    New Blog - Competitive Multiplayer in CoD:WW

    Activision has posted up a new blog today over on IGN that talks with Multiplayer Design Director David Vonderhaar about the multiplayer of Call of Duty: World at War. Take a look:
    Instead of reiterating things you already know from the plethora of MP coverage already out there, I wanted to give you a blog that you haven’t seen before. So I sat down with David Vonderhaar, our Multiplayer Design Director, and asked him to narrate the weapon balancing process for you all! It can be a controversial topic in First-Person shooters, and hopefully he puts it into perspective for all of you.

    But first, I want to show you this brand-new Competitive Multiplayer video David put together, showcasing just how much Call of Duty: World at War has to offer:

    David Vonderhaar on Weapon Balancing:
    The Weapon balancing process is always a fun (and internally controversial) project to take on.

    Nearly everyone on the team will have a favorite gun. With that favoritism often comes unrealistic and emotionally-charged expectations about how that gun should behave.

    Now that is a Quote-for-Truth if I've ever seen one.

          That... was the most irritating video I've ever watched in my entire life... I think from the bottom of my heart... It really was.

            That's the point. That's just how irritating the gaming community is in general, when asked about what is most important to them in a game...they stay on topic for one or two things, then go all ADHD throwing in everything but the kitchen sink.

              Oh, I am sure you can find more irritating.

              The video is about TRUTH. Everyone always says "All I want is this one little thing to make a game perfect." Everyone has different ideas of what will make it perfect though.

              Its a good piece of satire from the devs.
