It has been exactly forty webcasts since the now infamous BASH 123, a fact that was pointed out to me by my guest on this program, Josh Peckler from planetcallofduty.com. BASH 123 inaugurated MW2 and brought an end to the usual way of doing things in the Call of Duty community.
Forty casts later, a new game and a new developer: Treyarch brings us Call of Duty Black Ops. Yet, the ghost of BASH 123 seems to be channeling itself through some members of our community. Alarming rumors and innuendo are being bandied about. Some are even bringing up the same old accusations of PC-abandonment leveled on MW2 developer Infinity Ward. <!--more-->
As PC gamers are we staring down the same MW2-style abyss or have we inaugurated a new beginning in PC gaming thanks to a PC-friendly developer?
We explore the possibility that many in the community may have over-reacted, thanks to the lack of clear, official information on the multiplayer — in part due to poor reporting during the MP reveal. To stem some of the over-reaction and criticism that followed, Treyarch PC developer pcdev issued an official MP FAQ to help distinguish fact from fantasy. The reality of the situation may be much better than some may have thought.
On with me, as usual, to dissect the Call of Duty Black Ops MP FAQ is Jim (aka Rudedog) from fpsadmin.com.
