Hah!

For once it is ME saying "I already posted that on the forum a short while ago".

Which is weird, because the IGN url above is dated yesterday. Very weird...

here was that thread:
"RO2 dev bashes COD, accidentally triggers great FPS discussion" (http://forums.righteouswrath.com/index.php/topic,9785.0.html)

Oops, never mind, this is a different but similar thing.

I guess those in the comments in the OTHER thread were correct and/or triggered this other expression of sacrilege! ;) Or maybe it's just that the guy in charge of CoD isn't afraid of insulting the hardcore gamers because he thinks he's complimenting the casuals? Or maybe he's setting himself for a nice helping of humbling comeuppance...

Hah!

Actually I always imagined that a huge portion of CoD players fell into the same bin as Sports game players... Its just one game, they don't see anything out side it and that is what they enjoy doing.

I found it funny that the developer out and said it without mincing words
