Quoting Snarkasm

A) Two different dev teams make up competing Call of Duty streams - Treyarch and Infinity Ward. IW makes the Modern Warfare series, which can easily be considered a different game series compared to the WWII-centric Treyarch-developed Call of Duty 3/World at War/etc. B) Due to the differences in game dynamic (WWII vs Modern Warfare), the audiences for the games are very segregated - those that like WWII gaming like WaW, those that don't like MW.

- Some folks, there's just no reasoning with....

Okay, I have you now. Unreal Tournament 2003, then 2004.

Its basically the same game with a new mode thrown in, and some vehicles, developed by the same developer - Epic, and we were promised cross play between 2003 and 2004 for the same DM maps and such, but that did not happen because of "complexities with the net code" I purchased 2003, and no, I did not stage a boycott when 2004 came out, I paid full price. So is Epic guilty as charged? Should we be taking this up with them as well? Thats a fair comparison, why werent people absolutely up in arms about it then? Why is Valve held to a higher standard than famed PC develper Epic?
