An FPS Server guide for developers
It's not rocket science and to be honest, most if not all of these features have been around for some time. However we keep seeing new games released, with a lot of these basic features missing.
Click here to view the list of features we've been asking for since 2001
Please use this thread to leave feedback or be part of the continued discussion on what admins need to run a successful game server.

Activision #1? |
|
May 11, 2008 - 8:00 PM - by Ghost-Ryder

With apologies to EA, Activision might actually be the biggest publisher in gaming. For the fiscal year ending March 31, Activision is reporting net income of a whopping $344.9 million on an even more incredible revenue of $2.9 billion. Revenue is up some 92% over a year ago. So, Call of Duty 4 and Guitar Hero III seem to have made a lot of cash registers go cha-ching.
Based on such impressive earnings and NPD sales numbers, Activision is now claiming to have vaulted over EA and become the gaming Industry number one third-party publisher with 17.3% of the market.
And expect 2009 to be an even bigger year for Activision, with CEO Bobby Kotick claiming that the $18.9 billion merger with Vivendi Universal to form Activision-Blizzard was moving ahead full steam. Revenue for Activision alone over the next fiscal year is being pegged at $3.2 billion already, too, which is pretty spectacular growth in a bummed-out economy.
Check out Activision's investor website for more facts, figures, and "Nyah-nyah! We're bigger than EA!" bragging.

New CoD5 info - just rumors just rumors |
|
May 09, 2008 - 9:41 PM - by rudedog
|
These guys where spot on during the early CoD4 rumors so I'm leaning towards believing in them. It's too late for any reply from Activision but I have a feeling they would deny any of this.Sources tell us that the upcoming Call of Duty 5 game in development is already playable, and currently going through quality assurance.
Treyarch is also said to be the developer, and the title, we're told, is set in a WWII Pacific environment and will be using Call of Duty 4's engine, the same engine on which the upcoming James Bond: Quantum of Solace movie game is being built.

- Update. received an email from Activision earlier today (yes Sunday). They can only confirm what was said during the latest share holders conference call, meaning we can at least expect the next Call of duty to be released on the PC platform. More info will be posted when made available.

"BioWare has always listened very closely to its fans and we made this decision to ensure we are delivering the best possible experience to them," Waramaniuk wrote.
"To all the fans including our many friends in the armed services and internationally who expressed concerns that they would not be able re-authenticate as often as required, EA and BioWare want you to know that your feedback is important to us."

Next Call of Duty to be released in 2009 |
|
May 08, 2008 - 6:04 PM - by rudedog
|
During today's Activision Q4 and Fiscal 2008 Year End Earnings Conference call, it was mentioned around 35:22 that the next installment of Call of Duty will be released in a new theater and on all 4 current platforms plus the PS2 and Nintendo Wii.
We would assume this means that CoD5 (by Treyarch) will be released on the PC as well as the console and handset platforms.
On a side note, the Call of Duty franchise has made Activision over 1 Billion dollars in its life time and grossed over 1 Million downloads via XBL (Xbox 360 map pack for CoD4).
