402 just posted that they will be closing the charlieoscardelta.com forums down and moving the IW.com forums to a new IW.com forum system with a stream lined set of forums.I wanted to give you a heads up that the new InfinityWard.com will be soft-launching this weekend. Which means these forums will be replaced with the new Infinityward.com Forums as well as the rest of the site switching over. It's a soft-launch because we won't be publicizing the new site until June 23rd when Charlieoscardelta.com shuts down.
Hmm wonder what's going on, on the 23rd?One big change you'll notice is that the new forums will be much more simplified. There will only be three sections to the forums. Game Discussion, Studio Discussion, and Off-topic. No more dividing up everyone into platform specific cliques or dividing our community. It will help bring us all together and keep information in one place. That way, no matter what version of our games you're playing or what section you need help in, you can find the information your looking for in one section.
Wow, there's a bright idea, only three forums. I can see it now, PC + Xbox + PS3 = total kayos.
In addition to the new forums, the Community section will also have a blog. This will allow me to bring over a lot of the information you'd normally find at www.fourzerotwo.com (http://www.fourzerotwo.com/) to the official Infinity Ward site. So posts, videos, and other blog-related items about the studio or our game will now be at the Infinity Ward blog, as well as Fourzerotwo.com. (yes, I know www.fourzerotwo.com (http://www.fourzerotwo.com/) is not working right now, you can still visit it via http://iamfourzerotwo.com (http://iamfourzerotwo.com/) . There just seems to be a mixup with the domain I'm working out.)
Finally, he will be posting on the official site, instead of his personal blog.

Granted, IW.com's forums have turned into a kiddie fest, I can't wait to see what happens to them now... Someone send Joker and Razor some meds STAT! = Man are they going to need them.

I despised the login feature of Charlie Oscar Delta website and rarely would visit it because of that but this is rediculous!

the IW.com forums already became a farse with admin actions over there, but this will surely kill that board.

402, stop smoking that many pod and playing on the freaking consoles, and start supporting the group that made IW big, US THE PC-Gamers.

guess that my last visit to that site have been just about 5 minutes ago

Just to add a little more chaos.

The madness has began over there. I can't believe they tossed overboard all the information in the modding and mappers forums. Only folks who will be happy are the Charlie Oscar Delta children. What are they smoking over there ?????

Then iw.com might as well close its doors. There is more to the game then just jumping in. If it wasnt for the modders and mappers in the community problems with the game would be identified nor brought into the lime light.

All I have to say is this. Good luck IW you are going to need it. To cater to the console crowd just sunk the game. Its bad enough I am already seeing big drops in player counts now you will see a mass exit of players who is at this point so fed up with the crap that this new move will push them over the edge.

To stick every platform into one forum reaks of stupidity. What stupid F over at IW thought of this, seriously now who ever did this is stupid.

You all think that it was a kiddie fest over there it has just gotten worse. OM its going to get really bad now. Well I can see I have no use for that site now its nothing but console kiddie heaven now. Good luck

Besides, the time of day they're doing this shows both their thoughtlessness and inexperience. Amazing.

Truly, that URL will become something to avoid. Why? Because a loon is running the damn thing. :undecided

Seems that they screwed the passwords, and if you used a old email adress that you don't use/have anymore you're stuck on creating a new account with a different name.

cheese what looks that site horrible, runs horrible and making a descent favorites link is even impossible cause you get redirected to the front page.

haven't seen 1 normal post over there, three word games, silly topics with cartoons in it and the topics that are a bit critical are for the most on page 2 or 3 on no time.

whohee they really screwed that forum for good

Lost all post count which in a way is not bad, however I like to know when someone has actually joined a site over how many posts they may have.


Oh, well God bless Razor and Joker they have their work cut out.

I will say the new www.callofduty.com looks impressive.
