Atomic Games Closing Down

Luftwacko — Wed, 12 Aug 2009 00:53:59 +0800

Atomic Games, the developer of Six Days in Fallujah, are apparently closing down.

QUOTE

When Konami said nothankyou to its publishing deal for controversial title Six Days In Fallujah, it placed not just the future of the game, but future of the game's develpment studio - Atomic Games - in jeopardy.

With no publisher support for the game, Atomic were always going to be facing an uphill battle to secure funding for their operations. A battle that doesn't seem to be going too well, as we heard late last week that there had been some layoffs at the studio (though Atomic refused to clarify just how many).

Now Industrygamers say that, according to a source of theirs, the studio is basically done for. Out of an original 75 developers, "less than a dozen are left", and those remaining are basically there to finish things off. "They are trying to downplay the extent of these layoffs", the source says, "but the reality is that Atomic is pretty much dead."

We have contacted the studio and will update if the developer comments.

So much for people trying to make a game about a thing that actually happened, huh?

Albeit they lost their publisher due to the controversy, I still had high hopes for the game to be released next year. All is over not because of a ton of ppl complain about it, but because of 1, that's right, 1 person -- a lady who's son died in that battle, complained about it.

We could fry ppl with rock music playing in the background in World at War. Why don't people complain about that too?

Beware of Fake emails from COD5BETA@infinityward

There is a FAKE beta invite email going out to people which appears to come from COD5BETA@infinityward.com (see above).

If you receive one, just delete it. Don’t open it, reply, or click any links - it’s fake and could contain a virus or be an attempt to phish personal information. The body of the email is an exact replica of the one I sent out during the COD4 Beta, except they’ve replaced all references of Call of Duty 4.

For the record, there is no beta. Believe me, if we were having a beta, I’d be screaming it from every internet rooftop from Twitter to Forums. We have yet to even officially announce our next project, let alone a beta for it. Although, it is kind of flattering to think Spammers think a beta for our next game is luring enough to get people to open. WATCH OUT Penis Enlargement spam mail, there’s a new kid on the block!

What could I get for a budget of RM2000

Luftwacko — Tue, 30 Dec 2008 08:21:16 +0800

What system spec could I get for a budget gaming rig worth RM2000?

Slight over-budget wouldn't hurt. Just make sure it's not too much.

Thx in advance.

What're the reasons for getting kicked?

Luftwacko — Fri, 26 Dec 2008 03:10:35 +0800

Here're some of the silly reasons why ppl vote kick me during a game...

Wall-Banging
"OMGWTFBBQ!!! Luft can see me through the wall!!! HAXXOR!!!"
Owh c'mon, seriously, if you don't have a jammer, dun blame me for wall-banging.

Chatting
"Hey, tis ish not MSN" *vote kick*
WTF???

For no reason at all
Me: "Hey, y kik me?"
VoteKicker: "4 fun"
Me: "T________T"

Throw back martyr nade
"Hey, no martyrdom allowed!" *vote kick*
But that's someone else's martyr nade. I just happened to pick it up and..... *player kicked*

Being a lvl 55 player
SomeLowLvlDude: "Luft, go reset your account."
Me: "Like how? CoD4 doesn't have that kind of feature..."
*player kicked*

So-called "tubing"
*direct impact with stun grenade in HC*
"OMG! Tuber!!!"
*player kicked*

So what are your silly moments?

Man, this sucks. Badly.

Guys, I need your feedback...

The No Reason and Definitely Not For Competitive Play Mod

The weapons in Call of Duty 4 are well balanced, each weapon is designed to give a unique feel and purpose.
Some weapons are still significantly (or insignificantly) outclassed by other weapons.
Unlike other modifications that would alter or remove the differences, this is an attempt to instead "close the gap" while maintaining the uniqueness of weapon behavior.

A more convenient way to deal with these threads.

Luftwacko — Thu, 04 Dec 2008 21:22:42 +0800

I apologise for posting this up because it has no direct relation to the Call of Duty franchise, I just thought that this issue must be brought up for discussion.

As some of you had noticed, the pinned thread regarding forum R&R isn't working as well as we expected. Repeated threads regarding warez troubleshooting constantly gets posted up mostly due to fresh virgins who're new to the forum and did not read the R&R (or even maybe they even didn't know the R&R's existence). It would be absolutely harsh for us to bash em up nicely for breaking the rules... and that's not a very nice thing to do considering that they're most probably still in the "exploring" mode.

Hence, I'm starting this thread to propose my "simple" and "convenient" way to deal with these people.

Everytime a "I'm using warez, plz help me" thread pops up, just copy and paste the words below (wrapped in CODE tags) as a quick reply to them.

CODE

Dear TS,

Although I'm glad to aid you with the problem you're currently experiencing, warez talk is [B]strictly[/B] prohibited in this forum.

[SPOILER][QUOTE]1) No warez talks allowed. This includes posting requests on how to get warez versions to work, how to get warez titles, where to get warez titles, screenshots that are obviously from warez titles, asking about problems that are related to the warez version only or any discussion about the warez versions. Euphemisms are NOT allowed as well like "ahem", "*p version" or "pasar malam edition" to disguise what you're doing. These posts will be deleted without prior consent. Anyone who asks why or reposts it will be given warnings. Repeat offenders will be suspended. Do note that discussion on the state of piracy is allowed, but with limits.[/QUOTE][/SPOILER]

If it isn't too much to ask for, I (and the rest of the community) would like you to personally close this thread yourself before the moderator decides to do it for you. You can do it by selecting the "moderation options" located at the bottom left hand corner of this very page, choose "close this topic" and click the "GO" button.

Please [B]read[/B] and [B]understand[/B] the forum R&R before posting in the future. Happy foruming. :)

Good Day ;)

It'll look something like this:

So yea, there goes my 2 cents suggestion. Just a few simple steps on how to deal with them in a not-so-mean way, copy, paste, and reply.

Luftwacko — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 01:34:26 +0800

Could any of you who have the beta upload the iw_02.iwd file to me? I wanna check out the weapons stats. I've been trying to download this crap (the whole beta, 800+ mb) these past few days and it kept phailing me.

Downloaded 200+ mb, stop.... restart.... 600+ mb, stop.... restart.... 300+ mb stop....

So yea, if any of you are kind enough, humble-humble Luftwacko have nothing else but one request, can I have the iw_02.iwd file plz? (if it does exist)

Thx in advance
