  • Acitivison CEO on MP changes: “The map impacting change on you and you impacting change on the map becomes a strategic weapon now that can be used against you or for you.

  • Ghosts has all new story, new characters, new world.
  • Stephen Gaghan “has an office at Infinity Ward.” Working directly with the team to come up with the story, ideas, and more.
