Duck and cover!
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfareisn’t even a day old and the shots are already being fired. The officialTitanfallTwitter sent out a snarky tweet in the direction of Activision’s shooter by quoting IGN’s review-in-progress forIW. I feel the language backfires on EA, but I’ll let you decide.
One is “mostly slow & plodding” while the other’s “frantic precision is electrifying”– you decide:https://t.co/QkynZOXgpn#MakeTheRightCallpic.twitter.com/aAHWbrZQ2y

I understand this is supposed to be in “good fun,” but I’m always turned off by big studiospretending to appealto their audience. EA clearly has its eye set on topplingCall of Dutyinstead of trying to create a game that can compete alongside the juggernaut of gaming.
Respawn Entertainment, the developer behindTitanfall, noted on Twitter that its official voice is from@Respawnand no one else.
For the record:@respawnis the official voice of Respawn studio. We have nothing but respect & love for our fellow devs.

What makes this really sad is thatTitanfall 2has, apparently, one of the best single-player shooter campaigns in recent memory. A lot of praise is being thrown around from people who are generally turned off by modern games, but that shouldn’t be surprising. Respawn Entertainment did help define the first-person shooter nine years ago withCall of Duty 4.
EA also hasBattlefield 1to tackleCall of Duty, so the need to even throw around petty jabs is unfounded. Just let people use their own minds and wallets to judge which game is better. You could also try releasing a game in a less crowded time of year.
