MW2 shortlisted for WGA Videogame Writing Award
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has been recognised for in-game scripts quality and storytelling by WGA, the Writers Guild of America.
It has been shortlisted for the WGA Videogame Writing Award. The winner will be announced on February 20, 2010.
The dialogue of Modern Warfare 2 was written by a large team that was led by Jesse Stern.
According to the guild, the WGA Videogame Writing Award is designed to honour the “writers as a major creative force in today’s burgeoning gaming industry”.
The figures that were published this week by the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association revealed that MW2 was the best-selling title of 2010.
Electronic Arts (EA) been throwing punches at Modern Warfare 2 for sometime claiming that the new Battlefield: Bad Company from the DICE studio would have dedicated servers for the PC gamers. It will be valuing the importance of PC gameplay and also customization of it.
Jens Uwe, headmaster of the European division of EA, said in an interview on Friday, “In March we will launch Battlefield: Bad Company 2, which is our first strong attack on Call Of Duty… The shooter space is one we don’t want to give up. It’s an important genre and we were the number one. So we are certainly working on how we can get that crown back and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 is an important product in that context.”
One who has played first Bad Company as well as the Modern Warfare titles may be knowing well that the games are very different in style and also in gunplay. We may also have found out that DICE is on the way of making some changes in it such as making the enemies more easier to kill to fall in line.
Sigh - the people who brought us the completely needless airport scene and the completely ridiculous Russian invasion of the US for no good reason are up for an award? My opinion of humanity just dropped a notch.
