Thread: Codemasters Guildford Studio to close!

  1. #31
    Even have been spoiled by codemasters, the name still has a powerful market value. Specially, if BIS took possession of it again.
    Operation Flashpoint deals with cold war events, while ArmA deals with modern equipments.
    I'd gladly support both franchises. And I'm sure that most people in this forum would do it.
    Gigabyte GA-P55A-UDP4 // I5-750@3.2Ghz // 2x G.Skill 2000 CL9 /2G // Asus 4890 1GB Voltage Tweaker // 2x HD WD1000EALS // Corsair HX750 // Thermalright Mux-120// CoolerMaster 690 // Win XP SP3 and Cat. 10.5 // Win 7 (64) and Cat 10.5

    I somehow doubt that shutting their Guildford studio would prevent CM from making any shooting games at their other studios if they wanted to.

    I'm afraid BIS has put an end to the OFP chapter with the 1.99 patch renaming OFP to Arma : CWA.

    Goodbye W0lle, we'll miss you

    That's true.
    However in business, going back in a decision, is not so uncommon.
    But more than anyone else, BIS is in a better position to evaluate the whole situation.
    I'm only saying, that there's, probably, room for both.
    Not all OFP fan is an ArmA fan.

    I would not worry about the jobs lost. Anybody that has been on the previous "shooter" projects already lost them and then some were called back. Its the way of the biz, if your just a hired hand. Its always short, with one foot out the door when working for a crap studio as CM. But its all about there engine, its not made for shooters. Codemasters has not the cash to build a shooter engine in house, and wont license any of the good ones. Now if UBI would just explode and spin out the good stuff (redstorm) to be indie.

    I am just going to say that if you need to explain your name to your customers something is off. And yes, i do think that, for example, 'Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter' is a more interesting name than 'ArmA', purely because its longer.
    In the end it doesnt really matter to me, but the name doesnt really help the game i think.

    I feel a little bit sad for this. Because a lot of people obviously have lost their jobs, aswell included failed titles in their CV, not to mention the cost for something like this, and It's all due to idiots like Sion Lenton and the rest of the people at Codemasters that support their business.

    As always I bet the people that are behind all this crap will get away with it.

    I do feel very happy about the fact Codemasters screwed up real bad. I only hope that the people behind it wont get away with it.
