Fair use rationale for Image:Infinity Ward Logo.jpg

Image:Infinity Ward Logo.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 08:21, 5 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Image copyright problem with Image:Call Of Duty 4 MP Screenshot.jpg

The image Image:Call Of Duty 4 MP Screenshot.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here. In particular, for each page the image is used on, it must have an explanation linking to that page which explains why it needs to be used on that page. Please check

That there is a non-free use rationale on the image's description page for the use in this article.
That this article is linked to from the image description page.

Vandalism

Got a lot of vandalism here from some disgruntled PC gamers. Moozipan Cheese (talk) 20:43, 20 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The last section regarding the dropped dedicated servers in Modern Warfare 2 is inappropriate for a wikipedia article, for its effect on IW's sales and share price must be seen to have a long and lasting effect to warrant its place here. Can we come to some kind of conclusion to exclude such materials before Modern Warfare 2 has gone on sale for at least some time before we put anything more on that issue in this article? 222.153.247.254 (talk) 05:38, 26 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More vandalism from PC gamers. :/ 13 November 2009 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.208.237.48 (talk) 13:51, 13 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Robert Bowling

He is now the "Creative Strategist" at Infinity Ward. His title is no longer "Community Manager". This is sourced via his Twitter account @fourzerotwo. Checkmate11B (talk) 11:01, 23 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

There are also a lot of criticism around him. Ever since Call of Duty:Modern Warfare 2 came out the PC community have been bashing him and demanded response from him and Infinity Ward based on the failiur of the new P2P IWNET online game hosting system and a bunch of other false promises and advertisment for the MW2 PC version. --Rexz (talk) 17:13, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's irrelevant since this is an article about the company, and Bowling himself isn't in charge of design decisions like that. He does interviews and press events, that's it. IWNet hasn't "failed", the PC community just doesn't like it. Infinity Ward's online forums would be a betterplace to voice your complaints.=/= Ironoclast (Talk) 17:51, 18 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It's not a complaint, it's a FACT that people are complaining about him. There's nothing wrong with stating that there's big criticism about him, because we would be just starting the truth. Also, the people that runs or manage or have some kind of authority under the company should be noted, whether they should have their own page on it or not, or section. Noted that the name Robert Bowling is count as a tag leading to this article, so there's no good reason to not feature him in this page or to have a section for him and what's surrounding him in the industry and the gaming community. --Rexz (talk) 10:26, 20 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Game engines

I saw the discussion about the COD2 engine, and one of the arguments, that the game says that it uses technology licensed from Id is also appliable to the Modern warfare 2. Also the source cited in the call of duty 2 says it uses a new engine.
