“People Lost Their F**king Minds”- Infinity Ward Developer Walks Down Memory Lane With Bizzare Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Feedback Voicemails

2005 – 2015 was an exceptional era for the video game industry as franchises gifted fans some of the best titles. They relied on producing quality over quantity, trying to put a smile on every fan’s face. Those ten years of gaming also came as a challenge, with fans shifting their focus from genre to genre.

While the majority adored franchises like Nintendo, PlayStation, Xbox, and many more, they kept shifting from one game to another as per their choice. Everyone’s entitled to their likes and dislikes, and we can barely do anything to stop them. 

However, when it comes to likes and dislikes, the main problem that all companies fall prey to is opinions. Despite considering a particular game as their favorite, every franchise has a community that blames and calls out every bad thing about the game. 

Back in 2009, when Infinity Ward released Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2, they decided to understand their fans’ opinions in a unique way. Robert Bowling, their lead developer, was given the responsibility for the job. The dev received over 2000 voicemails that he almost forgot to attend to during the time. So, 13 years later, amidst the fresh Modern Warfare 2 release, he decided to decipher them on stream.

Thirteen years back, Activision dropped one of its most anticipated games, Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2.

So, they let out a public number, allowing all to share their honest opinions about the game.

The franchise received over 2000 voicemails that rested well in their archives for years. Their lead developer, Robert, had totally forgotten about them until now. As a result, Bowling decided to feature them on stream, as the franchise was about to release a fresh version of the same game. And, mind you, fans back then weren’t happy.

Robert shared one of his clips on Twitter, baffling the entire community. “People Lost Their F**king Minds,” the Infinity Ward dev said as he played some exclusives for fans. Sadly, all users had to turn down their volumes as Modern Warfare fans were deeply unsatisfied with the game.

Plus, this turned against him, as the community wasn’t satisfied with the recently released beta. Fans were quite upset about footsteps being too loud, red dots being removed from minimaps, and many more. So, Robert’s witty move kind of turned against him.
