Call of Duty developers past and present have taken to social media to express their frustration with a comment made by God of War voice actor Christopher Judge at The Game Awards.

During a speech delivered by Judge at The Game Awards on December 7, ahead of him presenting the Best Performance award to Baldur's Gate 3's Neil Newbon, the actor made fun of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3's campaign.

"I’m not going to stand up here, making long speeches. I’m going to stick to the script. No eight-minute speech like last year," Judge said, referencing the 2022 award ceremony when he won Best Performance for his role as Kratos in God of War Ragnarok. "But fun fact, my speech was actually longer than this year’s Call of Duty campaign," he added.

"funny" but yeah the metrics that CoD absolutely destroys all of the God of war games (probably combined tbh) in is also equally laughable (if not more) . https://t.co/QDhc3qZ1se

The joke was met with more shocked reaction than anything else at The Game Awards, with the camera panning to attendees that covered their mouths or sat straight faced. But Call of Duty developers didn't hide their reactions, posting on social media to criticise the joke.

"Funny", said Ajinkya Limaye, a former Call of Duty developer at Infinity Ward that now works as a senior systems designer at Bungie. "But yeah, the metrics that Call of Duty absolutely destroys all of the God of War games (probably combined to be honest) is also equally laughable (if not more)."

Associate art director of fellow Call of Duty studio Treyarch Nelson Plumey weight in too: "Imagine having short user engagement once your game is consumed. Can't relate," they said.

"Honestly, as Call of Duty developers, we've heard way worse," added expert engineer at another Call of Duty developer, Sledgehamer Games, Darcy Sandall.

"But we don't expect it from a peer, at an event that supposed to be celebrating this years achievements in gaming. Especially with all the information that was leaked about it's development."

As well as the leaks mentioned by Sandall, which got so bad publisher Activision even made fun of the situation, Modern Warfare 3 developers were also reportedly the victims of crunch, creating the game in 18 months instead of the usual three year process.

The game was originally conceived as an expansion to 2022's Modern Warfare 2 before Activision turned it into a standalone, full-priced entry. This rushed development didn't result in a positive reception for the game, however.

==========================================================

《使命召唤》的过去和现在的开发者们纷纷在社交媒体上表达了他们对《战神》配音演员克里斯托弗·朱厄尔在The Game Awards颁奖典礼上发表的言论感到沮丧。

在2023年12月7日举行的The Game Awards颁奖典礼上，朱厄尔在颁发最佳表演奖给《博德之门3》的尼尔·纽本之前，他拿《使命召唤：现代战争3》的战役开起了玩笑。

“我不会站在这里长篇大论。我会按照剧本走。不会有像去年那样八分钟的演讲。”朱厄尔说，指的是他在2022年的颁奖典礼上因在《战神：诸神黄昏》中扮演克雷多斯一角而获得最佳表演奖。“但有趣的是，我的演讲实际上比今年的《使命召唤》战役还要长。”他补充道。

这个笑话在The Game Awards颁奖典礼上引起了更多震惊的反应，镜头扫过捂住嘴巴或正襟危坐的观众。但《使命召唤》的开发者并没有隐藏他们的反应，他们在社交媒体上发帖批评了这个笑话。

“好笑”，曾在Infinity Ward担任《使命召唤》开发者、现在在Bungie担任高级系统设计师的阿金基亚·利马耶表示。“但说实话，《使命召唤》绝对碾压所有《战神》游戏（可能加起来也一样）的指标也同样可笑（如果不是更可笑的话）。”

另一家《使命召唤》工作室Treyarch的副艺术总监尼尔森·普卢梅也参与其中：“想象一下你的游戏一旦被消费，用户参与度就会变短。我不敢苟同。”

另一位《使命召唤》开发商Sledgehammer Games的专家工程师达西·桑德尔补充道：“老实说，作为《使命召唤》开发者，我们听到过更糟糕的言论。”
“但我们不希望在一个应该庆祝今年游戏成就的活动中，从同行那里听到这样的话。特别是考虑到有关其开发的所有信息都被泄露了。”

除了桑德尔提到的泄漏问题——这变得如此严重，以至于发行商动视甚至拿这种情况开玩笑——据报道，《现代战争3》的开发者也是加班的受害者，他们在18个月内制作了这款游戏，而不是通常的三年制作过程。

这个游戏最初是作为2022年《现代战争2》的扩展包构思的，但在动视将其变成一款独立的全价游戏后，这种赶工的开发并未给游戏带来积极的反响。

多大个事儿！游戏业内人士这么开不起玩笑的吗？

业界人士的内心平稳需要我们广大玩家用心呵护，上次因为玩家对博德之门3的热情太过度高涨，就让暴雪和黑曜石的主创内心感到不平衡了。
