Infinity Ward responds to GTA 5 mocking CoD - "it's pretty cool"
The blurb proceeds in fairly withering style. "Insurgents are killing orphans. They have nerve toxin and a nuke. You're flashing back a lot telling a dramatic story cobbled together from assorted generic multiplayer levels so we could get the game made in time." The multiplayer, meanwhile, allows you to "purchase upgrades so that you can destroy those with more skill and less money than you - just like in real life."
So what does Infinity Ward, developer of Modern Warfare 2 and the forthcoming Call of Duty: Ghosts, think of all this?
"I definitely laugh at it," community manager Tina Palacios told OXM at a preview event. "I think it's funny that they mentioned us - cheers to them, that's pretty cool."
She declined to comment at length on Rockstar's critique, observing that it's not Infinity Ward's lot to make decisions about how the Call of Duty franchise at large is sold or presented. "I've been in Europe these past two weeks so I've not got to play GTA 5 myself, but... From a development standpoint? We just enjoy games. And I know it's funny to have to say that, but we really do - it's our job to make them and we like playing them, so...
"We don't really see it from a publisher's perspective when we make a game, whether it's going to sell and so on, we just focus on whether we're having fun playing it, because if not we're going to change it. We just focus on the enjoyment factor rather than anything else."
The sniping should serve as a bit of additional publicity for Infinity Ward, if nothing else. "When I see the GTA shout-outs, it's kind of like seeing your game in South Park, it's pretty cool," said Palacios. "I got a call from my mom saying that on the news she heard that Call of Duty's mentioned in Grand Theft Auto, because she only knows Call of Duty, GTA and FIFA. So it's pretty cool!"

My favorite part of this story is the fact that Infinity Ward actually responded.
Normally if something like this were to happen, the company that got mocked wouldn't respond or say a word about it and try to act like nothing happened.

Dr-PonyfileAbbreviate-SkillzImpossibility got to love when cod gets made fun of
I know right. I don't like cod anymore
You should try Salmon, far better.
No no no COD is horrible, Salmon meh its all about the Tuna mmmmmm.
Cod isn't that bad, guys!
Although I do agree that it is pretty funny that Rockstar took their time just to make it so that COD would be mocked.

Dr-JDaw Lol if only this was an actual game.
If it was an arcade game for 10$ I would buy it
Me too, games like these I would buy for $10 not that much but fun to play none the less but the likelihood of this happens is close to not happening lol.
