[maf3000]

The companies behind Call of Duty and World of Warcraft are merging in a deal which could shake up the global video games industry.
Activision and Blizzard have said they will form "the world's most profitable games business" in a deal worth $18.8bn (£9.15bn).

So there might be a possibility of Call of duty 5 having WOW-like upgrades & skills....COD Dota perhaps?

Rofl, this is interesting. I don't even know what to make of it whether this is a good thing or not.

This could be very good for gamers but not so good for employees

After COD4 i dont think activision needs any help with COD series so i hope the merge doesnt have negative effects on the game.

Maybe they'll make a Call a Duty with WoW graphics and give the characters guns and war machines mixed with magic.

Well Blizzard is good with strategy elements so maybe they can take care of that part of any future games they might make. Thinking something Bioshokish but more intense.

Hmm, ActivBlizz or AB as I would call it. Not a bad name at all .
