"We don't even think about them. They're not a game we even think about when we're playing, we think about the best shooters, we play [Call of Duty 4] Modern Warfare, we play... Gears of War, we play Halo, you know, that's the competition. We want to look at the games that do great storytelling. I watched the trailer and I'm was like 'these guys aren't even in the same league.'"
Brothers in Arms: Hell's Highway is the third iteration in the World War Two shooter series, making it, along with Call of Duty, one of the only currently active Second World War series in a once-overpopulated genre. Still, Heller remained unimpressed: "We don't want to look at someone who's just making a crappy war game."
However, Treyarch, developers of Call of Duty: World at War were quick to make peace with Gearbox, with a Community Manager posting an apology on the official Xbox forums:
"We want to let everyone know that we found those remarks offensive, and they do not in any way represent the feelings of any developer at this studio or at Activision ... We have nothing but respect for the guys and gals at Gearbox."
War averted, then. Peace in our time.
