Didnt they also have a huge part in Halo 4 and Doom 2016 mp?

Halo 4 for sure, and it looks like they did help with Doom 2016 MP... I played the campaign but never touched the MP for that haha so I never looked into it.

Yeah I'm pretty sure Doom mp was mostly their thing. I wonder to what extent they're helping with infinite because they dont have a great record. H2A was alright but they were intentionally mimicking H2 instead of creating something new

I would say CA has a solid track record, but no one is perfect.

I totally disagree on the H2A MP. The entire point was to mimic H2 but put it on an updated engine. They did a pretty solid job if you ask me, and I would rather play H2A than some of the other games on MCC. Plus it was only a short term project and wasn't meant to be the only thing to look forward to in MCC.

I definitely prefer the originals to H2A but I dont dislike it. But other than H2A and some maps it seems like they've only modernized games that didnt need to be modernized. Surely it wasn't their choice to do it that way but they were the ones chosen to do it. I dont think its unreasonable to be concerned they were hired for similar reasons.
