Activision Failed to Launch Successfully, again

AndrewSmither

For the second time, that’s right second, Activision Failed to launch their new Call of Duty (CoD for short) game without flaws. Last year at the launch of Black Ops (Blops for short). Their excuse last year was that they did not expect their game to do as well as it did. The servers could not keep up with the online activity. This year they used the same excuse as CoD once again broke the record for video game sales on it’s release. CoD MW3 grossed 400million on its release alone. They claimed their online service was okay, but from personal experience it was extremely laggy the first weekend. The part that failed, was the new Elite service. They hyped the service up so much before hand and even had a ton of beta testers. It’s a service that’s now available for Blops and MW3. However, the amount of new users registering literally crashed the site. After they fixed that glitch, it crashed again because it couldn’t handle all the users checking their data. The website was temporarily shut down. They said they were doing their best to add servers because… you guessed it, they didn’t expect their service to do so well. In attempts to appease all those subscribed to the paid version of elite, they gave everyone 30 days free. Still, I’m disappointed. Two big game releases with two bumpy launches. CoD is the most popular best selling multiplayer game to date, and they don’t expect it do to that well? Come on Activision, lets hear a more realistic excuse. You have beta testers and pre-orders for a reason.

Technology in Construction & Manufacturing: Why It’s More Than Just Device Management

January 20, 2026

Modern construction and manufacturing sites are no longer just about heavy machinery; they’re digital ecosystems. Tablets, laptops, IoT sensors, and mobile apps are now essential for everything from blueprint access to production monitoring. These tools enable real-time collaboration, safety compliance, and operational efficiency. But when your workforce is spread across remote job sites or large facilities, keeping these systems connected and secure becomes a challenge. Construction Blueprint & Plan Access: Crews use tablets to view updated plans on-site, reducing errors and rework. Safety & Compliance Reporting: Mobile apps allow instant incident reporting and safety checks. Equipment Tracking: IoT sensors monitor heavy machinery usage and maintenance needs. Manufacturing Production Line Monitoring: Tablets and IoT devices track throughput and detect anomalies. Quality Control: Mobile devices capture and share inspection data in real time. Inventory Management: Connected devices streamline material tracking and reduce downtime. These tools keep projects moving, but only if they’re secure, updated, and accessible anywhere. Why Remote Access Is Critical Construction sites and manufacturing plants often operate in remote or rugged environments. Workers need secure, reliable access to company systems, whether they’re in the field, on the shop floor, or traveling between sites. Without proper management, connectivity issues and security gaps can lead to delays, data breaches, and compliance failures.
