Speculation that COD4 has gone gold is apparently false despite the addition of COD4 to Fourzeotwo's Gamercard. According to Fourzerotwo's blog the team at Infinity Ward is testing the Single Player and using feedback from the ongoing Beta to fine tune the Multiplayer (including some improvements to Hit Detection problems caused by server lag).
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.
I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.
That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.
They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2
Seriously man we need games like
True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row
GTA can’t be the only option we need other games
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
I'm glad to hear they are working on Hit Detection, I don't know how many times I have seen my game register a Hit on my side but then when I'm watching the kill Cam I don't hit them at all.
Hit detection definitely needs to be fixed and Auto aim needs to be taken out of the game completely.
Yea hit detection kinda gets on my nerves. Love watching that killcam and seeing the guy I was shooting at never got shot, while I get blasted.
Spawn system needs to be fixed also. I don't know if they can do anything with it. I don't have any suggestions, but it's just ridiculous to kill a guy, then have him spawn practically with his gun pointing at you. Happens to me all the time. I'll kill a guy, then he'll spawn a second later behind me somewhere and waste me.
But other than that, this Beta has been one of the greatest online multiplayer experiences I've ever had. I love this game.
...they would allow you to select a game to join and not just assign you to one. I hate ending up in a game only to find my connection is crap. I also hate exiting that game to find another but ending back up in the same game!!!
That is what the Beta is for I hope. I found COD4 to be quite fun and addictive, however, all the points above are true.
To add to that, I wish they would actually get rid of the x that appears when you hit someone, especially behind obstacles. If someone is hiding and you shoot through a wall or throw a grenade for example, an x appears and it gives away where they are.
And I always spawn in a location close to where I died and thus, know where the _ucker that killed me is. I should be spawning as far away from where I died as possible (if possible).
Other than that... Level Design is Beautiful and Interesting. Can't wait to play the full version.
