Call of Duty: Ghosts started as 'Modern Warfare 4'

In the weeks leading up to the Call of Duty: Ghosts reveal, fans tended to use "Modern Warfare 4" as shorthand for the unnamed project. Apparently that title wasn't just for fans, as executive producer Mark Rubin says the game actually started as a direct sequel, before the studio changed the name.

So in other words, this is MW4 and they just changed the name to make it sound like a new "innovative" series

Detoxx3874d ago

Now there will be 3 COD games every 2 years. Black Ops one year, MW and Ghost the other LOL

MWong3874d ago

Sounds about right, MW4-2 Ghosts Revenge.

"it came to the conclusion that with an entirely new engine, it could do somewhat of a reboot"

Thought it was not a new engine but the old one highly revised. Either way, looks too similar to the old ones graphically and gameplay wise to invest $60 on it. I cancelled my preorder last week and prepaid Infamous SS.

aksmashh3874d ago

I think they mean COD4

I always give cod a chance (bought bo2 last year) but they cant expect me to buy it next gen when all theyve done is polish the graphics, add some scripted destruction and also shown f### all gameplay!! especially whens theres killzone and bf4!!!

CrossingEden3874d ago

polished the gameplay as well, they made a huge load of new animations for this game, and people really need to stop hating on it ESPECIALLY when those same people are gonna be playing it eventually.

THAT EXACTLY WHAT THIS IS!!! nothing more then MW4, but they knew they'd get SLAUGHTER in the press with anything similiar to that garbage MW3, but that's really ALL this is.. and folks like IGN are gonna continue to pump in the trash as if its really something "new and innovative"...... like the dev said, this really nothing more than MW4..

HAHAAAHAAA
Well ofcourse Activision. No offence, but Imma just gonna play Borderlands, Destiny and Battlefield and I think I'll have my FPS shooters full
Try something different AND ACTUALLY PUT EFFORT IN YOUR GAME
Fucking fish and a dog are not revolutionary!
You lied about having a new engine!
You lied that you are making a new COD for next gen!
You lied that you would listen to fans!
I was a fan since the original! COD4 was great! Black ops was great everything else and in between sucked ass!
What happened to you guys?! You were praised by making the best FPS on a console! COD4 was one of the most popular shooters ever! You actually put some effort in your games! Now COD is like a used whore, that you keep trying to sell to your customers!
If you still wonder why people make fun of you, why dont you watch the XBox One reveal and see your part.
It's too damn easy to make fun of you people!

All Call of Duty Games Ranked from Worst to Best

BLG writes: "Call of Duty has to be the most recognizable franchise on the planet. They didn’t get that way by only making a handful of games.

COD has a long and storied career. Launching as a PC WW2 first-person shooter, Call of Duty has gone through numerous makeovers and been on just about every system. The series has gone through some serious highs and tragic lows. I’ll be looking at each Call of Duty game, the good the bad, and the ugly."

Vanguard better be at the fkn bottom. Can’t believe ppl haven’t eviscerated that game with all its lacking

Minimoth796d ago

Yeah, it's close to the bottom. There are a couple of worse ones. Infinite Warfare definitely deserves its place.

KyRo796d ago

There's a number a lot worse than Vangaurd. It's also a lot better than that car crash Treyarch released before it.

XbladeTeddy796d ago

World at War is my favourite. Didn't know the N-Gage had a Call of Duty.

MadLad796d ago

Same for me.
I was never huge into Call of Duty, but I sunk a lot of time into WaW.
Both the campaign and the multiplayer are on point. Wouldn't mind a remaster.

I quit on CoD for a long while. Though I'm the odd man out that actually really enjoyed the campaign for WWII, being I got it through Humble monthly way back when.

TheLigX796d ago

I really enjoyed the Infinite campaign. Multiplayer... not so much.

Yppupdam796d ago

I agree, The Infinite campaign feels more like it's own thing that they slapped the CoD name on. If it stood on it's own, (sans the CoD name) I think it could have been it's own scifi franchise. And a damn good looking game, to boot. I never bothered to play the multiplayer.

victorMaje796d ago

MW 2019 apart from the desastrous file sizes is way better than AW.

MadLad795d ago

That was one I grabbed for Playstation because it pretty much just came out during the Redbox purge of videogames, and I got it for dirt cheap.

It was great coming home to an update every night, and watching one game eat up almost half my console's memory.

Amplitude796d ago (Edited 796d ago )

Will get disagrees but Infinite Warfare campaign was really good. Decent story, set pieces were amazing and if it didn't have the CoD game on it I'm sure people would have been more into it. Advanced Warfare was alright too. Titanfall 2 was just 1000 times better than both but I enjoyed them for their campaigns. I literally barely gaf about the story I'm in it for the set pieces and 5 hours of being stoned watching cool nonsense happen if I'm in the mood to play a CoD campaign. If I'm looking for a deep plot I'm gonna go somewhere else.
Ghosts was the worst story-wise though lol that cliffhanger ending was so bs.

Also MW 2019 was sick and is one of the best CoD games in yeeeears not sure why it's so low on this dude's list. Campaign was great, multiplayer was great and Warzone was fun for a while. Over it now but shrugs.

Beat the Vanguard campaign too but I can't even remember a single thing about it other than that it felt like it was 45 minutes long. Might be the most forgettable thing I've ever played lol just fully erased from my brain

Wore implementation I've ever seen,.. guess it just does not work all that great on every engine

MarkyMark891757d ago (Edited 1757d ago )

Agree, but this gives me hope that one day Ray Tracing can be a software based feature and not require some type of proprietary hardware to achieve. Software will always outpace Hardware so it could happen, but I feel like its going to take a lot more time to achieve the same level that RTX has already shown glimpses of so far. Really just waiting for Cyberpunk to see if RTX is actually something viable. I think if anybody can truly showcase RTX Features it would be Projekt Red.

zeal0us1757d ago

Too bad it doesn't make Mankind Divided a better game.

starchild1757d ago

It doesn't need to, the game was already fantastic, imo.

zeal0us1757d ago

Human Revolution was a better game and not to mention longer.

isarai1757d ago

Reshade is not raytracing, its a screen space post processing effect. Thats like calling SSAO "global illumination"
