Fourzerotwo has just posted a plethora of new information about the final stages of development before COD4 goes gold.
On Friday Sep 28th the level cap will be raising to 25.
On Sep 30 the Beta will close
He also talks about some work they have done with Host Optimization and how they are going to deal with glitchers (you die).
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
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
They are deliberately only giving us a taste of the new guns for a few days so we have to go buy the game. Smart though, if they kept the beta going till launch some people would probably get board with it (not me).
Prolly won't be playing beta after the 25th.
Kill-switched? Does that mean I can't get on the roof in overgrown anymore :(?
lol on the 28th yea ill be playing halo 3 no time for this beta.
I like the part about killing the glitchers because the day I get this game I will just log on to laugh and watch the carnage and listen to the complaints.
