Modern Warfare 4 Rumours Are “Not True” Say Infinity Ward

"Earlier today, rumours were abuzz after a journalist claimed to have spoken to a voice actor from previous Modern Warfare titles. The voice actor claimed he’d been contacted for a Modern Warfare 4 but it seems Infinity Ward noticed."

Son_Lee4185d ago

Of course it exists, but they aren't gonna try to take any of the shine away from Black Ops II since it's so close to release. They'll announce MW4 in February/March.

Neonridr4185d ago

MW4 is an inevitability. The real question will be, will it recycle the same tired engine again, or will they finally upgrade to something newer. And will it still be a current gen title? If it drops next fall then I would have to assume it would be current gen.

Son_Lee4185d ago

It has to be a new engine. I mean, they can't go with the same engine for the 5th game in a row. Even IW knows that. I hope.

Muffins12234185d ago

Well,next year looks like a next gen xbox release so im guessing it will either come out in November or December on next gen....that wont be able to use that bullshit 60fps excuse again for this game if its next gen,they will have to upgrade the engine.

CapsLocke4185d ago

They could easily make the same game on the same engine and not only get away with it but also get a ton of money, like always.

knowyourstuff4185d ago

Knowing how cheap Activision is, they won't upgrade the engine from the ground up, they'll just do some adjustments and make it look pretty good on next gen consoles. Also, it will be out for PS3, but not the 360, since we all know when Microsoft puts out a new console, they completely abandon the old one and force everyone still loyal to their brand to buy the new one, which is a hella smart business move if you want to push new tech with some force. Just like Call of Duty 3, you will see it on new consoles and Sony's old console.

Fishy Fingers4185d ago

But if they don't recycle the same old engine how will we recycle the same old comments about it?

paydayp4184d ago

if next gen comes next year and that is if.
it will be the same engine than this gen and will be on both the new gen and current systems.
only the new gen will have better textures and maybe some better animation.
i dont think it will be called mw4. they will drop the either the 4 or put ''new'' in front mw or something like that or maybe a whole new subtitle.
but thats only what i think

SolidStoner4184d ago (Edited 4184d ago )

I kinda like it that they release games so soon (knowing how waiting can be painful for some games). But COD is the only game I know that looks and feels so same after so many releases... so its a good thing for those who like the 1st game, and bad for those who want new experiences... just look how battlefield evolved compared to 1st games, those physics are awesome compared to glitching knifes and tomahawks in all cod's, same small number of maps... maps are so small that one battlefield capture point in Conquest can be full COD map easy, and thats the reason why I get tired of new COD after a month, buying new maps DLC is just stupid, you have to wait 3 months for it and then pay 15$ for 4 little tiny maps (it can include old maps, lol, just to lough at you!)(it should include all old cod maps at release in the first place, since its mainly same graphics).. (now my favorite MP game is BF3 period) after playing alot of COD... size does matters!

I still recommend COD as a good game to play for a while! it does have good online, for a month, then I recommend to sell it, move on, and wait for the next one! that way you will save time, money and nerves!

artdafoo4184d ago

Sorry kids, they been doing the same damn crap for ever and they will probably never do an overhaul. What for ? All the fanboys keep paying for the same rehash every year. As far as next gen goes theyll just let the new hardware make it look better so it will look like it does now on gaming PCs. You guys cab keep wishing and hoping.

it would be cool if it did something new like aliens, space travel, or even time traveling to different points in history anything better than russun or arab terriost

bubblebeam4185d ago

I only agreed with your statement because it was funny. Whoever else agreed I hope did it for the same reason.

Because they are absolutely cheesy ideas lol.

It will come out. Remember them denying Black Ops 2? And taking down sites and their advertising because they spilled the beans?

Activision Might Have Unexpectedly Fixed Some Old Call of Duty Games’ Matchmaking

Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Blashted276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

I can confirm the Call of Duty 2 through Black Ops 2 are fully working now and matchmaking is very fast. Player counts are still messed up on MW2 but all other games work perfectly fine. BO1/2 community theater has been disabled so hackers are pretty rare now as infections cannot be distributed. I have not run into any modders on MW2 or BO1 yet. Good bit of people on WaW and MW3 as well. Call of Duty 3 is also back up and running after some years. The games are also currently on sale for around $10 a piece on the Xbox Store! Cheers and Happy Friday!

@Blash I took advantage of that deal and bought MW 2 , matchmaking is quick and it feels like 2009 all over again I’m having a blast !

Abear21275d ago

Next COD to integrate seamlessly with MW2, wonder if there’s a correlation?

“Activision Unexpectedly Fixes Old Call of Duty Servers, Just One Day After FTC Verdict”

Imagine that.

wiz7191275d ago

I think maybe MS had something to do with that , the servers getting fixed then all of the older CODs are on sale on the Xbox store ..

ritchi45277d ago

Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?

Wild theory

purple101277d ago

Yeh your in to something. See the bigger picture.

I also think to addd: Sony in a loose loose situation with the 10 year thing. I thought that from the start. Reason being they would technically be doing free marketing for COD. Any expose is good exposure and furthering the 'brand name'. So although sony would get profit for a while in the big picture they would be doing the dirty on themselves.

The Japanese execs obviously are not dumb and realise this too and that's why they fought so hard.

In general though this whole thing leaves a bad taste in the mouth with everyone's lies being out in the open and I think a lot will call it a day with cod. I know I've brought my last one.

slate91277d ago

Aint nobody leavin CoD bc of this merger or lawsuit brother 😂. Gotta get off twitter.

Blashted276d ago (Edited 276d ago )

Would not be surprised if MS fully restores old CoD on Xbox including patching mods and fixing player counts and lets PS3 versions rot away, nostalgia is a drug and Game Pass release of the old games pushes them to fix it as they would be the only Game Pass titles that are hacked/modded.

shinoff2183276d ago

I just can't fathom someone having nostalgia for cod. Blows my mind. So many better games out there

sertz275d ago

Nostalgia for COD is definitely a big thing. I have many a time found myself reminiscing about an older COD title that became a hacked mess. Primarily Black Ops 1 and 2. Also Modern Warfare 2. There was a certain "je ne sais quoi" about the original games that no remaster can touch. I'm so stoked the older titles have their servers fixed... I will definitely be re-living some memories from years ago that I never thought I would have again. And some new frustrations no doubt... But hey. One thing at a time.

shinoff2183276d ago

I don't think as many are gonna migrate as ms would like.

ActualWhiteMan276d ago

If this is true, I’m buying an Xbox rn.

wiz7191274d ago

Lol I see two ppl are upset , I got MW 2 for $10 and jump right into games immediately

Hopefully we get an extension for this downtime.

lol Typical Call of Duty being broken as ever.

zackeroniii1697d ago

oh yeah?

ever heard of battlefield?

yeah i thought so

Summons751697d ago

Your point? Call of Duty is constantly broken. Always the same trash every year. But nice bringing up something that is completely off topic because you can't admit the truth.

FPS_D3TH1697d ago

Haha one games problems apparently excuses another’s. Makes sense....

zackeroniii1697d ago (Edited 1697d ago )

@summons75

okay please tell me how cod has been broken cause the only thing i recall is ww2 with headquarters...so go on....

and mtx doesn't count as "broken"

KyRo1696d ago

Tbh battlefield had a million times more things going on that any COD game. COD had been pretty copy and paste up until now with MW which is a step in the right direction for COD.
