Is Modern Warfare 4 a Call Of Duty too far?

I think MW4 will be a reboot. The Modern Warfare trilogy kind of ended. It would be hard to continue. I see it being a new story which I welcome. COD may not be innovative but they do create a decent,fun to play story that is like an action film

MaverickStar74108d ago (Edited 4108d ago )

This is what I was thinking too. The modern warfare series would continue being the title for the current era themed games. I could see it bringing in new characters, or maybe be a side story to existing characters.

COD isn't going away anytime soon. Especially with the start of a new console generation.

EDIT: I was just thinking, how far would they go with MW numbers? I could see 5, but 6, 7, or 8? Probably not. I could see MW4 being the last MW game of this current console gen and then a new modern title starting on the next gen.

FarCryLover1824108d ago

That could be but I think they will drop it. The last COD numbered "4" was COD4.

I think "MW4" will keep the MW name but will probably use another subtitle.

For example: "Call of Duty Modern Warfare: Insurrection"

Something like that.

MaverickStar74108d ago

@farcry that does bring up a good point. I could see some people getting confused between Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4.

I could see your Insurrection example working for a side story or something. But then a subtitle to a subtitle seems too much.

When will they just start using years in COD titles?

Call of Duty '13, '14, etc

EddieNX 4108d ago

Unless they completely overhaul the Engine/Graphics and general feel of the series yes.

NastyLeftHook04108d ago

call of duty is fun but the last one i bought was modern warfare 2.

I would honestly feel fine buying new call of duty games if they priced them at $20.00 a pop. Brand new.

th3n00bg4m3r4108d ago

Don't you think that is too low? Call Of Duty games offer a lot in terms of replay-value. But the thing is they are poorly implemented.

NastyLeftHook04108d ago

well no i dont. if they re-use the same engine all of the time i think 20 bucks is fine.

jimbobwahey4108d ago

@tentonsoftube

Any sequel to any game is reusing the same engine. Why should they lower the price of COD games just because they reuse the engine, when every other developer out there does as well?

It's standard industry practice. Create engine, release game, slightly tweak/optimize engine, release game, slightly tweak/optimize engine, release game etc.

This is what the developers of COD and every single franchise do, so why is it only bad when COD games do it, but every other series gets a free pass?

th3n00bg4m3r4108d ago

Game Engines doesn't play a big role in making a game any better. If you clear your mind, you know that Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 is different than Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. I am not here to defend Call Of Duty[since I hate all of them], but facts are facts.

Call of Duty Players Disappointed by $80 B.E.A.S.T. Glove Bundle Deal

Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.

Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash

Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.

Gridknac12d ago

They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.

X-2311d ago

I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

Cheech And Chong Are Coming To Call Of Duty Because Everything Must Be Consumed

The famous comedy duo is the latest example of pop culture becoming one big grey blob

Christopher27d ago

Certain to have some sort of reference to their online store for CBD/THC chews, which is advertising heavily online the last month or two.

Sciurus_vulgaris27d ago

The randomness of the multiplayer characters is one of reason I quit playing COD after briefly returning in 2022. We got Space Marines, rappers, tree monsters etc. all in a series called “ Modern Warfare”.

OtterX26d ago (Edited 26d ago )

I think if there was ever a time for a competitor to rise up and take away some of Call of Duty's thunder, the time would be now. A military shooter that takes itself seriously, not sold out to Fortnitism. Easier said than done, I know... but the time is ripe.

I can't stand this stuff either.

Palitera26d ago

There are tons of MP shooters that make no profit, if you're looking for one of those

fsfsxii26d ago

You guys have been saying this shit since 2009. Fortunately, nobody’s bringing down cod anytime soon, if ever.

crazyCoconuts26d ago

I agree. I really didn't like how the silliness takes away the gritty origins. That and all the crazy effects... dunno. I'm still playing it but I'd love for someone to steal their cheese and cater to grittier players

OtterX26d ago

@fsfsxii It's not so much wanting COD itself to die as it is wanting this silliness to die. Like CrazyCoconuts said, it takes from the grittiness. Many OG COD players want a straightup Military shooter experience, not silly costume time at Carnival.

is this what the kids want these days a pair of iconic stoners who were big in the 70s and have kind of held on I enjoyed their movies decades ago but I never recall the movie where cheech infiltrates a enemy base while chong snipes for support guess I must of missed that one

Man I'm getting to old for this

Knightofelemia27d ago (Edited 27d ago )

Cheech just looks so wrong in the picture.

Profchaos26d ago

Why just why. cod up in smoke

anast26d ago

They charge too much for a game that is kitsch.

MW3 missed its easiest opportunity to give us some of the best Call of Duty maps ever made

From Bootleg to Black Box, Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 made a heartbreaking mistake by not remastering the bizarrely forgotten maps from its namesake.
