With the Call of Duty Modern Warfare II releasing soon, FPS Champion created a list of what fans need to stay the same and what they want to be changed in the sequel.
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?
Good list. Kudos.
+1
I just want to see the intervention again with its original sound lol. Can't wait for the campaign if the mp doesn't do it for me at least.
Good list. I would add that they need to completely separate MW2 from the other games and warzone. Like I literally don’t want to see anything other than the game I want to play get installed. With the way they have been doing things we will have:
MW1, MW2, Cold War, Vanguard and Warzone all on the same application. Which is completely ridiculous.
Good list, please, for the love of anything that is holy, fix your file sizes & content delivery system.
I should not have to re-download GBs of data just because the game decided to delete it, or even worse that I don’t have it when I clearly do, even more worse this affecting the SP campaign where I end up having to re-download the files if I have the arrogance of feeling like I want to revisit it…
What a great idea, this would be fantastic!
"11. Dynamic Maps with Weather and Night/Day Cycles
This is something that Call of Duty never dared to explore. It would help make the maps feel less repetitive. Having a weather system that sometimes is cloudy, other times is a little rainy and others sunny will be amazing and refreshing for the franchise."
