Eskimo Press: "Nearly everybody that I have talked to is extremely angry at Activision; they feel betrayed and cheated because they are forcing you to buy Infinite Warfare so that you can get Modern Warfare remaster. I’ve honestly tried to join the fist-shaking trend, but I just can’t get mad."
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?
I am not paying £60+ for a remaster of MW, despite how good the game was! Look at Infinity Wards history, MW1+2 - absolutely fantastic. Jason West and Vince Zampella were fired pre-MW3, MW3 came out still carrying some of the weight of the previous ones (probably did have some influence from those two) but it didn't hit the spot as well as the previous games. Their next game Ghosts was a complete shambles, granted it was a fresh game to next gen but it was still terrible compared to previous games.
Now we have Infinite Warfare, going by the track record it could bomb even more - it could also be amazing, but I really wouldn't put money on that. They also announce MW remaster but only with the deluxe version of their game, a smart but really slimy move. You know, I wouldn't be that bummed out if they threw it in with every copy, you could at least then pick up a cheap standard copy just for the remaster and it wouldn't seem too unreasonable. But to throw it in with the higher priced copy is just a joke.
I really do hope this actually puts people off buying it, or at the very least pre-ordering. I'm definitely waiting for the reviews to hit with this one.
That's a stupid analogy.
Your article is bad and you should feel bad
Except there are rumours that cod 4 will be tied to the infinite warfare disc. So no disc in the drive and cod 4 won't work.
il get it one way or another
