We'll give you fair warning, we discuss the end of the game and the fates of certain characters so plot spoilers abound."
Everything you need to know about Modern Warfare III coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.
Darth,
That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.
CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.
That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.
No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.
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.
"They'd never handled that much load at once and at any given time we had over 100,000 players playing on PS3."
That's great to hear :) I've always thought 50,000 Max on PS3 but WOW! Guess I was wrong.
Hmmm... I wonder if Socom Confrontation can beat that? ;)
Since when did Tomshardware become a videogame review site? They went from respectable (for the most part) computer hardware review site to a gamer's site? Most interesting indeed.
Actually, if you check the leaderboards, you can see ppl ranked as 'low' as 500k +
So yeah, many ppl got CoD4 on PS3, and many took it online ;)
Will really have to wow me. I've seen some video of confrontation and it does look good. I hope they include escort, and all the other classic objectives that made socom great. No quick sniping ho. COD4 for the meantime is tighter than a knats ass, the ranking system is a #1, the gameplay is real and it just dominates all other combat sims.
