MW4 follows the Modern Warfare reveals timeline

CarlosX360 writes: "Dan Amrich revealed on his YouTube channel that MW4 info is forthcoming. He brings up a good point: Reveals are usually in May. However, I offer my own investigation: It can also be in April, too. Although, it's up to Activision when the reveal will take place."

I do realize there's an article about Dan Amrich's "re-assurance" about MW4 info, but scroll down a little bit more. Make your interpretations then. Enjoy.

I'm honestly getting bored of fighting in modern settings. I want call of duty to go back to world war settings. I might not have said that when modern warfare 1 and mw 2 were released, but I'm saying it now simply because of the great lack of world war titles.

Majin-vegeta4437d ago

I actually prefer a Korean war setting.

Mosquito4436d ago

Soon you won't even need a game to experience that setting!

FITgamer4429d ago

Lol @Mosquito well done sir. There's a good chance you're right.

Commandar_Shepard4437d ago

I'm just bored of CoD games in general. The only refreshing thing about the franchise now is the player choice that was in the BO2 campaign, hopefully that will return. But they really need to update the graphics. It's undeniable that the once great looking franchise is now showing its age.

The multiplayer needs an overhaul. Maybe a level editor can be added to the next CoD title. And for the love of God, if you're gonna make a Vita title, put some effort into it or don't do one at all.

esemce4437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

The will never have a level editor, they will sell rip off map packs for as long as they make money.

They cant even give us free old maps or reduce to cost of these old maps by much.

Just looked today by chance and the call of duty
2 map pack is 800msp, FFS that was a XB360 launch title.

wishingW3L4437d ago

if they offer a level editor then what would be the point to the sequels then? They all are more or less like expansion packs.

Commandar_Shepard4437d ago

Look at Halo. Every major installment since 3 has offered a level editor and almost 6 years and two installments later, people are still finding new things to do with it.

Map packs would be maps for matchmaking as well as new levels to edit. That's how they'd still sell map packs. Treyarch map packs would sell on zombies alone.

Salooh4437d ago (Edited 4437d ago )

You forgot Skills. People in Heaven have different levels. Not all the same. That's why some people go further into knowing GOD and rewarded for doing that. If you applied that on any game you will get a special thing. People love zombies because it's challenging and mysterious. Same happened to cod4 multiplayer that's why we had a great experience from it. But when you look at the other cod games all people play the same way because if they play in different way it will make them lose. They made call of duty appealing to every one. That's the problem we have. It's too simple..

I hope it makes sense to you :) lol

I prefer futuristic warfare games or alien invasion shooters. Brings more dynamic gameplay elements.

Soldierone4437d ago

I'd actually be interested to see where that would go. With aliens and future, you have a much more dynamic environment to play with.

With WWII you have to work off stories, which are all basically the same. With modern combat, you basically pick a "realistic" enemy and "realistic" scenario or reason to go to war.

With the future, anything can happen. With aliens, they can be anything from human like, to creatures. The reason to go to war can be any numerous things. I mean in Killzone you are technically the bad guys since it was the ISA that pretty much started it all.

Soldierone4437d ago

This is what happened last generation. They hit it off with WWII games, and suddenly every developer in the world with access to an FPS engine was making WWII titles.

This generation was modern warfare.

cant wait for a next gen modern warfare

FarCryLover1824437d ago

Put in MW3 and you can see how MW4 plays.

ACESupERIC4437d ago

They should release a multiplayer only with every map, gun, perk, attachment, and killstreak (scorestreak) in one box. Then close this chapter of cod and start a new one. Maybe then people will find another good series to bash on.

jay24437d ago

Buy decent games no generic jokes like COD....

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 4 Is Allegedly Current-Gen Only, Developed On Next-Gen Xbox Dev Kits

The next entry in Microsoft and Activision's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 will allegedly be a current-gen only release.

Lightning77100d ago

They finally figured out how to move more ppl over to the current gen. Took them long enough it's obvious to everyone, force these ppl to upgrade to a current console not meet them where they are.

This news broke late last week. This leak suggest 26 which has been rumored before. It's possible it could be 27.

Flawlessmic99d ago

well not really if you read the article, its stating that this is due to release with new xbox hardware which means they will be again catering to the previous gen right up until the next one launches to last replace it as previous gen. in saying that though cod games dont do anything special so probably fine to cater to older consoles as dont think theyd be doing much to warrant or take advanatge of the new consoles fully

ZycoFox99d ago

So Switch 2 ain't even gonna get 2 years on the market before it's outpaced by an even bigger margin than it already will be..

Embarrassing for Nintendo, though I am still interested if they bring the right games and content.

As for COD, don't care for it.

Tacoboto99d ago

Nintendo doesn't care, Tailz

VersusDMC99d ago

"Lastly, the most interesting detail shared by the insider was that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 is being developed on dev kits for the next Xbox console. Both the game and console are rumored for launch in Fall 2026"

Sounds like it is next gen only...but won't really be, because didn't they sign a contract to put COD on Nintendo consoles with feature parity for 10 years? It will always be cros gen because of that.

And people complaining about next gen being 2027/2028, let's see their thoughts on xbox starting it in 2026...

IRetrouk99d ago (Edited 99d ago )

No way a next gen xbox launches next year, the chip would have leaked already, look how early people found the ps5/xbox chips, the pro chip, the switch 2 chip.....

RupeeHoarder99d ago

I would not be shocked to see a new Xbox holiday 2026. They know Sony is launching end of 2027, this would essentially be their hail mary for what many seem to believe is their final console

IRetrouk99d ago

I dont think we are gonna see a ps6 in 2027 either, its all just rumors started to keep the clicks coming.

BehindTheRows99d ago

Right. PS5 Pro is the halfway point, and going by the PS4 Pro, that would put PS6 out during Holiday 2028.

As for the next Xbox? Who knows. We don’t even know if it’ll be a traditional console, handheld, etc. All up in the air.

PhillyDonJawn99d ago

It's already been semi confirmed. Xbox next gen is 2026. Phil also hinted at it a long time ago.

IRetrouk99d ago

I admire your faith in phils words.

Neonridr99d ago

the people complaining about next gen in 2027 just dropped $700 on a mid-gen refresh that so far has been proven to be very underwhelming (myself included)

RupeeHoarder99d ago

I mean you’re getting 3 years at minimum out of a PS5 Pro if it drops end of 2027, I think that’s quite reasonable, especially given most people are trading up for $300

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!

Blashted699d ago (Edited 699d 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!

wiz7191698d ago

@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 !

Abear21698d 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.

wiz7191698d 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 ..

ritchi45701d 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

purple101701d 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.

slate91700d ago

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

Blashted699d ago (Edited 699d 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.

shinoff2183699d ago

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

sertz699d 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.

shinoff2183699d ago

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

ActualWhiteMan699d ago

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

wiz7191698d ago

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

oh yeah?

ever heard of battlefield?

yeah i thought so

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.

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

@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"

KyRo2119d 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.
