"As any CoD4 player worth his or her weight in bullets knows, the map-pack was released last week. With it came several new playlists that allowed owners of the pack to play the new maps exclusively without bothering with the old maps. That was great and welcome. Unfortunately, now, Infinity Ward has decided to remove the new playlists, adding the new maps to the original playlist rotation.
This means that if you want to play the new maps then you're going to have to get lucky and hope it loads up on your next round. This is a lame decision on IW's part." writes Chris Jensen.
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.
...sucks balls. It's bad enough that they have the worst online lobby and matchmaking for any FPS available; this just plain stinks. For those that didn't get the maps in the first week, they'll pay $10 for maps they may NEVER get to play, unless they only do private matches. Oh well, Vegas rules once again, just like it did in '07. :o
Vegas sucks balls. I use my copy as a cup coaster.
I still get to see Broadcast and Chinatown every now and then. I haven't played Creek much at all lately.
before they release the map-pack on PSN.
That's lame. That pretty much limits the amount of games that a person who refused to pay $10 for 4 maps would be able to get into.
