The PS3 Call of Duty 4 Variety Map Pack is taking longer than expected, Infinity Ward has said, but is well on its way to moving through Sony certification.
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?
THey weren't going to have any content during those 2 weeks. and this thursday it will be up. at least on the US PSN Store.
As a PS3 owner, I am used to waiting!!!
To those who disagree...you are right, I still want everything now!
any word on the rumble patch for cod4???
im not real sure if im going to get these maps. Im getting the Warhawk map and im also getting GT5 and GTA4 this month. COD is going to have to wait....for me atleast
It would be nice if these ppl seen they have made a ton of money and they would just give us a free map. I know thats wishful thinking but for games like Halo and COD the sales alone mean you have made your money back 10fold
They are probably holding them back so the new Warhawk maps and GT5 don't have to compete with them for our dollars.
