Adnan Riaz assesses why the Call of Duty series has been failing in recent years.
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.
Here is a look at the first two maps of Season 6 for Multiplayer.
La Casa involves intense action in a Vill and Koro Village is a battle in the streets where enemies lurk at all angles and shadows.
simple, because the old legendary IW is no longer developing the game
The magic of COD died the day they decided to develop MW2 for console first and then for PC.
Instead of developing a game with massive features and then reducing it so consoles can take it, they went the other way and quality overall took a hit.
BLOPS1 did a great job of comming back to at least some of the aspects that made MW1 a great game, but all in all the series just went downhill starting with MW2.
ready for mind blown?
COD ghosts squads....sounds cool right? up to 4 plyrs and their squads can play vs. AI horde mode.
Sound new to you? consider this....mw3 2plyr co-op killstreak reward - call in a squad for assistance.
don't be fooled people....GHOSTS is looking better than past cods to me; but woefully less exciting than BF4 or KZ.
A lot of smoke n mirrors coming from GHOSTS is all I'm saying.
Releasing a game a year was it's biggest mistake, as far as originality goes. However for all those who got bored, many more became hooked and Activision got rich.
