Greedy Raven writes, "Not every blockbuster this season deserves the spotlight. Call of Duty: World at War is a sheep in wolf's clothing. Taking the good name that Infinity Ward built with Call of Duty 1, 2 and 4, Activision enjoys exploiting gamers by letting Treyarch play around with Infinity Ward's brand..."
Everything you need to know about Modern Warfare III coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
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.
I'm happy it uses the COD4 Engine, but you're right in that there is zero innovation here. And personally I was bummed ever since they announced another rehash into WWII. Just really tired of the genre.
Tired of WWII why go back to it...
There are plenty of new things in this game to give it a shot. I'm glad you are an Infinity Ward fanboy("Were this game given any other name, I might give it a fair chance.,") but, that gives me no reason not to play this game. Yes, its WWII but there is a differnt settting and the battles are fierce and gruesome. Gamers have no qualms about playing the same old survivor/horror genre over and over. You dont want to play this game because Treyarch created it? Well be sure not to play Dead Rising 2 because Blue Castle took the helm and not Capcom. If its a good game- it's a good game.
I will never understand the hype for this game. First off the makers of CoD3 suck and secondly - WWII? zzzzzzzzzzz
The history of this whole deal is what makes it different. they ruined COD3 and did nothing but ride Infinity wards success and they are doing the same thing this time. Activition lets Infinity ward build a great game engine and a blockbuster title and then they stab them in the back and hand the engine to treyarch and say here u go they did the hard work now u guys can reskin it and make some new levels/weapons and we will sell the crap out of this.
im going to play this game for the experience but i will not be buying it.
