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.
Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.
Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.
The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.
In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.
Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."
"Feminist Whore" lmao
ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.
its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.
ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.
They're not offensive.
And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!
Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.

COD4 looks like it's about to take everything again, with a possible bioshock upset
Its all about Bioshock, and Mass Effect. COD4 is cool... like the graphics and the new "modern" thing going on (its always about some evil Russian guy isn't it), but yeah... Bioshock has totally redefined a FPS and Mass Effect looks to redefine how far a video game story can go.
ok i have to say it
Only 1 system u can play all the best of show games XBOX!
Give me a break nobody had even heard of this site until today, trust me Heavenly Sword, LAIR, Uncharted, Ratchet and clank, LBP, WarHawk, Unreal Tournament, GT5 Prologue, SOCOM and Haze all appeal to me much more than any xbox game this holiday season... did i miss anything the list is long? :)
Many sites agree that Call of Duty 4 took E3 this year. Easily the best looking FPS to date. And the 360 is the lead platform so expect huge improvements on the 360.
Oh yes...the power of the 360! :)
