One of the most highly anticipated video games of 2007, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, decided to keep gamers happy and release an exclusive multiplayer beta over Xbox Live. Most fans of the series are more than just a little excited to see the series go away from the WWII remakes and into the universe of modern combat.
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?
Level 20 would be nice.
why get this when they are probably already making COD5?
I think that Infinity Ward has made the multiplayer in COD4 in a way that is near perfect. The controls feel really good, the multiplayer is balanced (unless you suck at it), the customization of skill sets is awesome, the maps look great and are set up nicely, and the game has the same type of party system that Halo 2 has (the one that doesn't kick you and your friends out of the party once the match is done).
CoD4 is a must buy for sure. Also I'm assuming that Infinity Ward has done a stellar job with the single player (like always).
same old fps
...is brilliant. The graphics, sounds and feel of the weapons through the force feedback is excellent. I have not had this much fun playing on-line since COD2. The new game types and rewards system are excellent.
I have to admit that I am now looking forward to COD4 more than I am to Halo 3.
My Ratings:
Graphics - 9.5/10
Sound - 9/10
Fun Factor - 10/10
Will I buy this? HELL YES!!!!!
