It looks like the the IW crew has been playing 64 player matches around the office for PC version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. This means COD4: MW for the PC may, and probably will, support up to 64 players online! The player cap on the PC was previously thought to be only 32 players. This means PC players will have the capability of playing in 32v32 player matches, along with support for Punkbuster, online. Infinity Ward better have a dedicated server application or else this could turn messy.
Everything you need to know about Modern Warfare III coming to Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass.
Will be interesting to see what sort of numbers GP users draw in come tomorrow. It is believed that this is one many have been waiting for.
Darth,
That is not accurate; this game is old, and most people who want it have already bought it. You might get a small number of subs, but we will mostly see a good influx of players(not new subs) from people with Game Pass who will try it, which is what happened with D4.
CoD: BO 6 will be the test for actual sub numbers.
That's fair... seeing as many have been saying they want CoD in GP. My comment was more of , now that its here... what can it do. Im sure there will be other titles in the franchise that will either entice or turn off different users.
No one's buying a console and signing up for a monthly bill just to get this game to avoid buying it. That's ridiculous. Besides everyone bagged the crap out of this on release for the 4 hour campaign.
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.
great news for pc gamers!
That's damn huge!
How many player's will ther be online for the console ?
Call of Duty 2 on the PC can do 64 players. I play on a 64 players server all the time and PC games have been doing 64 players games since Quake 2, Tribes, Counterstrike, BF2. You name it.
Since Xbox Live doesn't support dedicated servers the console version can only do 16 players. Maybe the PS3 version can do 32 players with dedicated servers.
This reason and mods is why I will be buying CoD 4 for my PC, the console version is just too inferior.
There must be some massive maps we haven't seen yet.
64 player is great for a feeling of being in a real war. i.e panic
but 16 player is better for holding a grudge.
PC owners will get the best of both.
Just a shame i will need to upgrade my PC to play this.
