The venerable Call of Duty franchise continues the march of war with a change of scenery. No longer will players be arming themselves with M1 Garands, Lugers, and PPS42s. The war they will fight will not have been fought already once in the world and simulated in five thousand other games. No, those days are long behind us.
Instead, Infinity Ward places gamers in the shoes of a modern soldier, with all the tools of the trade. Weapons are deadlier, combat is more chaotic, and the graphics prettier and grittier. Despite that, there's this feeling of instantly recognizing the blood lines of the title. Everything you have always loved about Call of Duty is immediately present – the way your character moves, the weapon feel, the advantages and disadvantages to firing from the hip.
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
Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.
I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.
That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.
They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2
Seriously man we need games like
True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row
GTA can’t be the only option we need other games
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
I was lucky enough to get into the beta, and imo COD4's multi-player isn't that great. I have always enjoyed the SP of the COD series though. COD2 is still one of the most intense SP experiences I'v had in a FPS. Hopefully, COD4 will carry on the tradition.
... need a demo to hold me over till launch of this game.
I really really enjoyed the beta. The more you played the better it got IMHO.
COD2 is still a STAPLE in my games. And COD3, well, we will not talk about that !!
man it is looking good I played the beta and I can say I love the game but the grapics hurt my eyes on the x360 because like all the x360 games it doesn't have enough power to generate textures passed a certain distance of view with sharp details. but the pc sure can. and the small video of the c4 perks on ps3 make certain it can too, hopefully it plays as good as the x360 or I will be buying my first pc game!!!!
although i do have to say infinity ward has the best distance detail on x360 to date just still not enough to see guys on top of buildings etc without straining. I have a 1080p mitsu dlp so its not my tv it actually shows like a sore thumb on it.
I played the Beta on my friends 360, and to be honest, I wasn't impressed, unless they step it up drastically, and thats assuming the PS3 version is at least equal to the 360's, I'm not buying.
