Although this holiday season has certainly been full of monumental releases, one of the year's most memorable days was one in which not a single game came out. In late August, gamers everywhere finally got their taste of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, one of the most anticipated titles of 2007. We had very high expectations (given the previous track record of developer Infinity Ward) and the multiplayer beta that was made available to the public made them that much loftier. Thankfully the beta ended before everyone got tired of playing on the same three maps, but teamxbox couldn't help wondering how much more we'd be getting in the finished game.
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?
MS server was down so they where forced to play the PS3 version. And coming from xbox boys saying that the game looks identical is a relief as everyone should be able to enjoy this great game without any gimped versions floating around.
has to get that bit about x box
Cause he works for them Bla bla
This game will be alot better with the ps3
God sake if a ps3 preview site said stick to the xbox
well.............
I am getting this for ps3 full stop
Wait for the reviews and VS screens will see who is the winner
PS3 FTW
nuff said
Why would there be a winner period? Both systems are getting a AAA release I believe on the same date and both will have online play. I mean this is a win/win situation for both systems! No need to compare here folks.
"Thankfully the beta ended before everyone got tired of playing on the same three maps"
Yeah I actually was getting bored. I feel bad for all the Warhawk players with their 5 maps. I hear Warhawk popularity has already died of boredom.
/\ The Cell... Great argument there killer, lolol. You can't type, you can't use proper grammar and yet you expect someone to take you seriously? Right, right!
Both versions will obviously have a little bit of difference but both will be damn good LOOKING and PLAYING games. The reviews are rolling in and all are very, very positive. No need to have an argument when there isn't anything to argue. Some PS3 fans are loco man...
