The Best Buy product description says about IW multiplayer :

Call of Duty Infinite Warfare will incorporate the popular chain-based movement system.

Maps are designed to further leverage the chain-based movement system and immerse players into fast, fun and frantic gameplay that players have come to expect from Call of Duty.

Welp, the minute I finish IW's campaign it's being traded in, won't even bother loading the multiplayer. Especially not when COD4R has multiplayer.

im still hyped for space but this time i wont jump in day one, i still havent played BlOps 3 outside of a couple of matches (way too many games and time consuming at that)

 

[Jessie.Bristol]

So I'm on Amazon and it's not giving me the option of preordering the Legacy Edition for PC. Does this mean PC won't get the MW Remaster then? Or maybe just hasn't been announced for PC yet?

I can guarantee that it will release on PC as well since the Remaster destroys the original PC versions visuals.

All that saying generic and uninteresting seems be a all because of Nostalgia, now if you said you no trust IW, then I would get you. That said, not a IW fan so I shall wait and see.

In a field of futuristic shooters stretching back to 2012, a relatively low key and modern setting is a breath of fresh air.

Also..it seems this got the Halo anniversary treatment, with the assets staying much more faithful to the source material.

I LOVE IT!

 

[GustyGardens]

And no one seems to give a shit. All everyone wants is Cod4 again and several people are saying how exciting CoD4 looks because it's modern military and how boring IW looks because it's spaceships and colonies.

People said this with Black Ops III, too. That game sold amazingly well, and still has a healthy group of players in multiplayer. At some point, no one seems to give a shit really means that you don't give a shit. That's fine, not every game should be for everyone, but let's be real.

 

[Nirolak]

Nice PC screens! I like the materials on the suit and glass visor.


I bought COD 1, COD: UO COD 2 and COD 4.

I honestly at the end of the day liked COD UO more than all the other games although COD 4 was the second best. Have not purchased one since because seeing it so horribly annualised immediately soured my brain more so than the repetitive gameplay almost.

Right, I think the audience *before* CoD4 is also a good fit for it.

 

[im_dany]

That crossfire screen.. oh god

 

[Armadilo]

Which when you think about it is hilarious. Activision could sell more copies of a remaster than a brand new CoD for less money than it costs to develop the new game, and they don't want to do that? Okay then. Money on the table.

$60 new COD plus $50 Season Pass = more $$$ then a cheap Remastered game

 

[RedSwirl]

Ultimate proof that had Activision and IW never made another COD after MW1, and just kept releasing content for MW1... people will still be happily playing it. Shit, many are. Main reason Activision is even doing this is probably to get those people to upgrade.

 

[MatrixMan.EXE]

Generic is starting to become one of my most disliked words. It's used to incorrectly on GAF it's unbelievable.

How can you call Infinite War generic looking, then praise MW in the same breath? IW objectively has more artistic creativity in due to the simple fact it's not relying on a bog standard 21st century modern setting.

Looking forward to both. I missed out on the COD4 craze back in school. Was too busy playing DMC4 and Folklore while MW fever swept my school. But I'm ready this time. Let's see what the fuss is about.

On a side note, is Titanfall 2 meant to come out this year too? BF5, CODIW/MWR, Destiny expansion and Titanfall 2 seems like shooter overkill.

 

[LumpOfCole]

I feel like it almost looks like Chris Pine.

Chris Pine and Luke Wilson's manbaby perhaps.

Man, I hate CoD's MP these days. It's so batshit insane and random that it isn't even fun anymore.

I really hope they release MW remaster separate. Otherwise I'm concerned the MP community will never be there for it.

 

[Colonel Nasty]

Buying and trading in IW just the play MW again.

 

[Falk]

That crossfire screen.. oh god

It's from the campaign. Which actually lends to yet another amazing point for COD4 - a lot of the MP maps are repurposed single player areas, but they work so extremely well.

 

[SDCowboy]

Isn't there a press conference today?

 

[Freezasaurus]

I haven't picked up a CoD game in years, but I'm loving the sci-fi theme here. This may tempt me back.

Same, I'll give IW MP a few rounds before fully deciding, but at the moment I'm really disappointed with the idea.

WTF!? I always thought it was the other way around! That the MP maps were put into the campaign!

I'll just take the weekend that it comes out to blaze through it and trade it in. I should get at least $40 for it. With GCU only paying $64 for the Legacy Edition I make out pretty good.

Hahaha they can fuck right off with this. Guess I'll trade it in after campaign and MW.

I really thought IW would pull through this year...

 

[WhiskerFrisker]

Man I wish MW2 also got a remaster like COD 4. Day one regardless.

 

[RealityCheque]

Release MW on its own, let it be embraced by all and sundry, then simply build on it as a platform. New and remade maps, some non-shitty micro DLC and you've got something people want and will continue to play for years. It'd be a hell of an earner with relatively little cost to maintain.

Stop making us buy Infinite if we don't want it. If its a good game, it can stand on it's own two feet. The bundling makes me think that Activision don't have confidence in it and basically need MW1 as stunt-casting.

Also, this virtually assures IW is going to be one of the most traded-in games of all time. Tons of people will buy it, redeem the code for MW and trade it right back without even leaving the store.

I think part of the criticism (though generic is reductive) is that COD4 can get away with it because it is targeting a certain realm of reality. Imagination is not required because these things exist in reality and what people want is the best approximation of that.

IW on the other hand looks like they take the formula of today and futurize it, but not really investing in the kinds of world building and scenarios that are interesting or (in lieu of that) even outlandish. Sci-Fi realism only works if you're committed to it, where the devil is in the details and nuance, which isn't something modern COD has typically dealt with.

I can't see it happening. Think of how many people are going to buy the new COD just for, or primarily for, MWR.

 

[Kalentan]

They're releasing MW:R to basically shut up people who want the old ways. They're telling them that if they want that, they can just play endlessly MW:R.

 

[MMarston]

IW looks like another generic future shooter,

MW:R is the real star of this show

I mean, I'm not interested in IW that much either, but - though COD4 is still great - comparing it to the modern warfare shooter that we've seen an exponential times in the years since then is head-scratching.

 

[ktroopa]

Damn MW:R looks da shit. I want this now...

 

[The Last Wizard]

The Legacy Pro Edition seems to be only at gamestop

Just noticed this, but it's actually cheaper to go legacy on Amazon with the discount and just grab the season pass online if you want the pass.

 

[GavinUK86]

Just booted up my PC copy of MW to try to compare 'em. Not sure if that other comparison was console footage of the original MW.

 

[NastyBook]

Legit. Shook.

 

[BLUElightCory]

The Infinite Warfare environments look like they were taken straight from Titanfall.

 

[LumpOfCole]

A younger Lord Hood from Halo!?

Also.....good MW remaster shots

Maybe I'm the only one that sees it.

I need MW remastered.

My most anticipated game for the rest of this year now.

 

[mreddie]

Is it true they aren't selling MW1 Remastered separate? They are making you buy IW Legacy to get it?

 

[Bold One]

Still waiting on that BC2 remaster, DICE

 

[garyizraw]

Well the remaster looks better than the brand new game, take away the spaceship and the trailer would have seriously put me to sleep

I think you need to go to specsavers.

Infinite Warfare looks amazing. I hope it has a decent campaign.

 

[Respawn]

look like? They are...

 

[Portugeezer]

It's actually almost an accomplishment how generic and uninteresting they managed to make this man look.

Looks like a human. Don't know what you expected.

 

[ktroopa]

I agree completely, more excited with the remaster. IW failed to get any rise out of me. Simply dull imo. Looks like you fight robots too, weeee looks like fun :S

 

[ShadowSwordmaster]

So is NeoGAF.

 

[Kalentan]

We all know that they should have given him TWO eyepatches. Lot less generic.

 

[iNvid02]

Is it true they aren't selling MW1 Remastered separate? They are making you buy IW Legacy to get it?

i dunno but theres a few ways it could play out

1. they hold cod4 remastered hostage with infinite warfare's launch for a short while, piss people off and encourage buying and reselling the latter just so people can play cod4.
2. they price cod4 remastered standalone at $60 to make the 80 legacy look like a good deal, again piss people off but it wouldnt matter as much, if you want it buy it
3. best case is cod4 standalone is $40 and available to buy separately day one

sad that you gotta label something reasonable as 'best case scenario'

 

[Verder]

Looking hot .

Day 0 for the remaster

 

[bidguy]

fuuuuck i dont want IW but i really want to replay MW with the new visuals....

 

[Respawn]

Co-op mode....*faints
