In Neogaf, the latest OXM details are in aswell as scores but the most controversial highlight of the news is that the highly anticipated Call of Duty 4 will have a campaign mode of only "5-6 hours" long.
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?
Disappointing to say the least. Although the Multiplayer sounds amazing, I have always come to relate Call of Duty with a fantastic single player experience that really immerses the gamer. 5-6hours will do nothing to convince people to part with their cash considering that it'll be an expensive November anyway.
Good thing the multiplayer will be great. Oh wait, halo 3 has a rightful place in my 360 disc tray atm. Sorry CoD, you'll never see the inside of my Xbox =(
It was the same thing with Heavenly Sword, and now I have to admit that that was a real problem with that game. It was over before you could really sink your teeth into it. An Epic can't be that short.
Developers need to stop doing this, people pay $60 for games now. What the hell makes them think they can get away with 5 hours long? A game should be atleast 15 hours long.
I wont get it then. We still dont have good internet connections in Lebanon. I was going to get it because of the single player. If this is true, im out.
that cant be right, cod2 and 3 were at least 10 hours
