Unfortunately, PlayStation 3 owners will have to wait an additional three weeks before the new content is available for download. If you own an Xbox 360, you can download the four new maps and join the variety pack playlists that are set aside especially for those craving new content. The new map packs award you with double XP per kill, so those needing a score boost into or beyond prestige mode should definitely take advantage. For now, let's take a look at what 800 MS points (or $10 US) nets you.
Each map is pretty huge, and will take a while for players to learn the nuances of each new map. It is obvious that Infinity Ward put a lot of time and effort into balancing each map. The results are maps that are of the high caliber you would expect from a quality development studio. If you are a serious Call of Duty fan, this downloadable content is easily a steal at only 800 points."
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?
Game today, not tomorrow, or the day after, or the week after...
Not that I dont want the new maps, but with games like GTA4 , GTP, coming this month, I dont see me playing COD4 the way that I usually did. Also, I heart that live isnt running well cause of the pack.
