$39.99 lol. Not worth it. Especially considering they ruined the balance the original game had. Also I'm sure that price also doesn't include the paid DLC map pack.

The7Reaper2568d ago (Edited 2568d ago )

Lol you can get the IW/MWR one for $40 maybe even less

FITgamer2568d ago

I got it for $35 on ebay like 3 months ago.

mikeslemonade2567d ago

Ehhhh it's my top game of last gen but it doesn't hold up.

2pacalypsenow2568d ago

Is it just me or did the quickscoping get worse than the original, they have auto aim with snipers lol

lnfiniteLoop2567d ago

well quickscoping should be easier... they used the newer game engine which allows even easier quickscoping and cheating for the little kiddies... same goes for the over powered pistols that can kill at long range...

For those who have yet to get it.its not worth it.Its not as nostalgic as you remember it's utter trash balanced ruin and everything

0Day2568d ago

That's a lie. It's fantastic. I've been playing it since release. Worth every cent of the $70 I paid for the 2 games.

Krysis2567d ago

No not a lie, that's called an opinion. And I'm really gonna take the word of someone who doesn't know the difference.

spicelicka2567d ago

It's great to play, but definitely not worth $70 or $40 standalone, which is the general consensus. Maybe worth it to you but that's not how you gauge the right price. Some people would've paid $200 for it, that doesn't make it worth $200.

Mroc132567d ago

Man I was so disappointed when I played this. Honestly I think my reflexes have gotten worse as well though. I'm an old Clint Eastwood now lol

OldGuyStillGaming2568d ago

So it's valued at $20 when bundled with Infinite warfare
But buying it separate is $40?
Who the hell would be that stupid to buy it at $40?
Activision can F*** off with this BS!

rando 2568d ago

@ brokasfawk: i'd buy it for $40... i'd pay more just so I don't have to download Infinite Warfare & infect my hard-drive with that trash game lol

Skankinruby2568d ago

The only thing that's infected is the embarrassing idiots in the COD community, not unlike yourself

@ Cupofjoe:
--- "Infinite warfare has one best camains yet your just half witted follower"

no, i'm just bored to tears with Call of Duty. if you've played one, you've played them all.

its the same gameplay, brainless left-trigger right-trigger aim assist that snaps right onto an enemy for you...

tacked-on, molasses slow wall-running mechanics

too many gun variants makes it extremely unbalanced.

weapons you can only get in supply drops

everything is neon & rainbow colored... it looks like a kids game & it looks old & played out. even the trailer music is garbage... no thanks.

The MP in IW does suck but the campaign is great IW is worth at least a rental just for the campaign

It's called bulk discount, look it up you retard.

i don't play COD & am not part of the Call of Duty community... but it seems like you are, your name-calling & toxic personality definitely fits the bill of a typical COD fan.

--- "It's called bulk discount, look it up you retard."

its called i dont have the hard-drive space to download an extra 80 GB of a game i'm not going to play.
i'm sorry you got butthurt that i won't play your favorite game, but Infinite Warfare is trash... deal with it.

spicelicka2567d ago (Edited 2567d ago )

$40 for MW Remaster then COD WW2 releases, wouldn't be surprised if that came bundled with MW2 remaster. Then there's Destiny 2 which will have $40 restrictive expansions for years to come, that you'll need to buy to keep playing. Ubisoft gets a lot of criticism but Activision is the cow's nipple of the industry. .

rando 2567d ago

@ spicelicka: nah. COD WW2 will do well... they'll save MW2 remastered for the next Infinity Ward game, since all their best talent left after MW2 to make Titanfall, Infinity Ward games are the worst & sell the least (Ghosts, Infinite Warfare etc) MW2 remastered will come out 3 years from now with the next Infinity Ward game.

DefenderOfDoom22568d ago

I never played COD MW campaign . Is it any good ?

Majin-vegeta2568d ago

Last good campaign of a COD game.

rando 2568d ago

@ Majin-vegeta: last good one? probably not. the best one? probably... Advanced Warfare had a pretty good campaign. I hear Infinite Warfare's campaign was pretty good as well. its just that most people just hated on AW & IW so much they never played those campaigns.

FITgamer2568d ago

TBH most of the COD games have decent campaigns. Infinite Warfare's campaign is actually fun. The MP just sucks.

franwex2568d ago

Yeah it its actually. It's considered their best work even today.

RioKing2568d ago (Edited 2568d ago )

Its the best part IMO. Very good

Asuka2568d ago

at the time CoD4's campaign was amazing. cinematic, gritty, and there is a sniper mission that is probably the best mission i have ever played in a CoD game. However, compared to today's offerings it isn't anything mindblowing, almost generic, so i would keep expectation in check...of course that's just my 2 cents =p

skycaptin52568d ago

It's really great, well developed story and balance of action in a realistic setting. I honestly suggest checking out the whole trilogy as they tie together nicely

Antarius7172568d ago

The campaign is stunning. One of the best single player campaigns of any in that genre.

The Worst Video Game Remakes Of All Time

BLG writes: "You take a big risk when you set out to remake something. Have you stayed true to the original? Have you made any worthwhile contributions of your own? Did you make sure that all the characters are wearing the right color hats? It’s a tricky thing to get right, and sometimes, it goes horribly wrong, hence the following list. These are the worst video game remakes of all time."

Remake or Remaster? I think the writer doesn't know the different between remake and remaster

MadLad763d ago (Edited 763d ago )

They just found bad rereleases and lumped everything altogether.
As someone who knows what it was like to write for nothing sites before I started shaking hands with the bigger sites, even the small sites barely paying anything in the name of "helping build you a portfolio" there were always weekly quotas you had to make in terms of articles, despite the fact they were barely paying you at all.

I'm guessing things are no different, being written articles are even more dead than when I was doing it.

0hMyGandhi764d ago

I know that the Silent Hill HD "remaster" isn't the biggest offender on this list, but because I hold those games so dearly to my heart, the horrific end-product by an indifferent studio felt like a personal attack on some of the greatest "gaming years" of my life.

Yui_Suzumiya763d ago

Runs fine on my PS3 with no issues.

porkChop764d ago

Why are there remasters on a list of remakes?

Knightofelemia764d ago

The SH HD Remaster I enjoyed I also had fun trophy hunting it for PS3. I know it has it's quirks that fans hate but I paid $30 for it on Ebay. The PS2 port is fetching around $150 so I saved myself $120 Canadian going the PS3 route I will grab SH3 on PS2 sometime. But I enjoyed the game specially since I have never played SH3 before SH2 I got free with a $10 Xbox I bought.

autobotdan764d ago (Edited 764d ago )

To the end of the earth all the way till eternity people will still get confused about REMASTER and REMAKE. Like episodes of the Twilight Zone. Forever and ever with no end

VersusDMC763d ago

It's INSANE!!

It's like they think a new 4k version of Oldboy is the same as the American remake.

I use the movie example because i assume most videogame journalists don't like videogames and just took a job they could get...

Should Lovers of Modern Warfare Buy Black Ops: Cold War?

KeenGamer: "Fear not, Modern Warfare players, for this little article will give you all the information you need to decide whether to stay put, or make the next step in your FPS journey. The new Call of Duty game is finally here, but if you're still enjoying the series' previous instalment, you might be asking yourself one simple question. 'Should I buy Black Ops Cold War?'"

Nobody should be buying Cold War yet it is the best selling CoD.

I have a huge problem when you cannot get the nextgen version of the game by buying the standard version. Even if you own a nextgen console. The only way to get the nextgen version is through deluxe and higher versions.

This is a complete rip-off and money grab. If you buy the standard version and you own a nextgen console you are getting a gimped product for your console.

Let's Give Activision a Bit of Credit, Yeah?

It’s a truth universally acknowledged, that a Real Gamer™ must hate major publishers. None of the big boys escape criticism, whether it’s Ubisoft for its perceived approach to copy-and-paste game design or EA for, well, absolutely everything, really. Activision has oft been a dirty word in enthusiast circles, presumably because it insists on releasing wildly popular Call of Duty titles every year, but while other companies have had a dire generation, let’s give Bobby Kotick and his underlings a morsel of credit for some of its extracurricular activities recently.

The reality is that even if you think first-person shooters will give you cooties, Activision has done a wonderful job resurrecting some of its older brands. All the talk at the start of the generation revolved around whether Sony could wrench the Crash Bandicoot franchise out of the publisher’s cold hard grasp; the discussion was partly fuelled by outright fandom, but also because no one truly believed that the American publisher could do the mischievous marsupial justice in this day and age.

You should define what a real gamer is you ask anybody what a real gamer is and the definition will be different. A real gamer in my definition does not care about console wars, and is in it for the feel of the game the enjoyment of the game relating to the characters and story of the game and says wow this is a great game. As a customer I hate EA I hate their business practices I hate how they close down good studios I hate how they litter a game with loot boxes and microtransactions I will not support EA. Activision releasing older titles as remakes is nothing new other companies have done it I like Spyro and Crash but I will not buy them day one I wait until they are cheap then I buy them. As a customer I just don't like Activision either I like Namco,Sega,Insomniac,Epic,Naug hty Dog,Santa Monica,Ubisoft,Quantic Dream,Banpresto,Gust,KOEI Tecmo, and SquareEnix. Again as for Nintendo's Disney approach to the new Mario collection releasing it as a limited number run both digital and physical then throwing it back into the vault is a dumb idea. I want the Mario collection just for Galaxy and Sunshine but as a customer especially if I am buying said limited number run game I expect Mario 64 to be cleaned up looks wise and have it polished. If modders have been doing it for years then why the hell can't Nintendo do it even Disney when they take a movie out of the vault for a limited time even polishes up their old cartoon movies. If Nintendo keeps going down the Disney route with limited time run then goes back into the vault it will eventually kick them in the ass.

monkey6021342d ago

Activision laid off hundreds of employees to save costs in the same year they made record breaking profits and gave Bobby Kottick a disgustingly large bonus on top of his already obscene paycheck.

They left a huge library of properties dormant for years so they could force more studios into a cycle of developing Call of Duty games.

They lock demos for upcoming games behind preorders.

Remember when they tried to sell Spyro 1 on a disc titled a trilogy without 2 and 3 included? They had to be downloaded.

Honestly Tony Hawk, CTR, Crash 1 -3, Spyro 1 - 3 were all great but Activision is run by absolute scumbags and no we should absolutely not let them think we forget that

AngelicIceDiamond1342d ago

They need to rid of the 1X to ease up confusion and ppl will pick up the Series S. Keep the 1S as the only ast gen console.

JCOLE131951342d ago (Edited 1342d ago )

Edit: never mind

KwietStorm_BLM1341d ago

You immediately lost me when trying to be funny with all gamers hating big publishers. Just tells me you're overlooking the actual criticisms they deserve, for the sake of patting Activision on the back.
