Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is perhaps the weakest entry in this long-running series.
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?
Maybe not weakest but it's close. Hopefully they can fix everything because the graphics and engine are pretty awesome.
It is Call of Duty though so my expectations are incredibly low.
Edit: I think Call of Duty 3, Ghosts, and Infinite Warfare have the best arguments for worst in series.
100%disagree, me and my mates loves this game, One of the best fps ever made, and
We all have been gamìng for 30 years:)peace😊
Totally written by a Russian.
"GB" means no read. Gamingbolt is garbage but at least this doesn't ask a developer for their take and then put "says Dev" in the title
Gotta admit this is the 1st COD I'm buying since Infinate Warfare(mostly for Modern Warfare Remaster lol) but I'm excited! It looks great and I live this story and I want to see what they've added and how it stands up to the original.
