"Reflex edition"? Goddamn, I didn't think that it was possible for them to make this port any stupider. Congrats on the success, Activision. I hope nobody buys this game.

Seferoth755294d ago

Me too. Sadly I still do not think they will get it. Guitar Hero sales good on Wii because it ships on the same date as the other games and offers everything the other versions do. This is a very late port and regardless of how good it was 2 years ago. every Wii owner should pass.

I'm not even buying MW2 for the PC now because of this and other reasons. Activision seems to be going downhill very fast.

Kisama5294d ago

Wow, really? You are throwing a fit over a name change? How old are you, 9?

XiaoSet5294d ago

@smacktard

"Stupider" is not a word. Now who is stupid?

Smacktard5293d ago

We're not throwing a fit over a name change. We're throwing a fit over the fact that we're getting a down-grade port of an old game the same time its sequel is coming out, when we should be getting the sequel instead. It's a plain disservice to Wii owners, and yet I remember when Activision was talking about this port, they were acting like Wii owners owed them a "thank you."

@ Seferoth: I don't know why you got so many disagrees. You're making perfect sense.

@ XiaoSet: Uh... you're wrong. Don't believe everything you read. Problem with common sense knowledge is that it isn't so common.
Stupider is a word.

The "stupider isn't a word" thing is a myth that's often spread around. You must feel pretty stupid for believing this when you heard it without doing any research on it, huh?

Should've called it Modern WiiFair

HolyOrangeCows5294d ago

...it would have sold more than all of the currently sold games COMBINED.

(Every game with the word "Wii" in it sells a billion copies)

cheapndirty5293d ago

It looks like a fun game. I am betting this will be the game that uses the wii mote as a gun the best.

Of course, I will wait for the review and as longs as it reviews decent I will try it. I am trying to get my other 360/ps3 friends to expand their horizons and try a different style of gaming.

I like to mix up my gaming.

NotoriousWarrior5294d ago

if they want to sell more copies then they should make it look like its MW2 level game by changing the cover to desert style like MW2. that will fool people.

its all business anything to get more sales and profit.

Boom5294d ago

So instead of providing newer screen shots and game play videos the latest announcement is a name change.

WTF

ChickeyCantor5294d ago

REFLEX would have been better, the edition seems pointless....it would confuse some consumers that there is also a different version out there.

Why MW 2019 is still the best looking Call of Duty to date

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.

I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired

P_Bomb288d ago

Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.

4Sh0w288d ago

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

porkChop288d ago

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.

TheColbertinator287d ago

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

shinoff2183287d ago

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

neutralgamer1992287d ago

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

P_Bomb287d ago

@neutral
Gun was Activision as well. Nice open world Wild West there imo.

neutralgamer1992286d ago

Gun is such a underrated game

None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?

Rutaprkl287d ago

Older cods like Mw, Mw2 and WaW were way better than Call of Dutys nowadays

GoodGuy09287d ago

Make activision remaster mw2 (2009) multiplayer please xbox.
