IGN went hands-on with the PlayStation 3 version of Call of Duty 4 and seen new maps, new modes and plenty of bullets:
"Many curious how Infinity Ward's soon-to-release shooter will play have likely already answered that question for themselves. Xbox 360 owners had the opportunity to play in a rather long-running beta, PC gamers got a single-player demo, and PS3 owners got nothing...awkward. Our latest play session with the game, checking out a new multiplayer map and mode, was with yet-to-be widely seen PS3 version. Not surprisingly, it played almost exactly like the Xbox 360 version. We say almost because we were using a SIXAXIS instead of an Xbox 360 controller, but the gameplay was more or less identical. We'd make graphical comparisons, but there was no Xbox 360 version nearby with which to match up to, and the PC version's multiplayer wasn't on display."
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?
dam lovin it
I'm at work, someone tell me how it looks and what to think of it.
Hmmm, the best version, i might buy this....
ps3 ftw on this call of duty
I played the Beta on 360 and REALLY enjoyed it. It is a lot of fun.
I am up in the air about what cosole I want to get it on though. I prefer the 360 controller for FPS's.
However I like the weight of the PS3 controller.
Either way this game is going to be a lot of fun multiplayer.
