From an French review.
They report from the translation:
" Yet, despite all his qualities, including technical, Call Of Duty 4 has some default . The first of, its life: 5 hours! That, as it is said, quick and painful as they say. 5 hours is about the time it takes to complete the game in medium difficulty."
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?
I was furious when I originally heard this. But because I'm buying 3 games that are solely single player (R&C, Uncharted and Assassins) this month then I don't mind at all. I'll just play Call of Duty when I want some Mulitplayer action.
This will still be bad news for people who can't or won't be buying much this month if they saw this game as their main source of gaming. But Online will be a blast - literally.
P.S. Look forward to owning you, love Meus
There's a reason it is coming with 16 SIXTEEN multi-player maps guys. That's probably a MP map for every single player campaign....we'll see tomorrow!
Wow only 5 hours of story, man that really suck .
Well to be fair, i know it will take me longer than 5hours to complete, probally closer to 10hours as i take my time on games. But saying that i mainly brought this game for the multiplayer and am picking up R&C on friday aswell for the single player
this up for multiplayer gaming too, it's sweet!
