Take a look back at Modern Warfare's multiplayer from call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare to the upcoming Modern Warfare 3.
The developers have provided a little band-aid while PlayStation players attempt to get back into MW3.
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.
Recently, players of Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone were met with a new bundle featuring the B.E.A.S.T. Glove, inspired by King Kong's armament in the Godzilla x Kong movie. However, the $80 price tag attached to this themed accessory left many Call of Duty fans feeling underwhelmed.
Morons that allow themselves to be milked continuously by this company is the definition of irony.
Spend more $$ and you'll end up In easier lobbies so you win both ways when ya spend that cash
Controversy in the COD community feels like it happens within an alternate timeline. Activision will take the piss with something, there will be a momentary fuss about it, and then they will forget about it and carry on anyway. Repeat this cycle literally every year for the rest of time.
They call that a crack head! Thats what this is really about, its an addiction. People who dont smoke cigarettes look and laugh at the addicts that spend $8-$10 a pack, but they cant help themselves, they are addicted. That same analogy applies perfectly to the whole MT industry. Only an addict that was not thinking clearly would spend this kind of money on something so frivolous. A round of multiplayer provides the same high a person gets from scratching a lotto ticket, or putting money on a sports bet. MT in general need to really be regulated because you have a generation of kids becoming adults who grew up only knowing the MT era of gaming. Its normal to them and they will in turn teach their kids the same by just being a gaming parent and getting their kids involved with them in gaming. Thats why no matter how ridiculous the headlines keep getting out of the MT industry, it never seems to fade or go away.
I'm so tired of hearing about what they're doing with this game, its never going to change and it's never going to value the consumer over money, furthermore the people who engage so heavily in the microtransactions I guess allegedly are having a blast and can't wait to do it some more this year when the new version of the game drops.

COD4 was the best one in the series and the last good call of duty game. killstreaks were not overpowered, neither were perks besides martyrdom, guns had recoil, sone of the best map lineups in FPS history and overall balanced game.
COD4 was the best of the series, will always be. It reinvented the genre. MW2 began to destroy it. Every game tries to imitate COD due to its financial success but the reason it got that success was because COD4 was so amazing. MW2 was a very bad game, and from the footage released thus far, MW3 is MW2.5. It will sell alot, and fanboys will claim its the best ever, but in 6 months people will admit the truth. Look at GTA4- got rave reviews at release, 6 months later? Easily viewed as the most over rated game of the generation. Listen to all the commentary videos and youll be able to tell the Robert Bowling has done everything he can to make it as much like MW2 as possible. Quickscoping? Check. Take everything good from Black ops out? Check. Fix none of the issues from MW2? Check. Here comes MW2.5, I mean MW3.
CoD4 is easily the best one in the series (besides CoD3 imo, don't care wtf any of you think), and no CoD game will surpass it. When MW2 came out, I knew the series was just a pile of ****. It went downhill starting with MW2, and I have no intentions of buying any more CoD games. Hell, my friends and I still regularly play CoD4 to this day.
That game would be perfect if it had host migration (that actually worked) and if they removed crap like martyrdom and frag x3.
COD 4 is dead...modders and spammers own that game.
