MTV Multiplayer asked Infinity Ward's Community Manager Robert Bowling via e-mail about the Achievements in Call of Duty 4. A fan of Achievements himself, Bowling and the team behind the best-selling title take Achievements very seriously:
"I don't agree with Achievements that don't require skill, like 'Play multiplayer for 8 hours straight.' That's not an achievement, that's a pain; it's one of those Achievements people will typically get simply by starting up a game and just leaving it sit while they sleep."
Bowling also goes on to talk about the lack of Achievements for online multiplayer, the hardest Achievement in Call of Duty 4 and his own "Achievement-cation" he recently took…
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
Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.
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.
That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.
They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2
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
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
i think its awesome, iw just said what so many others think, "hey achievements are gay period so well make you do gay stuff to get them."
I think they did a FANTASTIC job with those achievements making them interesting and at the same FUN to get a thing a LOT of devs seem to forget when creating achievements
also thanks good for a reduction in the number of multiplayer achievements :)
overall achievments mean nothing but sometimes its fun to try and get certain ones
I've put hundreds of hours into the Call of Duty series, and you know how long I've played online multiplayer? maybe 15 minutes..MAYBE
I serverly dislike Call of Duty multiplayer but love the campaign.
And the achievements for COD4 don't seem extremely hard to get, 1000/1000 here I come :D
wtf is wrong can i get my money back
