PlanetXbox360: "With Call of Duty: World at War's initiation into the Call of Duty franchise, comparisons and preferences have been widely expressed and slung around unnecessarily frequently. Back when Call of Duty 3 came out, the talk wasn't nearly as heavy, and the winner of the battle was clearly Call of Duty 2 over 3 (or at least in my niche of friends). But now, Treyarch managed to, and I have no idea how, totally confuse the hell out of players as to the simple question of "which game is better." It's hard to say, really, since the two are, at their roots, the same game, albeit visual aesthetics are greatly improved and, well... all the inherit stuff that comes from being in World War II again.
There are differences between the two, though, some significant and some not, so I've made list of them. Since World at War is merely the same game with several new features in a blatant attempt to one-up Infinity Ward's game, I'll be structuralizing this list to display the best features; contrarily, for Call of Duty 4's list, it will be comprised of features that couldn't translate over to World at War; from either design choices, or being 70 years in the future, they will be mentioned."
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?
Pfft easy win for Infinity Ward.
IW can compete with the FPS gods like Valve,id,and DICE.
I don't play either. I'm burned out on CoD.
To All............
MERRY XMAS GAMERS!!!!!
It's hard for me to choose a definite winner because they are, to me, so similar. I really do like the dogs alot. I always felt like the other team just always took my helicopter out before it could even do any real damage in COD4. I think the dogs are a little tougher to do that with. I do very much agree with his statement though about dying alot of deaths that don't seem to be my fault. There have been many instances where I would be sniping (that's pretty much my specialty) and I could swear that I shot a guy directly in the chest or head, but the bullet detection just didn't take it and the guy turns around and shoots me one time and I die. Those things make me crazy but overall both games are so ridiculously good and so much fun! I guess since COD4 was so revolutionary that I have to give it the winning score. Oh and it's wonderful to see people saying Merry Christmas and not the lame, politically correct "happy holidays." Thank you for staying true to the spirit of the season. God bless you all and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! PSN: Frodo25
