Rumour: Modern Warfare Remastered includes campaign & 10 multiplayer maps

Paying $110 for CoD4 again, no regrets.

Austrailan dollar, i think:

So many of you forgetting that they are shipping a full and new CoD game this year and this remaster is only the icing on the cake. Of course they are not spending all of their ressources on a remaster, when they will have a brand new CoD game this year.

These "Only 10 maps" posts are so laughable.

What is date format in Canada? 4. 11. 16 is EU format.

Canada doesn't do that weird US stuff, so same as Europe. DD/MM/YY

What region is that picture from? $79 standard price and Day/Month/Year date suggests Australia, but I can't imagine Activision only wanting 79 dollarydoos for a new Call of Duty.

Canada.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Date_format_by_country
All three main types are used in Canada – in French and in English.[34][35]
Social Insurance applications for Canada use DMY format.[36]

Passport applications[37] and tax returns[38] use YYYY MM DD.

Immigration Canada Stamps use DD/MM/YYYY and Canada Customs Stamps use MMM/DD/YYYY.

Nearly all English newspapers use MDY (MMM[M] D, YYYY)

The fact it says Only seems a little suss. Not a good marketing term unless you want to say Only on Xbox or Only on Playstation etc.

That's ... a good point.

Why would they phrase it that way? I guess "Contains 10 MP maps from the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare game" implies they might have new maps also, and more than 10 total? They also don't refer to it by its full title, "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare", but maybe it's because they're trying to get away from numbering the franchise.
 
Uhm. This just means that they are updating and remastering this 10 maps. This takes time and resources.

10 Maps is a really good amount for a remastered Multiplayer.

Halo 2 Anniversary MP had only 5 or 6 Maps irc.

I mean, we know nothing yet, but I'm pretty sure comparing Halo 2 Anniversary to Modern Warfare Remastered is gonna be an apples and oranges kind of thing.

Let's get a wishlist going.

Crash, Crossfire, Shipment, Strike and Vacant are practically locks. Overgrown is highly likely too.

I'd personally like to see Backlot, Countdown, Downpour, Pipeline (my favourite) and Showdown.

But without the only it implies that their might be more than just 10 maps total.

as I said before. A good marketing campaign would just say something like:

"contains 10 mp maps from the original game"

notice it says the same.. just without ONLY,.,.

Uhm no?

With Halo 2 they remastered the campaign and did a Halo 2 Anniversary MP. Both with new graphics etc...

Not really apples and oranges

God dammit, CoD4 had the best maps imo, looks like I'm buying CoD on PS4 this year after not enjoying BLOPS3 on XB ONE

It's a footnote, not part of the marketing speak. It still is odd, but its not like its proudly displayed

They rebuilt the H2:A MP is a new engine though, not just the old engine with better assets like the campaign (doesn't make a difference to me, H2A campaign looked and played great anyway). We don't know if Activision is doing the same with COD4, there are varying degrees of "remaster" quality. 10 maps is still nothing to scoff at, I agree with you there.
 
What are the chances they do a $100 season pass with maps for both games?

MP on a remastered CoD 4 will mean i never touch the new game.

And I'm saying that leaves it open as to whether they include any new, additional maps.

"Contains 10 MP maps from the original game" - so there's more than 10 maps in total?

"Contains only 10 MP maps from the original game" - right, so the full package is SP + 10 MP maps from COD4.

Only 10 maps from the original game? So there might be more maps not from the original game!
 
There will be a Season Pass for IW. But i doubt that Remaster will see any more maps.

If there is a heap of people who will buy it only for CoD4, it wouldnt shock me if they have a even more expencive season pass and have it for both games to get people to play the new one at times.

Never underestimate the greed.

I mean, it will probably be available separately at some point, right? Would be funny if it isn't as the multiplayer won't be hugely populated. Not everyone is going to want to spend more to get an old game.
 

industrian

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
If they haven't fucked with the online part of CoD4 I'll be there day one.

I just want my UAV, Airstrike, Helicopter and other standard shit thankyouverymuch.

Well...

Maybe they should have went with "Contains only: ....".

They shouldn't use "only". "Game contains 10 maps" should be enough for people to understand that the game contains 10 maps. Using the word "only" makes it sound like a smaller number than what it is.

Selling half of the maps upfront does give them the opportunity to sell the other half...

They shouldn't use "only". "Game contains 10 maps" should be enough for people to understand that the game contains 10 maps. Using the word "only" makes it sound a smaller number than what it is.

"Game contains 10 maps" works

"Game contains 10 maps from [game]" is a more ambiguous statement.

It's probably just a legalese thing. They can't claim it's a full remaster, and putting "only" probably just covers their backs legally.
 
Ambush
Backlot
Bloc
Crash
Crossfire
District
Overgrown
Pipeline
Shipment
Strike
Vacant

(not including DLC maps because they're lesser known and thus less likely to make it in, imo)

That's 11....FUCK. Not sure if I could cut any of those...I could maybe...maybe...let go of District or Bloc.

Reasons for cuts: Bog snowballs super hard once players starting getting airstrikes - anyone spawning out in the field has no chance. Countdown's open layout makes it 3x frag city. Downpour was always a bit chaotic with the constant rain. Showdown only really played well in TDM imo, could kinda be a mess in other modes. Wet Work often came to total standoffs since it was so hard to move on it.

I mean, I want them all, but what are you gonna do.

I wonder how Respawn Entertainment feel about this.

This is a really smart play by Activision. They just activated their trap card.
