Modern Warfare Remastered won't be sold separately

Yep. This sounds fine to me. And if IW turns out great, I'll play a bit and maybe keep it. Win win.


Until its only launchable from the IW menu O_O.

The IW version of the game only includes 10 maps from the base game. I could see a standalone version retailing for 29.99, but containing all the base maps from the original game

Well it is easy then. Your not getting my money this year Activision. No way I am buying Infinite Warfare. It looks bland, boring and terrible.

Hopefully the Battlefield reveal later this week will get me hyped on a new fps.
 
If I end up deciding to get this, I'll be getting the legacy edition for $63 thanks to GCU. Then I'll trade in Infinite Warfare for like $40 credit. Not too bad.

I actually hope that MW will only be playable through Infinity Warfare, just like Zombie mode is a part of blops. So you will need to launch IW to play MW.

I think some heads would explode.. ;o)

I think its saying something when most folks are more excited about the remaster then the newest iteration. Somethings gotta change?

I wonder when they will confirm whether or not you need IW to continue playing MW:R?

Taking any bets, Chobel?

Fuck this. I'm not rewarding IW gor turning CoD into a generic space shooter. I would rather pay full price for MW alone, you know, to send a message.

Everyone, of course it wont. They want to sell as much IW as much as possible. The game will probably launch in IW.
 
That's some genius marketing, for the first 2 months at retail at least, unless they plan on those legacy SKU's being mass produced as much as the standard editions for the rest of the year until Sledgehammer's next is announced. What is the split between digital/physical (consoles) for CoD's again? The usual 80/20 or higher? Would be wise to throw this on PSN/XBL (NN?) after 6 months, or a month after all the legacy units have shipped to retailers (not sold through).

The icing on the cake is half the maps being thrown in, play the savior card later with PR - "WE LISTENED TO WHAT YOU WANT, HERE'S THE OTHER 10 MAPS!!!11, just for $19.99. We love our fans."

Come on now.. You know the truth, the rest of the maps will be available as part of Infinity Warfare DLC, like Zombie maps are part of Blops DLC.

Money money money..

It says you must own it though, could mean you have to launch it from IW.

Possible, but it descibes it as a 'full game digital download' which suggests it could be a code inside the box.

Infinity Ward really need to clear this up ASAP.

Funny that they have perfect notion that this last games are shit by throwing this gem from last gen but they still do them instead of going back to classic call of duty.

Must be "frustrating" to know that fans are more excited to play a game they ve already played a thousand times than a brand new experience

The chance is there. They describe it as a 'full game digital download' though so I'm trying to remain optimistic.

Oh it will be a full game. I just can't imagine that no one at IW didnt think about the fact that people may want MW more than Infinite Warfare and would flood the market with used copies to get it. Regardless of what you think of their game, they are not stupid.....

It would be in their best interest not to.

Yep. Probably be waiting for confirmation on this one for months.

Oh I know it'll be a full game and I know exactly why IW are doing this.
