Melee weapons look to be a shovel, climbing axe and maybe a type of sword

oh god, please nooooo!!

just saw the christmas camo in one of Hutch's new videos.
why do they have to add these cringeworthy stuff?
that is the main reason, I don't like COD anymore today.
completely destroys the atmosphere..
can't the games stay realistic??

and srsly? a sword?
fuck this..
not even when it will be sold separately..

Don't know if it is actually a sword, just looks like one in a kill feed.
Could be aweird knife.


Edit: yup new models

How dead is MWR multiplayer on PC? I heard COD4 MP is still pretty healthy on PC so I'm kind of hoping some of that enthusiasm moves over to Remastered.

Original COD4 on PC goes for $20 ($10 on sale) while this is still $80 (went for $60 on Black Friday sale) attached to a game nobody wants. It's dead.

Operation Arctic Wolf update

https://blog.activision.com/t5/Call-of-Duty/Tis-the-Season-for-Maps-Modes-and-More/ba-p/10108064

Along with the holiday camos, there are a ton of new personalization items available in Modern Warfare Remastered starting today. Dubbed ‘Operation Arctic Wolf,’ this loot drop features weapon camos, reticles, combat uniforms, emblems, calling cards, and more, including brand-new characters, which will also bring women in uniform to the fight in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for the first time.
Raven Software has been hard at work on both Modern Warfare Remastered and this new content, and had this to say about the new content: “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is a game we want players to be engaged in for a long time. We’re excited to support this great game with new content, beginning today with a ton of new customization items that allow for a level of personalization that wasn’t possible in the original release in 2007. Personalization is a big part of Call of Duty and something we’ve done in the series for a while now that fans really enjoy. But of course, we’ve done it very carefully as our highest priority is to retain the balance, aesthetics and player silhouettes in the game.
Today’s batch includes animated calling cards, emblems, camos, character personalization items, weapon customization pieces, and even new melee weapons. You can craft them with our crafting currency called Parts, or obtain them through supply drops. The choice is yours, so earn as you deem fit. You can also grind your way through to everything.

I'm fine with customization, I just hope they have the foresight to not ruin the MP with new weapons. It would be such a disappointment if after all the effort they went to in order to please the fans they completely change the balance with new weapons.
 
I'm conflicted on it the more I think about it.

If they add guns in the future I may change my opinion.

If it's just melee weapons and custom crap that's fine.

If people wanna run around Shipment with a shovel that's fine by me because my p90 would love that, knifing is broken and I doubt a shovel will fix the melee issues.

All the other stuff is fine because we can earn stuff while we play and if people really want to they can pay for a new camo or calling card, personally I wanna earn the most difficult unlocks but that's just me!

They've already ruined the aesthetics for me with this update.

As above, it's the aesthetic that's ruined now.

This isn't what fans wanted, and the press release of saying they'll be listening to see what people want next is laughable, people don't want anything, this is a cash grab because IW bombed hard.

But fool on me because I got sucked in again by Activision, I'm glad I got my copy for £40 otherwise I would be even more annoyed.
 
Apart of me feels like this is fuck you for enough people not buying IW, like they were gonna add this crap regardless but the bad sales increased the timeline.

I'm willing to bet they originally planned on implementing this early into next year rather than now, but IW not doing so hot pushed them to do this now.

Looks like they borked the PC version with the update, gg Raven. Get the message "Disc read error "patch_common_mp" " when trying to launch and it seems like it's a common thing on Steam.

Still no anti-cheat from what I can see, not many people playing, stutter at the start of a game, patchy performance, no server browser or dedicated servers and now they've fucked it with this update. What a great "remaster" for the PC version, haven't played in a week or two but I think I'm about done with it now.
 
Cosmetic only shouldn't bother anyone. They don't force you to use any of the new items.

They force me to see others using them, though.

I doubt this will be nearly as aggressive but: Gears 4 is full of garbage looking skins that tie dye entire player models and it really hurts the game's aesthetic, imo.

You die so quick in this game you won't even notice the camo

I loved the remaster, but I think it's disgusting that they're doing this. I figured at least this game would be safe from loot boxes.

I don't mind cosmetics.

But going forward, "new content" better mean the original Variety Map Pack DLC...and not just new-fangled assault rifle skins.

Meh, I never understood why people get so bent out of shape on cosmetics. They don't impede gameplay, and provide choice to those who enjoy it - that seeing others use it is considered a problem for some is a bit strange to me, but to each their own.
 
Wow female characters .


Character camo isn't stupid either, it matches the team design
Marines = Desert
SAS = Jungle
Opfor = dark urbans replace black
Spetsnaz = mix

I'm personally happy with the update!
Not only we got 6 maps, but also a lot of stuff to keep the game fresh.
I even wouldn't mind the addition of new weapons or new skins for old weapons.
The longer this game is populated and supported the better, i just want to see someone REALLY dropping it because of new camos and melee attacks...

Hmm.

I just noticed that if you have one of the new melee weapons, you can hold Triangle/Y and swap to it - but you can't do this for the normal knife.

You seem to move more quickly with the melee weapon out, and you can attack easier with it already equipped. An unfair advantage on smaller maps?

If you actually do move faster that's kind of messed up.

Should have just been a replacement skin/animation that was functionally identical to the knife. Making it a weapon you have to equip changes the gameplay, however slightly.
 
Welp...they already took the more grounded look and design of Modern Warfare and are slowly converting it into a Toys R Us version of Call of Duty.

They just couldn't help themselves could they? UGH

Yup. I'm amazed people don't care about artistic vision and consistency. It's all garish and ridiculous. Devs need to at least give me an option to toggle off all skins and let me enjoy a vanilla experience...
 
It stills plays the same and now we have all the base maps, awesome!

Also the Warfighter kit for the RPD looks great, really want to unlock that one.
 
I posted this on the supply drops thread but it's important here as well. DO NOT OPEN YOUR BOXES YET, SAVE YOUR KEYS.

They've always added new guns into the game via supply drops, with different stats or gameplay features. They're going to do it again. If you use your keys now, you only have a chance of getting cosmetic stuff. This will change. Save your crate keys for when they put new guns or variants into the crates, because it will happen like it has happened with Advanced Warfare, Black Ops 3 and Infinite Warfare.

Edit: wow they actually went and recorded female dialog in Russian,
good work Raven.
