Then sell it separately.

And what better way to celebrate CoD and the community than to package a remaster of a soon-to-be nine-year-old game with only 10 maps that is download only in a $80 edition of a game some people don't want but will buy anyway because it is the only way to get said game they do want instead of a separate release.
We all know what you're doing, Activision, stop being cheeky. I really don't know why they didn't just wait until next year and release a grand 10 Year Anniversary Remastered Edition complete with all the maps and some bonuses.
Wouldn't be surprised if they end up going back further to WW2 games for a bit.

I see where you're coming from - but why not take on board what was so successful in COD 4 (amazing single player campaign plus the peerless MP and maps) and build on it ? - instead of pandering to the pre-pubescent crowd and turning COD into a tribe-esque twitch shooter that it is now - At 45 years old - and an absolute fan of MW 1 - 2 and BO 1 and 2 it pains me to see what this franchise has become - fuck me - even Ghosts i used to play on PS4 and enjoyed most of it because it was "boots on the ground" and no fucking idiotic jet pac / wall running shite - i give up - i'd LOVE to buy a COD 4 remaster, but not like this, not behind a pay wall of a game i really don't want.
There is a huge audience of people who play COD outside of hardcore gamers. Some that never played MW1 and have no nostalgia for it.
If your sample size is just people on GAF, then yeah of course most are only interested in MW1 remaster. Most people on GAF haven't been into COD for years.

They're rushing it out the door early in an unfinished state because the focus group results are in and nobody wants to play Call of Starship Troopers.
We'll probably would get a MW2 remaster considering the next IW game would come out in 2019 and that'll be 10 years after MW2.
Yeah. They should totally go back to making the games all the same again! Why try new stuff! New stuff is for children! Us older people want to just soak in the same old muck over and over again, until the end of time!
Why change! There should be no change!
Are they really? They are still making money.
Same. Unless by some miracle the new game gets universal praise from the few reviewers I trust.

activision have cod fans by the balls. why the hell would they care if they play mw more than iw? they still have to buy the game to play it. then in the next release they will remaster mw2 and the fans will buy it again.

Unfortunately, this game was greenlit when games like TitanFall, AW and Destiny dominated the market talk. Everyone is trying to one-up each other in terms of craziness of maneuverability and what not.
Believe me though, there will be a relapse in these sci-fi shooters, and it's evident by Activision even opting out to release their safe winner aka MW1 on current systems in the first place. We will go back soon to the boots on the ground games.

agreed - fair point
Is it? Is it really? No, it's actually been refreshing seeing the series try new and exciting things, rather than staying the same. AW was a bit of a fumble, but Black Ops 3 more refined wall running, actually complement the game without becoming too bouncy like AW became. Hell, your still "On the ground" for most of Black Ops 3.
Dude it's COD. They could literally have the next game start up with a screen calling the player a pathetic basement dwelling dudebro and they'd still sell millions.

Of course they don't care, they are getting your money regardless. It's a win for them.

Well I'm not buying IW and I want the remaster, but its gonna be $100CDN.
So selling it separately won't lose sales, selling it together has.

really shouldnt be too difficult to understand...
I'd buy a call of duty for the first time since mw1 if they did. I need some ww2 shooters.

Black Ops 3 is far and away the worst online shooter I've ever played.
And then you get home and realize they trolled everyone doing that because you need the game disc to play it.
Then you have played very few shooters.
I like that everyone here seems to have decided Infinite warfare is bad game already. So many comments about how the space stuff is bad and they don't want to play it when the game isn't even out yet, it's ridiculous.
Also, people pining for a return to boots on the ground COD games should take a look at Ghosts. That's what happened when the series didn't make any strides forward and it was justifiably criticised.

Pretty much. People are overestimating that COD4 effect on players who never played it, which is the majority of COD players now.
You should probably expand your horizons then.

Its bad, but not as bad as Ghosts, or AW.
Many of us are just tired of the futuristic style. It would have to be exceptional for me to be hyped about it pre-release, and given the that the story/storytelling of every Call of Duty after Modern Warfare 3 was below average for me (BO3 was downright unplayable), that's a clear pattern. So Infinite Warfare doesn't even have the odds going for it.

Of course they're not. Why would they worry when people have to pay 80 bucks just to play it? Even if MW:R does get played more Activision still wins.
COD:IW won't have any DLCs, skins etc? If it will than of course they have an interest your main play time will go toward IW.
Black Ops 3 is downright unplayable?
Okay, yeah. I can't take the MW:R warriors seriously anymore. I just can't. Holy shit the hyperbole is so real right now.
Like, I get it, the story wasn't good and the level design was sub-par, but between you calling it unplayable and another saying that it's the worst MP they've ever played... I just can't. This is getting insane.

Why would they be worried, either way they make bank

It's amazing that we're at a point where a "modern" fps will actually feel refreshing compared to the futuristic stuff. At least for me anyway.
And I'm one of those willing to shell out $80. Though I'll remain cautiously optimistic about the new one too.

I actually did try Ghosts during the Black Ops 3 beta and already being deep into AW. It felt very refreshing to play a more methodical game where you have to migrate with your team around different parts of a map, using situational awareness to survive.
I think it failed because they were developing a game on six platforms across two and a half generations of hardware. They didn't have enough time to polish the visuals or game design, leading to an unappealing presentation and rough gameplay.
It still shipped with more content than Black Ops 3.

OK, you like BOS III - we get it.. Now chill
It literally has the worst CoD campaign. That's just my opinion though.
Why? Why did you need to go do that? Is it me liking the games suddenly an issue? If I were in this thread, bitching about the games and joining in with all of you. No one would bat an eye, yet as soon as I object and say I like the game, suddenly I'm the bad guy?
I'm sorry... But it's honestly becoming that, every thread, outside one, has become an echo chamber of vitrol.
I'd honestly put it quite low myself if I had to list the series out. The campaign was a disappointment coming off of AW and Black Ops 2.

BF 3, and 4 held my attention in COD's place.
