The biggest issue with Ghosts wasn't the fact it made no major strides though.
It ran like crap on PS4, looked like crap on Xbone, and the maps were, on the whole, poorly designed.
The core gameplay loop was actually pretty enjoyable. It's the maps that really killed Ghosts for me.

Because some of those maps were trash
Most likely because they remade everything, which is extra work and time, and it only costs $20 if you add-in Infinite Warfare price. And I'm assuming they would like to keep some to sell DLC later? idk.
I don't see what's wrong with the comment, the hate for the series is hyperbolic.
Black Ops 3's campaign is bad but your last point is like objectively wrong. Black Ops 3 had 2 different campaigns, zombies, Dead ops arcade + multiplayer.
Why would I be trolling you? I should be asking you, do you think this is all a joke? I don't know how you want me to respond to you now. I'm honestly kind of insulted that you would think me a possible troll, just for taking issues with what others have said?
It's not like people need to love the game, it's not like I want every single person to be happy with the way the series is going. No one is ever going to be. It's just that it's tiring to see, every thread about IW, becoming a vitrol echo chamber of those who decided the game is terrible, without even playing it, and just go on and on about how they hope it fails and that MW:R is a huge success.
are you sure you understand how that word is used?...say what you want...but there is nothing about CoD's basic gameplay that is jank...
thats not really his point...as always, the hyperbole here is obnoxious...
storyline sucked? absolutely...but the gameplay is very solid

They're definitely not worried about people playing MW Remastered more than Infinite Warfare. At that point they've already got your $80 bucks, so it's really no loss to them. This is also going to keep CoD stable year-over-year in sales compared to Blops3 since MW is so revered.

Jesus - i'm not arguing with some bell-end i've never met about a video game - go get a girlfriend or something you fucking sad individual
Did you not read the "for me" part right before the parentheses?
I literally could not drag my attention through it. I could not progress past the second or third mission, the one with with train I believe.
So yes, unplayable.
I thought its staleness was a huge part of why it failed for me. Its campaign would be fine if I hadn't played the same thing but better like 5 times over, and while it's multiplayer maps were bad, so were Modern warfare 3's and that game got a pretty good reception at launch. People like to make fun of COD for being the same game every year but Ghosts was the first one to really live up to that reputation.

Ghosts had Campaign, Extinction (zombies), Safehouse (horde), Squads, and multiplayer.
Also game modes =/= content. Black Ops 3 shipped with fewer maps and fewer multiplayer weapons than any other Call of Duty ever released.

Challenge accepted.
Wow... Holy shit. I never even insulted you or anything! For a guy who told me to chill... Maybe take your own advice. Jesus.
I've mentioned it before, but every remake I can remember in the past decade just end up being nostalgia trips that don't ever last like the good old days when it first was out. I would be completely surprised if MW Remaster had a bigger population then IW at any point in time.
lmao.
lmao.
Lol, Ghosts shipped with 14 Maps, Black ops 3 with 13. Not much of a difference. As far as I can tell they have a similar number of weapons too.
Edit: should say Black Ops 3 also has a horde mode, and it's campaign has a whole progression system to it that Ghosts doesn't. Really I don't see how you could say Blops 3 doesn't have as much content as Ghosts. Some of it's bad, sure, but it's there.

No reason to not sell it separately then.

What the heck is even going on right now? You're on a video game forum discussing a video game, and you're getting this upset that he disagrees with you? What? He's not even being rude about it. Lol.

This is why people have a bad opinion of CoD fans.

More than anything I think ATVI must be worried about Infinite now MWR, not only by the inclusion of putting in MWR into the package in the first place, then not selling it solo, but also the fact that they're letting it dominate the conversation right now.
A new CoD just got shown off and no one is actually talking about that at all.
I mean let's face it, new IW have frequently shat the bed now, and the game getting all the buzz isn't even made by them.
Heck, the reveal trailer was uncharacteristically boring for a CoD vid =/

So first I'm objectively wrong, now I'm only sorta right. Thanks for begrudgingly agreeing with me, I guess.
Your line of thinking simply does not translate to online games.

I'll say that's more like an exception than anything.
Because it has 1 less map it has less content, even though it has more modes, many of which are longer and more involved than Ghosts? Alright then.

well it won't physically be possible if the game is only included in the $80+ LE right?

Of course they aren't worred folks will play MW more...they are worried folks will pay for MW instead of COD du jour.

I feel so sorry for the passonate Infinity Ward developers who naively think this is the case.
Staying Frosty!
I think they were just answering questions. They're worried about people playing Titanfall 2 or Battlefield 5 instead of CoD, not about people paying $80 for their games this year.

I mean, tbh. I wouldn't call CS:GO a remake.
It's a new installment in the series.
And it's just so far out as to what games are doing these days, it's a completely different business model.
Because they're remade from the ground up with new lighting, new textures, new geometry, new player models, reworked sounds, practically everything you see visually is new because none of the old assets hold up. They do this while having to release along with a full campaign for the orignal game. About the only thing that will be the same is the layouts and the settings of each map thats brought over. And thats along side a brand new game with its own multiplayer modes. Even Activision doesn't have infinite time, manpower and budget to port all of the maps.

I just take the fact that they are not selling it separately, is because they know what we know.

I haven't bought a CoD since Black Ops 2, and I'll be buying this one, all for Modern Warfare Remaster.
Packaging them together is a smart move.

I sure as hell hope it is.
From a business PoV, this is a home run. It's guaranteed money for Acti's shareholders (every CoD is I know but now it's $80 instead of $60). And you know what Acti is gonna do with DLC? They gonna bundle 1 or 2 MW remastered maps in IW DLC every 3 months to get people to buy DLC or the season pass. It's a no-brainer.

Counter-Strike Go was conceived to reinstate much of the details of the original game, with the express intent of undoing some of the changes brought by Source. At launch, the developer tried introducing new game modes and keeping them together with new maps and these were largely ignored as the players both new and old coalesced around the classic offerings. Even today, every playlist has original CS maps as their anchor and some continue to exclusively rotate classic CS maps.
This must sound strange for console gamers, where the ecosystem is subsidized by new, disposable experiences. But PC is rife with mega hits preserving classic gameplay with a fresh coat of paint, exactly like MWR. If Activision is smart, they'll let Raven bring out those other 10 maps and keep the community engaged with patches and new content.
They'll likely make more money there than they ever could with Infinite Warfare.
Yep good point. Those other 10 maps will be of course be DLC
You guys seem to think kids these days are ignorant and stupid to the fact? Once these kids see their older siblings, their favorite YouTube personalities, and the overall word of mouth about how good the og COD is, it WILL have an effect. I guarantee this space marine cod will have a negative stigma throughout its life and I can see activision bundling a remastered cod with every new cod in the future.
All its gonna take is one pewdipie episode for these kids to switch allegiances.
DLC of DLC that came out years before. Ew.
Yep and you know people will buy it no problem. Acti knows their player base well
