Modern Warfare Remastered won't be sold separately

yup give it 6 months or to the point where the new cod isn't selling as well as it can do and we will see it as a download, it's money to be made just left on the table otherwise.
I haven't felt like a COD game was worthwhile since MW2. Even renting AW felt like more than that game deserved. I'm assuming the husk of Infinity Ward isn't going to suddenly produce a brilliant product after a decade of middling releases. I'd love to be wrong, but I'm not banking on it.

This is definitely what is going to happen. I'd expect nothing less.
Pass for me then. I have a fondness for the MW campaign, but I actually never played the multiplayer (didn't hop on that train until MW2) so I'm not super crazy about it overall, and Infinity Ward hasn't made a good game in forever and I'm probably one of the few people that liked MW3 okay. I have enough fond memories of MW2 that I would maaaaaaaaaybe bite on something similar for that game, but even then I dunno since most of the people I played MW2 with are on a different platform now.
Also don't blame them at all for this since a fuckton of people will buy the pricier editions just to get this. It's evil but smart. I also agree with the idea that they will probably have it boot off the IW disc to help kill used sales, but I think they'll make it available for purchase through the IW store or whatever at some point to non-Legacy/Deluxe owners of the game.

Activision:
"You guys are buying and will make this the highest selling COD. Thanks!"

But no fucking way I could wait 6 months...
I couldn't even wait 1 month. Maybe, maybe 1 week, anything longer, I'd rather get it day fucking one. Probaly the first midnight launch I'll go to in 5 years.

They did, but that is a different year. (Also, COD was much more positively received back then)

As Sartre noted in his contemplation on Hell in No Exit, the true horror is other members.
Medal of Honor Frontline: Remaster was originally a Medal of Honor pack-in too, but it went separate.
They all eventually go separate.
yeah they'll have it up for $30-40 by the end of the year. I wouldn't worry.

They will sell the game less than a year after Infinite Warfare is released.

Call of Duty Classic was included with the Modern Warfare 2 Hardened Edition and was released on the marketplace separately three weeks later. Could be a similar situation with Modern Warfare Remastered.

Because if it isn't regular boots on the ground gameplay it isn't real COD.

Activision trying to regain the crown of most scummy publisher from Ubisoft.

On day one, how many players do you all expect to not play the new game but the remaster? Maybe 15,000? I don't know what they're thinking.

This is the same shit that they did with Call of Duty Classic

It almost certainly will and I think I'll be waiting.

Activision come on, what are you doing?

Not competing with themselves.
To sell it separately would be doing exactly that.

Were people honestly expecting anything different? They want people buying and playing IW, why would they potentially steal sales away from that with the MW remaster. The remaster acts as an incentive to get more people to buy a more expensive edition of IW, nothing more.
I'm sure it will be available on its own after awhile, but c'mon folks, this is marketing 101.

its a shit move for players, but smart move by a business standpoint.
I think they know that CoD is stale and everyone is sick of all the boring skill-less game, and sales would be like 100-1 MW:R's way.
dont know if i will wait for it standalone.

Yeah, they'll say this now, but I could see it being sold separately eventually.

I would actually be excited about Infinite Warfare if Blops III wasn't such an unmitigated piece of shit campaign-wise and I wasn't so over the multiplayer. I stopped buying CoD games around Ghost because I just stopped caring, but picked up Blops III on some buy two get one free deal last year and I just ughh. I really, really don't want another CoD game, but CoD4 is the best in the franchise for me. Not sure what to do.....

COD4 remaster is sick but I'm not getting the new game for it, I have no interest. I'll wait and see if they sell separately if not then oh well.

There is a reason they got this announcement out before battlefield, Titanfall, and overwatch get shown off or release.

Sensible way to ensure series stays on top, if there was any doubt.

I'll wait until it does get sold seperate then. Sorry Activision but I don't want futuristic COD games.

Who cares? It's an old game. I can wait for the inevitable digital download release when they see how bad infinite warfare sells. It looks like shit. And so many new games for me to care about a remaster of a game I played to death. Meh.
