yeah, it will probably be available way earlier or after infinite warfare launches not to kill the multiplayer
but clearly it's a downloadable pack, probably an addition to the ingame menu so you can't trade in the disc.JumPeRJumPzZ

Looks like when BO3 and Advanced Warfare had a baby...
Man there is really no variety anymore with this CoD games... all share the same theme... mostly the same gameplay..
Why not call every game Infinite Warfare from now on?

There are jetpacks. That's a deal-breaker. I'm out.
Space dogfighting is always cool though.

Eh. Hopefully I can buy the CoD4 remaster separately.

Activision will probably force people for 6 months or so to buy the Legacy Edition of IW to get the Remaster....
That's practically exactly what I mean by "straight-up sci-fi." Energy weapons, interplanetary—or even interstellar—travel and colonization, space dogfights, highly advanced cybernetics, battles on alien moons/planets, et al. It's also more of an aesthetic than anything else, really, an aesthetic this game is not representing whatsoever.
Obviously it was a matter of mismanaged expectations on my part, but it's disappointing for the series to not make such a drastic leap forward, but instead continue with these incremental baby steps towards sci-fi.

Huh, and here I assumed I could sit COD out until the next Treyarch title.
Kind of funny that all of the COD devs have gone full future though. I assumed at least one would stay deliberately retro.

I have a feeling the remaster is going to sell more copies than Infinite Warfare.
What a stupid name for the game too. Feels like they run out of names and are now just using the studio's name as part of the title
EDIT: I almost forgot, why the fuck use a cover of a Bowie song?! It was awful, at least use the original...

Infinite warfare though?
What a fucking name.
This game is too american for me. Everything from the obvious Bowie track, the generic game cover and even the name of the game.

Well, as someone who hated the cloyingly American jingoistic overtones of the modern setting and found the games increasingly more appealing as they got more Sci Fi, this will be my first COD since they made the jump away from WW2.
Not sure if that's a good or bad thing for long term fans though, but hey, that infinitely more fun than any of the Modern Warfare games to me at least.

In fact we don't know anything about that, so you can speculate all you want about Activision's distribution strategy but yeah.

They did the same shit with the CoD1 Port.
And if the leaked Ad is anything to go by, im not really that far off.

After seeing that I know why Activision plan to release COD4 again
"Okay, okay, so in this new Call of Duty, we like to introduce you to jetpacks!"
"Titanfall did it."
"And also us in two games in a row after that."
"Alright, uhm, we have space battles! Massive ships that shoot at each other in space!"
"Titanfall did it too."
"Right, shit, well, they don't have square headed robots do they!? That at least we got!"
"And also"
"FUCK!"

I thought Titanfall was pretty restrained in sci-fi terms, but they are giving us electric titan swords in alien jungles.
Really? Cause that game had huge-ass space dinosaurs and mecha. You weren't shooting lasers or energy blasts or anything like that, true, but Titanfall was pretty sci-fi.

Can't really tell much from that at all.
Actually:
Not to mention the Arc Rifle, the energy shield etc.
Damn; looks like I didn't play enough Titanfall. (I didn't play enough Titanfall.)
THe same engine they have been running?

Rewatching the trailer, I've got to wonder who the hell chose these clips. Look, it's some guys shuffling across the room. Look, it's a guy shining a flashlight around in a corridor. Look it's some guys falling and an explosion. Look, it's your CO from Advanced Warfare saying something both dramatic and unintelligible to your face. Look, it's a lady lowering her gun and giving a dead eyed stare at something off-screen.
Paired with Call of Duty (or any AAA military game of the last decade), these scenes have become so trite and generic. Space is honestly the only potentially interesting thing they've got going here.

You should definitely check out Advanced Warfare too. It has an awesome campaign (imo, possibly the best), a *lot* of near-future sci-fi stuff, and an interesting thematic play on the jingoism.
This game does look great though, this is where I've wanted the series to go since BO2 introduced the real sci-fi stuff. Pretty hyped.
Probably the same one they have been using for years on end.

Yeah, about that...
Looking at those scenes, I guess yeah, Titanfall IS pretty sci-fi.
Most people didn't.

Activision should force IW to put some invading space tigers into this franchise if they know what's up.
Yup.
I bet the CoD 4 remaster is a test to see how successful an 'old fashion' CoD would be.

I actually didn't like the use of that song for the trailer, I think it doesn't fit (and I love Space Oddity... As a matter of fact I was listening to it this morning before I even knew about the trailer).
Yep, no, couldn't have been more wrong there. I clearly did not play enough Titanfall.
