Oh, wait, you're trying to imply that that those aren't legitimate complaints? Hilarious.

It's not about the DLC itself, but rather the fact that they couldn't contain themselves and added it AFTER people had payed for a deluxe edition of another game that just happened to include this one. It's the fact that even though they remastered it, they show no respect to the original piece of work (which was obviously groundbreaking at its time and definitely deserved a remaster) and instead take the first chance they get to milk even further the fans that trusted them with their money.
Edit: I'm talking about Activison obviously, as far as I know, Infinity Ward are great developers.

For those who want to experience paid map packs and loot systems, this is a great chance to see a shitty dlc system kill a classic game. Jump in

Cosmetic DLC is fine, hell I spent enough on BO2 personalisation packs that I wanted, but this loot box BS pisses me off royally.
For one i hate RNG, secondly the earn rate of keys in this game may as well be zero, it takes fucking ages to earn keys and that is down to one component, they prey on the weak who will not want to grind for hours and will choose to drop real money on an RNG crate.

I wonder what Zampella thinks of all this. He said don't fuck it up when this got announced. The initial game was a good remaster. Its been in shambles since their lame DLC practices.

Yup, I played it up until they started adding in all that bullshit than dropped it. Disgusting
It was fucked up from the announcement, handcuffing it to the shackles of IW
But yeah all the DLC and MTX just made it worse.

I'll put my hand up as one of those people and I'll give Yu three reasons why I either won't bother or will continue to wait.
1) Price. It's too high
2) They changed the multiplayer too much
3) They took way too fucking long when combined with 1 and 2
So yeah, now I'll continue to wait until a heavy price drop. Hopefully it has no online achievements.

But those guns are not better than the standard guns. So they are not affecting the game balance. The standard guns were fine 10 years ago and they are still there.
I get the argument that splitting the player base is a shitty thing to do. But we are talking about a single map pack not multiple map packs. I haven't looked how MWR handles the DLC in matchmaking. Is it a seperate playlist? If so what's the big deal? Just play the other playlists or pay the 15 bucks. People around here buy way more stupid stuff on PSN/XBL.
They released free maps in a content update in december last year just like the announced prior to launch. Paid DLC was not in the cards officially last year.

Now I can pay an overpriced remaster of a game with shitty microtransactions and ten year old DLC that costs more than it did. I love how Activision has defied the very concept of a Remaster by not including all the content, thus setting the stage for other publishers to start abusing remasters too.
I will never pay you money for MWR unless/until You stop treating gamers like resources to be harvested and disposed of.

Shitty price, considering I just want it for the campaign. Oh well.

Maybe for the X1 version (which can be resold as it's on your disc from what I've read) but the PS4 legacy physical included a one use code that inexplicably requires the disc to boot.
The thing is, I'd play MWR more if I didn't have to go and insert the IW disc. Your loss Acti.

I'm glad it's finally out, I swore Activision would have had no choice but to do this much sooner.
I'm not sure if they fixed this but I don't think it's worth it for the MP, there's something slightly off about the aiming, not sure if it's netcode. It's just not as precise or in sync as CoD4 was to me. It might have something to do with the AW engine being retrofit into a 10 year old game. Campaign is bliss, though, I must have played it at least 5 times or so when it came out and got the platinum.

Despite the super fucking shady shit Activision pulled on this, MWR is easily the best remaster I have played. It's a true bottom up remaster in every sense of the word.
Ignore what I said, it may be a month before it's released for the Xbox One and PC. Idiotic move on Activisions part!
Where did you find it for $30?

You say that like it isn't a valid position to take.
I think everything happened this way because Activision is trying to slot this remaster into the Live-game model. Remasters and the live-game model don't really mix. It's the reason EA doesn't do any remasters.
Remasters exist to celebrate games as individual products, to celebrate things from the pre-games-as-a-service era. Live-games rely on players staying with the new thing and continuing to buy new stuff in it. Activision is trying to sell COD4 in a way it can keep bringing in revenue. They probably originally included it with IW as a part of the IW service itself -- think of it as a really big piece of DLC. That's pretty much the only way publishers have figured out to slide a remaster into the live-game model.

30 actually, not $30. Amazon.fr
(Looking at the conversion will make it look pricier to you but for us Europeans it is pretty much the same thing value-wise).
Is the game region locked by any chance? I live in Canada and that version is extremely cheap compared to amazon.ca.

This poster pulses with an appeal so broad the typical restraints of our societies fall by the wayside.
Yes, it's excellent, and that was the general consensus (even on GAF) when the game first came out. People saying otherwise now are just being (understandably) stubborn because the MP experience has been altered.

No. Activision can fuck off.
I'd say it's worth playing just as a piece of gaming history, and if you're going to play through it you might as well play the prettier version.

At this price?
Yum, lunch day.
Sorry.
The legacy edition has been available for sub £25 here in the UK for all platform from various places this past fortnight. Anyone who wanted just MW may as well have bought that instead.
Price gouging at its finest.
