Lol. They just lost a sale.

To be fair wouldn't they lose a sale anyways if you had every intention to sell\refund the game back?

 

[TGO]

Scammers got scammed lol
Activision be like
"You'll take IW with your MW and you will play it!"

 

[black070]

"So wait, you're telling me I really have to buy Infinite Wafare to get Modern Warfare Remastered ?! Bfjwjanfjjajfha"

The uproar is laughable. We've known that was the only means of purchasing it, so the only people this news would effect are those who were planning on returning their IW copies immediately after which is ridiculously scummy.

 

[OléGunner]

Smart move by Activision.
They also get round people selling codes online with the requirements of physical or digital copies installed.

I'm impressed and will wait a year until it's sold separately.

 

[sugarman]

Not surprised but this is fine by me because COD is great.

There's nothing scummy about selling a game you don't want.

Scummy lmao

Your comment is laughable. People who bought IW with their own money are allowed to do what they want with it. Who are you to tell me what I can do with my purchased goods? It is anti-consumer and you are apologizing on behalf of the publisher. GTFO.

 

[Lord Frieza]

Don't even bother. People have built this narrative in their heads that IW is a failure by some unexplainable metric even though they never played it. Also this narrative they've built in their head is infallible and they are completely right and other alternatives are wrong, just because.

Also some also believe that BF1 is the savior of this Fall, completely also forgetting that the last Battlefield game had one of the worst launches of this gen of consoles.

That, and BF has never really managed to match COD. I love GAF, but there's sometimes where you just have to roll your eyes at some of the shit that comes out of here. You can tell a lot of people live in their own little bubble

 

[AndrewDean84xX]

I'm a patient man, thanks to my huge PC backlog. I'll wait for them to sell it standalone in 6-9 months.

opinions and assholes.

BF is leagues above COD in the gameplay department if you ask me. Running in circles on tiny ass maps was fine in 2007.

If you say so guy - never said I was for the idea of making it an Infinite Warfare bundle exclusive, but if it is, then this should always have been the case. IW & MWR is the package you're buying, until there's a standalone.

Just like I'm not going to cry about paying full price for the Bioshock Collection to just play one game.

I'm not talking about opinions. I'm talking about what the comment I quoted was talking about. This idea that IW is going to be 'dead in the water' without this remaster, despite the fact that the series is one of the highest selling series in the industry and will, most likely, easily outsell every game released this year regardless of the MW remaster. Or that BF never matches the sales of COD despite being a 'savior' for some. These are just facts.

If someone dislikes modern COD or thinks BF is better, that's fine, but reality doesn't warp around this opinion despite what a lot posting here may think.

The narrative being pushed is silly, but Gaf isn't always indicative of the mainstream e.g. the FIFA 17 OT has less than a dozen pages, but is the highest selling entry in the series, soaring well past a million in UK alone.

Yeah, that's basically what I'm saying.

 

[LookAtMeGo]

Pre-order cancelled until it's sold separately.

Wat? Lol. This makes no sense.

Anyway. IW looks better than MW:R.

I dont mind throwing the disc of the superior game in for a bit to play the dinosaur.

[noface]

Maybe some people don't give a damn about sales and just think IW will be a failure because every single one of the future cods is a gigantic gameplay failure (opinions hey). Skill and soulless drivel for the masses. I was SO on board for another go at the legendary game which is solely responsible for the 'recent' success of this franchise IMO but not when I have to buy the ADHD wallrunner version too.

 

[SliceSabre]

I actually admire how ingenious this is. You can never accuse Activision not knowing their audience.

How about play the original game then, eh?

I still like the idea of bundleing it again next year with the next CoD lol

On my ps4? If you send me a copy I'm all game. I don't want to sound like a hater, but I am just bitter with the way this franchise developed. I adored MW and MW2. Everything after fell flat for me, and I gave almost every COD a fair chance but with the exception of BO2 everthing was shit IMO.

 

[Soulja]

Doesn't bother me, I think IW looks OK and I know MWR will be played all year round.

It's £70. It's not a free bonus. At that price it's two separate products. It should have come with a digital download code!

If it was £49.99 then sure. But it's not. They are charging for two games and hijacking the game people want, that is the only "scummy" thing going on here, friend.

 

[Daffy Duck]

They have now updated the FAQ again to remove any doubts:

4. Will Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered come as a separate disc?



PlayStation 4
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is a full game digital download that will be included in the Infinite Warfare Legacy Edition and Legacy Pro Edition on PlayStation 4. The digital download is redeemed via a voucher code on an insert in the box. The Infinite Warfare game disc must be inserted to play Modern Warfare Remastered. Internet connection is required.

Xbox One
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered is included on the Infinite Warfare Xbox One disc (no voucher code required) in the Legacy Edition and Legacy Pro Edition of Infinite Warfare. Before Modern Warfare Remastered can be played, an additional download is required. The game disc must be inserted to play Modern Warfare Remastered. Internet connection is required.

Steam
A Steam key will be provided in the Legacy Edition of Infinite Warfare that will provide access to both Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare Remastered. Internet connection is required.

I also see an internet connection is required, so I assume that means the game will not boot if you disconnect from the internet.

Isn't that because all versions, including the Xbox One version, require a download to use?

 

[Sho_Nuff82]

Considering the number of full priced remasters regularly championed on this board, I'm amazed at the amount of whining over am essentially free pack in of the new CoD game.

 

[GasProblem]

There's a trade in program at my local gamshop, where I can hand in two PS4 games and get Infinite Warfare for €17. There's no option for me to buy MW Remastered from within Infinite Warfare right?

 

[Deleted member 325805]

I would have bought CoD 4 in a heartbeat on PC but I have no interest in the new one :/

 

[MrJohnSherry]

I feel like I'm the only person on earth who couldn't care less about the CoD4 remake and only wants IW.

I want both so I'm sort of in the same boat!

 

[Big_Al]

I would have bought CoD 4 in a heartbeat on PC but I have no interest in the new one :/

I would looooove to buy MW4R on PC but I'm still not convinced on how long it will last on PC, especially as a pack in with Infinite Warfare and it doesn't seem to have any of the features like server browser etc that the original release does. So they aren't exactly giving lots of incentive here for the PC community to move from the original version.

Edging towards PS4 for that reason.

I'd wager the game is not on the disk and it installs "a day one update" and much like a BC title you need the IW disk for the "licence"

the meeting probably went like

-How can we get people to buy this game?

-How about we bundle MW1

-Good idea,

-Then if we tie the licence to the IW disk then people won't trade it in meaning the second hand sales will be less.

-Even better idea

-And lets bump it up to £70 for a laugh

-Ooh you evil cunt

I get that and agree, my point is - as it's the only option available, this method should be expected, if they were willing to disassociate the two games by making it a separate download, they would release it standalone to begin with.

They could easily have included a one time download key on a piece of card in the box. This is done for alternate reasons.

People thinking they could buy a disk based game, get a code for mw remastered, get refund or sell disk and then play mw remastered and then are outraged when they can't play said remaster.... Priceless

Everyone I knew would sell it on ebay for $40 - $50. Never thought people could pull off returning it to the store

Wait so the Xbox One version of MW:R comes on the disc, so people can sell both games if they wish, but the PS4 comes as a code and can only really sell IW?

Wonder why they didn't just put the PS4 version on the disc aswell?

It should be noted not all MWR is on XBO disc. Just a bit of it and it still needs to download the rest of it.

Also it's not on PS4 for probably 1 or 2 reasons.

1. The Jackal VR pushed the size to the limit therefore not even a small amount of MWR could fit.
2. It has something to do with the 30 days early access.

 

[paragonpro]

Oh no you'll get two likely good game instead of one for 80 bucks? Sounds terrible...but seriously, i dont see why this is a big deal, your essentially getting mwr for 20 bucks. plus infinite warfare looks great.

 

[ashylarry]

If I buy the physical game and want to sell it later, can I sell both IW and MWR together or can I only sell IW since I already redeemed the code for MWR?

Nope. If you sell IW you can't play MWR anymore.

Cod Still Rakes in Alot of money every year, Activision isn't losing sleep over some cancelled pre-orders. For someone like myself who still enjoys Cod This is a great deal.

 

[SuperEpicMan]

I would bet that 2017's COD is either a remaster of Black Ops, or it comes with one.

Probably mw3 since SHG worked on that one.

One day I'll buy MW:R without ever having owned IW.

It'll be a good day.
