"Modern Warfare Remastered is our biggest bonus content ever"

4.3
Activision surprised everyone when they announced Modern Warfare Remastered as part of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare’s special editions (Legacy, Legacy Pro and Digital Deluxe) contents.

This enhanced version of the game, developed by Raven Software, will come with the original campaign mode as well as a selection of 10 among the most popular multiplayer maps. In an interview with Venturebeat, Activision CEO Eric Hirshberg talked about Modern Warfare Remastered as the biggest bonus content ever produced for Call of Duty. Between this and Infinite Warfare proper, Hirshberg believes fans will be satisfied.

It’s our biggest bonus content ever, our most valuable bonus content. We’ve had collector’s editions that have been creative and well-received. But this is taking the place of things in the past like night-vision goggles or GoPro cameras or Juggernaut refrigerators for your game room. This year we’re offering an entire remastered, beautiful version of one of the greatest games of all time.

We’re thrilled to offer it to the community, because we do know there are people who love and appreciate that classic gameplay, and of course, it offers a way to satisfy all of our fans, no matter which style of gameplay they’re looking for. The combination of the two games is really what drove us. We have a new creative vision for Infinite Warfare paired with one of our most beloved games brought to life in a new way.


Hirshberg then acknowledged that the making of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered as bonus content for Infinite Warfare was only possible thanks to the three year development cycle approved by Activision, which now involves Infinity Ward as well as Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games.

There are plenty of benefits, starting with all the innovations you see in Infinite Warfare. Figuring out how to make zero-G gameplay as fun as you’ve seen in the E3 reveal, making the dogfighting work in space. Just the fact that this is the first non-Treyarch title that has Zombies on the disc, and it’s a full, deep Zombies mode with lots of breadth and depth done by Infinity Ward with a fresh creative take on it — those are all benefits of the three-year cycle.

But certainly we never would have been able to offer this in the same collector’s edition SKU alongside Modern Warfare Remastered if we didn’t have that extra time to get this stuff right. Especially something like Modern Warfare Remastered. You can’t do that lightly. It’s one of those games that’s sort of carved into Mount Rushmore. We have to sweat every pixel, and that’s what the team has done.


Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare launches November 4th on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

Yeah he's a good troll. An "entire" remaster yet we only get half of the maps. Haha good one bud.

Sorry but for me to have to buy infinity warfare to get this, is not worth it.

LostPosted:

Modern Warfare Remastered isn't enough to get me to buy Infinite Warfare. It's just not enough reason to purchase it. I'll wait till I can just buy it separately.

Not going to be buying IW just for the sake of having COD4 remastered. I will wait until they eventually sell it as a standalone because it's inevitable.

bsmPosted:

Biggest buying point of a COD as well.

XboxPosted:

Yea the remastered MW is the only cod I'm looking forward to playing.

Halo I am hoping to purchase MW on ebay or something after Infinite Warfare releases, since I don't want to buy the game just for this although it's tempting.


I heard you need to use the IW disc to be able to play MW. I may be wrong though


I would be shocked if you did not need IW like the person above said. This is a billion dollar company they arent morons, almost guarantee youll have to boot into IW's UI and there will be an option for COD4 there.


That can't be the case because PS4 gets the Single player portion a whole month before release. It will be a stand alone game.


Yeah I think it is a separate executable. Also I doubt anyone would sell their MW code. If anything people would sell their IW for next to nothing.
