Activision Not worried if players spend more time on MW Remastered

4.5
Speaking with Forbes, Activision’s Rob Kostich (Executive Vice President and General Manager of the Call of Duty franchise) has revealed some new information about the reasonings behind bringing back Call of Duty 4.

Activision deciding to bring back Call of Duty 4 came from hearing fan feedback, and with Infinity Ward’s new title coming this year, it was the perfect time to do so.


“We’ve heard the community loud and clear the last couple of years,” said Rob Kostich. We thought it would be a perfect opportunity to celebrate Call of Duty and the community, where we’re going and where we’ve been and bring it together in one package. From an overall offering, an overall value proposition, I think what we’re giving to the community this year is frankly unprecedented in Call of Duty history”.

But in order to get Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered players must buy the Legacy or Digital Legacy (or higher) editions of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare.

Kostich said that the team at Activision is not worried about players playing Modern Warfare Remastered more than Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Infinity Ward’s studio head, Dave Stohl, also made that point in the interview, stating that players get two different games in one bundle.
“It was important for us to be authentic to what fans want,” Kostich told me. He isn’t worried that players may spend more time playing more Modern Warfare multiplayer than Infinite Warfare. “We’re thrilled they’re going to be playing a lot of Call of Duty this year,” he says.

“If you think about it, basically they scratch two different itches,” Stohl adds. ”You’re gonna scratch the kind of more nostalgia Modern Warfare itch with the remaster, but all the kinda cool new stuff in Infinite Warfare is really exciting too. Obviously the Infinite Warfare experience is big with all the new bells and whistles, but it’ll be fun to go back to Modern Warfare multiplayer as well.”

If they're not worried about the online progress why should we care on buying the game?

They're not worried about the time spent on the game, they're more worried about how much they make and how much they sell.

A69 There only saying it because of the feedback from the IW trailer


Why would they? CoD sells millions of copies and generates nearly a half billion in revenue in the first month of their title's release. Infinite Warfare looks pretty fun and we already know CoD4 is too. If people are going to piss and moan about a franchise but still buy the product anyways, what's the point?

You already payed for the bundle of course they dont care which one you spend your time on

VoroPosted:

Good, cause I know I'm going to be playing cod 4

ObiwonPosted:

I think its bs they aren't selling them separately but honestly you can get it for $64 dollars rather than the $79.99 on Amazon Prime so your basically paying the standard cost with tax for both games.

Of course they aren't worried. MW remastered is more hyped than the last 2 CoD's put together. They knew what would happen.
