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.”

VERY disappointed with the new arriving Call of Duty. Enough is enough. I don't want anymore of this shit. It's starting to look like Destiny for crying out loud. I'm going to get it for the simple fact it has zombies (The only promising aspect of my Call of Duty experience, besides BO2 and below) and getting it for the other fact that it will have Call of Duty 4 Remastered.

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

Just shows that theyre probably going to lack on the online updates.


Yes I agree, me as a gamer that would put me off playing the game and other of course. I feel like the game is going to die down in matter of months and just have the Cod4 game as a active cod.

£70 for a game which they say has 'kinda cool' features and Modern Warfare. Smells like someones done little work on a new title and just freshened up an old one.

They say they're giving the fans what they want and it'll be a historic year for the company.. Historically garbage, yes.

Ill be spending alot more time on cod 4 anyway, from the trailers it looks so sick!

COD 4 will be the better game, but people will still play infinite warfare due to the fact that competitive cod will be played on there.
