Although this isn’t the first time that Modern Warfare 2 weapons have received a buff in Modern Warfare 3 , the October 1 update does look to be one of the most substantial adjustments for a long time. Earlier this year, Warzone decreased the obstructive VFX on Modern Warfare 2 weapons to make them more in line with Modern Warfare 3 weapons, but now many shotguns, handguns, and more are perfectly viable options in the 2023 shooter thanks to the latest rounds of buffs. It’s unclear if this means these updated weapons will become the new Modern Warfare 3 meta , but with Black Ops 6 right around the corner, it could be too l

Whether we wanted it to or not, Modern Warfare Remastered’s position as an add-on rather than a stand-alone experience is but one small symptom of the very business we, as fans, call video games…and others may prefer to call…opportunity. This isn’t an attack on Activision or its fans, but rather an affirmed noting that whatever happens come the end of this year — when the consumer-base has not one, but two [technically] new titles to play — will ultimately play a critical role in further shaping this “beloved” shooter’s fate in the coming years. It’s a role Infinite Warfare may not want to have weighing on its shoulders, but truth be told, it’s one of the most interesting and heated developments this series has taken for quite some time. The power is indeed, this time, in the consumer’s hands.

But if it means a shift in infrastructure as a nice accompaniment to CoD’s current build, why not? Yet if we look at this in the long-term, from a complete series perspective, how will this affect the spread of the entire player-base and as a result, would this ultimately alter the possible player-count for Infinite Warfare’s activity across its many iterations? It’s unclear whether or not the next entry will follow along similar lines and continue to support previous-gen consoles, but while Ghost’s PS3/Xbox 360 releases could be regarded as developer uncertainty on the popularity of new consoles at the time, its safe to say seeing Black Ops 3 not a total eighth-gen title was boggling given the sizeable sales figures of both PS4 & Xbox One units by 2015. As such, if this remaster goes one step further and evolves into a full three-game series collection, will this only spread the player-base further? Thinning it into numerously ongoing titles and thus, raise an interesting debate on whether past or present ideals are in fact the more popular go-to for an annual multiplayer shoot-fest?

Oh, no way, the music is awesome. Our audio director and I were just talking about this before the trip and I said ‘What did we do to the music? I just want to be clear because people are going to ask about it?’ He was like ‘are you kidding me? I wouldn’t touch the f’ing music with a 10 foot pole.’ So I was like ‘Okay, I wanted to be clear.’ So no remixing, it’s possible that we’ve done some cleanup. I know that for the VO we felt that that was very iconic, but for the radio VO it was very hard to hear some of it. So we took out some of the static so it was clearer, but I know that was another area where we were like ‘it’s pretty good. Lets not mess with that.’

Though that title alone doesn’t do the game justice. The game is a thrilling survival experience on a beast-ridden Skull Island. Ammo is scarce and often makes players grab anything they can to fend for themselves. It was a tension-wrought experience, packed with great moments and well-crafted gameplay. It was a game that never got the chance to grace a Nintendo console, so let it find a way on the Swi

So…Infinite Warfare huh? A far-flung space-based voyage that may be seen as the ultimate in future sci-fi transitioning for the lucratively-successful FPS game Strategy franchise. Pardon me if my words look or even sound flat, but we’ve been here plenty times before: a reveal of a rather (it has to be said) obtuse intensity that surprises no one yet still locks fans in deep, deep debate. Some relish the new look, others are a lot less pleased. Yet it’s Modern Warfare Remastered that seems to be the talk of the town over Infinity Ward’s new title. A supposed return to what many perceive as the best entry in the series — a game that revolutionized the first-person shooter and gave birth to an online multiplayer system that still persists to this very day. And while many may take to the word “remaster” with a possible rolling of the eyes (for understandably good reason), is a bundled-in return to Call of Duty 4’s setting, premise and very nature of modern military shooting really all that bad?
