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.”

OMG. We got the **** game back and people are still bitching. Of course they are going to charger for it and anything they release for it. They have to take the time and money to update the graphics and game codes to run on the new dedicated servers and everything its going to be a great cod 4 experience and i'm not gonna cry over 20 bucks. 99$ gets you 2 games and the season pass now how can people be mad?

Well of course they wouldn't be... they still made a lot of money regardless lol

George-W-Bush Yeah because there gonna make you pay for dlc's on the last ten maps that they don't release with the game.


I was thinking the same thing, such a slimey tactic making us pay for DLC that has already been made. Talk about doing a remaster wrong.

Lost I can't wait to see more of both. I can't imagine Infinite Warfare outdoing MW remastered.


A piece of shit halo knockoff beating probably the best cod in the series? Lol no.

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


I thought the exact same thing when I saw this. I couldn't wait to get MW and now those comments have pushed me away even more. Before this I've had my mind made up that I'm buying a hard copy of the special edition so I can return IW, but now I almost don't want to buy it for MW at all.

I had such high hopes for new gen console games but I feel all I'm left with now is future battlefields, forza, maybe gears if it's not like their beta, and if it happens a rainbow six Vegas 3. Oh and rocket league, it never seems to get boring and I thought it would be a little side game to pass the time

lol? "celebrating the cod community" by making the community buy infinite warfare in order to get cod 4? I'll be getting infinite warfare anyway, but this is just lying by not admitting that it's to make the more pricey version of your new game more appealing.
