Ha ha ha, yeah right, they're totally going to sell it down the line as a separate dow--hey wait why are you guys all buying Infinite Warfare NO YOU'RE FALLING RIGHT INTO THE KOTICK TRAP

 

[tokyocrusher]

Lol no thank you

 

[Fata1moose]

That's fine, I'll just circumvent the bullshit and get a code off of ebay or something.

 

[Dominator]

People are saying it's dumb, but you don't cannibalize your new game like that right at launch by selling two different games, one of which is going to be cheaper. Bet they release it 2-3 months after launch. 6 months max.

 

[Revolutionary]

Just wait for the bargain bins you fools

 

[Chola]

for now

 

[Mass Effect]

The official FAQ says it is a separate download, so I doubt that.

Okay good.

 

[Drencrom]

Before MW remastered is official : I WOULD SERIOUSLY PAY$100 IF YOU REMASTER THIS GAME.
After MW remastered is official: Am i fuck paying $60 for this game!!

I'm pretty sure no one actually said this.

Also, it's not $60, it's $80 for the edition with MW remastered.,

 

[Bsigg12]

Lol @ everyone thinking the MW remaster will come with a download code. Activision is gonna make you have to access the remaster within IW. No code.

It'll be a code no matter what. They have to have some sort of way of getting the download to you. Now if it's considered DLC to Infinite Warfare is the real question because then you would need the IW disc to play MWR.

 

[KKRT00]

Good luck on PC, not that it had any real chance to sell even decent.

 

[Nzyme32]

I'll place a bet:

MWR will be available separately at a much later date - perhaps even along with other COD games

 

[witness]

Smart move by Activision. It'll be sold separately eventually, but fuck waiting.

 

[Aequitas]

Don't count on it. Watch it be that you can only launch it from Infinity Warfare.

Plan B:
1. Buy from Amazon
2. Return if Activision pulls this shit

 

[FantasticMrFoxdie]

yea. .01% chance in hell they wont sell this seperately at some point.

Too much money to be made lol

 

[Liamario]

Significant number of maps not included and then it's not sold separately. No thanks.

 

[DeadlyParasite]

I doubt it. They'd be stupid not to 6-12 months after launch when the hype for IW fades. Regardless the only way I'll ever buy it is if it comes separately. If that means never and I have to wait till my bones crumble and dry out then so be it.

 

[Sn4ke_911]

 

[LordBaztion]

ok, give me BC then. lol
Still buying IW, used, in two years; or digital for $15.

 

[LooseLips]

What if MW is only loadable through IW... lol

I would have thought that's exactly what will happen. The remaster is a digital code. If you buy the disc version, you'll need the disc in your drive to play.

 

[Portugeezer]

Of course it will.

Just not at launch...

 

[GHG]

I won't even play IW.

This is hilarious.

 

[Shep572]

Worst case, I'll just buy them both and resell infinite warfare

 

[rokkerkory]

Will buy for the Xbox One.5

 

[Raide]

Biggest issue for me is even if I can get the COD4 code separated from IW, they are guaranteed to sell the CoD4 maps in IW DLC packs.

ok, give me BC then. lol
Still buying IW, used, in two years; or digital for $15.

Activision will probably block this on Xbox One BC.

 

[mreddie]

So they are, fucking scummy

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

There's going to be less people than you think spending $80 solely for a MW remaster with less content than the original.

And little Joe's mum is just going to buy the $60 version she's always gotten Joe.

Bruh, little Joe is gonna make sure his momma gets him the Legacy Edition or little Joe is gonna throw a fit. Activision knows how thirsty everyone is for that Remaster.

 

[zelas]

Buy and trade people, buy and trade. You could probably get 45$ for IW right away.

100%. Thank god for GCU!

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Was going to preorder it anyway on the cheapest Marketplace for Xbox One.

 

[blue_phazon]

Welp there goes my interest

 

[Xav]

Timed exclusive confirmed.

 

[bounchfx]

pass

 

[CrimsonEclipse]

Wow...dammit I had no intentions of getting IW but really want that remaster. Those fuckers...they got me.

Guess I'll either get this on XB or PC. Can't say I'm all surprised by Activision pulling this off.

 

[Jawmuncher]

Eh, still bet it'll be sold solo later. They were pretty vague and didn't commit to saying it will forever tied only to IW. Why say it'll be solo later on when you want to force people to buy your new game atm. I recall they said the same thing about COD Classic.

 

[Fbh]

I don't know why people expected otherwise. Its purpose is to drive sales of their latest game, not canibalize it.

This.

I still think it will be sold as a standalone eventually (probably once they start releasing DLC for it)

 

[H3xum]

If you stop and think about it, it makes sense. They release is separately and they are competing against themselves. Sure there are people that will buy both separately if they were to split it but obviously not every single person. Wait a year then they will release it against whoever is doing the next iteration in the series

 

[_woLf]

I'm super confused about this since they put the time in to doing multiplayer maps.

Very very strange decision.

 

[Bgamer90]

I don't know why people expected otherwise. Its purpose is to drive sales of their latest game, not canibalize it.

My thoughts exactly.

 

[najehe]

Okay, so buy it at best buy for 20% off and then sell infinite still wrapped up for about 50-55? Sounds like a plan.

That won't work. You will have to open it to get the digital code for MW. So reselling the game will net you around $35 give or take $5 depending on if you GCU.

 

[Collateral22]

Did anyone actually believe they would? lol

 

[RK9039]

Well I guess I'll pass then, I won't be buying Infinity and Beyond.

 

[jorgejjvr]

is it downloadable only or physical?

 

[NeonBlack]

Give it a few months after release. They're not willing to leave money on the table.

 

[Daffy Duck]

is it downloadable only or physical?

Download only.

 

[M.W.]

cdkeys will have a ton of them for cheap me bets

 

[TheHater]

Well the had be a catch. Can't have the remaster outperforming the new COD this holiday.

 

[DoctorFling]

Expected but still disappointing.

 

[Hippopuncher12]

Expected and that's fine with me.

 

[TimeEffect]

Will MW:R be a code? Or will it be accessible in the menu screen of Infinite Warfare?

If it's the latter, fuck that.

 

[Turkoop]

Activision, you really love the smell of money, what a shitty company.

 

[Afro]

*terminator voice*

no deal.
