The leaderboards on PS4 have more than 3 million players on them so that edition didn't do too badly.
I just think a lot of people that hardly ever buy games will buy this out of nostalgia.

I'm gonna share it with a co-worker, so it's basically 20 bucks for me. Day one, I need some old school call of duty action.

Remember when people substituted the S in Microsoft with a Dollar sign? I guess now it's Activision's turn for that :/

I don't really care and I don't many others will. The people who were dying for it bought it last year, and considering the $40 price, bad rep this game has gotten, etc... this just isn't as big of a deal as it should have been. They blew doing MW Remastered any justice.
Seriously considering not buying WWII (even though it looks ok) because of what Activision has made this franchise become.

It looks lame on the front of the cover, put it at least on the back or something.
$29.99 would have been more reasonable, $40 is a stretch though I reckon it will still sell decently.
Good news for me though since I haven't bought it yet and liked the game.

These days, I basically play CoD only for the single player experiences, which I tend to love. For multiplayer, I greatly prefer the Battlefield series. If you'd take away all my multiplayer shooters except Battlefield 4 and Titanfall 2, I wouldn't even be mad I guess.

$40 with microtransactions, fuck that. I'm good.

Not port begging. Just stating that that's the only platform on which they could really justify $40. After all, it wouldn't be the first time this game has had a special version released on a Nintendo console (everybody remember Modern Warfare Reflex).

In ten years maybe. Activision is incredibly stingy with Call of Duty, even on PC where the games don't sell particularly well.

These shits pulled a bait and switch with the old, "call of duty 4 exactly as you remember it!!"

Damn, was hoping for this, but I can't spare $60 (CND) on this remaster. Also 2-18 players? I didn't know they upped the player count on this game. Not a fan of that.

you can get a key on cdkeys for $10
Please don't buy it - they changed the original game and introduced microtransactions on top of that. Don't reward developers that do this.
Exactly.

Does it even come with the Variety Pack DLC?

Infinite Warfare is $10 on there too for that matter. Legacy Edition is like $32, but still a better deal than this joke standalone release.
Got the version with IW on PC (didn't pay for it). Pretty damn good remaster as far as the campaign is concerned.
Graphics basically look like a modern PS4 game but its almost perfectly faithful to the original COD4 look. The real surprise is how much better the sound design is. The weapons all feel way better because of the new audio. PC settings are dope too, except the vsync which sucks just as much as it did in the original COD4.

Isn't it just $20 more for Infinite Warfare that it comes with? And that game itself gets discounted?

The player count wasn't increased, Ground War allows for lobbies of up to 18 players.
Well you had to pay for it separately with the remaster when it was bundled with IW, so I'm going to venture a guess and say no way in hell. It's really pretty incredible that Activision thought it was okay to sell a decade old map pack separately instead of just bundling it in with the game like every other dev in the world. You can't get more greedy than that.

I really wanted to buy this, but with Microtransactions, I'm might skip out on this. How bad are the Microtransactions and what do they do? Do they make it unplayable?

No thanks, too expensive.

I've been playing IW and MW since they launched, bought the super duper deluxe edition with season pass and all that jazz.
IW is actually extremely accessible, I've never paid a single $ for COD points and every day I get different bonuses, there are a lot of 2X xp weekends, and I JUST hit prestige level 1 after what, 8 months? I've never felt like anything I wanted was out of grasp, I'm not a weapon fiend or anything but there are tons of weapons and camos I've unlocked and bought chests for, using currency I unlocked in game.
MW on the other hand, almost everything feels weighted behind a massive grind. There is no daily login bonus, so you have to play to earn. I'm "only" level 25 (no prestige), so I haven't played a crazy amount but I've played a bit. I don't think I have enough points to buy a single chest, and I've bought 30+ in IW. On the other hand, it doesn't feel like I am missing anything by not unlocking stuff. All of it seems to be camos and costumes and visual stuff, the list of weapons is very small it feels like compared to other COD games.
The only gripy thing is the DLC map is an extra $15, I feel like owning the IW season pass I should have gotten access to the MW dlc maps for free. Again, not a huge deal and I've never had a problem finding a game. The game modes seem more limited too.
It especially makes MW pale a bit, for me, when Infinite warfare introduced tactical mode which basically forces boots on the ground. Jump jets are heavily diminished and it takes only 1 or 2 bullets to kill someone so it feels less frantic and hectic to play in that mode.
Both games seem heavily played on PS4 at least, no problems really getting into games for team deathmatch (tactical and normal) although I don't know how well played other game modes are. I haven't done any hardcore stuff.

Yes, we all remember how Zakhaev started the war in Iraq and detonated a nuke once U.S. forces reached the palace, only for him to die on a bridge in Russia after a failed attempt to launch more warheads.
Personally I think Soap should have spoken to the U.N about the dangers of war and nuclear proliferation after he shot Zakhaev, but you know, Soap is a man of few words...

Price is hilarious but GCU+$5 and Im in. Been dying to play this, but wasn't about to shell out $60+ to play it. IW's campaign was an awesome redbox rental though.

I played it as much as I did Infinite Warfare.
Which was not much at all. Junk.
I had high hopes for both, but last year finally killed CoD for me.

How on Earth does this not have all the maps included
The starting price is just a "why not" tryout to see if it sells that high, if it does, obviously it won't be lowered.
Because they don't lose anything if they try high first, the ones who really want it will eventually buy it at 20$ whether or not they tried it at 40$ in the beginning.
