Release it on the switch this fall for $40 with dlc maps included, and I'll almost forgive you Activision for not bringing ww2. Almost.

 

[_SAKY_]

Imma have to go with the big FUCK YOU ACTIVISION in this one.

This is not how you treat a beloved game like COD4. Making people pay for DLC that has already, mostly, been developed for this repurposing and was (likely) previously purchased last gen by your fan base. You give customers no choice, needlessly mandating that this be bought with another title only to now backout of that mandate a year later in what can only be viewed is a final cash grab attempt for this title. You tack on some microtransactions to pad your profit margins. Crap, I can't imagine that fucking with THIS game earned you any brownie points amongst the community as a whole.

I wanted this game something fierce last year and I'm glad that I passed.

 

[Trup1aya]

Lmao, activision drinks too much

 

[privitsan02]

I'd be in day one but I need to know if there's a solid enough player base first... I'm in for WW2 after seeing gameplay so Activision getting my money this year either way.

Best wishes.

 

[Son Of Sparda]

Is this the remaster that added Microtransactions and doesn't even come with DLCs and instead tries to sell the map packs all over again? If so, then I'll happily skip it.

 

[IISANDERII]

Switch owners are paying $60 to play Skyrim and a years-old Mario Kart port. I don't see how MWR is a ripoff by comparison.

Switch owners are accustomed to being ripped off.

 

[Inuhanyou]

Switch owners are accustomed to being ripped off.

that's not even right

 

[Karamsoul]

Yeah fuck that. Not paying anything over 10.

 

[TacticalHotdog]

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.

Not to mention selling it for 5 dollars more than the original release on console. And on PC it was free

 

[JaseMath]

$40? I'd bite at $30...maybe, if it had all the DLC.

Get fucked, Activision.

 

[OriginalPoe]

If you'd dropped this before you announced the idiotic cost of the DLC I might've bitten but HELL NO.

Get fucked Activision.

 

[friskykillface]

Just wait until November , it'll be $20 on Black Friday

 

[Triforce141]

The fact that it's not even some sort of "Gold Edition" that includes the first paid DLC map pack like every CoD has done before since Black Ops 1 by this point in the entry's life cycle, on top of it being $40 USD is so bad.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Does it include the $15 DLC?

 

[border]

Switch owners are accustomed to being ripped off.

There have been $50-60 remasters of Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands, The Last of Us, Deadpool, Kingdom Hearts, Skyrim, Prototype, Bulletstorm, Final Fantasy X, Grand Theft Auto V, Darksiders 1 & 2, Tomb Raider, Injustice, Dishonored, God of War, etc, etc. There have been a few value-oriented bundles like Master Chief Collection or the Uncharted Collection, but by and large remasters are generally pretty close to full price.

I'm not sure how or why we've reached the point where anything more than $30 for last-gen remaster is an outrageous insult. I have no idea why people thought Activision was going to charge like $20 for a remaster of a hugely influential blockbuster with massive nostalgia value. Activision thought zero effort remasters of trash like Deadpool and Marvel Ultimate Alliance were worth $40-50......there's no way in hell they were going to send Modern Warfare straight to the bargain bin. Maybe you don't think MWR is worth $40, but you'd have to be crazy to think the publisher was going to charge less than that.

 

[ghibli99]

You've waited this long... just wait a little longer until holiday sales push this down to $20. By then it might even be XB1X-enhanced.

 

[ScaryShark]

Zero interested in an antiquated multiplayer but I definitely want to pick it up for the campaign when it's cheaper.

 

[Fabtacular]

Will pick this up for $12.50 on digital at some point.

Not sure I'll ever get around to playing it, but that's what it would be worth to me.

 

[RdN]

At 40 bucks, no way.

 

[frontovik]

$20 would have been "reasonable" ... but double that? ActiBlizz can go choke on it.

 

[Velcro Fly]

maybe $20 with no microtransactions and all the DLC

this is literally releasing the same game over again with prettier graphics with the same DLC and microtransactions tacked on.

woof no thanks

 

[ShadowFox08]

$40?? Come on.

Bring this to Switch with pointer/gyro controls and then we'll talk.

pointer/gyro controls with all the dlc maps, and we got a deal.

 

[CREMSteve]

If I wanted this solely for the single player, is it worth a pick up?

 

[Trogdor1123]

It doesn't even include all the dlc?

 

[PooBone]

I don't think I believe this is real.

Even if it is, no sale.

 

[Crash331]

I don't think I believe this is real.

Even if it is, no sale.

Matchmaking had pretty low populations back when I played months ago. It probably needed a shot in the arm to keep up critical mass needed for online play.

 

[dreamfall]

Does this include the map packs?!

I'm happy that maybe this will have more players instead of being held hostage with Infinite Warfare.

 

[yansolo]

lol 40 bux? get outta here, I think its dead on pc anyway

 

[RS4-]

Not sure if I'd bother even if it was $5. But $40? Hahahahaha


Hahahahahaha

 

[TheKeyPit]

$40? Should be half that.

.

 

[Triforce141]

Does it include the $15 DLC?

It doesn't even include all the dlc?

Does this include the map packs?!

Previous CoDs had free DLC included with them sometime after their initial release, signified by an icon on their case

Modern Warfare Remastered has nothing like that on it, so I'm not expecting the Variety Map Pack to be included

 

[Forsaken82]

I can't believe we're at a point where someone thought "best remaster of the year" was really worth highlighting on the front of your damn box. Also seems crazy expensive.

Crazy expensive... for a game that so many people even here on GAF paid 80 dollars for infinite warfare to play and then never touched infinite warfare.

I am sure the fanbase would be more than ok with a 40 dollar version.

 

[RedRum]

Fuck these guys man. I guess between boxing this with IW, the micro-transactions, shitty drops, lag compensation AND fucking kill trades. Don't these guys tire of fucking people over?

 

[Danneee]

Release it on the switch this fall for $40 with dlc maps included, and I'll almost forgive you Activision for not bringing ww2. Almost.

Yeah, I'm not seeing myself buying this on PS4. Switch, probably.

 

[leng jai]

$20 campaign only would be nice.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

Crazy expensive... for a game that so many people even here on GAF paid 80 dollars for infinite warfare to play and then never touched infinite warfare.

I am sure the fanbase would be more than ok with a 40 dollar version.

80 dollars to play it 8 months in advance, along with another game (not our fault that some folks never touched IW) is well worth the price of admission.
This is coming out 4 months before another iteration of COD releases. I bet this will drop down to $20 by then. More reasons for them to milk the desperate.

 

[zeniselv]

After the shitstorm it had, im surprised they didn't include at least some DLC.

 

[Iced Arcade]

at that price at launch... maybe

 

[KnightimeX_Legacy]

I'm going to buy this purely in hopes that we get a Modern Warfare 2 remaster.
MW2 was the best cod ever.

 

[Inceptional]

$40!? Fuck off!!!

 

[RedAssedApe]

ya'll said you'd buy it once it got decoupled

 

[malfcn]

Activision can eat out an ass with a spoon.

 

[the anime man]

If I wanted this solely for the single player, is it worth a pick up?

If it was cheaper, sure. The single player is fine. MP is a microtransaction-filled mess.

 

[Gator86]

Fuck these guys man. I guess between boxing this with IW, the micro-transactions, shitty drops, lag compensation AND fucking kill trades. Don't these guys tire of fucking people over?

You know the answer to this. I bet we see MW2 done in a near identical way soon, unless they can come up with some scummier mechanics to push in there.

 

[Trace]

ya'll said you'd buy it once it got decoupled

None of us said we'd pay $40 for the privilege a year later though.

 

[Zasa]

Don't forget to buy that map pack that costs the same amount as when it was originally released 10 years ago ($15).

Thanks for all the awesome deals, Activision. Always looking out for the consumer.

 

[PhantomThief]

Nahh im good

 

[Ombala]

40$ for a remaster they ruined with Mt, get out!

 

[BigBoss007]

So... Is this stuff real?

I mean, it makes no sense at all for Activision to sell the game for 40€. Even if they are a bunch of jerk$, they know it is too expensive.

Don't they?

 

[Pantz]

Sweet! I'll be buying this so I can delete the digital version off my hdd. What's wrong with $40? I was paying $40 and sometimes more for SNES games in the 90's. And anyway it'll only be $32 with best buy/prime discount.
