Fuck it, Activision, if you bundle all the multiplayer maps and modes together from all the previous CoDs, I would buy that collection.
Activision is Considering Remastering Old Call of Dutys
- Thread starter Steven Bogos
- Start date
CoD 1 and 2, I'd be COMPLETELY in, as long as the multiplayer was just like it was on those, with no ranks nor killstreaks and all that, CoD 4 was fine but they went a bit too far with the later ones.
Seeing a helmet pop up in the far far away building, and getting the shot with a Kar98k iron sights was the shit, and still is.

I must be foolish then, interpreting it as dismissing the old ones in hopes of hyping up the (potential) remaster with his very blunt language on the first, unbiased read. I concede.Bindal said:
Or just a World War II Call of Duty made by Treyarch. The story moved on in Black Ops, and World at War had no possible sequel hooks (at least for World War II, the U.S. soldiers could do Korea I suppose).Hairless Mammoth said:
I really loved CoD2, the multiplayer in that was just so stable and skill played so much more than just quickscoping. Dropping someone with iron sight bolt-action rifle was right immersive.
I'm certain there are many other Campaigns they could work with. Would like to see more Africa and Italy rather than constant rehashes of Normandy and Bulge.

Ohg dear god we have reached the Singularity...we've always said they werejust releasing the same old COD games year after year with just a few gimmick tweaks and graphics ... now they literally will be releasing the same old COD games with graphics and gimmics tweaks. the serpent has bitten it's tail. The human centipede has been sown to it's own ass.
I've got an open question for anybody here who has played a lot of CoD multiplayer:
You can acquire upgrades for multiplayer, right? I don't mean in-game care packages and stuff, I mean uniforms and vests, different LBE (load bearing equipment), ammo pouches, that sort of stuff. Does any of that come into play? I mean, can you add extra ammo pouches and have access to said extra ammo during matches?
I've never played any multiplayer deathmatch except for the first Halo because I'd rather be playing a compelling campaign. So are there options like ceramic trauma plates or alternate body armor like Dragon Skin? I guess it would be very hard to balance matches if stuff like that came into play.

Regarding the article, part of me wants Activision to just remake these older games, but what would be the point in remaking an older game if it's unchanged, essentially just an HD reskin? Would that make their longtime customers happy? Would these same people be angered by buying something that could have been done for free via mods?
I suspect that a remake of an older CoD would have to be made differently in order to placate players who would be angry at the lack of new content. The games would almost certainly have to be different, right?

Yes, this! This is exactly what I'm talking about. If Activision would listen to its customers I bet they could get away with a remaster. But part of me just knows that the above would probably never happen. It's the same with me and the original Ghost Recon. All I remember is losing the ability to play as any team member in the later games, and I lost interest in the series. Ubisoft will probably never do that again, but as to why, I'll never know.Andy Shandy said:
You know what? Fucking good. I've been saying for years that they should just re-release Modern Warfare because they always seem to want to make the Pripyat level with- Oh, it's the early ones (though to be fair, the guys being ambiguous).
Well, I'm honestly pumped to see them in the new engine, especially Big Red One, a game I adored as a child and refuse to play now because I don't want to ruin my Nostalgia. I don't think it's a bad thing, as long as it's just an aesthetic clean up, it shouldn't be too bad. At least we'll get British, Canadian, and Russian campaigns again (Even if they're what we've already played). Hey, maybe this will spark something within one of the eighty-trillion companies that are licensed to make CoD to do something back in the Second World War with a new setting we don't usually see (like the Chindiks of Burma or the Invasion of Iceland).

"Remastered" is a market they can exploit the nostalgia crowd with. With their (CoD, etc) sales on a steady decline, they figure the early CoD crowd would go berserk at the chance to play a remastered version of their first experiences.SupahGamuh said:
No way, Call of Duty World at War (despite all the odd tre-arch hate) is a awesome game by them. Really loved the game, had a great pace and interesting characters. I didn't get to play 2 but I heard it's one of the better ones in the series along with 4?Mike Richards said:
Thats actually a really good idea. Remastering the first 3 Cod. That would be some sick stuff right there. I'd guess the new gen of kids wouldn't like the old multiplayer though.
...to one every three months once Actiblizzion starts looking in Telltale's direction and realizes that episodic FPSes are possible. Which means that Ubisoft's going to follow along for AssCreed or For Honor.Veldie said:
The future looks bleak.
I know this is silly, but it does have faint and worrying airs of possibility.
I love re-releases because they bring old games back into availability, SD games look terrible on a HD tv so the improvement there is obvious, but also improved frame rates, faster loading times etc...
This is different however, pretty much all the major COD games have a PC version, they all run at 60fps, their multiplayer modes still function, they all still look good, there's not a lot of point for this franchise, at least until a new version of Windows breaks them.
I could maybe see a bundle like the Halo Master Chief collection thing for console players, but gaming history and nostalgia tends to be a trait among PC gamer.

Haha, only the graphics haven't changed a whole lot since the last generation. There is no significant difference between COD: Modern Warfare to the latest one. As a PC gamer, this is ridiculously apparent. They haven't made giant leaps and bounds since Modern Warfare came out. Now, if we were talking about remastering Call of Duty 1 and 2, there would be a huge graphical leap. But we aren't. We are talking about putting out the minimum amount of work for a full priced title.
Also.... didn't they blow the shit out of Guitar Hero by releasing several new titles per year?

I wouldn't mind a Modern Warfare 1 & 2 redux packed together, with dlc included. Relive some old splitscreen deathmatches with friends.
The only customisation options with any effect on gameplay are weapon modifications and perks, and perks sometimes have a visual result, too. Use a sniper rifle, your character wears a ghillie suit, for example, but for the most part, everyone carries the same amount of ammunition. If you have the Stopping Power perk, you do more damage. If you have Hardline, you need one less kill in a streak to earn a reward. Basic stuff. I don't expect the developers to know what ceramic trauma plates are.Frezzato said:
And I've played a lot of multiplayer. I swear, I only did it because my friends wanted to play with me...and, outside of World at War, it got old...fast.
I'd be all for the remastering of some of the games. I didn't think I'd like Halo: The Master Chief Collection and then I actually played it and realised it was all of the fun with none of the technical drawbacks. But I guess that's because you can have a particular playstyle and it feels varied - my biggest issue with the games centred around modern or future warfare is that all the guns are the bloody same. They all have varying degrees of being fully automatic and some of them have more bullets. There's no art to the design and it's all just really, really dull. Does my enemy have an M4A1, an AK-47, a Galil, a Tar-21? It doesn't fucking matter, they all spray bullets and my tactic is invariably going to be "shoot them first."
