Have you played COD MW before, all those years ago when it first came out? Before killstreaks and multiplayer shooters were big money?
If not then click the info box below as to why this game is such a big deal, if you have then skip ahead and read on.
The best franchise in history has released it’s ace after 10 years of waiting for a HD polished version of the amazing Call of Duty Modern Warfare it’s finally here. Levels are just as I remember but I had to go back and watch old videos to remind myself just how much of an upgrade they have been given. Textures are much more refined, reflections better colours sharper and wow it has made a difference. ADD IMAGE HERE OF COMPARISON That being said just about everything else seems to be the same, and even when you boot the game a carefully worded pop up tells you just this, we made it look pretty but left the game as it was for you all to enjoy. Okay perhaps they said it a little more elaborate but after a couple of games with a negative kill ratio maps soon came back to me, my old paths I found, the amazing locations I used to use and exploit (no I’m not afraid to say it I camped and killed you all and proud of it) from one side of the room to the other, lean out throw flash bang, shoot and turn around to the other side to await your new spawn to do it all over again, Then move down stairs await your inevitable arrival and grenades upstairs and get you on your way in. Oh the joy of going 25-0. Good times brought back. BUT! They do have some issues that need working out like how long it takes to connect to the servers, and new players will have to accept a low K/D ratio for a while, there will be many players returning to this game knowing as much as I do about the maps and schooling you in the process but the fast and frantic action is back and it’s for all to enjoy. SUMMARY It’s remastered, not remade. We have had a flurry of these titles over the years lately and they have all been good, some more than others but the fact remains, this is old ground, it’s replayability in a bright new setting. Expect the old potential issues with camping, holding areas and simple map knowledge beating you and chipping away at your soul, but learn it and it’s extremely satisfying. For those too young, or somehow missed it, this is a real bonus for you, for the veterans like me, this is a great trip down memory lane that might just take you away from the modern day games to relieve Modern Warfare.I’ve played COD MW before read on:
