Well, this is bottom of the barrel.
Can't get a new name. It's in a different timeline from the other Modern Warfare games, but dredges up the same characters. Also by the looks of things, it's treating the setting like it's still 2007, back when the US had the will and power to project over various countries (for good or ill), and where the UK's biggest threat wasn't from being torn apart itself. And "grabbed from the headlines" missions. Because, y'know, that worked so well with Warfighter. Also, call me naieve if you must, but when I think of the biggest threats facing the world today, terrorism no longer comes to mind.
And yet it'll make a billion because it's called "Modern Warfare," and the familiar sells.
Whenever COD is involved, I always thinks of this:
Though the same could be said for AssCreed and Far Cry as well.
Yeah, but technically doesn't it work?
Whatever changes those franchises may or make not make, it's apparently working from a monetary perspective.
They change some things, but not much.
"Oh look, the last two AC games and FC: New Dawn have RPG mechanics that does not add much overall, other than more padding and grinding."
"We're back with our shallow attempt by going back to WWII. No, now we're doing Battle Royale, and single-player is dead. Except it's not dead, and here's a remake of a game that acts like it is 2007 all over again. Even though we re-released the original for steeper price and took what was free or cheap dlc on last gen and charged it on current gen console. Only to end back on the same name for a franchise that did not need rebooting and is pulling a Need for Speed."
Whatever "changes" they make are so minuscule and makes each entry all the more shallow. Especially since the unholy trio want to treat most of their properties as "live services". This is why I don't buy from either of these studios anymore. I tend to feel sorry for people who play only those games and nothing else, because they miss out on the best parts of gaming, and ever memories they have is just either going to be multiplayer session and nothing about story or characters. I remember my own share of online session, but I am not going to let it be my only gaming memory.
You have point, this is just me ranting.
