The DLC issue? I can go either way on that. In the end, I think that did happen to a certain extent, as Infinite Warfare didn’t exactly light the COD world on fire and more attention was paid to Modern Warfare, but also I don’t think the remaster has gotten to live up to its full potential either, given that it’s been chained to IW for six months with no signs of that changing. When the Modern Warfare remaster was announced, I was worried that it would cannibalize interest from Infinite Warfare, a game that many people didn’t seem all that excited about for a long while. It deserves this kind of spotlight rather than continuing to exist as this weird promotional appendage hanging off of Infinite Warfare. All of this talk is also overlooking the fact that the Modern Warfare remaster is, above all else, extremely good. Releasing it solo would allow the crumbling multiplayer playerbase to rebuild itself, and probably even expand past what it was before with the right promotion. Let players play it over the spring and summer and some of fall before WWII is released in November. Sell the remaster separately for $20 or $30 or whatever make sense. I get why Activision wouldn’t want to split Infinite Warfare and Modern Warfare too close to the holiday, as that would upset players who just purchased the bundle, but five months later? Yeah, it’s time. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered Activisionīut we are now almost six months past the launch of the Infinite Warfare/Modern Warfare combo, and the next Call of Duty, WWII, is about to be revealed and the marketing juggernaut for it will follow after that.
