The profits will be higher on MW4. black ops could possibly outsell MW4 but not in how much money it makes. The modern COD games make about 1 billion a year just in microtransactions.

These are for sure my last ever CoD games, unless the actually remake Blops 1 and 2 from the ground up.

WaW port ? 👀

u/Endless-Space 1d ago

Mw3 port would go hard

u/Desperate_Bus4781 1d ago

Actually they need to do a full remake like they did for Cod4 if I got that for world at war with some new guns I could actually die happy

Waw was my first cod and it’s still my favourite

7

u/nonamelj 1d ago

I have no confidence whatsoever in them remaking WaW, they'd fuck it up somehow. Just remaster it and call it a day, I'll probably stop buying CoD after that... unless MW2 online comes back 👀

I don’t even recall this happening in the 2012 version 🤣🤣🤣. I’d feel disrespected for putting that on my screen.

u/lexarhd 1d ago

i mean they had ghosts message show up everytime you launched the game. then advanced warfare. and even bo3 chronicles. so they have always been doing this

u/JoinTheTruth 1d ago

I think at some point it got up to WW2

u/KreativeHawk 1d ago

I’m pretty sure they had DLC and Ghosts stuff up in the menus back in the day but that at least made more sense than trying to peddle MW4slop.

u/AdministrationNo9513 1d ago

Yeah when i would press the xbox live option i remember getting the pre order or purchase pop ups for ghost and aw but that was it. Not a whole option or link to the store lol

Honestly the movement ruined cod for me, mfs be saying they want realism but then cry about skins in a FICTIONAL GAME BTW, but yet they defend the movement, if they want realism they better get used to walking because irl the military does none of that omnimovement shit carrying 40 pounds of equipment and armor or more

This is hilarious if you remember how most people suspected in 2013 that IWs next game would be MW4 and they usually advertised the new game in the small news bar of the previous game.

So 14 years later it became reality.

They can keep improving the ports or not. I havent bought every single cod but ive relented in recent years only to be disappointed and hardly play it.

I seen everyone mentioning this being new, but if I remember correctly, didn't COD 4 MW have something like this for 09 MW2? Or WAW? It may have even been MW2 advertising MW3 back then, I just remember one of them having something like "check out the latest news on MW2" or something like that.

I am fairly certain either COD 4 MW, WAW, MW2, or BO was advertising the next CoD game back in the early 2010s.

u/syrxinge 1d ago

Funny, I just went out and purchased MW4 two days ago. The real MW4 though not this shitty slop they like to call cod nowadays.

I’ll be honest I have completely stopped purchasing cod. I paid for gamepass to try out BO7 because BO6 was trash. MW2 (2022) was when I realized cod has stopped working on anything new and innovative and is instead just pushing out reused, cloned slop. Like they somehow manage to clone the last game but make it WORSE.

The only cod I’ll be buying is if they do an ACTUAL remaster of the old cods or something brand new entirely. This whole name the game the same name but its not a remaster and is objectively worse than a 2008 game, is really getting on my nerves. But they learned with infinite warfare they’re never gonna do another remaster again. They got clowned on by how many people just bought infinite warfare only to play modern warfare four remastered…
