considering after the endless bitching everyone still buys the game anyway i still cant believe that anyones surprised that activision doesnt bend over for anyone here theyve made absolutely no attempt in the past ten years to hide the fact that theyre milking the ever living shit out of the franchise. they dont care. I'm only buying this Legacy edition because I can sell Infinite Warfare on eBay and end up paying only around $20 for the Remaster. If they end up requiring the Infinite Warfare game disc to playing the Remaster, I'm canceling my preorder. I have zero tolerance for their bullshit, and I've never spent an extra dime past retail on any of these games. If you have zero tolerance for bullshit why are you pre-ordering, since pre-ordering is about 100% bullshit.

because they give you shit for preordering and if hes gonna buy it anyway then he doesnt lose anything the stigma against preordering makes sense when you genuinely arent sure whether a game will be good or not, but everyone here should know what the next five call of duty games are gonna be like. You get beta access. Anything else? @godmars isn't going to buy it guaranteed, because he said he only wants it if he can sell IW. But this contingency is unknown. So pre-ordering when you have a contingency for your purchase that is unknown at the time of pre-order seems silly.

The last 10 or so games I've bought, I got all of the "pre-order" bonuses when buying them long after their release date.

If you have zero tolerance for bullshit why are you pre-ordering, since pre-ordering is about 100% bullshit. I got the destiny blacksmith shader code for pre-ordering Advanced Warfare. And sold it about 12 months later on ebay for $100 (and i could have got more as people were paying obnoxious money for it), which was the cost of advanced warfare +$40. I will note that that was never my plan. I didn't have Destiny and only kept the receipt with the code on it because I keep receipts in the game cases of all my games. When I started playing Destiny - I found out the value of the blacksmith shader and decided I've rather sell it than use it. I now watch for pre-orders that come with things that might end up being worth more than the game itself. Edit: And they're now selling for $150+. This is why games have micro-transactions; people will pay dumb amounts of money for exclusive goodies.

How fast will you cancel that preorder when it's confirmed that you need the IW disc to play the remaster?

I hope this is a trend, and we get MW2 "remastered" in 4K for the next gen consoles next year. (Yes I can go fire it up in 4K on my PC right now, and maybe get into a single TDM lobby with high odds of an aimbot or wallhack showing up at least once if I play enough games...)

I don't understand the CoD hate at all. Other than MW3 and Ghosts I've loved every game in the series. Supply Drops containing non-cosmetics (and ugly, childish cosmetics) are horrible, but at least in BO3 they only broke the game at close range for a few months instead of breaking the game at all ranges forever. And even with that wretchedness AW is still my favorite in the series. Firefights are so much more satisfying when you can fuckin' MOVE.

Hate to burst your bubble, but there is no way next gen is going to run native 4k gaming. The first gpu capable of 60fps 4k gaming came out like one month ago, and it costs about $1200. 2k max, if console gamers are very lucky. I'm thinking native 1440p, upscaling to 2k. I'm more interested if consoles get faster refresh rates.

Native, upscaled, whatever, it will look better than what we have now. Yes I have heard it may not be true 4K or whatever.
The Titan XP is needed to push 4K for new games (on PC, not necessarily consoles) but old games like MW1/2 run at 4K on my 970 right now. It's the ultimate pre-order beta access, you just have to buy the game eight years before it releases.

native 1440p, upscaling to 2k 1920 (~2000) x 1080 = 2k 2560 (~2500) x 1440 = 2,5k 3840 (~4000) x 2160 = 4k 5120 (~5000) x 2880 = 5k 7680 (~8000) x 4320 = 8k 1440p is just double 720p, which doubles again to 5k. 1080p is 2k, doubles to 4k, doubles again to 8k. It's kinda obvious what the next increases would be beyond that (10k and 16k, 16k being funny since it's closer to 1500 across), but we aren't going to see any of that soon. 8k isn't coming for a while either. 5k has been around for a bit. I think apple has some mac with a 5k screen. Let's be real here, the PS4 pro is just a disappointment. It's what the PS4 should have launched as 3 years ago. That is what the console is. Good for 2k, not good for anything beyond that, aside from outputting movies/videos at 4k. And it even screws that up by not having a 4k blu ray player.

Gritty war setting vs faggot ass costumes and multicolored bullshit for the kids to eat up. And CoD4/MW2 wasn't bad on colors. Better than the overall pallette in MW3.

I read an article from a mouthpiece from Nvidia stating that 8k was going to require sli configurations, and that 16k will be so pixel dense, you won't be able to see pixels anymore with the naked eye, which will require truly insane gpu's. It's probably gonna be about 5 years until 4k gaming is accessible to the general pc player population ($300 card).

16k will be so pixel dense, you won't be able to see pixels anymore with the naked eye That's all relative to the size of the screen. 1080p on a cellphone, the pixels are invisible from inches away. But sit 5 feet from a 1080p 75" TV and it looks like LEGO bricks. Higher resolutions are super nice though because then we can fill more of our peripheral vision with screen, without sacrificing that pixel density

Beyond the scummy micro-transaction model, I think this about sums up my beef nowadays. Can't argue with that. AW would've been a good looking game if they didn't add that horrific shit. BO3 is hit or miss. Some of the maps and character options look nice and the rest is some kiddy-ass shit. I guess I just block a lot of it out and focus on playing.

will probably install cod4x the next days to find out whats left to play with in this classic and i think they altered some/all of the sounds that the community was complaining about in the remaster, too lazy to search for it, twitter/youtube

Who really wants to look at muddy-brown dull maps for a year? lol The question is rather who really wants to look at eye cancer'ish maps for over a year? Sure if you move on each year for the new game and support the crappy developers like that it's a non issue with such map color decisions, but none of these maps will become classics that I can tell you, because none wants to play this any longer than one season, even if the gameplay is good, I can imagine they get even more boring und dull like that over an extended period. People still port Toujane n stuff for the newer games, no such thing will happen with these pink maps. ps some chinatown'ish thing is nice from time to time though, non dull maps done right

IW remained pure from it until infinite warfare. Probably forced to do it after Ghosts failed.

It was all downhill at IW once everybody left for Respawn, i.e. before MW3. That's sort of why MW3 is basically just a slightly worse MW2.

Just waiting for that leak to state you need the IW disk to play remastered. Taking a loooong time to confirm or deny.

They just want to avoid false outrage. Why wouldn't you need the IW disk? It's technically an IW+MWR disk.
