Review: Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered

Aside from the complete visual overhaul, Raven Software has left the campaign intact as is, with all the same content, mechanics, and bonus modes. The same can be said about extra content, although now PlayStation users can collect trophies, something that wasn't patched in the original version. For those who’ve played the Call of Duty 4 campaign a lot over the past nine years, there’s nothing new for you in the remaster. The fact that nothing has changed is both refreshing, and a hindrance. Playing an old-school boots-on-the-ground, non-set piece oriented Call of Duty campaign puts things in perspective. A grounded Call of Duty game is entertaining, and, in hindsight, makes a lot of the recent games look out of control.

Voting started on December 24th, and ended on January 21st. Each voter was asked to give ten preferences in order, with the first game scoring four points, second and third scoring three, ranks from four to six scoring two points, and the rest only one. Two honorable mentions were also allowed, but scored no points.


In "Dragons", Hanzo is seen visiting a shrine, where he lights incense as part of his annual prayer for his brother. The shrine holds a sword with a light blue hilt, which also has a chunk missing out of the blade. Was this the weapon that Hanzo used to try and kill his brot


Each of the characters in Overwatch have instantly recognizable voices, and Tracer is no exception. English actress Cara Theobold was hired to give Tracer her signature peppy tones and, judging from the character's popularity, she did a fantastic job. When the voice cast list was released, fans scrambled to find the actors' previous work, and it turns out that Cara's first acting job was a recurring role as a kitchen maid in the hugely popular British period drama series, Downton Abb


Much like Genji, casting the role of D.VA requires a bit of care, as much of her time is spent within the confines of a suit. When Song is required to step out of the suit and stand on her own, however, Jamie Chung is our pick to help make the character stand out. The actress' work in Big Hero 6 as the spunky, mechanically obsessed Go Go should be a pretty good indication as to what kind of magic she could bring to the screen in this r


The BioShock games have excellent combat and tremendous worlds. With an arsenal of firearms and magical powers at your fingertips, BioShock perfectly blends combat and strategy to produce some of the smoothest shooter games you’ll ever find. Each game additionally includes a thought-provoking dystopia with a disturbing mix of hope, horror, satire, and nostalgia for the American Dr


With beautiful settings, fun campaigns, and excellent multiplayer, Halo continues to be one of the greatest shooter franchises ever made. Call of Duty differs greatly from Halo , but Infinite Warfare draws so heavily from Halo that most fans of Infinite Warfare would have much more fun with the Halo ser

The recent Call of Duty games, however, managed to fix a lot of issues found in Call of Duty 4. The infinitely respawning enemies are a hassle, and it’s never clear how far forward the player has to push before they stop coming. Likewise, weapons found on the ground are the barebones version. If you like using attachments, then you better hope you don’t run out of ammo with the weapons you start the level with. Both of these should have been easy fixes, but Raven Software’s strict dedication to preserving the original FPS Game tips means critical alterations couldn’t be implemented. They aren’t game breaking, but they show off just how old Modern Warfare really is.


Genji's Deflect ability also has another use in battle, though you need to have amazing timing to pull it off, as you can only use it for two seconds before it needs to recharge. When Hanzo uses his Dragonstrike ultimate attack, it is possible for a Genji player to get in front of him as the dragons are let loose and hit it right back. If the Deflect ability is used at the right time, then it is possible to reflect the dragons right back at Hanzo and his teammates. This is incredibly difficult to pull off but is devasting if you can do

However, once again, Raven Software’s dedication to preserving the game rears its ugly head. While Modern Warfare Remastered’s multiplayer component is enjoyable, it feels extremely outdated as mechanics that were fixed in future entries are broken here. Infamous perks like Martyrdom, Frag Grenades x3, and Juggernaut are still present; there’s no effective counter for killstreaks, meaning a winning team can easily drown the losing team in a barrage of UAVs, airstrikes, and helicopters; and of course, there’s the infamous quickscoping, which Infinity Ward is patching out of their latest Call of Duty game due to backlash. Oh, and you can't forget about the noobtubes. Raven Software’s dedication is admirable but should have been more lenient when it came to balancing. When other Call of Duty games have removed perks like Martyrdom for balancing reasons or gave players lock-on weapons to counter killstreaks for balancing purposes, then it’s probably best to include those changes.
