As far as paid cards go, Call of Duty finally gets the program

More than a decade after the original era Call of Duty 4 Modern Warfare, Activision said last week that the Duty will be a re-imagine of Infinity Ward's Modern war series. In addition to the campaign trailer that was released on May 30, the community also received a hint of hope that Activision could finally give Call of Duty the shakeup he needs.

Captain Price and other favorite characters of the fans come back in a whole new story for the player restarted gently Call of Duty: Modern war, which comes out on October 25 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC. While Activision will probably save most of the details of E3, we have at least learned some positive changes on the horizon.

A brand new co-op mode relieves players of zombie fatigue, leaving the dead buried this fall. And the long-considered dream of cross-play will finally be a reality. Activision's initial announcement did not directly indicate whether this would end. Call of DutyFor console war, an Infinity Ward producer tweeted a more in-depth Forbes article. The article specifies that Modern war will play a cross between PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, combining players from their input devices, so you will not have to run into a keyboard and mouse with your DualShock 4 anymore. (However, if the consoles choose to party with their PC pals, then all the bets are off.).

Activision finally eliminates the $ 50 archaic "season pass" model. Modern war will instead receive free maps and content, as well as post-launch events for all players. I'm sure microtransactions will slip into the game at some point and, hopefully, more taste than Black Ops 4but I count the free cards as a victory. It's something Call of Duty needed for years. Call of Duty is one of the last major shooting games to leave the Stone Age card packs, joining Battlefield 5, Rainbow Six Siegeand many other games that offer free cards.

The card packs and season passes of the past years have created an unfortunate, sometimes painful division. Call of DutyPlayers base more than she helped. It's not just because extra cards cost money, players have been separated into haves and have-nots. Even players who bought the pass often could not play them. If anyone in your group did not have the paid cards, no one could play. Even though I wanted to take advantage of the cards I paid for, I never fled one of my friends because they did not have the money to buy other items. I just waited for another opportunity to play.

Moreover, it was impossible to know how often the new cards would be displayed in rotation. It was a big problem with Infinite warSeason pass. I could spend hours playing at night, but a DLC card might only appear once, if at all. It was a shame because Infinite warThe DLC contains stylish multiplayer maps that I really wanted to play more. Even the zombies have improved with the DLC "Shaolin Shuffle", which allows players to erase the dead with Kung Fu movements and the help of the Hollywood icon Pam Grier.

All cards are not created equal. Over the years, many DLC cards were visually interesting and more fun to play than the cards that came with the game at launch. I hate the fact that a large part of the player base has never been able to experience them.

There was excellent downloadable content from the three Call of DutyMain developers, but if we focus only on Infinity Ward maps, we still have several gems. When I think of unique COD cards, I often think of the "fog" of Call of Duty: ghosts. The fog was a DLC card that paid tribute to slasher movies by placing the players on a weird little card with a booth that was perfect for someone like Jason Voorhees. Players can complete the goal of becoming Michael Myers for a short time. Halloween theme of the music would play. The music mocked me every time. It was awesome.

Modern war 2 The second and last pack of maps published in the summer of 2010 contained fun maps. "Trailer Park" is a tiny group of abandoned mobile homes, perfect for the Pave Low and Chopper Gunner casualty series, and "Carnival" is a fun and abandoned theme. Park environment. Modern war 2 Perhaps an upward compatibility on Xbox One, but reliving nostalgia for these cards now means dealing with tons of hackers. I hope to see remastered versions of these cards in the future.

At launch, Call of Duty Multiplayer cards are often linked to the campaign scenario, but DLC cards usually allow developers to have a bit more fun – Sledgehammer's the Second World War card with toy soldiers fighting in a sandbox, or old Tony Hawk The "Grind" skatepark of developer Treyarch in Black Ops 2, for example. Whatever direction Infinity Ward takes this year, at least everyone should finally be able to enjoy all the cards together, no matter which platform they choose or which content packs they buy.
