Presumably player numbers are a little lower than normal because of the split between this and Infinite Warfare (and Black Ops 3 too, no doubt), but we've no hard data to back up that hunch. There is, however, a really nice range of options to choose from and more recent modes have been added to the mix, which makes it even more of a shame when you can't find a match of Kill Confirmed in a timely manner. Within that section only Team Deathmatch, Domination, and Search and Destroy are getting a lot of attention, and it can take a while to get a game on some of the less popular playlists. As such there are plenty of people out there who have long been looking forward to a return to these classic maps, and for the most part they won't be disappointed.Īction tends to focus on the "Standard" portion of the multiplayer, with "Hardcore" and "Old School" getting a lot less love. Indeed, the stellar single-player campaign aside, Modern Warfare was part of the wave of titles that really established competitive online gaming on console. There are still a few jagged edges to be found, so it's not on par with the best looking games of today, but it definitely looks like a game made for this generation.Įqually impressive is the multiplayer portion of the game, which will bring back fond memories for fans of the series.

We're talking removing gas masks from certain characters to show off the facial details, changing architecture to offer up more eye-candy, and similarly revealing tweaks. Raven most certainly knows that they've done a good job, and they've made a few changes to highlight this. These are all fairly minor details, but they make the game feel fresh and modern.

The area is filled with soldiers working on their trucks, different kinds of vehicles, and even a new section where you can learn how to use explosives. Not only do the enhanced lighting and textures make the compound look realistic and beautiful, but new details make it feel more alive. They've changed certain environmental details, changed character models, recorded new dialogue, and so much more. Raven has done so much more than up the resolution and improve a few textures. Let's make this clear: we're kind of surprised Raven Software and Activision decided to call this a remaster, and not a remake.
