For those who were planning on acquiring Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare simply to get the code for running Modern Warfare Remastered, will, sadly have to hold onto the disc.This is because without running the Infinite Warfare, one will not be able to play the game.
This was made crystal clear by the fine print on the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered as well as the title’sofficial website. Where it is stated that the insertion of the game disc is necessary for the digital Modern Warfare Remastered to run.
The disclaimer also declares that an internet connection is necessary for playing the title. However, the announcement does not specify whether this is solely for the multiplayer component or for the campaign as well.
The announcement further provides credibility to Activision’s proclamation, thatModern Warfare Remastered shall only be available as a pack-in with exclusive editions of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare, the cheapest of which costs $80. Apetition at Change.org, for altering the publisher’s mind is being held, which at present shows more than 8,700 supporters.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered still retains its previous campaign mode from the original Call of Duty 4, which isregarded all over as one of the greatest first-person shooters of all time. It even includes ten of the game’s multiplayer maps. It isexpected that more maps are going to be released before the year’s end.
However, for those who have already pre-ordered the exclusive copy of Infinite Warfare on PlayStation 4, will be lucky enoughto play the entire campaign on Wednesday the 5th of October.
The game is developed by long-time collaborator for the title, Raven Software and is executive produced by Infinity Ward, the title’s initial developer. The game is going to feature dedicatedmultiplayer servers, and is reportedly going to be one of the games,that have claimed to support the PlayStation 4 Pro console.
Last week, anintroducing promo clip for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered, was released byActivision and Infinity Ward.It was released alongside a trusted website for the game.
The game is releasingtogether with Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. If one buys the Legacy version in additionto the Legacy Pro version of the new release, one getsaccess to Modern Warfare Remastered.
It read on the clip, that the modern Warfare Remastered is a full game download, wherein the disc of the game must be inserted to play it. However, this is not applicable in case of those buying the game digitally, on Steam, as well as the PlayStation Store, or Xbox Store. It only affects physicalprocurements or buying.
This news seems to be stopping users from buying Infinite Warfare or downloading Modern Warfare Remastered, and then instantly returning or reselling the CD.
Numerous players have by now, redeemed an initial access code for single-player mode. However, that release will cease to work on the day of the game’s launch. So, what this essentially means is that, players can enjoy Modern Warfare Remastered for the time being, but if they want to keep playing it, they will need the full game code from the release version.
Hence, the bottom-line remains this, that if you want to keep playing; or play Modern Warfare Remastered, prepare yourself to drop the money on Infinite Warfare. There is no other way around.
Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare is releasing on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One on November 4, 2016.
The game is a standalone downloadable, only available to players who purchase a special edition of Call of Duty: Infinite Warfare. This news has offended many players looking to play the remaster on its own in a very serious manner.
