These people wanted the exact same 2007 game, they just wanted it to have the looks of a 2016 one.įans went as far as preemptively calling out “haters” and “detractors” before the thing even came out, telling them that they’re fully aware of the original game’s overpowered perks, unbalanced guns and camping spots, and that they’re completely happy to see them return untouched. There was a sentiment that stood out to me the most, a stark attitude ardent fans adopted since learning of the remaster’s existence.
It was clear everyone was yearning for the good old days of Call of Duty, whether it be disgruntled long-time fans, or simply those fed up of seeing three different Call of Duty games go the sci-fi route. “Boots on the ground” is the phrase you’ve no doubt seen and heard, to the point that even Activision and Infinity Ward started using it when referring to Infinite Warfare, a game that’s taken this double-jumping and wall-running trend the community has grown to hate so much to its extremes. Part of this is born from the disappointment that surrounds recent Call of Duty releases, particularly a result of a quest to change-up the series' dated formula by injecting more sci-fi mechanics into it. Most of them probably even clocked over a hundred hours in the original, and that only made the remake's release even more of an event.
In the lead-up to the launch of Modern Warfare Remastered, it was hard to miss the noise people excited to play the game were making, so anxious to get back into a remake of this nine-year-old game. They already hate the other game they're forced to buy in order to play this."
