![]() ![]() Encounters happen over the course of one or two seconds, and with fewer options at your disposal, getting the jump on the enemy or properly flanking them feels more crucial to winning.Ĭall of Duty 4’s signature three killstreak rewards (a UAV, Airstrike, and Attack Helicopter) remain intact, as do the same suite of weapon and perk options. I may not be playing as a superhuman with a slew of abilities, but that vulnerability makes me feel like a regular soldier fighting for my life, which is its own brand of intense. If anything, this game feels faster and more lethal, both because the decreased angles of approach means people end up funneling down the same paths more often, and because weapons seem to do more damage (or maybe soldiers were just more fragile back in 2007). The recent entries’ focus on increased mobility might make you think Remastered feels sluggish by comparison, but I didn’t miss the jetpacks or wall-running in the hour I played. I know every nook, cranny, and chokepoint of some of these maps, and I love knowing when to expect someone will round the corner I’m covering just from seeing them sprint behind an adjacent building out of the corner of my eye. But the blocky outlines of crashed helicopters, of hollowed-out homes and fountains, look exactly like how I remembered them, and I like it that way.Įven though I played it using a DualShock 4 instead of an Xbox 360 controller as I did originally, Remastered fits like a glove. Every map and gun seems to have their textures uprezzed instead of redone, the latter of which you might expect after seeing the single-player portion of Remastered. So if you’re looking for something that will scratch your visual and auditory nostalgia for one of the defining games of the last generation of consoles to the letter, this may not be it.īut other than the visual makeover, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered has been preserved as well as you’d hoped. The point count for kills is an inflated to match the series’ current totals (100 instead of the previous 20). I can’t be certain, but I swear the soundbite of the radio voice saying “enemy UAV is online!” on the Crash map is also different. The iconography is different: the minimap, the on-screen d-pad, to the ammo counter have all gotten a facelift. The fit and finish of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare’s remaster is not as you remember it.
