    Don't buy anything with Activision's name anywhere near it.    … Expand

    Game held hostage to Infinite warfare's many special editions - check. Added microtransactions - check. Resold old maps AGAIN at higher price, instead of including them free - check. Those scammers at Activision managed to make one of the crappiest remasters in history of remasters. You might not have a problem with the above awful practices, But it aint the good ones that kill games.

Today for example I played about 7 games having to leave all of them with my score at 0-8 or 1-10 as you just can move or even fire a gun half the time.

    They took an amazing game and, instead of improving it, made it absolute trash with the horrible net connection that today's CoD's all "enjoy."

    I can't describe how truly awful they made this game.    … Expand

    Unfortunately COD4 remastered does not warrant the 65.00 you have to pay to get the game. If it was say 10.00 -15.00 it would be worth it. Also playing COD 4 again just doesn't excite any longer. I reached prestige 10 back in the day and enjoyed the game but really cant be bothered again. I know the maps and guns and perks inside out and honestly felt bored going back to it.

Also playing COD 4 again just doesn't excite any longer. I reached prestige 10 back in the day and enjoyed the game but really cant be bothered again. I know the maps and guns and perks inside out and honestly felt bored going back to it. I feel its best left as a great memory rather than playing it again. Also I personally thought MW2 was the superior game and would have preferred they had remastered that instead.

    The other issue I find is that I'd forgotten over the years the major frustrations with COD 4, such as sniping. In MW2 you really could rush yet in COD 4 each game is slowed down by the constant snipers one shotting you from across the map, so games feel quite and slow. Also my favorite mode in COD history was Demolition which didn't come out until MW2. Cod 4 also lacks any fun kill-streaks, you have 3 streaks and that's it. At the time this was genius but doesn't cut it anymore. I also feel their is lag there which didn't affect the original as badly.

    I also find the maps a little off in COD 4. There are some great ones like Crash and Vacant but maps like shipment are an awful mess and Bog is dull and badly designed.

    So if you really want to play COD 4 get it in a steam sale, if you've already played, like Goldeneye it's best left as a ,memory rather than spoiling the nostalgia you had.    … Expand

    I think call of duty 4 remastered is amazing. They improved it very well with better graphics and added special features such as you can inspect the guns whilst playing.

It has a good feel of experience whilst playing. The maps is extremely detailed as you can see every detail, to the objects like the cars and buildings to small things such as leaves falling of the tress. They just don’t have multiplier online they also have campaign with real life missions. The campaign is perfect with missions that are very detailed and complex with makes it different to other games. On the multiplayer you can play different types of game modes such as team deathmatch, domination, search and destroy. This gives the players a chance to choose which game mode they prefer, there’s over 10 to choose from. Also they have added cage match which is new, this is when you can play 1v1 with someone online. This game mode is great when you’re feeling to take someone on so see who’s better. They are also realising new maps to add to their old ones which I definitely think would be good. Overall I think they have improved the game a lot which was there top priority. The experience of the game play has change which is brilliant, I think its one of the best call of duty games they have realised in a while.… Expand

    Where do I begin? This has to be the worst online COD I've played due to a number of very frustrating points. The first is with the Spawning grounds which the servers seem to drop you in the very middle of Airstrike territory or right next to an enemy ,the second is with the Jugger nog perk which seems to now need an entire clip of ammunition before your enemy will die.

The third is with the server reaction/connection speeds in that I have checked my connection speed and have an incredibly fast upload/download connection but yet when I have the clear drop on an enemy ,having shot them 4/5 times they only have to shoot me once and I'm dead and then the replay shows the opposite!! The next problem is with you being given a loss stat when you want to avoid certain levels but get allocated a level (Bog,Countdown and Shipment spring to mind) and then cannot get out of without adding a loss. A nice touch would have been to separate certain level... to which I mean Bog,Countdown and Overgrown are clearly Sniper levels and no fun to a general soldier/player .Then we have Shipment which is just an exercise in frustration in that you spawn...you get shot...you spawn again you get blown up by a grenade....you spawn once more to get caught in the middle of an airstrike......Grrrrr!! All this serves to muck up (you can replace muck with your own choice of word) your K/d ratio and win/loss ratio. Come on Activision this is the 21st century and this should have been Game of the Year,instead it's a pile of dross. Over rated and over priced and I for one shall be turning my attention to Battlefield in hope of something more worthy of my hard earned cash.Hang your heads!… Expand

    Even after nine years and the countless sequels that have come after it, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered shows how good the original game was. The campaign is short but so packed with memorable moments that few would mind some of the residual issues. If you can deal with the addition of cosmetics to appease players who have only come to the series recently, you'll be happy with how the original tenets of the multiplayer portion, from movement to gun balance and map layout, have remained unchanged. It really is too bad that this game won't be divorced from more expensive versions of Infinite Warfare for the foreseeable future, but if you're already committed to spend the extra money, you won't be disappointed.
