What's old is cool what's new isn't. Look at Battlefield 1, going back to it's origins with WWI themed game and seems to be widely accepted as a positive move by DICE.

I dunno, while I applaud Dice for taking a chance on a war that was known as more of a slog than an actionfest, IW also looks pretty cool. Sure, space is all the rage these days, but it has been waaaay too long since BF 2142, and SC will come out in 2020, so the time is right for a military-themed space shooter.

The only thing DICE has been good at is to make unrealistic shitty games. Although i liked Battlefield 2142 quite a bit.

Well, yeah. It's a GAME. That's like complaining chess isn't a realistic military strategy game. There are others out there with more realism though: DCS sims, or ArmA.

I, for one, welcome the sci-fi angle of Infinite Warfare. I skipped the last couple of CODs because they actually got worse at everything, but this one I will likely purchase from some shady site for a discount.

I only have one question: Fuck your marketing department who refuses to sell this stand-alone.

Oh, wait...

What was the question again?

I suppose - but most Publishers are also cashing in on the remaster wave too. So there is that.

Tried to play the campaign from MW1 last year, but found the graphics a bit jarring. I might pick this up at some point.

More people are interested in the remastered game than their new Sci-Fi COD.

And you know this - how?

To be sure, that deal is a massive dick move, but the new COD looks fairly solid on its own. At E3 people loved the gameplay in that blind eye test (until it was revealed it`s COD:IW), which I thought was quite hilarious and telling.

Comments on the internet, people being pissed that they're tying the game with COD:IW, general anger about that represented pretty vividly with the down votes on the youtube trailer they released. There's little doubt people wouldn't bother with COD:IW if they sold the HD remake separately for $30. I think they've done the future war scene to death with COD.

Exactly, it's like buying bubble gum baseball cards and throwing away the bubble gum. More people are interested in the remastered game than their new Sci-Fi COD.

Credit where it's due, they're smart. The only way to get to play an updated version of the best COD is to buy the latest one...

Actually you have to buy the more expensive "deluxe" $80 edition to get it.

grey market key sites have it for around $52

My point was that you can't buy it by itself. No "actually" involved.
