I hope so because season passes suck ass in addition to their crazy mtx
I don't see the issue. Sounds like he just likes to make a big deal out of everything based on all his recent posts.
Being real here, there are 12 year old kids that will be buying this game who weren't even born when Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare came out. This title doesn't mean a thing to them.
Name doesn't matter, it comes down to the games theme. Obviously if you stay in the future the feel of the game is different.
Guess over the years Pentagon has become unhappy that the dev team they collaborated with and through whom they sell patriotism to Americans has strayed away from killing muslim brown people also colloquially and disparagingly known as "rag heads" or other "foreigners". With this soft reboot perhaps they can get back to roots on "bringing peace in the middle east" especially at the heels of a possible war with Iran. Of course I do wonder what roles Russians will be play.
Of course, much like the first MW, I don't expect it to be explicit in its propaganda but I would be very surprised if it did not have the aforementioned underlying connotations mired in politics (which "Gamers" will ignore since "Politics" don't exist outside the topics covering representation and diversity in games).
I can't wait for the those brave and beautiful americans to bring liberty, freedom and way of life gospels to the rest of the world.
And obviously, I would love to be proven wrong but leveraging the myriad tragedies on American soil at the hands of "foreigners" be they from south of the border or the middle east, or at the least, the resultant resentment, is too lucrative of an opportunity to give up for a game that wants to appeal to the largest market in the world especially under the current, democratically elected leadership.
Conflict is good for business. War IS good business.

Why wouldn't you just call it Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. Probably because some corporate dumbass thinks it would be redundant because of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare.
Well, guess what. Everyone knows there's already been three Modern Warfares. It makes sense to have a fourth. Calling it Modern Warfare will only hurt sales.
Not to mention there's already Modern Warfare Remastered. So yeah, just call it MW4.

The issue is we already got it remastered and now they wanna reboot it ,if this isn't milking to you then I don't know what is. Also its soft reboot meaning probably won't make much difference from the remaster or the original they just wanna have an excuse to milk the sweet sweet nostalgic fan's money.
If they go uber-grounded with a theme of brutality, I would be all in. They already went exaggerated with Infinite Warfare & Advanced Warfare among others.
Make a grounded hardcore shooter in a modern setting. Something akin to the first Sicario film, tone wise.
Imagine playing something like that in next-gen VR iterations with real simulated physics and 1:1 firearm functionality.
Also, will we ever see a COD set in an African state? There are so many interesting and fucked up conflicts they can draw from.

I don't see the issue they need to appeal to a new demographic of children. This isn't even a video game only issue movies do this all the time. Yes it's dumb but is it the end of the world.
The naming isn't an issue, it's been 12 years since the original game.
I do find the soft reboot thing a bit weird. Is it a reboot in the sense that they're going back to that name or that the story is being rebooted? Like, I don't really think there's enough people who really care about the MW story for it to warrant a reboot. I assume it has to be the former.

Maybe this is an attempt to turn Call of Duty into longterm GaaS titles:
2019: Launch of "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare". Focus on traditional Call of Duty gameplay.
2020: Launch of "Call of Duty: Black Ops". Focus on Battle Royale / zombies.
-> No new COD titles in 2021 and beyond. MW and BO will get new seasons every few months with big content upgrades. Sledgehammer and other support devs will work on content for seasons to avoid what happened to Apex. Some form of F2P will be introduced.
I could see it happening tbh.

As long as there's new 6 hour-ish campaign every year, I'm fine with that.
I mean it is one of the biggest selling subseries out of the Call of duty games so i get the mindset of keeping the renowned name at least. It must feel drastically different to warrant a reboot in that case then. I guess they didn't like the association that Call of Duty Modern warfare 4 started with Call of duty 4 modern warfare maybe? Eh idek.
Emotional story of a man and his young son, who is an anthropomorphic ac130
Don't forget about the severed head of Sgt. Foley that constantly reminds you to do everything
They should honestly just call them "Call Of Duty 2019", "Call Of Duty 2020", ect.
Couldn't they add a part to the subtitle? Like Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Forces or something? I'm not a fan of having the name mirror COD 4 and the remaster THAT closely.
But seriously are they going back to mw1 and 2 then we're just gonna see an alternative take on that? That'd be strange for this type of game but it'd be interesting to see how they do it. I'd actually consider getting it if it looks good.
If it's nothing like that then I can't imagine that they're using the name MW for any other reason than nostalgia.
They aren't out of ideas, people wouldn't shut up about Ghosts and Infinite Warfare(best campaign since MW1) so they were likely forced by Activision to make something more popular.
I don't really understand why people are so caught up about this.
Games are rebooted all the time. God of War is a great example.
Do we really need a number to know which one it is? CoD4 is always gonna be CoD2. MW2 is going to be MW2. It's not that confusing.

Call of duty modern warfare infinite.
Also, who gives a fuck? This has happened to a number of franchises around the 4th to 6th installment
