I already said I was fine with that,
heck I even suggested it early on in the MWR reveal thread back on Neogaf.
I just don't think Activision will do it, same way they haven't pushed COD: Online for the west.

C'mon now, Reach is by far the worst Halo multiplayer but MW2 is alright. It's cod, I don't think anyone cares if it's balanced lol
Unless you're imagining a specific scenario with your friends group being split, there's no reason to worry about any player base splits. As has been pointed out, there are more than enough players to be divided and sub-divided and sub-sub-divided between Call of Duty games.
And MW2 on last-gen consoles is massively compromised, so "active" or not, it's not really a feasible environment for fans wanting to play it.
The only ''garbage'' thing here is this post.
I expected some news out out this with the recent bumps, not salt mines detached from any reality.
Call of Duty is perfectly capable of being a balanced, competitive product within it's multiplayer. Why is it that, after MW2, MULTIPLE CoD titles managed to not have an embarrassing weapon balancing setup and still be considered successful amongst fans? The Treyarch titles (sans 3 lol), MW3, Ghosts and even WW2 from what I hear doesn't go deep into the realm of nonsense like MW2 does.
MW2 is the worst. Did it introduce things that would become popular staples in future CoD games? Sure. Is it arguably packed with some of the most memorable maps in the series? Sure but like half of them are poorly designed kill
boxes. But literally everything else in that game is packed with silly bullshit thanks to the perks/attachments in this game or genuinely questionable design choices.
I disagree. This wouldn't just affect current COD players, it would affect everyone interested in shooters.
I'd personally hate to see a world where consumers are passing on other great online shooters just because they feel compelled to buy a second or third COD in the same year.
I know that by quoting this post I'm only giving you the attention you wanted but by god, what an absolutely embarrassing take.
I'm scratching my head trying to understand your position. Activision aren't morally bound to allow other shooters to prosper by not releasing a game that would attract players. I'd hate to see a world where individuals such as yourself can deny players entertainment because they feel they're in a position to dictate what should and should not be made and played.
Call of Duty is big enough that a splintered player base would still result in large pools of players playing together anyway. And by the time they become to small to be viable, there will be new games (COD or otherwise) that will take your attention. I disagree with the argument that it is bad for players to be given more options.
I was just playing BLOPS 3 on PS4 yesterday. Instant matchmaking into full TDM lobbies.
Exactly. I am confident that I could go on (X1) Blops3, MWR, Infinite Warfare, or (360) MW, MW2, Blops and anywhere in between and still have near Instantaneous matchmaking. Only hesitation I would have with older games would be with Ghosts (as previously stated) and glitch/hacked lobbies in old games.
Playerbases for these games are massive and they have longevity. No need to be worried.
Kind of a bad example. BO3 has some of the longest legs in the series, in part due to its exceptional post launch support (albeit distributed through iffy means). Just earlier last month they added a new version of an old map and a new game mode.

Say whatever you want about the game but it has the best map package in the entire series and then some.
Who's talking about morals? This is a business. I get that.
You know what's great for consumers in a business? Competition.
Activision drastically overtaking the market with multiple COD games per year isn't good for competition (or creativity, value, etc.)
That's my point. And your final sentence reeks heavily of irony.
How does fewer competing titles on the market spur competition again?
Competition is positive because it creates demand for improved products and services. I comprehend your statements as Activision offering something consumers deem a better product as a negative because it will reflect badly on its competitors' offerings. Can you clarify? Because the right answer there is for the competitors to go on to create better offerings, not diminish consumer choice.
What competition? Everyone has long since gave up trying to compete directly with CoD. The fact that Battlefield is seen as it's big rival should tell you that. They really don't have all that much incommon, outside of basic things.
MW2 MP would be the best competition a new CoD game has had in years. Which is probably why it'll be SP only.
Undoubtedly a pack-in for next years Infinity Ward title which is likely MW4.
Next year is the 10th anniversary of MW2
incredibly obvious this was going to have a bigger moment next year tbh and even if it was going to be SP only with BO4 (can't see 3arc want something to distract from their release) then the MP side would be released in 2019
Is COD in 2019 really going to be MW4 or is that just a rumor? Either way, I just played MWR and im hoping for that remaster for MW2. This could be another game(s) to add to an already stacked 2019.
Just a rumor and speculation based on a lot of former IW employees returning to the studio
There is just no possible way Activision would allow them to do something else.
Ghosts was horribly received and they ditched it,
then Infinite Warfare #s were a disaster.
Insiders have suggested MW4, loads of original IW guys have returned from Respawn.
Voice actor of Gaz/Ghost/Walcroft listed MW4 on his profile but immediately took it down and said it was a "misunderstanding"
Its pretty much guaranteed to be MW4, though who knows if its actually MW4, an MW sidestory or a COD4 prequel starring Price and Gaz(my personal hope)
Sorry for the necrobump, but, where the hell is this game?
It hasn't even been officially announced yet by Activision. Any possibility they saw the reaction to the leaks and decided to add MP?

This was most likely a bad listing that turned the community upside down. Notice all those credible people who said the game is single player only never said anything about where it is or any update. I think the game is real and will be packaged with multiplayer and the rumored MW4 game next year for the 10th anniversary of MW2.

I don't see why not when MW Remastered had it. Easy money for Activision regardless how people feel.
Can't wait for this. Don't really need MW3 though that would be nice. (I'd settle for BC X1X Enahancment)
MW2 is one of the best games ever made though. And MW Remastered was done so well. Really hope this is real.

Lol, Ghosts was the last COD I've ever played. I was hyped as fuck to play the first next gen COD and the multiplayer was such a let down that it killed the series for me.
Well, if rumours are to be believed then a few things make sense to me.
*They were planning on releasing MW2 SP-only to soften the blow that Black Ops 4 didn't have a proper campaign.
*The reception to BO4 has been surprisingly positive meaning they're no longer so worried about no campaign.
*Next year is MW2's 10 year anniversary.
*The response to no MW2 MP seems to been pretty negative so maybe they're taking the time to add it in. Delaying the release will give them an extra year to implement this.
*Infinity Ward's last 2 games have performed poorly, so launching MW2 alongside it gives the opportunity to bolster their next game.
Black Ops 4 probably doesn't need the help. Infinity Ward's next probably will.
