Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be released October 25, 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Here’s what we know:

Modern Warfare will ditch the annual pass model, delivering free maps, content, and post-launch events to all players. We don’t know what the new model will look like, but the old one offered an average of four paid map packs for each game. There still might be other kinds of paid content in this game, but Activision isn’t saying just yet.

The game will feature cross-play support between PC and consoles. Kotaku asked Activision for clarification on whether or not this means Xbox One or PS4 players could play together, but no information is available at this time. The PC version is exclusive to Battle.net

Official reveal trailer


Official multiplayer reveal trailer


To clarity, this is neither a prequel or a sequel to Modern Warfare (CoD 4), but rather a reboot with some of the same characters. There will be a campaign, significantly more game modes. Battle royal has not been announced.

August 1st MP reveal update:
So as many know the MP has been revealed as of today. I'm going to update the OP with this information and more as we receive more news.
The main changes that intrigued me would be the pick 10 system's death everybody will have 5 weapon attachments per primary and secondary weapon, 3 perks, 1 tactical and 1 lethal option along with a gun perk(s?). 60 attachments for certain weapons. No mini-map in core without using a UAV killstreak.


Weapon customization information and create a class information



One hour of various game modes, no commentary



20V20 TDM mode



Additional information:
-No specialist abilities
-Classes can be edited while in a match
-Doors may be opened and closed
-Health regeneration will be automatic and will not be available in certain modes, such as 2V2 "Gunfight"
-No mini-map in core without a UAV, but squadmates will have an outline through walls
-Killstreaks are back instead of scorestreaks
-Driveable vehicles such as ATVs in 20v20 mode and a drivable tank as a killstreak
-Some weapons may have a selection of ~60 attachments ranging from basic lasers and scopes to changing calibers and fire modes
-Attachments will have both positive and negative attributes
-Weapons will be projectile rather than hitscan
-Nighttime maps
-Pick 10 has been removed, 5 attachments per weapon by default, 1 lethal, 1 tactical, 3 perks and a gun perk

COD4:MW was the first game to cause me to upgrade my graphics card.

its been a love/hate relationship w/gaming since.
 
#3 ·
Yo. This looks good. You know its serious when there is a new engine.
 
#8 ·
They've been saying "new engine" for the past few CoD releases up till BO4 and they've all been just heavily modified Quake / idTech engine.
 
#4 ·
But...They just remastered Modern Warfare?


I don't understand.
 
#5 · (Edited)
shh dont question it, just be glad they're giving us back their cheesy b grade campaigns after BO4 denied us.

Personally i'm excited. Ever since I played CoD 2 i've always had a soft spot for CODs ridiculous campaigns especially the original MW.
 
#9 ·
A 3rd copy of Modern Warfare?

in.

gah. It was a good game.
 
#10 ·
Trailer was pretty incredible but it is indeed a remake?
 
#11 ·
Reboot, elements and characters will be used but it should overall be very different.
 
#12 ·
Personally not impressed lol. Looks like the Cod engine modified. And *yaaawn* we've been here and done this multiple times now
 
#22 · (Edited)
Looks really good to me, so far. I try not to get too excited about in game footage until we have the actual game, but that's kinda hard to not be excited about. COD has been dead to me for a while but it looks like they are going to win me back, and the timing couldn't be better since I am officially done with Battlefield now.

Cross-platform play vs consoles is gonna feel like cheating
 
#19 ·
Probably. I've played a few CoDs on PS4 with a XIM4 (M+KB emulator), it's not quite 1:1 to PC in terms of feeling or precision but there were times where I legitimately felt bad for using it. lol

I'm sure they'll keep PC players away from console players as much as possible. Only allowing us to cross-play with console if another member in our party is on console.
I'm really hoping they don't bring back skill based matchmaking. I'd rather be a little bored pub stomping people than sweating every match, P2P matchmaking (lag) + SBMM = misery. If they add dedicated servers it might be a little different.

I don't remember much of those scenes in the original game. It's certainly been a while but a person shooting into the windshield of a car? Halo jumps? I don't remember those at all...

Looks like they're it's way more than just a remaster or even a remake.

Previews for the game have indicated that the new Modern Warfare will attempt to go beyond visual callbacks. Ars Technica reports that half of the campaign will unfold from the perspective an Arab soldier, a female rebel fighter named Farah from an unnamed country that might be Afghanistan. Per the report, the new Modern Warfare is aiming for a more brutal “morally gray” approach, with an extended sequence set in Farah’s home as it is terrorized by Russian soldiers, with civilians—and even infants—in peril. Comparisons to “No Russian,” the controversial Modern Warfare 2 level which gave players the option to take part in a terrorist assault on an airport, abound.

I wonder if they're adding in new mechanics with this new game engine.

They are taking characters from the original story but its all new alt-timeline kind of thing.

Man this looks really good. I personally love me some modern shooters. All this WW1 WW2 stuff gets boring. And the space future junk no thanks.

The trailer looks amazing. Hopefully it doesn't suck lol. This might cause me to do a GPU upgrade if it's needed.

I swear I heard or read about this sentiment back when OG COD4 was about to be released. lol
 
#24 · (Edited)
Maybe consult some of the OG's on what COD should do, get some of that original dev team back and create a masterpiece or reboot off something like COD:UO, that game at the time was like the best of Battlefield 1942 and COD1 combined. As a true COD "connoisseur" I'd say that was the best installment. Nuts to me that people think "COD" started with MW... Nah B, this is real COD, some of the current COD players probably weren't even born.

That's right "USA Today Best of 2003" & $34 at Bestbuy, ain't nobody got no time for no Steam. That's how buying games should be.

Hear Hear! Man i miss those, they screwed up the WWII game so bad..
 
#25 ·
I believe its a battle.net exclusive. Poor Steam aint getting Modern Warfare $.
 
#26 ·
Yeah I am sure it is after BO4. Hasn't really bothered me using battle net. Its much faster and more reliable that crappy origin.
 
#31 ·


Apparently is a new engine.
 
#33 ·
Capt. Price gives no ducks in a stealth mission by still smoking. lol

Heard this is not the original Capt. Price actor since that dude's already in his 80s.
 
#34 ·
Yeah it's not but i honestly love the guys voice in the trailer.
 
#38 ·
Is it that big of a deal to have a different app installed? I understand when EA left Steam and everyone was mad, because things began to be separated. But it is what it is anymore.
 
#37 ·
This is the first time I've been legitimately interested in a CoD game in a decade.

A lot of that might be Activision's trailer magic, but the Digital Foundry video on the engine tech definitely has me excited.
 
#39 ·
I used to hate it when stuff wasn't available on steam but I prefer to purchase games on their "home" platform now so that I don't need to open steam and the distributors program (Uplay etc..) to log in and play the game.

Shopping for games on Steam has become like shopping for things on Amazon, there are just too many items to make browsing effective. If you know exactly what you want then you won't have any trouble but good luck if you need to figure out what you want to buy.
 
#40 ·
I agree I haven't browsed like that on Steam in forever. Way too much crap games.
 
#44 ·
The more i hear about this game the more i think i'm going to like it. IGN said it was the most divisive game at E3 lol because it was too realistic and morally gray...i think that's solidifying that it has the potential to turn over a new leaf for COD.

We can only hope. From the looks of it the developers aren't giving into the REEEEE'ing SJW snowflakes, which is a massive plus.

We want to see a gritty Modern Warfare reboot and not a neutered CoD4 DLC because some blogger who hasn't played a game in their life said it offended them.
 
#45 ·
Looks intriguing, but I'll be counted out too. I have had steam only since 2007, and unless it's a g2g copy or similar without drm, that's all I buy on. But this could have been my next cod game since 2007 (I tried a couple modern ones but they sucked).

Onto the process of remastering this game. Did you basically rebuild it from scratch? Did you just mod it in? How was the process of change?

So we started with the bones and we have a really strong partnership with Infinity Ward. We’ve been working with them since Modern Warfare 3 and in fact this year this will be our tenth COD. So we’ve been around the block will all of the partner studios for a very long time. The engine that we used is actually the latest version of the COD engine.
there is a lot more to the answer but i think that might answer your question.
