The world famous publisher Activision is every year on the crest of the wave with yet another new chapter of a saga in particular, which always manages to move the gaming market on consoles and PCs. It is obviously about Call of Duty, which without ever stopping is periodically "updated" with an unpublished episode. Whether it is a work that is part of a sub-saga like the protagonist of 2019 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare or a new idea like Call of Duty: Infinity Warfare, each new production of the brand always lands on the market making a lot of noise. The titles in question, although they certainly have an annual release, as many know are not developed in a single year, because there are 3 distinct teams to deal with the series: Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Sledgehammer Games.
Working without ever stopping, the three software houses just mentioned always manage to alternate with their releases, in order to never miss a brand new game for fans of the series. The titles bearing the name of Call of Duty there are now many, and obviously there have been numerous ups and downs by all three teams, who have always shown all their talent to the detriment of everything despite the lively rhythms of their working environments. In fact, it was no coincidence that recently Bungie, developer of Destiny, decided to go back on its own by moving away from Activision once the contract has expired, so as to be able to afford much more peaceful and… human development times. We are here to talk about the publisher just mentioned, which, even after merging with Blizzard, continues to constantly deal with the publication of the chapters of the famous shooter. Also this year, after the release of the revolutionary spin off Call of Duty: Mobile, a new main episode of the franchise will arrive on the virtual and physical shelves that from the premises seems to want to win back the hearts of all types of gamers, disappointed or not by the last chapters, as of those who initially intended to permanently distance themselves from the brand. It is about Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, which is presented as a reboot of the sub-saga much appreciated by the community, especially in its second episode. However, we are not dealing with a calm and lukewarm game, which only wants to do the homework by worrying only not to configure itself as a blockbuster flop, but an attempt at revolution by the team. Infinity Ward. 
Go back to the past without repeating mistakes
This is precisely the premise of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, and among the objectives of the game it is most likely the most important. Recently Activision, to avoid any kind of doubt, truncating possible communication errors in the bud has released a magnificent trailer regarding the game's campaign. It might seem like a pretty common decision and one that several publishers often take for their most anticipated titles, but that's actually not the case. Many do not know that Call of Duty: Black Ops 4, the chapter of the main saga released in 2018, did not feature any type of singleplayer campaign. Despite the prerogative of all the games they carry Call of Duty in the name is a quality online sector, this situation made many players turn up their noses. The 2018 chapter was also sold at full price despite its evident and also serious lack of single-player content, and the software house brought a particularly meager justification to the microphones. Treyarch stated that the single player mode of the various episodes of the series was of little relevance, also implying that it was a sop for the most controversial and demanding players. The software house decided to use all the funds and energy available to create the Battle Royale mode, which should have filled all the gaps left by a failed offline campaign. Unfortunately this was not the case, because despite the multiplayer sector was visibly enriched by the latter, the communication errors and the lack of a campaign limited the success of the game, without making it go beyond its borders linked to an unorganized and best communicated production. . What in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare aims to represent in this 2019 is fortunately very different from the recent past. The title wants to ensure the player has a full cake and a drunk wife, because it intends to bring to the screens both a rich campaign, of which we have just mentioned the announcement, and a well-built online sector with also the battle royale mode inside. , which will however be playable for free.
The Battle Royale that will conquer the market?
To attract the community to itself, Infinity Ward has decided to use an interesting already patented strategy that is undoubtedly one of the best. The battle royale of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare it will be completely free, on all platforms, for all players. It will not launch with the game, but its release is set for early next year. This further peculiarity of the mode wants to make the relationship with the public easier, also underlining that the Battle Royale will not necessarily be linked to the main game. What Infinity Ward also wants to try to do is a distancing of the categories of players, which will be divided between the main game and the mode in its own right, but which will still be united under a single general flag. As already seen on many occasions, Battle Royale progression will be outlined by a Battle Pass, a feature particularly appreciated by fans of the genre. With these ideas in mind, the mode aims to push the sales of the main game even further, conquering the public without repeating some mistakes seen in the past. Games like H1Z1: King of the Hill and PlayerUnknown's Battleground have not managed to stand out like the very famous Fortnite precisely for their entry cost, which although certainly accessible is not appreciated by the community, especially by the younger one. The market currently needs a battle royale first-person shooter with a competitive overall industry, interesting first-person mechanics, and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare it may be able to stand out for the qualities listed above.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer
A news of the last few days has caused particular discussion about itself, because it could be as happy as it is terrible. Within the multiplayer sector of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare the prestigious, iconic feature of all the chapters of the series will not be present Call of Duty. The choice made by Infinity Ward he wants to detach his outgoing work from all the others, in order to make them take flight in today's market. However, this decision is certainly risky, since given the absence of Loot Box and Supply Drop already communicated, the software house will have to be able to carefully balance the progression system, an undertaking that will certainly not be easy. Even the Battle Pass will need painstaking care, and the absence of fantasy elements - present instead in titles like Fortnite - will certainly complicate the arrival of interesting Skins for the public. However, we have not yet mentioned the most interesting of the news related to the multiplayer sector of the work, something that has been able to surprise the entire community ... of all platforms! Inside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare cross play will be present, between PC, PS4 and Xbox One. To obviate all the balances necessary for those who find themselves favored by the use of mouse and keyboard within the shooters, it was also decided to implement PC peripherals also on the console versions.
Multi-platform management
As already mentioned, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will be released on PC, PS4 and Xbox One, but with compromises. The PS4 version will in fact have content with temporal exclusivity, thus presenting itself as the best to play on. This specific choice was made due to some agreements made between Activision and Sony, which will bring a greater user base to choose PS4 than other versions. Despite this, the cross play was fortunately not, as already mentioned, denied. We also believe, wanting to put a slight criticism of the title before its release, that this would have been the right time for the series to land on the Nintendo Switch. We are faced with a game that aims at the pinnacle of success, which wants to win the hearts of many players, and which would have been perfect as a debut chapter on the Nintendo hybrid console. Probably the very tight times of the team, and the desire to implement a rather balanced cross play, did not allow the porting, provided that there was even only the intention; however, we hope that our dream can somehow materialize in the near future. It must also be said that despite the PS4 version will have an advantage on sales thanks to its temporal exclusivity, that PC sings from its an interesting novelty that looks straight in the face of the next videogame generation ..
Call of Duty and the power of Ray Tracing
Exact, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will present within it the Ray Tracing, the new frontier of graphics arrived on the market thanks to the Nvidia video cards of the 2000 series. The technology that allows you to bring into the game a new level of illumination of scenarios, objects and characters, although still very heavy, is coming on several titles. Its presence in all the modes of Battlefield V has in fact already given us the opportunity to see the spectacular views that are represented on the screen. As it is not fully cleared of customs, Ray Tracing increases the sales of the few titles that support it, singleplayer or multiplayer. PC players will therefore be able to have an edge over the console ones, at least in terms of graphics. Despite this, the fact remains that they will have to compromise anyway, just like the Xbox user, given the temporal exclusivity of the contents now confirmed by Sony and Infinity Ward.
Flop announced or revolution of the series?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has all the credentials to revolutionize the market thanks to the choices made by the software house, its qualities already announced and its battle royale. The communication between players and developers seems to have gone very well. All the complaints made by the players towards the last chapter have been heard, at least on paper, and various measures seem to have been taken. If you think that most of the controversy has occurred in the last year, right after the release of Black Ops 4, the work done appears even more impressive. We obviously have no way to assess the quality of the title, but we are sure that the next Call of Duty will be able to satisfy the requests of fans, attract a lot of public to itself thanks above all to the free to play mode, and to present itself as one of the most successful chapters of the saga. Surely the competitive sector will also have its importance given the type of gameplay we will be dealing with, and Activision will be able to push sales with ease. At this point we can not help but wait for October 25, the day of the game's debut, where we will have clarifications on our doubts and we will be able to deal with all our theories.
