Like the well-oiled machine it is, remaster of the original Modern Warfare game has arguably attracted more interest, but it looks like you’ll need to purchase Infinite Warfare to get access to the remake.
That’s according to the earlier today.
That’s sure to disappoint any nostalgics with a space phobia, or indeed anyone who just isn’t interested in this year’s Call of Duty instalment. Using whole other games as a pre-order carrot is an interesting tactic, but it’s been happening in the console space for a while now, thanks to the Xbox One’s backwards compatibility.
There are some more obvious caveats listed in the FAQ: progress you’ve made in the original Modern Warfare won’t carry over to the new one, and the game will feature ten multiplayer maps, with ‘Crash’, ‘Backlot’ and ‘Crossfire’ already confirmed.
Of course, it’s very possible that the remaster will be available as a standalone game at some point in the future, but if you were hoping to jump onboard as soon as it released, it looks like you’re coughing up for Infinite Warfare.
