Call Of Duty Game Page Update Confirms Modern Warfare 3 For Xbox One

And yet playstation are apparently releasing a pro next year ..when this is still happening

Wow. What a weird generation we've had, the last gen has cast a massive shadow over it. Great for people still on those old consoles, if you can accept the lesser performance, which I guess if you're still there, then you can.

On the acquisition front....CMA is expected to release their opinion on Monday. It is not the final decision but we should get an idea on what they desire for a resolution. Like if a divestiture will be necessary.

so why aren't older cod games on game pass years ago? ms does not have to own activision to have cod on gp.

@rustyduck Activition had refused to have their content on any subscription service PERIOD. That why this purchase is so important. It forces Activition to bring their game to subscriptions services and Cloud platforms that they didn’t allow.

i see, i didn't know activision was like that.

Surprised about this to be honest. I was happy MW2 was released on Xbox One because that’s the only console I have but didn’t expect them to release MW3 for it also. I’d say this will be the last COD for Xbox One.

Still no need to upgrade 😆

It makes sense if all the progression from MW2 carries over. I'd expect next years entry to finally make the switch to current gen only

Call of Duty is going to be releasing on Switch (or Switch 2) for the next 10 years. So there is no reason why Xbox One and PS4 will be left out at least in the near future when they still have substantial install bases.

In fact, most PC gamers have a PC somewhere around the Xbox Series S with many playing on hardware similar to an Xbox One. So having a game scale from Switch all the way up to high end PCs is the way to go.

It just means the developers have to put in a lot more work. But it is very doable. And also, is already being done through PC.

And still no Switch version either, despite 100M+ sales. "Grow the install base first", my ass.

Given how CoD is supposed to release on Switch 2 for ages to come. They will have to make their engine scalable enough to the point that it runs on PS4/X1 level hardware.
@JetmanUK I have put +250hrs into MW2 on a dusty One S. The game fundamentally looks very very scaled back but it still is good looking enough given the limitations (unlike for example Jedi Fallen Order which looked terrible). I have played it with cross play with people on PS4, PS5 and Series X in the same party and game functions pretty well. CoD doesn't get enough credit for how well it "just works".
I think the eventual Switch 2 version will also look pretty handsome for that platform, specially for handheld mode.

@EVIL-C The deal hasn't gone through yet, Xbox's claims is for after they fully own ABK. So at earliest next year?

@BrilliantBill That's good to hear as to be honest all the videos I see on YouTube seem to show the newer Xbox One CODs to have a frame that is often sat in the 40's. An account from someone who plays them saying that the games perform well enough to cross play with better performing versions is great.

@BrilliantBill This should've happened ages ago, years before the buyout.
