Games Inbox: Is Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 worth getting?

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 – what do you think of it? (Activision) The Monday letters page offers its verdict on Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4, as one reader tries to predict GTA 6’s review scores. Games Inbox is a collection of our readers’ letters, comments, and opinions. To join in with the discussions yourself email gamecentral@metro.co.uk Post-apocalyptic warfareI would pretty much agree with GC’s review of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 4. It’s definitely the best game of the last few years but it’s not in the top 10 of the series or anything like that and, as you said, the map selection is pretty terrible right now. I think it’s probably just good enough to stop the rot, but it all depends on 2027’s game. I don’t think there’s any rumours on it yet but they have had enough time to include the complaints with that one. Not build it from scratch with them in mind but there’s been enough time that it hasn’t really got any excuses for not being good. What Call Of Duty needs is a change in subject matter and setting, if you ask me. The next game is said to be a new sub-franchise, so I think they need to go futuristic again. Something set after a climate change disaster maybe, where everything is a bit more Mad Max instead of being super high-tech. We’ve had high-tech for ages but something more like Waterworld or something would be interesting, I think. You could still have drones and robots and stuff, but they’d be more beaten up and less reliable maybe. Just a thought.Xane Want GTA 6 news?

Perfectly EvilI finally got to watch the Resident Evil film. Unfortunately for me it was more like a comedy The Thing remake. Sure, there was Easter eggs and some zombies, but it was not a perfect video game movie. Referencing game content is not the same. The terrible Resi films did this and people hate them. I mostly liked the ample amount of swearing and some good gore scenes. The comedy mostly hit too. It’s a decent comedy horror but it’s not the film we (me) all wanted.Bobwallett GC: If you liked the comedy and the gore, what was your issue with it? The Resident Evil games rarely take themselves very seriously. Special recommendationI’ve barely been able to put down my Switch 2 controller since getting Zelda: Ocarina Of Time last week. What a fabulous job the developers have done with it, the graphics are fabulous and the slightly tweaked soundtrack is excellent. I’ve been a very keen gamer for over 35 years and have played many, many games on the many formats that I’ve owned but Ocarina Of Time just has to be the greatest game ever made. I don’t often use the word special about a game but this one really is, it genuinely is a masterpiece.Arteta26Legend Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk From IO with loveWill definitely second all the love for 007 First Light in the Reader’s Feature at the weekend and the discount on Friday. It’s my game of the year too and while I’m sure GTA 6 will overtake it, it’s a shame they both came out on the same year, as I’m sure IO Interactive could do with the publicity more. One thing that I’ve thought about with it, is that it’s probably not as expensive as you think either. IO aren’t that big, so I doubt they had that much money to splash around. They probably spent more money on the actors, and Lana Del Rey, than they did making the game and I say that as a tribute to their skills and being able to get things done without just throwing money at the problem. That’s only a guess, maybe they got a massive loan to do it or something, but I feel we would’ve heard about that if they did. And I can’t imagine they put all their savings into it, because a James Bond game at this point is not an instant seller. But what they pulled off is great, the best action game for years as far as I’m concerned.Tasker Reasonable argumentI don’t think there’s any reasonable person can argue that The Legend Of Zelda isn’t the best video game franchise ever. GTA might be popular but that doesn’t make it the best. If it does then by that logic Taylor Swift is the greatest singer ever and Avatar is the best film ever made. I don’t even hate GTA but people like it because it’s a sandbox. The fact that the driving and shooting isn’t that great is just something they put up with for the sake of the freedom. Personally, I’d rather have everything be great, and that’s what the best Zelda games do.Ade A week and a bitStarting to really get excited for GTA 6 now. When we get to Thursday it’ll be just one week to go, which seems almost hard to believe after all the waiting and delays and everything. Over 13 years since GTA 5 and yet it actually seems longer than that to me. I can barely remember a world without GTA Online, it seems that long ago. I am very curious to see how it reviews, now that Zelda: Ocarina Of Time has done so well, but I can’t imagine that most places won’t give it 10/10. The pressure from fans and readers will just be too much. You can just imagine the death threats and insults that are going to be flying if someone dares to give it 9/10, let alone less than that. I have no idea whether it’s going to deserve that or not, but I don’t feel that any Rockstar game gets treated the way it should at review, just because the amount of baggage. Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably their best game but it’s still got some problems, with the having to following instructions and the mediocre action, but you’ll be hard pressed to find any review taking issue with it. Which is actually surprising, because if Rockstar games only come out every decade or so then there’s not much they can do to threaten sites. It’s not like anyone got a proper preview anyway, so what have you got to lose?Lief Turning pointI can’t really disagree with the Reader’s Feature about Bethesda and Todd Howard. They’ve been getting slowly worse ever since Skyrim and either Sentinel is going to be their big comeback or it’ll be another drop in quality that is going to be skating the bottom of the barrel. I can’t really believe it’d be worse than Starfield though. Never say never but surely they must’ve learnt the lessons from that one. Although, thinking about it, I think the big problem for Bethesda is not so much Todd Howard but the fact that they never seem to learn from anything and keep making the same mistakes and not fixing the problems everyone has been telling them about for years.Renton Don't miss Gaming news!

Add us as a Preferred Source GameCentral has been delivering unique games news and reviews for over a decade Harder sequelThe response to Zelda: Ocarina Of Time seems to be nothing but positive so I think a remake of Majora’s Mask has got to be guaranteed at this point, especially given the technical connection between the two games. I do worry how much Nintendo will try and dumb it down though. They seem to have made Ocarina Of Time a lot easier and it was never that hard to begin with. Majora’s Mask was though, in terms of the baseline of difficulty and trying to work out what was going on. Add in the time limit and it seems a much harder sell to a modern audience than Ocarina Of Time would be. It’s also pretty short, in terms of the amount of dungeons and everything, so I’m not sure it’d work out so well without a major rethink and perhaps some new content. It’s interesting what does and doesn’t translate to modern times, but I think people definitely don’t have the patience and inquisitiveness that they used to. They just aren’t used to needing that for a video game. I do think it’s a shame Ocarina Of Time doesn’t have a hard mode and I wonder if they’re going to try and sell us that separately via Master Quest mode. Maybe they’ll feel Ocarina Of Time will have got people ready for Majora’s Mask, and they give it a bit more leeway. I hope so because I love that game.Astro Inbox also-ransI thought the Reader’s Feature by Darren Crozier was just the most beautiful and uplifting story I’ve read in a long time. Those are memories they will share for ever and a game has come out of that father-daughter relationship just magical.

I’ll be honest, if I’d got them as a pre-order bonus I’d sell them on eBay too. £700 is crazy.Womble Email your comments to: gamecentral@metro.co.uk The small printNew Inbox updates appear every weekday morning, with special Hot Topic Inboxes at the weekend.
