TL;DR: A decent remake weighed down by Activisions greed. 2/5

A remake of COD4 sounds like it came straight from one of my wet dreams. It's done really well too, the visuals are done well enough to make it look like it belongs on the current gen, From intense firefights in the desert streets in the middle east, to the eerie atmosphere of Ukraines abandoned city it all looks top notch. The sound effects have also been bumped up conciderably while still holding true to the original. Guns still sound as iconic as they first did in 2007, It all sounds crisper and clearer and you can tell there has been a-lot of love put into this title.

The overall gameplay plays the same as Cod4 did back in 2007 and it all feels really smooth, responsive and what you would expect from a modern shooter title. The multi-player also adds new challanges, finally prestige for the PC version of Cod4, a bunch of new camo's and all the classic stuff you got from the original multi-player. Unfortunately this is where the negatives start to pile up and cracks really show.. We are now greeted with the "depot" which is basically the same pay to win bulls**t from the last few COD titles. IMO this does not belong in a $70-90 game period but it is a huge kick in the face here to all the old COD4 veterans. This is the kind of crap thats seen in free to play games and its increasing presence in full priced titles is concerning. There are a few arguments that can be made in favor of this mechanic, but honestly it's just a half assed money grab thrown in a classic title that has no place to be there. The other negatives that effect multi-player is the lack of dedicated servers on PC, matchmaking works fine for consoles and games with a high playerbase but the fact this game is shoved in with COD infinite something (never going to install it) and the fact that they are pushing new titles every year to thin out their playerbase as much as possible. Finding a server with a low latency is basically impossible without any form of dedicated server system and jumping into multi-player you are guarenteed to lag your ass off.

My last and biggest gripe with this game is, as stated above that this game is shoved in with another COD game that no-one wanted. If you purchased the special edition of infinite warefare chances are you only did it for the remastered version of COD. It's such a shame because this remaster is really well done, it looks beautiful, sounds amazing and is a huge nostolgia trip for me personally. But the unashamed cash grabs by activision make me loathe actually playing it, you're better off just playing the original if you want a Cod 4 experience on PC.
