The Success of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare

Ever since the initial release of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare back on October 25th the game has become one of the hottest shooter titles of 2019. It was reported days later around October 30th that Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare had reached approximately $600 million in sales within the first three days of its release. In addition, to becoming a massive financial success it turns that Activision had managed to set new records with their latest Call Of Duty installment. It turns out that Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare not only had the best PC launch within the series but it also managed to become the most pre-ordered PS4 game ever. A lot of time and dedication went into creating Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare because the campaign mode was highly praised by critics and the online multiplayer gameplay only adds to its replay value. The digital opening for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare was also a sight to behold and has been recognized as the best that Activision has ever done. While Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare is definitely a stronger entry than last year’s installment COD: Black Ops IV some would place it on the same level as older entries within the series such as Modern Warfare 1-2 from 2007-2009 in relation to appeal.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 was definitely one of the most anticipated games of this year especially since many wondered how Activision was going to follow up on the release of Black Ops IV from October 2018. As people know Called Of Duty: Black Ops IV did not have a campaign mode which many people appreciated because they were able to focus more on the Battle Royale feature which was basically the main attraction for that game. This year’s Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare is appealing mainly for the storytelling aspect of the game as it relates to split-second decision making along with its non-linearity involving objectives within the single-player campaign mode. While the absence of a Zombie mode has been seen as negative their were way more positives in Call Of Duty: Modern Warefare 2019 that was worth the absence of a few older features that long time fans of the series loved in the past. With Black Friday and Christmas coming up soon there is no question that sales for Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare will skyrocket before the end of 2019.

While Project Scarlett is said to be at least four times stronger than the Xbox One X and is backwards compatible with older generation games many might argue that Sony has the slight advantage as far as appeal is concerned since they are about to move into their second generation of Virtual Reality gameplay.

Its no secret that Microsoft has not been crazy about asking Virtual Reality an essential feature in relation to their game consoles. Microsoft seems more interested in streaming along with cloud based services while providing players with an optimal gaming experience. While the Nintendo Switch provides limited Virtual Reality features with the Nintendo Labo for certain games its certainly not the main attraction for that game system. The Switch console has reached over 32 million units in sales since its release back in March 2017 despite VR not being a huge part of its appeal. While competition with. As it currently competition within gaming world is heating up especially with the upcoming launch of Google Stadia on PC and Chromecast Ultra along with Apple Arcade turning heads of many people.

For those who were very creative and were fond of composing music in some way Mario Paint has provided talented individuals to make their own songs using 16-bit sounds.

The music generator feature in Mario Paint is one that has remained popular since the early 90’s and people have often used it within the 10’s decade to remake famous songs from the past couple of decades on the internet. As popular as Mario Paint was back in the early 90’s the game never received a direct sequel for Super Nintendo, N64 it GameCube which was something that was always questionable. Some people find it bizarre that Nintendo never created another art-tool based Mario game since ’92.
