Activision has continued to struggle to make an impact on PC for quite some time, with the only Steam top 100 player count entry being two-year-old Black Ops 3. It doesn’t seem that the release of the standalone has boosted its Steam player count, with a peak of just 452 players on the night of release. The Steam community has been vocal about this, along with the displeasure of the price tag, performance issues, addition of supply drops and hackers in multiplayer. A lot of developers are coming to learn that charging player for maps ends up splitting the player base, increasing queue times for a match and pushing owners away from the game. Not everything is sunshine and rainbows for the remaster, however, as an £11.59 ($15) DLC pack is now available on Steam containing just 4 maps. Activision has free content planned out as a part of its “Days of Summer” event, releasing a breach-based map for all owners of the game.
The remaster includes the full campaign from the original, alongside 16 tweaked multiplayer maps. Sony was the first to be graced by Modern Warfare Remastered last month but with its exclusivity coming to an end, the title is finally available for Xbox One and PC players to grab a copy for £34.99 ($40). It was less of an if and more of a when we would see the title break off into a standalone release, and after a long wait, the publisher has heeded demand with the remaster finally available on most platforms. In a controversial decision, Activision chose to release its remaster of the acclaimed Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in an exclusive highly-priced bundle alongside last year’s Infinite Warfare.
