The gaming community at large has been forced to sit by and watch our beloved Call Of Duty franchise slide into mediocrity and cheap gimmicks from what was humble beginnings and genuine ingenuity which peaked with the ultimate success that was Call Of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. Considered the pinnacle of first person shooters in both its' online and campaign modes, Modern Warfare captured the hearts and minds of gamers worldwide and still ranks in the top 20 for number of servers on www.gametracker.com - outdoing its successors.

The franchise begun a downward spiral into increasingly gimmicky game mechanics, poorly written single player campaigns and multiplayer modes that appeared to systematically remove the need for skill to excel, thus removing the potential for enjoyment for many skilled players. Yearly releases since the franchise was established is also noted as a negative aspect, while sales figures do not reflect this.

Finally the dissatisfaction peaked with the franchises most recent installment - Black Ops 3. Although many Call Of Duty titles have received immense criticism for their play style, and despite Black Ops 3 breaking sales records in 2015, it is widely regarded as the worst edition of the series, both artistically and in respect to game mechanics. No doubt many of these sales are due to both loyal fans testing the game hoping their doubts were unfounded, and the massive increase in gaming culture, with the games market now reaching much wider audiences than ever before.



This petition is an appeal to Infinity Ward and Activision to make the sale of their new installment - 'Call Of Duty: Infinite Warfare' available separate from the remastered version of their timeless classic "Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare". It's difficult to estimate the number of people that would be wholehearted overjoyed at the opportunity to play Modern Warfare in a competitive online environment with updated textures, models and resolution, but are not interested in the slightest in trying a new Call Of Duty, namely 'Infinite Warfare', but there is no doubt it would number well into 5 or 6 digits.
