yes yes the i will say the interest was explosive when they first got announced and then you know leading up to their launch i'm like whoa dude this is i mean not only was interest in you know with viewership really popping off with that but you could also tell like dude people that i went to school with that i haven't talked to in years they were dusting off their ps4s and ps5s to hop back on call of duty like people that i know for a fact have not played call of duty in years are back so imagine when they actually remaster these games that's what i've been saying

But, like, with the news of dedicated servers, like, I feel like we're kind of, like, inching closer and closer to that.

I don't know if you get that feeling, too, but maybe it's kind of a signal showing, like, hey, like, we can do this, and, like, maybe we will push more in this direction.

Buddy Fajardi, what are you feeling right now, man? Do you feel like they got other ports in the back pocket? We still have World at War, MW.

Are they on the back burner in case something doesn't go smoothly the next few years? What are we thinking?
Yeah, I mean, obviously, I think the community has kind of spoken.
These have been very popular for the online sentiment and actually kind of hurt the sentiment of the main games.
People are kind of using it against them, but I still think it's been a... it's been a healthy thing for the community to go back and experience those games.
And I'm sure for someone like yourself, Merc, where, you know, you can kind of go back and revisit those to maybe a new audience or maybe some people that were from back in the day and just have fun and just troll around and do a bunch of, just do a bunch of freaking just out-of-pocket stuff.
That's truly, I think, one of the things that made it shine a lot for the community.
And if I were them, I'd be like, all right, remasters all day.
just start remastering these games, multiplayer campaign zombies might be pushing it a little bit, but that would be absolutely fantastic.
But yeah, I think the, the, the signals from the community should definitely at least toward MW two and MW three ports.
I think that'd be really cool.
