Alongside the announcement of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, publisher Activision said that it doesn’t want to fracture the franchise’s community anymore. According to the press release, it will achieve this by supporting cross-play and ditching the series’ controversial Season Pass. However, there’ll still be timed exclusive content on the PS4.
Despite rumours to the contrary, it looks like Sony’s marketing arrangement is still very much in place, and the PlayStation branded trailer for the new game confirms that PlayStation owners will get access to certain content seven days early. It’s obviously not a particularly big deal in the grand scheme of things, but it does make a mockery of the series’ new unified vision.
Of course, if you’re planning to purchase the first-person shooter on the PS4 – as we’re assuming many of you reading are – then know that you can look forward to testing out some of the title’s new content first. Are you bothered by this at all? Do you think that Sony should reconsider the nature of its marketing deals moving forwards? Pay the Price in the comments section below.

wow, i actually thought the deal was over. I guess we wont see it at MS conference?
Xbox and PC fanboys will be mad. LUL
It's just seven days so who really cares?
The day we can't wait 7 days is every single day.
7 days is nothing, when you look at Rockstar for example who makes pc player wait for over a year or longer (Gta V) RDR 2 too probably.
What ever Sony paid for this is too much, this just pisses people off. I love 3rd party exclusive games but this ain't that, some overpriced little map packs shouldn't be held hostage for 7 days.
@Juanalf This was just like last Gen when Microsoft used to Have Dlc For Months or even a Year before it came to the playstation
Ugh. More pointless money-throwing.
I found it stupid when MS did it. I feel the same now that Sony is doing it.
COD 4 got a remaster and now is getting a re-imagining. Although I quite liked COD 4 when I was in high school and it is the entry in the series I played the most of, I feel like this is kinda proof that they are actually out of ideas.
