Call of Duty was once undefeatable even the worst Call of Duty game would sell tens of millions
of copies and dominate the sales chart every single year but ever since Modern Warfare 2019
things have shifted the franchise has been on an undeniable downward slope due to many many widely
hated changes to the core formula I mean you got your strict performance based matchmaking you got
removing the classic Prestige system drastically speeding up the time to kill and creating maps
and Equipment pieces that are deliberately made to help bad players welcome to the channel everybody
Jimmy or chaos I'm going to explain how Modern Warfare 3 2023 may have already flopped now stick
around for the entire video and then you can give me your opinion at the end as well modern Call of
Duty is completely different from the game that made it popular in the first place and Activision
is starting to I think feel the consequences of pushing away their core audience with Modern
Warfare 2 being what it is you would think that the publisher would be eager to leave the game
behind and move on to something new but it's not that simple Call of Duty 2023 may be completely
dead in the water later this year we may actually witness the single worst performing game in the
franchise's history you let me know what you think about Cod 2023 after you hear all the Intel that
I'm gonna go over with you let me know in the comments one thing that Modern Warfare 3 needs
to succeed if you think it's even possible and I don't want it to be dead on arrival I want Cod to
go back to the Glory Days but that may be wishful thinking so for those of you who are somehow
out of the loop let me get you in let me get you caught up to speed according to trustworthy inside
sources Modern Warfare 2 is going to be a two-year game the first in the Call of Duty franchise but
for one reason or another Activision changed course they decided to turn the in-development
paid expansion into its own Standalone game and it will likely be titled Modern Warfare
3. Sledgehammer Games was working on the Modern Warfare 2 DLC and it was reportedly going to
be a pretty hefty package featuring a lot of new maps and even some new story based single player
content which would have made it the first Cod campaign DLC since the Cod 4 days but Activision
has since confirmed multiple times the new Call of Duty game is coming out later this year and
in this video we're going to go over everything now League season has officially begun for the
new Call of Duty little details have started trickling out from some reputable sources the
same people that always leaked Cod stuff before it's revealed a couple weeks ago it was leaked in
a couple throwback Maps like terminal and scrap yard we're going to be part of Modern Warfare
3's multiplayer presumably at launch and there were even some screenshots that started floating
around the internet of the maps in the new Cod engine now I will admit they look nice but it
remains BC if the layouts have been altered and I should also point out that scrapyard was actually
remade as part of Modern Warfare 2019 so I'm not sure why it's coming back again but whatever I'm
sure Sledgehammer is going to heavily be banking on Nostalgia this time around so I guess it's not
that shocking that this fan favorite would be coming back again but in addition to all those
map leaks we're getting to that point of the Year where various inside sources are starting to tweet
out actual gameplay details since by this point the game should be up and running and various Cod
influencers will actually probably see the game with their own eyes one way or another now I know
that's vague but that's genuinely how it works in the world of cod insiders trust me I know
there comes a point in the year when one way or another gameplay of the new Cod makes its rounds
to influencers through Discord and Twitter DMS and emails and they start tweeting out vague things
about it now fortunately just about everything I've seen from the influence and leakers about
Modern Warfare 3 has been negative a few days ago trusted leaker hey I'm Alex on Twitter
simply tweeted out Modern Warfare 3 with a vomit Emoji he was asked whether the game was closer
to Modern Warfare 2019 or its sequel to which he responded the new game will be closer to Modern
Warfare 2 which probably isn't what he wanted to hear in fact he flat out called it Modern Warfare
2 2.0 in a later tweet so if you see someone that's been pushed away recent from CoD game
design doesn't sound very promising now when you consider how this game started development I guess
it shouldn't be too shocking that Modern Warfare 3 is basically going to be round two of the last
Modern Warfare but I think many of us were hoping for something different old school Cod players
like myself probably remember that the development of the original Modern Warfare 3 from 2011 it was
hectic and cut short and ironically this led to Activision calling in Sledgehammer to help instead
of leaving all the work to IW I mean seriously the parallels between the development of the two
Modern Warfare 3s is kind of creepy the original was largely built out of recycled assets from the
first two modern warfare games because of its Rush development cycle but Sledgehammer was still able
to introduce new mechanics new gameplay changes despite the skeleton being nearly identical to its
predecessor now remember classic Modern Warfare 3 introduced The Specialist strike package the
support stripe package and it removes stopping power and jug to make combat more balanced it
also introduced a more in-depth camo system it was pretty cool it introduced infected Drop Zone
Face-Off massive list of game modes some of which were even Community made the point I'm getting at
is the original Modern Warfare 3 was a completely new experience despite being made from assets from
other games now we flip the coin seems like the new Modern Warfare 3 is basically going to be
Modern Warfare 2 2022 a second time which honestly is gonna kill some of the hype for it sounds to me
like Sledgehammer wasn't given the time or freedom to do something unique with the game and all they
can do at this point basically repackage their original expansion as a full-fledged game and
let me tell you the community they're not happy about that assuming these leaks are legit and
they're all alleged right now it makes total sense why Activision has been waiting as long as humanly
possible to reveal the game because they probably already know how bad the backlash is going to
be but this may end up getting worse than the infinite Warfare reveal yeah we're in July guys
no reveal despite Activision trying to keep Modern Warfare 300 wraps they still have to be open with
their investors the publisher has obviously made it no secret there's a new premium Call of Duty
offering coming later this year and when a judge at the FTC hearings actually straight up said that
the new CoD game was coming out in November the official Call of Duty Twitter had some fun with it
seemingly confirming it was true now some sources have also claimed that Activision is internally
calling this the most advanced Call of Duty game of all time and investors well for their investors
which is a little rich but okay every single year Activision says some kind of groundbreaking label
attached to the new Call of Duty game and most advanced ever is vague enough that it could really
mean anything most advanced Graphics most advanced system requirements most advanced release date I
don't know most advanced artwork who knows but Activision will hold on to that for as long as
they can because they have investors now here's where it gets rough they're in for a really rough
battle over the next five months the game is allegedly coming out in November we have not got
an official title reveal or even a teaser trailer which is extremely late in the season for COD
reveal dates very from game to game but typically Activision reveals the Call of Duty for a given
year in the second quarter somewhere between April and June and that's after lots of teasers in game
and online and leaks but there hasn't been any of that for COD 2023 and while I'm making this video
we don't even know if it's officially called Modern Warfare 3. they're running out of time
to build up hype they are because it launches in five months or less so simply put the Cod
Community may be getting tired of being led astray by Cod marketing and it's gotten to the point that
I don't know if it's even possible for Activision which is the hype team to Hype up Cod 2023 after
so many years of hearing about how each new Call of Duty is the biggest and the best ever or the
most advanced ever people are starting to get tired of it they don't believe it Cod marketing
has gotten predictable and no amount of hype is going to distract the community from how upset
they are at the franchise now unless Modern Warfare 3 is revealed with a bunch of actual
gameplay footage and it looks better than the last two I don't think anybody's gonna get stoked about
it I don't the core Cod multiplayer audience has been pushed away so thoroughly that they can't
be relied upon to support the franchise the only way to get those people back is to prove you heard
them but with the report saying the new game is basically just the old game I don't think you're
hearing them Activision has been in hot water for months on end after countless controversies and
poor game management they're probably one of the most hated Publishers in the industry right now
in Call of Duty isn't the most liked mix those mix them together you've got a game that is hard
to Market if nobody cares about Cod 2023 nobody's talking about it what happens starts to feel like
there isn't a single person who even wants and I know that's not true but after Cod Vanguard Modern
Warfare 2 the community just wants an old school feeling CoD game that brings everybody together
with classic progression and gameplay Loops but sadly we don't get that anymore we don't
but I mean it's not just the marketing over the last few months Call of Duty social media presence
has taken a nosedive in terms of Engagement it also didn't help that recent controversies meant
that for the last few weeks the majority of their posts have gotten ratioed which never looks good
when the page is trying to sell you something now the official Cod Twitter page has over 4.6 million
followers but many of their tweets fail to break a thousand lights heck the announcement on July 7th
announcing a surprise 24 hours of Double XP got 680 likes in the first 24 hours I I mean if you're
one of the biggest brands in gaming you have a following of over 4.6 million that just shows
that people aren't excited it was also recently confirmed that Call of Duty's presence on PC is
a massive part of their Market reportedly much bigger than Xbox share of the Cod market now that
sounds good Call of Duty increasing its presence on the PC where it was almost entirely dead but
that means the steam charts data for Warzone and Modern Warfare 2 are much more relevant that's
not good if you're a shareholder Xbox Live and PSN don't report player counts at least not officially
but anyone can go to steam charts and look exactly how many players are on certain games assuming
they launch the game through Steam and I'm betting the vast majority of cod's PC player base is on
Steam instead of battlenets it's a PC market is such a huge part of cod's presence it's probably
a big red flag to Activision that they recently dropped out to the steam top 10 and it's a bad
Trend now according to steam charts on Friday July 7th Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 combined
to have over 70 000 people playing putting it at number 12. this means this game is getting
beaten out by GTA 5 7 days to die Team Fortress 2 Apex Legends Pub G I mean that's not a good look
that's not the Call of Duty you remember that would dominate those games Activision loves to
keep their user data a secret now but according to all public sources Call of Duty has fallen
off over the last couple years and there is not a lot of hype for the future of the series the fact
that they're still choosing to launch new Call of Duty game in just five months kind of blows
my mind I mean you can cancel it you could go back to your Modern Warfare 2 uh two-year
deal but I don't know now I don't want to be completely down on the game because I think
there's a handful of ways that Sledgehammer may actually be able to make things better
for starters Sledgehammer does tend to have a much more straightforward map design if they're making
new maps for the game I think I think that could be a pretty massive buff to the overall experience
even if nothing about the gameplay changed a lineup of smaller fast-paced three-lane Maps
could go a long way in mitigating some of those problems with the Modern Warfare 2 experience
I also think some of the very minor changes to the health and damage stats could be super helpful
but I'm not sure if that's going to happen since the early leaks are suggesting the experience is
very similar to Modern Warfare 2 that wicked fast time to kill it's one of its defining attributes
I just hope I'm wrong now I suppose it's possible Sledgehammer is given the freedom to make the game
more arcadey like cod used to be with the overlay maybe the movement speeds but remember a lot of
the gameplay decisions they are coming from a desire to appeal the worst players so the fact
that you and I want fast-paced action-packed arcade Cod gameplay doesn't really matter
in order for these gameplay issues to be resolved Activision has to allow the developers to make
something fundamentally different from the last few Call of Duty games and that simply
it's probably not happening there's just no way that it happened yet and even if Activision did
come to that realization Sledgehammer hasn't been getting nearly enough time to make it happen now
in case you didn't hear all the same sources that have been leaking everything correctly year after
year after year I've come out with some Hard dates for us regarding Modern Warfare 3 and
its pre-launch hype campaign according to the sources Modern Warfare 3's first beta will be
exclusive to the PS4 and the PS5 it will run from October 6th through October 10th so less
than three months from the time you're watching me second beta weekend will open to everyone
and run the following week from the 12th of the 16th The Campaign Will launch a bit early on all
platforms for those who pre-order the game so you should be able to get the campaign on November 2nd
but the full game Launches on the 10th across all platforms there will also be a new Warzone
season launching alongside season one of cod 2023 and that is supposed to happen on December
5th a few weeks after the game launches and yes you heard me right Cod 2023 will be doing the
seasonal system again just like every other CoD game since Modern Warfare 2019. allegedly take
that as you will at this point I don't know if it's possible for it to succeed the game
will surely make money it'll be one of the best selling games of the year Call of Duty always is
and I'm absolutely certain the game is going to severely underperform because of the lack of hype
and the absence of early year marketing or teases we're almost to the middle of July they haven't
confirmed the game's title they're going to sit on it as long as they can obviously we're seeing that
once it's officially confirmed that Cod 2023 is a full price expansion of Modern Warfare 2 that
not people not not many people wanted I have a feeling the backlash is going to be heavy at
this point they're likely I mean they could cut their losses with Modern Warfare 3 push it out
make whatever money they can and let Treyarch save the franchise Treyarch are the franchise saviors
they are if they can cook something up for 2024 that addresses everybody's concerns with modern
Cod and they're actually given the freedom to give us an old school experience back maybe salvageable
thousand bull I don't know if Modern Warfare 3 flops and Treyarch's next game isn't incredible
I mean treyar might not even be able to get things back on track it's such a downward spiral it is so
what do you guys think about the current state do you think there's any hope for Modern Warfare 3
or are you already writing the game off you let me know in the comments make sure you subscribe
to the channel I mean I'll cover anything that comes up and I'll see you guys soon
thank you
