I would even go as far as it predict that if things are on any line or trajectory to release that we will see some
Type of teaser whether it be small
Or significant sometime in April and if not in April there has to be something early May or you can really start to
dig into the
Reality that we may not see a new triple a Call of Duty titles issue
Call of duty 2020 has a lot of people talking including myself
But not because of the actual content or any teasers or anything
mainly because of what it's going to mean for the community what it's actually going to look like and because of the state of the
world
right now now obviously we're in the middle of
Crazy stuff and events are being canceled left and right all over the world in an effort
to maintain public health
Tons of games are getting delayed because of Studio shutting down for the time being and a lot of the world is kind of at
A standstill right now as we wait this thing out
but this is a Call of Duty channel my friends and
Something a lot of people have been talking about recently is how all of this is going to impact Call of Duty 2020
I understand in the bigger picture. It's a video game
it's not what is important but there are people looking forward and looking ahead to see what
Is going to happen now the game we already think it was in a rough spot and today
I want to see if we can dig into the details of everything we have regarding cod 2020
We can go over the possible outcomes start a discussion about what we think is actually best for the series
So you guys let me know let me know what you want from Call of Duty 2020 drop a like make sure you have those
Notifications turned on and let's go
Let's lay the groundwork right now
Call of Duty 2020 was in development by sledgehammer games and according to recent leaks reported by the gaming revolution
it was a new cod sub series set in the cold war, but
Tensions were high between sledge hammer and their supporting studio Raven Software and things weren't coming together. So
Allegedly about nine months ago Treyarch was sent in by
Activision to completely take over the project and they decided to convert the work into a black ops reboot
Once again, this is all speculation
Not much of sledgehammers existing work was supposedly reused and reskin in order to fit tray arks new vision of the game
But that does not change the fact that it's a modern
Triple-a game that hasn't even been in development for I guess a year technically
so even without all the world of its I don't think the game was in a very good spot to start with so
That happened around July of 2019. Let's fast forward a few months this this
Global pandemic spreads and the global economy largely comes to a halt
So around February
we started learning more and more about events and games being cancelled or pushed back in order to comply with all the new guidelines to
Slow down the spread the ESL pro league was moved from land online
the 2020 pokemon world championship
cancelled over walk level overwatch league was reworked and schedule their rescheduled III completely canceled and that's that's just a
smidgen a small
piece of the pot
The switch port of the outer worlds has been delayed the later chapters of the Final Fantasy
7 remake are rumored to be getting delayed in many of
2020s biggest releases like The Last of Us
2 and ghosts of Toshima are rumoured to be getting delayed as well as both of the I mean because the lack of people that
Are able to work on the finishing touches, but also because many retailers are closed right now
And that's not even getting into the Xbox or the new Playstation 5
Triple-a game development is pretty much non-existent right now
and as you know
these games are developed in big offices with
Everybody's computers all connected to one another and all the employees have to sign contracts making sure they won't show off any of the work
NDA's all that good stuff most offices
They're closed now because you're not supposed to have big groups of people in one place
And obviously these big publishers aren't going to let a whole bunch of developers take their work home with them
That's just asking for more leaks and breaches of copyright. So what happens now as I said before?
Cod 2020 is reportedly in a pretty rough spot according to the leaks
Playtesters have been rather happy with where the game is right now, but it's also nowhere near done
Keep in mind Treyarch hasn't exactly been on the community's
Good side over the last few years as they launched black ops 4 in
2018 completely broken in a full batch of recycled content assets and then post launch
Updates were slow and many things were unfixed and then we're not gonna talk about the monetization in that game
Call of Duty is a huge game and every year it seems there are launch problems world war 2 black ops 4 modern warfare
All had rough launches in constant server issues in this ledge the patches needing to be done rushed out time and time again
So when you're thinking about releasing a cod game in the current climate
You have to remember it's not just a matter of finishing the game and getting it gold
You also need to be sure that you have the workforce ready to patch it up and keep an eye on it
Once servers go live and I think we all know this isn't going to work right now
The devs probably have to assume right now. Their support force is going to be limited
Once the game comes out if it does without rocky development on the game is itself
I don't know just how much of a risk Activision is willing to take with the stability of the game, especially
after three rocky Cod launches in a row, but
Black ops isn't the only thing Cod related going on
Modern warfare 2 s campaign was recently remastered and despite Activision saying there was no plans to remaster the multiplayer
Fans are talking right now on Twitter and they're not convinced
multiple sources including the gaming revolution have stated the modern warfare 2's multiplayer has already been remastered and sitting on the shelf and
Activision cancelled an effort to not split the player base from modern warfare
2019 in warzone I shouldn't have to tell you that the community definitely has not been happy about this decision
But let me offer you guys a silver lining
do you remember back when modern warfare came out and the developers and Activision said there were no plans for a battle route even though
Everybody knew there was a PR in the works Activision in iw well
They had to cover it up a little bit what they were working on and many companies do this the same people who people who?
predicted everything about the modern warfare 2 campaign remastered are also saying right now that
modern warfare 2's multiplayer is completely remastered and done but
Activision is deciding against releasing it now. This could always change
They don't want to release the multiplayer because they don't want to split the player base
but what happens in a few months when that player base dies down what happens when the time comes later this year to release a
New cod game if cod 2020 isn't ready. Well, despite it being April. We haven't gotten any answers on teasers or anything like that
They could just go with modern warfare 2's multiplayer
Right if they had to I mean it's odd considering on a normal year. We we usually have teasers now and I know
activision is a rough spot right now because I think we all know that Cod 2020 is not going to be very polished but
we also know that Modern Warfare 2019 is not going to hold people over another year until Cod 2021, but
but
war zone and modern warfare 2
remastered
That could do it and that could give them that breathing room that full year to get it ready
So here's what I'm thinking
either cod 2020 is going to be released later this year and it's going to be rather patchy and underwhelming or
Activision could just say screw it and release modern warfare 2 is remaster multiplayer in place of a main rhein-main line release now during
Activision's investor calls earlier this year
They did say a new Cod would come out late 2020
But they didn't say who was making it or what it was going to be called
So they do have a little bit of wiggle room and at the end of the day
confessors only care about what makes them
Money so as much as I would love to see a black ops reboot in the new modern warfare engine
I do think it's probably a good idea to give them another year
Let it cook in the oven make sure everything is ready after all
You don't want to be the fourth Cod game in a row to have a bad launch
And as for this year's release I say why not dump the modern warfare 2 multiplayer warzone has it has shelf life. It's good
It's got staying power if they stay on it and keep it updated
I mean, I know modern warfare multiplayer hasn't been receive the best but it's got a community
It's no secret that the next Cod game really has to bring the community back together
We say that every year I know but it's been divided for years jetpacks and boots on the ground
So what better way than to play it safe release modern warfare 2 remastered multiplayers
This year's offering while you're pushing warzone and go that way
I know it may be wishful thinking but I think it's a much better idea to release the rest of mw2 and
Focus on warzone and roll the dice on black ops as a reboot if it's not ready for October November
I really want black ops rebooted. I think it's gonna be fantastic
When it comes I just think what's better for the franchise right now is to go this way
I I don't see the logic behind a lot of things that Activision has been doing with cod legs
I think they really want to bring things back. This is what they do. You guys let me know what you think
I will keep you updated on anything new we should seeing some type of teasers if things are on any path
to be released
this fall I would even go as far as to predict that if things are on any line or trajectory to release that we will
See some type of teaser whether it be small
or significant
sometime in April and if not in April there has to be something early May or you can really start to dig into the
Reality that we may not see a new triple a Call of Duty title this year
We may actually be going the other direction which I already said
I'm okay with that, especially how things worked out with warzone
It was a huge success it launched at the exact perfect time. So why not take that?
Take that momentum
Give them modern warfare 2 remastered
Multiplayer with noob tubes and commando lunges and one-man-army and let everybody have a good fall
and as always
I
