What's up guys this is M3RKMUS1C and I've got some brand new information about Call of Duty 2023 to
share with you guys today gonna be casually playing some more infinite Warfare because I
don't really care to play Modern Warfare 2 until the game gets new content all the contracts don't
reset yet I didn't even get a daily doplin looks like we're breaking out the good stuff yeah we
won't be breaking out the good stuff soon look at that which I think it goes without saying
if you guys want to see a massive supply drop opening on infinite Warfare make sure to drop
a like subscribe if you're new and with that being said let's dive into the latest Call of Duty 2023
news at the time of recording this video Charlie Intel has put out a bunch of different tweets from
Activision themselves a lot of this information has to do with you know how many microtransactions
Activision sold in 2022 how many monthly active users there are and how everything is going great
for Call of Duty I mean we're gonna skip all that I probably edited the screenshots on screen so
you can kind of see them if you want to pause you can check it out but that's not really the
big juicy information that I'm going to share with you right now it's this tweet that he put
out that really caught my attention he's saying here Activision says there's a quote full annual
premium release in the Call of Duty franchise launching this fall he followed It Up by saying
Bloomberg reported last year that this Fall's title would be an expansion to Modern Warfare 2
2. from Sledgehammer Games but Activision keeps calling this Falls release a quote full annual
premium release and this is the full statement from Activision across the Call of Duty franchise
our teams are working to amplify the success of the fourth quarter with 2023 plans including
even more engaging live Services across platforms and the next full annual premium release in the
Blockbuster series Charlie also followed this up by saying this is not a Treyarch game which
thank God I mean all of the leaks and rumors have been pointing to the fact that Treyarch
is going to have their release in 2024 giving them plenty of time to work on whatever Call of
Duty game they're going to release which in my opinion and a lot of other people's opinions as
well is desperately needed for track to produce a good Call of Duty game especially in the case
of Black Ops 4 Man Okay so let's talk about this what exactly does this mean for Call of Duty 2023
Charlie Intel was specifically fixated on the quote full annual premium release and for good
reason that specific choice of words makes it sound like they're working on a brand new Call
of Duty game I did see some tweets as a part of this conversation hinting at the idea oh
I just got gold dude got a triple rocket bomb what I'm gonna do distract about the infinite
Warfare what I'm trying to say is that I saw some tweets from some people hinting at the
idea that this next Call of Duty game could be a Remastered game maybe the original Modern Warfare
2 multiplayer remastered maybe Modern Warfare 3 remastered or Black Ops Remastered game but
I do have reason to believe that it's unlikely because when it comes to remastered Call of Duty
games Modern Warfare remastered is the only complete remastered Call of Duty game that we
have and even then it wasn't originally sold as its own game it was actually bundled with this
game infinite Warfare and the only other rematch recall to the game that we have at this point is
the Modern Warfare 2 campaign remaster and since they're saying this is a full annual premium
release I doubt it would be the original Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer remastered because that's
not a full Call of Duty game they would have to remaster every aspect of that game so yeah oh
you got a quad oh it's already way off screen now but there you go four piece but yeah if
we're not getting a remastered Call of Duty game for 2023 then what are we getting from everything
we've seen so far treyarch is not going to be working on Call of Duty 2023 whatever they're
making is coming out in 2024. Raven's working on Warzone 2 and Infinity Ward is working on Modern
Warfare 2. and it sounds like those studios are also getting support from sledgehammer and now
this latest news is hinting at the idea of Sledgehammer Games actually working on the
year 2 content for Modern Warfare 2. if you guys want my take on all of this information so far I
think it's really unlikely that we're going to be getting any kind of brand new Call of Duty game
this year however I do believe that Activision is being very careful with their wording in the
events that they do decide to release a different Call of Duty game if we go back to the numbers
that I was talking about earlier that I kind of skipped Activision has clearly stated that Modern
Warfare 2's launch was the biggest in franchise history it's made a ton of money and really the
only issue is that Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 have been facing so far is player retention and
a big part of that is not releasing any content and delaying season two on top of the fact that
the community has wanted a lot of things to be changed and improved and we really haven't gotten
any significant changes or updates to the game in quite a while the reason I'm so inclined to
believe that this is just going to be an expansion to Modern Warfare 2 is because of this wording in
the statement that they put out if we read this again very carefully you'll see this across the
Call of Duty franchise our teams are working to amplify the success of the fourth quarter like I
briefly mentioned Activision has basically been gloating about the fact that the fourth quarter
for them was insanely successful tons of sales of Modern Warfare 2 lots of microtransactions
were bought they said in their press release that the fourth quarter of 2022 was huge for
them so for them to say that they're working to amplify the success of the fourth quarter leads
me to believe that we're getting some kind of expansion for Modern Warfare 2. not a brand new
Call of Duty game unless of course that game's Modern Warfare 3 which would be kind of insane
even though I think this idea for an expansion is unlikely I think it would be insane we're in the
year 2023 this is the 20th anniversary of Call of Duty I think the coolest possible expansion they
could have for Modern Warfare 2 is actually to just add Modern Warfare 3 onto it this is the best
way I could describe it for this Modern Warfare 2 expansion for 60 to 70 dollars which is a premium
Call of Duty release at this point they would be selling us the next addition to the Modern
Warfare 2 Campaign which would basically be the Modern Warfare 3 campaign as far as it goes for
multiplayer they would basically be doubling the existing base Modern Warfare 2 weapons
and specifically be bringing back original Modern Warfare 3 weapons to the game now you have to keep
in mind that this is an expansion that would be coming out in Fall so by that point I would hope
that we have more maps in the game more game modes some of which would be brand new maps but there
would also be a lot of Modern Warfare 2 original Maps being remastered in this game so for the 2023
fall expansion they would be bringing in more maps and game modes from Modern Warfare 3 this
time around think like mission Hard Hats C-Town as well as game modes like Drop Zone and All or
Nothing for the co-op spec ops side of things they could bring back chaos mode for Modern Warfare 3
but as far as it goes for DMZ and War Zone 2 they either have to bring that content into those modes
as well or they have to come up with their own unique stuff that's essentially my wish list for
a Modern Warfare 3 expansion into modern warfare 2. doesn't mean it's gonna happen doesn't mean
it's likely I just think it would be a good idea we destroyed the scene you look at them helpless
oh my God now that's just one speculation for what this expansion could be it's kind of ironic
that we're playing on Terminal from the original Modern Warfare 2 right now because a lot of the
other speculations have been that this expansion is basically going to be a lot of the original
Modern Warfare 2 content being thrown into the game which is not bad but I feel like we could
be getting better content than just that at that rate it's basically like the remastering Modern
Warfare 2's multiplayer without actually doing that it's not a terrible idea but at the same
time you'd be paying 60 to 70 dollars just for the remastered multiplayer and even then if they did
that it still really wouldn't be the same there's so many different nuances and mechanics that make
the original Modern Warfare 2 very different than the new one that we have now they could
pump all of the original Modern Warfare 2 into the game but that doesn't mean that it's going
to feel and play like the original Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer you know like I was saying I don't
think it's a terrible idea I just don't think it's the best idea but yeah man I feel like
those are basically the two big speculations at this point now just keep in mind that none
of this is official this is not confirmed we do not have any kind of official information about
what this expansion is going to be bringing us I mean we still barely know anything about
season two for Modern Warfare 2 at this point I mean for multiplayer we're gonna be getting
hardcore and infected at the time of recording this video that's like the bulk of what we know
so far so when it comes to the year two expansion for Modern Warfare 2 yeah all of us are basically
throwing darts at a dartboard but I think the main reason this is so interesting to talk
about is because we've never had a year two for a Call of Duty game ever except for I guess Cod
mobile look at COD mobile look at COD online it hasn't been the case with the main Call of Duty
games but they have had some experience basically delivering extra years of contents to Cod games
maybe that was the master plan all along maybe the reason they had caught online and they now
have Call of Duty mobile is basically the test and see if they can get away with just releasing
One Call of Duty game and then supporting it for years after now unfortunately we all know
how Call of Duty online turned out they had to shut it down forever Activision did not renew
their contracts with the devs because the game was actually losing money the main reason for
that happening is the fact that China implements a new laws that restrict how long people can play
video games for but since that's not the case with Call of Duty mobile and it's a
very accessible game that game has continued to grow and Thrive over the years this whole thing
is just really strange to me man because they're basically treating Modern Warfare 2 like a live
service but you still have to pay a minimum of 70 dollars to get access to the entire entire game
I don't know man I just don't feel like they're completely ready to dive into this whole like free
to play Live service add content for tons of years kind of thing for the main Call of Duty games it
just does not work out the same it would be a completely different story if Call of Duty was
free to play Because when a game goes free to play there's way more people playing and especially
in the case of Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer this would boost the numbers significantly
dude I'm popping off nope I FTL jumped out of there didn't waste it I've got to see this
it didn't even do it on the screen I think one of the biggest mistakes they've made with modern
warfare 2's multiplayer and this kind of applies to Modern Warfare 2019 Cold War and Vanguard as
well is the fact that they basically turned all these games as multiplayers into live service
games but they're still charging 60 plus dollars for the base version of multiplayer now obviously
you get campaign and zombies and other things too I get that but I think over these last four years
what a lot of us have noticed is that multiplayer has been taking a pretty hard hit we're getting
less content especially original content in these Call of Duty games we're getting less content and
updates at crucial times when we need it the most and pretty much every single time there's a new
season for these Call of Duty games we're getting less content than when we used to buy map packs
foreign
let's win fto head I unlocked the head we lost by one kill boy that thing is a laser catch a price
what the [ __ ] sometimes the thing no
no dude I got 4000 just straight up unlock a gun now dude I can finally get the ax I could get the
udum sniper pistol I honestly don't know what to get on infinite Warfare but I'm gonna wait
I'm gonna open up all the drops first but I definitely want to hear from you guys what do
you think about the possibilities for Call of Duty 2023 do you guys think it's possible that
this could be the first time in a long time that we're not getting a brand new Call of Duty game
for the year and if we really are getting a 60 expansion to Modern Warfare 2 what would
you like to see in that expansion I definitely want to hear you guys thoughts on this because
this is something that we've never seen before in a Cod game overall at this point I think my
opinions on having an expansion for Modern Warfare 2 are kind of mixed It's just tough
man I'm not totally opposed to the idea of a Call of Duty game having an expansion and
getting more content over time I'm just not 100 sure if Modern Warfare 2 is that game at
this point in Modern Warfare 2 there's like this giant massive laundry list of changes and things
that people want to come to the game and if it's not coming in season two or the season two refresh
or even season three you're gonna lose a lot of players and they might not even be inclined to
care about year two unless of course year two is just [ __ ] amazing like most things we'll just
have to wait and see how it plays out I really do hope that Modern Warfare 2 can really get it
together become a better game so we'll actually care about a year two expansion by the time that
comes out I do want to say that even though my feelings about this overall are mixed I
think it does lean more in a positive direction mostly because of what happened with Vanguard I
mean cold war is kind of the prime example of a game that would have been pretty decent to have
a second year of content for even though it's not necessarily my favorite Call of Duty game
I just think treyarch games might work better for having multiple years of content because
of zombies that's kind of the biggest thing that we're going to be missing here by having a year
two expansion is the fact that we don't even have zombies the entirety of the zombies Community for
Call of Duty is going to be missing out if we don't get a brand new game but at the same time
that's where it's so conflicting because I don't really want a brand new Call of Duty game in 2023
I would like to see them try an expansion see how it goes and not have to release another brand new
Call of Duty game that might end up just being really bad because it gets rushed out especially
if Sledgehammer Games is making that game dude I mean imagine if we got like Vanguard too I think
every single one of us can agree that that would suck ass so with that being said Thank you guys
very much for watching I hope you guys enjoyed watching me talk about the latest Cod 2023 news
about playing some dank and infinite Warfare if you guys did enjoy this video and you're looking
forward to whatever Call of Duty 2023 is make sure to drop a like I'll see you guys later!
