We finally have details on what the future holds for Warzone, and how it'll integrate with MW and BOCW content. Sounds like they absolutely nailed it, and I'm very excited for what's to come.

Full intel here:

Can't wait for COD branded HDDs and SSDs to come with the games themselves.

I love how they combine these two games with each other.

I fucking hate that it's in Warzone.

 

[Kssio_Aug]

Will both MW an CW offer the option to uninstall Warzone?

Disappointing there is not a black ops warzone map, i guess it will come in due time.

 

[delirium trigger]

How much has Modern Warfare made so far, couple billion? A new map would be nice. A couple of new maps wouldn't hurt. It really is a joke how lazy they are.

Not to mention they'll have to trademark stagnation. By the end of the gen supporting older titles will be a constraint.

All weapons contents in the MW engine?? Well for one we know they will look, sound and animate at their best. Won't be jarring going back to mp in treayrch engine nope...
Also can't wait to see how broken and unalanced the black ops aresenal will be in warzone.

Disappointing there is not a black ops warzone map, i guess it will come in due time.

Supposed to be in march, also read rumors of Alcatraz blackout map coming back in some form.

I really like that they’re not just upending their BR again. I think Fortnite and Apex have shown that a measure of consistency and constant evolution over time, is the way to go with these.

I don’t personally play, but I know a lot of people love Warzone, even independently of MW, and want it to continue (perhaps with a bit more spicing up).

 

[a multicultural team of v]

Sounds like there is Modern Warfare stuff, there is Cold War stuff, and Warzone gets ALL of it.

Which is awesome, but damn is that going to be a pain for them. They aren't even the same engine so everything must be done twice probably. And going from Cold War to Warzone will be jarring - not that I care because lol playing regular CoD.

They are going to have so many fucking guns though, at some point what will the difference even be between most of them?

 

[Evangelion Unit-01]

A lot going on there. A lot of good solutions to integrate the games. Credit where credit is due.

Still, we wouldn't need this crazy level of integration if they would move to a platform model and keep Modern Warfare as the active title. Just build on that. No reason to release a new title annually. Cut down on development costs and enjoy the seasonal model that Siege, Fortnite, Overwatch, CSGO, etc have enjoyed. Could even do some sort of hybrid seasonal/annual expansion model like Destiny. Lots of options that don't involve splitting up player base, maintaining multiple dev teams, and not fully maximizing the income on the previous title.

 

[TheKratos]

Very disappointed. No new map, same shitty mechanics. I wanted something fresh not freakin WZ with just CW guns..

 

[bucyou]

i just want extinction back

 

[Daffy Duck]

Sounds good, but also from experience of XP issues in MW it sounds like lots to go wrong lol

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

The engine will still be the same or the game will be replicated in Cold War Engine?

 

[FlyLo]

If there's no new map around launch for warzone, big wtf.

 

[Stuart360]

Its about time they released a new map. Really surprised it seems Cold War is not releasing its own map. Even Apex is on its 3rd map now.

 

[MrS]

If there's no new map around launch for warzone, big wtf.

I used to think this way until I realised that most new maps in BR games end up being trash and spell the beginning of the end. New maps in PUBG were hot garbage. The launch of World's Edge in Apex is when a lot of people dropped the game. Fortnite has the right idea of just iterating on 1 map. Hope this can be done with Verdansk.

 

[a multicultural team of v]

It's weird but the minor changes to Verdansk have managed to keep it fresh to me somehow. Also, the website literally says this, so there is definitely a new map in store:

experience memorable moments as the Cold War heats up across Verdansk (and beyond) in the months and seasons ahead.

i still fire up alcatraz blackout just to have some stupid fun from time to time, loved that map

 

[StreetsofBeige]

It happens.

And there's no context either.

Every company I've worked at are big Fortune 500 kinds of companies making shitloads of money. We fire people too. And every one of them I saw fired were either really old 60 year old legacy kinds of people working at the company for 35 years they want to get rid of due to costs and wanting new blood, a corporate restructuring (redundancy) or they got fired because they were bad at their jobs or had major attitude.

I have never seen one person get fired who was an employee everyone liked, did a good job, seemed to be within budget and wasnt part of a downsizing/restructuring where every department is required to gas some people.

I've seen people fired in 2 months for being that bad at their job (didn't even reach 3 month probation period).

Even Vanguard is better than CW =\ Anything is better than CW.
