Don't know why they'd bother though, as expected the removal of campaign did nothing for BO4 sales despite the vocal minority online. People just don't care and I assume the Campaign is quite expensive to make.

Maybe it did alright in the US, but it obviously must have underperformed in other regions if they are putting one back in.

Black Ops 4 definitely did not under-perform. The exclusion of the campaign in it was an exception, because they chose to focus on the introduction of Battle Royale in COD and the zombies component also had more content at launch. only maybe 1% of COD's playerbase truly cares about the singleplayer, and even then, a good amount of that percent will get the game regardless.

My workmate thinks they'll try and move into a more service model design with their 2 biggest franchises. MW and BO. MW will release and then be updated over and over. BO will do the same. Much like Overwatch and Fortnite do. But not sure if that's a sensible idea based on their market. 2021 won't have a CoD.



Hmm, pie.

That would make their decision to simplify it's name actually make sense.

Yeah and TBH I think it would work for them financially too. As much as we hate Microtransactions they make a fortune. There were rumours earlier in the year that the next CoD would have F2P elements.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Call of Duty Black Ops, Call of Duty Mobile.

The main question is how they'd distinguish Modern Warfare and Blackops enough to have them exist side by side. It'd make more sense to just have them as part of the same title, and maybe they will be.

Well Black Ops (and I've only played 2 so forgive me if I'm wrong) is about the past and future, right? Whereas MW is, well, modern.

Yeah but they're still very similar games. Which is ok for releasing games that basically are successors to the previous years, but running two "games as services" at the same time that are so similar? All it will serve to do is split the audience.

It'd be like Blizzard releasing a game called Overwatchish which is the same game but with different heroes and maps, their own game would be directly competing with them.



We know pretty much everything relevant about this game? Why do companies still need to announce announcements?



You know it deserves the GOTY.

Why announce a live gameplay reveal in advance? So people can watch it live. Don't Nintendo announce announcements with direct?

I think Darwin's point was CoD games are usually just more of the same thing (oh this time we have new guns and new maps, woo!). As for Nintendo, you never know what to quite expect when they announce games.
