I'm not saying zombies and the campaign are the same.

And I'm aware they're installed separately; personally I'm not interested in the multiplayer stuff, but a lot of people are and so are stuck with enormous file sizes.

COD hasn't released on Switch/2 so there's no evidence at this stage that owners would have "no interest in COD". A lot of Switch 2 owners don't have a PS5/PC/Xbox Series. You also don't know that it would look "crappy", the port could turn out competent.

As I stated, you can just install the MP and not the other modes at all.  You have been able to do this for about 5 years now.  I just checked COD 7 today.  You can still just install the mode you want to play so no you do not get stuck with enormous file sizes.

Exactly my point, we have no clue what switch owners would want in a COD on switch so why keep saying that switch owners do not care about this or that when we actually do not know.  Switch owner are not monolithic.  Also I did not say the port will look crappy, I said if the port looked crappy would a switch owner want it.  That is a huge difference.

If you want to play all the modes though then you are stuck with massive installs.

I think we can safely say that a Switch 2 owner is probably not going to be turned off by a Switch 2 game having Switch 2 level graphics; if it's a disastrous port that's another matter, but such ports have been pretty rare on Switch 2 so far, as we're not dealing with Switch 1 level hardware any more.

You do know you can install the components you are using and uninstall the ones you do not.  For myself, I only play the campaign and zombie mode.  I do not play MP nor do I play Warzone.  I have installed just the campaign finished it uninstalled it and played the zombie mode.  I am not really seeing where this is an issue if you care about install size.

My point still stand on saying what constitute a switch owner because I am a switch owner.  I have never missed purchasing a Nintendo console since the first.  I only purchase Nintendo consoles primarily only to play Nintendo games.  So saying that a switch 2 owner isn't going to be turned off b a subpar looking game on the system only means you are talking about yourself.  I wish you would stop lumping all switch owners in the same category as you.

I simply said that a Switch 2 owner probably won't mind a game having Switch 2 level graphics; we don't know that a COD port would look subpar, it could be a decent port.

I would be more accepting of that stance if all you have is a switch 2 or that you primarily game mobile.  Having multiple systems like I do, the Switch is the last console I would look to play games that look and play much better on other systems.  Since I only use my switch as a console, its definitely not my go to for 3rd party games.

Also we definitely know the switch 2 port would look subpar because we have enough games that have made the jump to the switch 2 that look subpar compared to the PS5, Xbox series X or PC.  As I stated, what is the use case for the switch to the consumer who purchases it is the bigger question.

There are other Switch users who don't have another current gen platform though, and yet others who value portability over fidelity.

A game running on Switch 2 is naturally not gonna look on par with PS5/PC/etc, because portable hardware is necessarily less capable than dedicated consoles. People know going into Switch 2 that it's not going to look high end.

It will look comparable to the Series S version and it will be fine.

COD is not even some graphics show case to begin with, like we're worried about COD? lol, running that will be a piece of cake after Assassin's Creed Shadows, Star Wars Outlaws, etc. etc.

I did specify that you would need to only be a switch 2 owner.  In that scenerio I agree but how many only switch 2 owners care about COD.  If you care about playing COD, there is a very high chance you would not be a switch 2 only owner because well COD hasn't been on the platform for years.  I am just thinking about the demographics of the community and the chances of the 2 meeting up is very slim.  Also, just my personal opinion of course but the switch in handheld mode controls just isn't suited for any decent length of time playing FPS.  I would not say I hate the controls but for a person with decent size hands it becomes crap very quick.

As to your 2nd paragraph well that proves my point.  The switch 2 use case for a game like COD is very small if you ask me for the demographic that uses the device.  Do not get me wrong, COD probably will sell decently but nowhere close to PC, PS5 or Series X levels.

Yeah if you're already invested in COD you'll own a PS5/Xbox/PC, but there may well be plenty of Switch 2 owners who aren't invested now, but would consider giving it a go if it came to their platform of choice. We have seen over the last 8 years that third party ports to Switch like Doom, Witcher 3, Bioshock trilogy, et al apparently do well enough that these ports keep coming.

I see we pretty much agree that a port could sell "decently" and that's the thing, a port is a lot cheaper than making a game from scratch so it only needs to sell decently to be worth doing.
