kingpotato Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 According to an article from gamespot Call of duty modern warfare 2 might be arriving earlier due to Vanguard's poor sales. Is Vanguard that bad? Or is it that people are actually tired of the COD yearly releases? https://www.gamespot.com/amp-articles/call-of-duty-2022-rumored-to-arrive-early-due-to-poor-vanguard-sales/1100-6499687 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Techno Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Another COD? Really, the series is burning out, and its Activision, unless its Crash Bandicoot or Spyro, I refuse to give them money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 I hope they do have something good otherwise if it's just code and graphics rehash that wont do much good for most of the people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 I think it was more of a case of Vanguard not being as good as the previous two COD games. Both Modern Warfare and Cold War were pretty good so when Vanguard was disappointing, people just returned to one of those two titles. Hopefully they will work on this one and make sure it's released in a good state. Withywarlock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Withywarlock Posted January 18, 2022 Share Posted January 18, 2022 Vanguard has been messy in many places, but news of Modern Warfare 2 coming before the first season is even over is attrocious. I wasn't compelled to buy much in the first place but now I'm certain. I'll save my remaining CoD points, enough to buy the Season pass bundle, for that game. If I'm still playing CoD by that time. And much as I have enjoyed the latest three instalments, I don't think an upcoming game is going to fix the problems that have plagued the current. This reeks of desperation. We also have to consider the Microsoft acquisition too. Who knows how that's going to shake up development... and the store. If it's anything like the woes Halo Infinite players have expressed with that game's storefront, not unlike Anthem's, then there's troubles ahead. Then again their Battle Pass will probably improve if it does take on 343 Industries' model. Swings and roundabouts, as they say. kingpotato 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 If they do get acquired I hope that they may merge the franchise properly and continue making good games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 Just another some old COD that they are doing, really. It's all the same and it's boring. I don't understand how releasing it in October is related to poor sales of Vanguard, aren't CoD games yearly releases anyways? How is a one month earlier than usual release gonna help? Asking because I really don't get it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They should really take a break to rethink the future of the franchaise instead of putting out a new game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin11 Posted January 20, 2022 Share Posted January 20, 2022 I never played the vanguard, do I wouldn't jump in and conclude on what I don't know about the game. I am expecting to see Activision/Microsoft build on a quality edition of COD anytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kane99 Posted January 21, 2022 Share Posted January 21, 2022 I find this all laughable considering that COD Vanguard was one of the best selling games of 2021 and is currently the top one for 2022. But I also heard recently that when the Microsoft purchase goes through, the COD team want to stop the yearly releases and slow down. I think they too are tired of the yearly releases.

dfarmer2001 Posted January 25, 2022 Share Posted January 25, 2022 I am way behind, I wasn't aware they were making a Modern Warfare 2. As for your question regarding Vanguard, I absolutely love Vanguard. In all honesty, I thought Vanguard was one of their better games, I'm not sure why they didn't make their sales quota.

killamch89 Posted January 28, 2022 Share Posted January 28, 2022 I played Vanguard and it felt like most of the COD games in recent years and I think it's due to the fact that it's basically a rehash of the COD games from previous years with hardly any improvement which made it flop. I'm glad Microsoft will stop making COD an annual release because the developers can finally make the series fresh again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boblee Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 Most games that are on yearly releases never ends well and it's what happened to Call of Duty Vanguard. They seem to have burned out their ideas on the game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatman Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 They were rushing the COD games too quickly than it's supposed to be and it's really killing the game. Microsoft already said something about not making it a yearly release, so let's see how it turns out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call of Duty used to be a game everyone used to anticipate getting but not anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
