J4MES OX4D 9,776 Posted May 18, 2019 Share Posted May 18, 2019 Sledgehammer and Raven have both removed as the main developers of COD 2020 and relegated to a support role. Treyarch have been appointed to lead the project and now have to scramble together another rushed game and dress it up as BO5 as they take charge of development https://kotaku.com/sources-call-of-duty-2020-in-upheaval-as-treyarch-take-1834858368/amp whilst then also working on COD 2021 for release the following year which will probably be Black Ops 6! Basically Treyarch have two years to make two games. This could quite possibly be the biggest embarrassment the franchise has ever faced. Black Ops 4 was already one game too many in the series and now we’re gonna be getting a rushed sequel with 5 plastered on it. I haven’t seen anything like it and Treyarch are going to be stretched beyond belief. The Black Ops brand is just a tag now for the latest generic game to be called and about an unimaginative as it gets. Black Ops 4 was bad enough in terms of being rushed, lacking content and having now forwarding strategy on content and community engagement so I dread to think how Black Ops 5 is going to turn out let alone 'Black Ops 6' a year later. Just shows that Activision cannot afford to take a year off. I can see what's left of Sledgehammer and Raven being merged or disbanded and then just having two primary developers IW and 3arc like the old days left. Not exactly a glowing future this series has going into an exciting new gen. NCA-Paendrag, MrBiron, tronic44 and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBiron 1,406 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 What an absolute cluster fuck this series is now! Activision really need to rethink how they make and sell these games. The best thing, in my opinion, would be to have a base game and keep adding new content to it. Like what Ubisoft are doing with R6 Siege. Clearly this yearly release cycle is stretching the dev teams well beyond their means. J4MES OX4D and phil bottle 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why we haven't got something like that is crazy. I can only assume we don't have a base game that is expanded over years is because most COD's are so bad these days that they are dead even before Christmas so there is nothing good to build upon. phil bottle 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrBiron 1,406 Posted May 19, 2019 Share Posted May 19, 2019 They should have built on BO3. That's the best MP for years. IMO obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J4MES OX4D 9,776 Posted May 19, 2019 Author Share Posted May 19, 2019 BO4 is the type of game that could have been built upon as it is middle of the road, has no campaign ties or a real identity - it's just a generic shooter but the fact they abandoned the MP may actually come back to bite them now with the situation they are in. They would be better off just having one giant continuous COD live service. We could get a new campaign each year sold as an explansion but the MP would be very much be a rolling thing like COD online that combines all current and historic games.

tronic44 3,628 Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 They should make all old cod games compatible with the latest consoles and have a year or 8 off making them....better make it 10 actually. The franchise is beyond a joke now. J4MES OX4D 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
