XDefiant was a genuine choice for people tired of COD. Problem is, Ubisoft got tired of the money they were making off of it and decided to perform hara-kiri via Assassins Creed Shadows instead and probably go bankrupt this time next year.
Speaking of money, it's rumored that Warzone 3 will be scrapped from next year's CoD if this Verdansk re-release for this Warzone doesn't retain enough players. Oh, and the next CoD is reported to be a PS4/XB1 release as well.
And the people that were sick of CoD FROM CoD exploited XDefiant's movement like they did for CoD. Of course, XDefiant had other problems retaining players. But, that's neither here or there at this point.
This is a massively good thing in my eyes, as someone who hates Warzone I’d rather them put the dev time into multiplayer and zombies, here’s hoping the third worlders don’t give a fuck and They also drop CoD HQ
MW2019 is MW4. There is no way in hell I am pretending the shitty 2022 and 2023 games will ever be the true MW2 and 3 respectively and neither will any other actual fan of COD. Don't like it when I call your game MW4, MW5 or MW6? Make a new fucking game, then. At least Black Ops doesn't pretend what it is and tries to reboot itself so we have Black Ops 2 part 2 or some stupid shit like that.
Lol, it looks exactly like a fighting game roster.Speaking of Black Ops:
lol, lmao even
Imagine being a grown ass adult and playing stupid shit like this. At least in Mortal Kombat I get to decapitate Rambo or whomever they put in the game, kind of like a bloodier MUGEN with a crazy roster like this. How are you going to excuse Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in a "serious" wargame?
No. I can accept the terminology of MW2019 for the 2019 reboot. I can accept and agree with the foolish decision to rename a new trilogy from an older one which creates confusion. MW2019 and its sequels are entries in its own rebooted subseries, not existing entries from the original subseries.
Good for you, I bet you also use the "preferred" tranny pronouns people want you to and don't have any problems with the "TypeA/B" nonsense. I will always call these games what they are because that's what they are, simple as. MW2019 is MW4 ect. and nothing will change this.
On top of that, I am technically correct in them being sequels since the new "rebooted" universe is canonically not all that new, just one of the many infinite multiverses that the zombies mode(now canonically connected with single player so we can sell skins in multiplayer). Characters from the original COD universe(ie where the first three games took place in) was destroyed but then you still see characters from those original timelines survive and travel to this new timeline(as seen in Cold War's "Dark Aether" story) while also confirming the old timeline is still technically there, just with nobody alive remaining(the titular "Dark Aether"). This isn't a reboot, it's one straight line and everyone from the games you loved is dead. Kind of like how the nu-Marvel Universe technically isn't rebooted either, most of the Marvel Universe died in Secret Wars 2(2015) but at the end of it, the few survivors from the Marvel universe somehow ended up creating a new universe(current woke one) using the powers of their imagination or some shit. Original Doom and other characters are still out there somewhere, you just don't hear about them.
AFAIK, all the Black Ops titles canonically exist in the same universe. But, MW2019 and Cold War started combining their characters and lores together in the continuity. And don't even get started on Warzone and DMZ post launch content that can get retconned because Activision. So, basically the Treyarch games after World at War are in the same universe as the nu-MW games AND Vanguard counts as canon as well?
Wrong on all accounts, everything is canon because Activision said it was. This is a decades old argument now and the "zombies are canon" people won.
AFAIK, everything with Zombies after Black Ops connects within its own universe. I think there are different crews with their own storylines, but it makes sense (for me) that the easter eggs in the various maps reveal an overarching timeline out of order because of time travel.
MW2019 was glowie fictions about Syria in video game form plus a little woke bullshit. It was still all right, and you could see how IW might have been tossing around a new trilogy that might be halfway decent. MW2022 felt like Rian Johnson jumped in to subvert your expectations and shit on everything. It was the dumbest campaign I'd ever played (I did not play Vanguard, and yes, I liked AW better) and felt like it could not possibly have anything to do with 2019.
Did they ever do anything with the post credits ending of MW2019 where they briefly showed Al-Asad?
Nope, there is callbacks to single player campaigns in zombies and vice versa. One connected universe, or rather one connected multiverse with infinite universes.
He was something to do with the spec ops mode and then promptly forgotten about when warzone gained momentum
