Lack of Fresh Content   

The lack of fresh updates bored the community. Players require consistent updates to keep entertained. Repetitive game modes and maps cause the game to be redundant. Developers should frequently release new maps, weapons, and game modes (or at least alter existing ones). Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 didn’t give enough content to keep players interested: leading to an inevitable decline in the player count.      

Warzone 2 once held an event featuring King Kong and Godzilla. The event was a massive flop and led many players to stop playing Warzone 2. We explained the event in more detail in one of our articles previously: 

Buggy Gameplay    

Another reason for the drop in players is buggy gameplay. Players rightfully expect a smooth and seamless gaming experience considering Call of Duty is one of the largest gaming franchises. However, many bugs and glitches have ridden Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2. 

The developers should have addressed these problems and provided regular patch updates to improve the gameplay experience. At the least, they should provide a playable game.  

Poor Balance in Matchmaking  

In every multiplayer game, skill-level-based matchmaking is vital. Fair matchmaking ensures that players of all skill levels can enjoy the game. If the fights are unfair, it will lead to frustration and a tiring experience. Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 have constantly suffered from an imbalance in matchmaking. The matchmaking led to many low-skill-level players quitting the games altogether. Players want to feel like they have a fair and equal chance of winning- otherwise, they will lose any incentive to play again.    

Lack of Communication with Players  

The last reason is Call of Duty’s lack of communication with players. Developers need to listen to their players to understand their needs and resolve any issues that stop them from playing the game.    

Executives failing to do this led to a massive disconnect between the fans and the game. Players will eventually lose interest if developers don’t hear their voices. Furthermore, players will find other games to play where their opinions matter.   

Concluding Thoughts  

Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 were once atop the charts, but now they have lost a large chunk of their reputation. If the developers of any game wish to retain players, they need to manage any issues players may have and provide routine updates to enrich the gaming experience. We hope that Call of Duty developers take the lost player count as a wake-up call and finally listen to players’ and make them feel valued in the community.

Critics gave Modern Warfare 2 mainly positive reviews. Being the fastest Call of Duty game to earn $1 billion in sales, it was a commercial triumph and set multiple milestones for the series. So, is it really that good?

The premise of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

The game takes place in a realistic, contemporary environment, just like its predecessor. In order to find terrorist Hassan Zyani who is in possession of American-made ballistic missiles, Task Force 141 and Mexican Special Forces unit Los Vaqueros are being followed in the campaign.

Maps

Regarding the 6v6 maps, the sheer number of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 maps we have at rotation is actually quite impressive. The 2019 launch had significantly fewer, which is an essential factor that players insist on. Out of 10 maps that we had at launch, only one stood out as being really terrible and that is the border crossing map. However, the other nine aren’t all sunshine and rainbows, but every game has some that are simply not that bad. Overall, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 has a nice variety when it comes to layouts, settings, and color pallets.

Also, another nice thing about the maps, which was present in the 2019 version as well, is that you can jump on almost anything. It makes the game feel fluid and satisfying. Not to mention, it adds to the tactical part of the game since you can use this ability to outsmart your enemies.

Guns inside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2

Another great part about this game is the guns. They feel and sound amazing. Some of the movement at times can feel a bit clunky and there’s an abundance of visual recoil. If we weren’t to nitpick, overall – the gunplay is pretty solid.

Another great thing regarding guns is that the balance is amazing for a COD launch. Of course, there is room for improvement but we believe that this is more than acceptable considering the game came out just recently.

Gameplay improvements

If you’re someone that likes to move around and be aggressive, we have some good news for you. The footsteps in this installation are a lot better than they used to be. Now, you can move around freely without worrying about an enemy hearing you from an ungodly distance.

Also, another great thing that they have added is swimming. If you’re underwater, you can only use pistols but full autos will be available to you once you’re on the surface. We are glad they didn’t go overboard with this option.

Missing features

Sadly, this game has a lot of missing features that we won’t see at all or they will come only in the later parts.

For example, the hardcore game modes won’t be with us until the release of the first season. There are no barracks with combat records and challenge lists, after-action reports, double XP countdown, camo pop-ups, weapon tuning, detailed weapon stats, and many more.

Closing thoughts

Even with all of the issues that are currently present, we are sure you will be able to have fun! There are still a lot of things that need fixing. It does feel like the developers pushed its launch too early and the game ended up feeling like it’s not quite finished. However, as everything’s fixed and we get a lot more features, this could be a really good COD game. So, we suggest you hold on to your money for now and jump on the bandwagon once the game is complete.
