While Call of Duty\u2019s first battle royale, Black Ops 4\u2019s Blackout, received mixed reviews, Warzone\u2019s first year has been an undeniable success. It has been confirmed to have upwards of 75 million players and, despite issues with cheating and some invasive glitches, continues to attract a massive audience on Twitch and YouTube. However, streaming giant Dr Disrespect has suggested that Warzone\u2019s success might actually be hindering the Call of Duty League and this year\u2019s installment, Black Ops Cold War. During a March 26 YouTube stream, the Doc explained how Warzone has impacted his desire to play Black Ops Cold War, and how this could be affecting engagement and viewership of the professional Call of Duty League. Asked by a viewer whether he\u2019ll be playing Black Ops Cold War multiplayer, Doc replied: \u201cIt\u2019s kinda weird. Usually when a new Call of Duty comes you just transition to the next one\u2026 it\u2019s weird because it\u2019s not a bad game. It\u2019s just not enough for me to leave Warzone, plain and simple. The experience of Warzone, in comparison to playing Cold War multiplayer, I get way more enjoyment playing this [WZ].\u201d Topic starts at 48:10 \u201cIt kinda puts the CoD league in an interesting position in terms of viewership and momentum towards their game,\u201d he continued. \u201cI think it\u2019s pretty important that whatever this change is for Warzone that it does something to capture what Cold War is, so they can tie the two together, so there\u2019s more cohesiveness there.\u201d The change Doc is referring to is the highly anticipated Nuke Event, the event many believe will lead to a new map set in the Ural Mountains, which will permanently replace Verdansk. Whatever the changes made, the two-time believes it needs a clear focus on Black Ops Cold War to ensure that Treyarch\u2019s 2020 title is not completely forgotten in favor of Warzone.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dr Disrespect thinks Warzone could be bad for CDL viewership YT: DrDisrespect \/ ActivisionDr Disrespect has explained how he thinks Warzone may actually hurt the viewership of the Call of Duty League, suggesting its popularity is detracting from Black Ops Cold War.
