FormaL unloads on \u201cgarbage\u201d CoD Vanguard: \u201cThey really dropped the ball\u201d ActivisionHaving now stepped away from the Call of Duty League, retired OpTic Gaming star Matthew \u2018FormaL\u2019 Piper had plenty to say about the \u201cgarbage\u201d state of CoD Vanguard and how \u201chappy\u201d he is to not be playing it. Shortly after the 2021 CDL season came to a close, former world champion FormaL announced his retirement from professional CoD. Despite hanging up the sticks on August 28, the 11-year FPS veteran soon went on to tease multiple options for his immediate future. At first, \u201cother options\u201d outside of competing were at the top of his list. Though it wasn\u2019t long before FormaL was linked to a rumored FaZe Clan roster for Halo Infinite and later confirmed his desires to compete in the title. With Halo now in the spotlight, FormaL appears to be all-in on 343 Industries\u2019 latest release, leaving the CoD scene behind altogether. Not only that, but he\u2019s \u201cf**king happy\u201d to do so, as the OpTic member ripped into the \u201cgarbage\u201d state of Vanguard during his latest stream. \u201cHow happy am I not to play Vanguard? F**king happy bro,\u201d FormaL said on November 22. \u201cI\u2019m not gonna lie, I think that game looks like f***ing garbage.\u201d FormaL, who is far from the only popular name refusing to play this year\u2019s new CoD release, was quick to rattle off a number of reasons why Vanguard fails to meet his expectations. \u201cI think it looks boring,\u201d he started. \u201cIt looks sh**ty in terms of gameplay. I think the spawns are sh**. There are glitches. There are bad maps\u2026 I think they really dropped the ball on that one.\u201d \u201cYou can\u2019t fine me for sh**\u201d FormaL giving his honest take on Vanguard now that he\u2019s out of the CDL \ud83d\ude33 (Credit u\/No_Effect) pic.twitter.com\/lrlZOQkzRn \u2014 DEXERTO Intel (@DexertoIntel) November 23, 2021 While his T2P duo Seth \u2018Scump\u2019 Abner was once fined for sharing his own negative take on a new CoD release, FormaL isn\u2019t at all concerned in retirement. He joked: \u201cI can say that now. [The CDL] can\u2019t fine me for sh*t.\u201d Explaining why Vanguard launched in its current state, he pointed to Warzone as the clear culprit. \u201cI think Call of Duty is just so focused on Warzone now,\u201d he said. \u201cThey couldn\u2019t give a f**k less about multiplayer. Meanwhile, \u201cHalo looks great,\u201d according to the former pro who got his start in Halo before transitioning to CoD in 2013. With just a few weeks to go before the first major LAN takes place, pro Halo appears to be gearing up for a resurgence. Meanwhile, many top CoD names are already begging for similar support.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
