Modern Warfare community lashes out at Activision for Black Ops Cold War merge ActivisionWith the excitement of the new release taking up the spotlight, Modern Warfare players feel as though their experience has been \u201cactively\u201d made worse in order to promote Black Ops Cold War. With the annual cycle of the CoD franchise, a new release is guaranteed around November each year. Typically, this sees a vast majority of the player base relocating over to the new title. However, the transition from 2019 to 2020 was a little different. For the first time in history, two titles merged thanks to Warzone. The F2P battle royale gave a common ground for both games to come together. Though with the focus primarily on new weapons from BOCW in Season One, the MW community feels it\u2019s been left behind. While a lack of new content and meaningful updates would be one thing, thousands of players argue the impact of BOCW is \u201cactively making MW a bad experience.\u201d With the integration of BOCW in Warzone, it\u2019s safe to say that new weapons have dominated the conversation. From the controversial DMR to the must-pick MAC-10 SMG, these powerful guns are all but necessary to stay afloat. As a result, \u201cMW players suffer simply to drive sales\u201d for the new title. Infinity Ward\u2019s time handling post-launch content has reportedly come to an end. With a lack of new playlists, \u201chackers galore, no anti-cheat, and no feedback from [developers],\u201d nothing can be done except to \u201cwait for the next game.\u201d One of the biggest talking points is the fact that MW heavily advertises BOCW in-game. Despite the CoD community often moving ahead with the new title each year, MW players wanting to stick with their favorite title have been \u2018punished,\u2019 according to the community. Countless players chimed in with their own experiences since the release of BOCW. Most of which echoed the same sentiment. \u201cStarting to feel like this game has been abandoned,\u201d one player said. \u201cWe should be on Season 8 for MW,\u201d another added. Regardless of which side you fall on, there\u2019s no denying we\u2019re in a new era for the franchise. Two games have never merged quite like this before and with Season Two on the way, this coexistence doesn\u2019t appear to be going anywhere soon. There\u2019s no telling if sizeable updates will hit MW throughout 2021. Though with the focus now well and truly on BOCW, it seems less likely with each passing day.
