NICKMERCS confirms he\u2019ll return for Warzone 2 but warns it might not be for long Activision \/ YouTube: NICKMERCSWith Apex Legends taking over as his main Battle Royale of choice lately, it\u2019s been a while since Twitch star NICKMERCS has put in a lengthy stint with Warzone. Although he\u2019s now confirmed a return with the launch of Warzone 2, even a full-fledged sequel might not be enough to keep him around for long. Through Warzone\u2019s rise to the top of the BR charts, a few names helped lead the charge online, with NICKMERCS comfortably in that mix. During the height of Verdansk, rarely a day would go by where the MFAM leader wasn\u2019t dropping into lobby after lobby with tens of thousands tuning in to watch the kill-race chaos unfold. Midway through 2021, however, that all changed as Nick announced his plans to \u2018move on\u2019 from the CoD BR. While we\u2019ve seen the occasional trip down memory lane with a few odd Warzone streams since, Apex Legends has become his top priority. Not only for its \u201cimmaculate\u201d gameplay, but also for its ranked playlist that he\u2019s slowly mastered. With the hype train now speeding up as Warzone 2 draws near, Nick remains hesitant. While he\u2019s now confirmed a return is indeed happening, the popular streamer warned it may not be enough to truly force him back for good. \u201cI\u2019m definitely gonna play it,\u201d NICKMERCS told his passionate fanbase during a recent broadcast. \u201cThere\u2019s no way the next Warzone comes out and I don\u2019t play it.\u201d Though exactly how much of a chance he\u2019ll give Warzone 2, remains unclear. Even if the upcoming sequel were to launch with a highly requested ranked mode, a feature Nick had been demanding long before his departure, there\u2019s still no guarantee he\u2019ll stick around for long. \u201cIf the new Warzone has a ranked mode, are you gonna grind it?\u201d a viewer asked during this recent stream, to which NICKMERCS didn\u2019t have a clear answer. \u201cI really don\u2019t know,\u201d he said. \u201cI can\u2019t tell you.\u201d Read More: Full Warzone 2 map leaked with all POIs – \u201c[Warzone 2] can have a ranked mode, but it can be horrible. It could be good, but it could not be as good as Apex,\u201d he said, arguing companies like Activision \u201crarely do something great. More often than not, they f*** sh** up. \u201cThey hype it up, they wrap it in cool, bright paper. Then it comes out and it\u2019s just so bland, more often than not.\u201d So it\u2019s safe to say the CoD veteran is keeping his expectations in check for Warzone 2. Even if the sequel launches with a more robust set of features and content, there\u2019s a tall mountain to climb to drive him away from his current obsession in Apex Legends, Nick claimed. \u201cI also think that Apex is getting better. They\u2019re making a lot of quality of life improvements. That new map is incredible, I love Storm Point, I think it\u2019s one of the best Battle Royale maps I\u2019ve ever played. There\u2019s always something to b**ch about, but Apex is in a really good spot.\u201d Nick begins discussing Warzone 2 at the 1:43 mark below Without a release date set in stone for the sequel, there\u2019s no telling when exactly we\u2019ll see NICKMERCS dropping back into Warzone. Though with Modern Warfare 2 now in focus, it\u2019s only a matter of time before we hear more.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
