NICKMERCS and his ALGS Team, Tripods, failed to qualify for the Split 1 playoffs, but the downtime has allowed him to rediscover his passion for CoD. ALGS Split 2 doesn\u2019t begin until January, giving NICKMERKS plenty of time to explore Al Mazrah with friends. Warzone 2 launched in November, but competing in Apex forced Nick to skip out on trying out the battle royale sequel. TimTheTatman didn\u2019t hold back from roasting Nick as he attempted to re-learn the ropes of Warzone a few months late. After a few days of streaming the game, NICKMERCS looks more like his dominant self, and he shared his first impression of Warzone 2. After a slew of mixed reviews, Nick\u2019s stance may come as a surprise to some fans. NICKMERCS shares initial impression of Warzone 2 In NICKMERCS latest YouTube video, he explained how he feels about Warzone 2. \u201cThe game at the core is pretty good, but they added these bots and the backpack loot system. The core game and the UI actually feel pretty da*n good.\u201d One of his biggest concerns comes with the implementation of AI enemies. \u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m fighting a bot half the f**king time. I don\u2019t see how that\u2019s not an issue.\u201d Nick also struggled to come around to adding backpacks and adjusting to Warzone 2\u2019s faster TTK speed. \u201cThe TTK so quick. You blink, and you\u2019re dead. I don\u2019t like backpacks; it\u2019s stupid. It has like this PUBG, H1Z1 kind of thing going on.\u201d Despite listing a few concerns, he was impressed by the game\u2019s movement, gunfights, and look and feel of Al Mazrah. Nick said he would continue streaming Warzone 2 through January and some of February as long as he likes the game. However, don\u2019t expect Nick to become a full-time Warzone streamer again; as he said, once it gets closer to ALGS Split 2, he will be dedicating all of his time to playing Apex Legends.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS explains why Warzone 2 is \u201ca lot better\u201d than he thought NICKMERCS\/ActivisionNICKMERCS dove into Warzone 2 for the first time and left pleasantly surprised after a few days despite having a few concerns.
