The 31-year-old Twitch star was one of Call of Duty\u2019s biggest content creators before he abandoned ship in August last year, trading Warzone for Apex Legends. Ever since, his MFAM fans have been begging him to make a return to the battle royale, despite him remaining adamant he was \u201cdone\u201d. Now, on January 20, the Twitch star has bowed to demands \u2014 kind of \u2014 and returned to Warzone in a long-awaited comeback. Only, don\u2019t expect it to last long, he warns. \u201cAm I back on CoD?\u201d NICKMERCS was asked midway through his broadcast, before dashing Warzone fans\u2019 hopes. \u201cNo, I\u2019m playing with Cloak, that\u2019s it right now.\u201d The main issue, NICKMERCS explained, is that he just isn\u2019t enjoying any aspect of the battle royale right now. Jumping in for \u201cshort bursts\u201d isn\u2019t so bad, and he \u201cactually had a bit of fun,\u201d but doesn\u2019t want to come back full-time. That\u2019s obviously at odds right now with what many of his long-time fans want from his streams, but Kolcheff refuses to back down on his Warzone stance. Even worse, he adds, is that if he plays Call of Duty for \u201cjust a bit\u201d then viewers beg him \u201charder and harder\u201d to go back again. \u201cLook, I don\u2019t know,\u201d the 31-year-old said. \u201cIt\u2019s just the 1940s sh**, not even really Caldera either. It\u2019s just the wrap [Warzone] has it on it [right now]. Like, why are we in the 1940s playing this stupid f**king game? \u201cI don\u2019t get it\u2026 why? It\u2019s so bad,\u201d he continued, before admitting he was already eyeing a return to Apex Legends. \u201c[Apex] is looking real, real good right about now!\u201d All that said, NICKMERCS did get into the rhythm of the battle royale eventually. He even popped off after a win with Cloakzy, declaring he\u2019s \u201cback, yeah!\u201d \u201cOh yeah, that\u2019s the feeling,\u201d Kolcheff said, before admitting he\u2019d had a good time. \u201cI did actually have fun today. I\u2019m having fun, yeah. At the beginning it was rough, I didn\u2019t have my bearings. \u201cWhen I got back up to speed, it was feeling good,\u201d the once reigning Warzone king said towards the end of his stream. \u201cI dropped 20-something. I\u2019m back, chilling.\u201d In unfortunate news for his loyal Warzone fans, however, NICKMERCS confirmed his comeback was just a one-off; he will be returning to the Apex Legends grind, where he has machinations to go pro. If he does eventually add a second battle royale to his rotation again, the 31-year-old added, Fortnite would be the more likely contender after bringing back Tilted Towers. \u201c[Fortnite] is actually f**king nuts [now],\u201d he said. \u201cThe Spider-Man stuff is so fluid, so fun to Spider-Man everywhere, and the map is really good. Tilted is back!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS is finally back playing Warzone again but don\u2019t expect it to last long Twitch: NICKMERCS \/ Raven SoftwareNicholas \u2018NICKMERCS\u2019 Kolcheff is finally back playing Warzone again after dramatically ditching the game in late August, but don\u2019t expect it to last \u2014 the Twitch star still has a pile of problems with the Call of [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-30153","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30153","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=30153"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/30153\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=30153"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=30153"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dejan.au\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=30153"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
