NICKMERCS & Swagg explain why they\u2019re not playing Black Ops Cold War Swagg \/ Activision \/ NICKMERCSPopular Twitch streamers NICKMERCS and Swagg have explained why they just can\u2019t bring themselves to play or stream the Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War beta over Warzone. [jwplayer KfbNyXWJ] With the immense popularity of Warzone, Infinity Ward\u2019s Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2019 has become one of the most successful titles in the franchise\u2019s history. It\u2019s still a divisive game though, thanks to mechanics like weapon mounting and doors, so its multiplayer accompaniment has polarized the gargantuan fanbase. As such, the launches of Treyarch and Raven Software\u2019s Black Ops Cold War beta weekends have merited a ton of community hype. But, in what seems to be the norm for Call of Duty titles, the game\u2019s players are once again divided over the upcoming iteration as well. While a variety of Call of Duty League professionals and competitive fans have upheld the beta\u2019s superiority, BOCW hasn\u2019t quite made the same impression on streamers. On the negative side of the spectrum, NICKMERCS and Swagg both expressed how mediocre they find the new title and why they can\u2019t be bothered to stream, let alone play it. In a duos stream, the two legendary Warzone streamers broke down Black Ops Cold War and why they refuse to partake in its testing phase. After Nick asks Swagg if he\u2019s playing it, the latter\u2019s response is concise: \u201cFirst of all, it\u2019s just simply chalked.\u201d When Swagg tries to continue on to give the political, compromising answer about how they, as streamers, consider the game from their point of view, NICKMERCS cuts him off to lay down his perspective: \u201cF**k a POV, that game is below-average and you know it. That\u2019s the bottom line. If it wasn\u2019t below-average, you and me would be on it right now.\u201d Other Warzone streamers, like Aydan, have detailed why they think BOCW is mediocre and how it can be improved. But NICKMERCS and Swagg\u2019s consensus doesn\u2019t even allow room for that, they simply think the game is not worth playing at this point in time. Nick gave a direct comparison between BOCW and earlier Treyarch titles, and the fall in quality between them. \u201cI remember when the Black Ops III beta came out \u2026 I couldn\u2019t get off that f**king thing, man,\u201d he said. NICKMERCS and Swagg aren\u2019t the only ones not feeling it either. Other streamers like Cloakzy continue to play Warzone instead of the beta, which the two streamers pointed out. There\u2019s room for Treyarch to make improvements to Black Ops Cold War. After all, it\u2019s only in beta. However, NICKMERCS said he\u2019s not going to hold back from criticizing something he doesn\u2019t enjoy. \u201cI keep it real \u2026 If I don\u2019t like something, I\u2019m not gonna like it. That\u2019s it. A lot of motherf**kers be acting in this scene, they just act. Bunch of little f**king actors. I\u2019m not acting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
