Vanguard players feel abandoned after \u201cpathetic\u201d event oversight ActivisionThe King Kong vs Godzilla special event in Warzone has left Vanguard players dismayed and disappointed as they feel like they aren\u2019t being catered to when it comes to these blockbuster crossovers. It\u2019s fair to say that Warzone well and truly shook up the CoD landscape. Before it came along, the yearly focus was concentrating on delivering a constant stream of amazing content to whatever the mainline Call of Duty game was at the time. However, the March 2020 release of Warzone, Activision\u2019s dive into the battle royale market, catapulted the franchise into a new gear. Insane Twitch viewership figures cemented the Warzone craze as everyone flocked to Verdansk. The rise of in-game bundles and skins to score Warzone Victories provided a new avenue for moneymaking. As a result, there is a belief that CoD\u2019s main games since have struggled: Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard. The recent King Kong vs Godzilla LTM has been a mixed bag, but Vanguard players are envious that Warzone has received this shiny new addition, whereas they haven\u2019t had anything to shout about. Warzone event highlights Vanguard\u2019s lack of attention On one hand, Warzone players were getting to go toe-to-toe with two of cinema\u2019s most iconic kaiju in an epic battle, whereas Vanguard\u2019s player base was totally overlooked. In a heated post about the situation, one clearly frustrated player had this to say: \u201cCorrect me if I\u2019m wrong, but did we get nothing new for the event but store bundles? Not even new challenges? There was always something for the in-game events both for Warzone and current CoD. I know devs gave up on this game months ago, but it really feels like they have spat in my face, we didn\u2019t get a second map at the start of S3, battle pass is super meh, and now we can\u2019t even get some more content for this event?\u201d It\u2019s true that events such as these normally allow players across both games to complete tailored challenges that unlock cool Calling Cards, Emblems, and more, for whatever the themed event is. Reddit user Marino4K felt strongly about this and declared on the post: \u201cIt\u2019s pretty pathetic really. The devs have clearly all moved onto the next title and trying to milk OG Warzone for as long as they can. For the record, I\u2019ve bought no bundles for this game, I think all of them either look low effort or incredibly cheesy (the anime girls, weed stuff, etc).\u201d There are plenty of other comments that seem to back up these overall thoughts and it does raise some questions about Vanguard\u2019s long-term future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
