war zone It’s a name we’re all attached to Call of Duty because it’s his paw battle royalethe one that Activision has put in the hands of gamers to try to compete with the greats of the genre as Fortnite oh PUBG and that it went through different phases. Now, with version 2.0, North Americans are moving further and further away from success.
And it must be remembered that with the launch of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 Last year, we were promised the first major overhaul of the battle royale. From the first generation, we would move to a kind of season two with a new map and more resources to have fun in battles against other players. But the result ended up being a disaster.
He has players, but fewer and fewer
We’re not going to say that Warzone 2.0 Right now it’s a chess no one plays, ’cause it ain’t like that, but it does the curve of those who are still active is important, which continues to fall and in this month of May it has again marked a new low which is around 85,000, and with a trend that is, surely, what worries Activision the most at the moment.
And it’s that as you can see in the graph you have just above, on Steam – which is one of the places where competitive play from Call of Duty–, The thing marks a clear trend that does not seem to be improving in the near future, unless Activision has a crash plan that lets us know about new stuff, giveaways, contests, and even improvements within Warzone 2.0
And it is that as we tend to always listen to those who are subject to this tyranny of data, This is the trend that really worries fans, which see how much less and less are left each day, both in cumulative numbers of participants in gambling games and in peaks that are concentrated at a specific time of the day or week. This is where the shortcomings of a game born with many problems are revealed.
Fatigue or Activision errors?
No one really knows what happened to Warzone 2.0 it’s sure anyway if we have to opt for a theory, we will mix elements from here and elsewhere. For example, it’s clear that Activision’s development was hampered by launch issues, which made players so desperate that they gave up because it didn’t look like the bugs were ever going to be fixed.
But we can’t ignore the competition that exists in this specific segment of the FPS first person and battle royaleor one Fortnite who does not give up his mania for being the most popular in the world, pursued by other alternatives such as PUBG and even the CS: GO, value there Monitor 2 that, although they are not the three all against all but rather a team fight, to scrape something from what Warzone 2.0 might want.
In short, fortunately for everyone, “the players are not stupid” -as they said in this advertisement-, and If you don’t give them a well-finished product that works and doesn’t cause problems, they leave. And that’s the best way to educate companies so they don’t think they can do whatever they want with us. Although what they are going to give us is free and we can play it without losing a euro.
