In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone, Season 4 started last week. The numbers on Twitch have risen by 40%. However, there is criticism from popular streamers. Twitch star Guy “Dr Disrespect” Beahm speaks of depression. YouTube streamer Jack “CouRage” Dunlop criticizes Season 4 for lack of changes to the map and balance.
This is the situation: On Thursday morning, Season 4 in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone.:
- Season 4 brought a new Battle Pass with many new rewards that players can earn
- 3 new weapons were introduced.
- Modern Warfare received 3 new maps, including Scrapyard
- In Warzone, there should now be 3 types of in-game events to spice up the game and bring more variety
Twitch numbers rise by 40%
At first glance, this looks like relatively a lot of new content and on Twitch, there was significantly more going on with CoD: Modern Warfare in the last 3 days than before.
It is clear: People were waiting for the start of the new season and are now diving into the game.
With an increase of over 40%, CoD MW is back to number 3 on Twitch, only LoL and Just Chatting are ahead. Similarly, Escape from Tarkov is currently the only other game doing as high.
Overpowered weapons and no map changes
This is the criticism of Warzone: One of the most well-known streamers of Call of Duty is Jack “CouRage” Dunlop, who was long on Twitch and now streams on YouTube.
He says: He loves Warzone and Call of Duty. He wants people to play the game, but he is disappointed with Season 4:
- There is no change to the overpowered weapons – One has to keep playing Grau to have a chance
- Also, there is not a single change to the map that is really meaningful
Courage believes: Warzone feels stale now. Too long has gone by without anything happening.
Dr Disrespect: Season 4 in Modern Warfare extremely below expectations
This is what Dr Disrespect says: One of the biggest Twitch streamers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is Dr Disrespect. He calls Season 4 far below expectations. He also says there are no new games that excite him. He fears DOCpression, a form of depression.
His friend, TimTheTatman, praises Warzone to the highest degree. It is one of the best battle royales of all time. However, Dr Disrespect sees it differently: He rates it a maximum of 61 out of 100.
Despite his criticism, the Doctor has spent 23 hours with Call of Duty over the last 7 days.
For many players, an important mode is missing in Call of Duty: Warzone since Friday: Plunder. The mode was removed from the game on Friday.
Why Plunder is missing and when it will return was explained by one of the heads of Infinity Ward:
