If we are to believe the rumors surrounding the upcoming Call of Duty 2019, the franchise could potentially take a significantly different direction compared to Call of Duty: Black Ops 4.
This is the official status: Official information about the next installment of the “Call of Duty” series is scarce. So far, it is only known that there will be a massive and expandable multiplayer world as well as enjoyable co-op gameplay. A single-player campaign has also been confirmed. The responsible studio is Infinity Ward – the creators of the entire Modern Warfare series.
The game’s roots would lie in one of the most important stories of Call of Duty. However, fresh rumors may now reveal some additional potential details.
New Rumors About Call of Duty 2019
About these rumors: The US site GamingIntel claims to have received new information from its own “exclusive sources” regarding the upcoming Call of Duty 2019. It concerns modes, weapons, maps, and the general direction of the game.
While the site does not elaborate on the mentioned sources, it is generally regarded as serious and reliable. Nonetheless, these supposed details should be viewed with the appropriate degree of skepticism. As of now, these are unconfirmed rumors.
Weapons and Maps from Modern Warfare 3 and 4: GamingIntel refers to the upcoming Call of Duty as Modern Warfare 4.
According to its sources, numerous popular weapons and maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and 4 are set to make their way into the traditional multiplayer of Modern Warfare 4. The source did not comment on which specific weapons and maps are involved, as such aspects may change during development.
This decision was justified by the fact that the campaign of Modern Warfare 2 is supposed to appear in a remastered version – but without multiplayer. Accordingly, multiplayer elements would flow into the multiplayer component of Modern Warfare 4.
Furthermore, Modern Warfare 4 is supposed to be exactly what Black Ops 4 is for the Black Ops series. They aim to evolve certain key mechanics of the series and bring back popular elements in remastered form.
No Specialists Anymore: According to the sources, Modern Warfare 4 is said to forgo specialists or other class mechanics such as the divisions from Call of Duty: WW II and lead the series back to its roots.
This specifically means: There will be no powerful abilities or over-the-top weapons as seen in Black Ops 3 and 4 or in Infinite Warfare. Players will have to rely on the classic standard loadout of Call of Duty.
No Battle Royale: The source also revealed that Modern Warfare 4 will not have its own battle royale mode, unlike Black Ops 4. Instead, they want to focus on the single player, the traditional multiplayer, and the co-op experience.
No Zombies Mode: There will supposedly also not be a zombies mode in Modern Warfare 4, according to the source.
After 5 years full of the undead, it’s time for something different. Zombies are to be replaced by another co-op experience in the style of the survival mode from Modern Warfare 3.
There, one also fought against waves of AI soldiers in a kind of horde mode. Players could order air support with earned currency, acquire new weapons, or call in AI-controlled comrades for support.
Unfortunately, how exactly the new co-op mode of the upcoming Call of Duty will look like has not been revealed.
What do you think? Do these rumors sound plausible to you? Would you be excited about such a direction for the next Call of Duty?
