Activision Blizzard is getting ready to releaseCall of Duty: Warzone 2, but because the first game will remain accessible, some fans are already critical of the inevitable sequel. One of the outspoken critics ofCall of Duty: Warzone 2isYouTube content creator Dr Disrespectwho has said that the game needs a developer change to be successful.
Call of Duty: Warzonehas evolved through many updates since its release in 2020, and Activision Blizzard is working on a sequel to the battle royale that is expected to take things a step further. Because the firstWarzonehas been a live-service title since its release, some battle royale players wonder why it’s getting a sequel instead of a revamped map like when the game moved from Verdansk to the Pacific Caldera island. Although Dr Disrespect is hopeful forCall of Duty: Warzone 2, he had some choice words for developer Raven Software and howWarzoneneeds core changes that would be a better fit for another studio.

During a recent livestream conversation between Dr Disrespect and TimTheTatman, the topic ofCall of Duty: Warzonewas brought up, and the two-time champion had multiple criticisms of how the battle royale has been handled so far. “If Raven is buildingWarzone 2, they might as well chalk it right now,” said Dr Disrespect during the YouTube discussion with TimTheTatman. When TimTheTatman went to defend the developers at Raven Software and their work, Dr Disrespect doubled down. According to Dr Disrespect, Activision Blizzard should request that Treyarch createWarzone 2instead, and it may be fitting given that the developer has already shippeda battle royale in the form ofCall of Duty: Black Ops 4’s Blackout mode.
Dr Disrespect has been acritic ofCall of Duty: Warzoneon multiple occasions, and he may be ready to dismissWarzone 2if it shares the same gameplay, personality, look, and fiction. During the YouTube livestream, Dr Disrespect praised the shift from BlackouttoWarzonewhile suggesting that if a similar shift isn’t made from the developer side of things,Call of Duty: Warzone 2may be too similar to the initial experience. Summarizing his thoughts into a simple sentence, Dr Disrespect stated that “they just can’t do whatBattlefielddid,” in reference toBattlefield 2042which was released to many criticisms from the community.
Many Dr Disrespect fans took to the replies to this chat between him and TimTheTatman to express appreciation forhis move to YouTube Gamingafter his Twitch ban, while others had ideas of their own like aEscape from Tarkov-style game mode, and a battle royale set in space likeCall of Duty: Infinite Warfare. Most of the comments agreed with Dr Disrespect’s stance on a new Treyarch battle royale game, but others suggested that Infinity Ward would be a more natural fit given thatCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2is on the horizon as well.
