Activision clarified that Warzone is here to stay - and will have very strong links to CoD 2020. Specifics on how exactly Warzone will be “tightly connected” to Call of Duty 2020 are yet to be revealed, but in an earnings call Activision Publishing president Rob Kostich spoke about the current tight connection between Modern Warfare and Warzone - which is pretty implicit, seeing as Warzone is built completely on the same engine and gameplay mechanics, and amounts to a standalone free-to-play game mode for Modern Warfare - and how that connection is important to players....

Iwinski focuses almost entirely on the poor state in which the game’s last-gen console versions launched.

The revelation apparently “triggered” him to “take some time off” and he’s still finishing out the things he’s “contracted to do”.

“Hey, that sounds exactly like the description of a dozen of other games that I played this year!” I hear you say. But while other games are forgiving, Escape from Tarkov is brutally realistic. We’re talking about scarce ammo, limited resources and realistic damage where one shot can kill you. And oh, putting a bandage on your arm when you’re shot in the head doesn’t help here.
