No scope headshot on a Switch 2. More power to Microsoft.

Dang,
Phil getting desperate to make that deal close by any means possible, even by porting to a platform that can't even run CoD

Switch is the first Nintendo console to not have COD. Blame Kotick.

So call of duty is going to have PS4/Xbox one versions for 10 years I guess

Speak for yourself! They should bring the Modern Warfare remake YESTERDAY.

Amazing how they could port World of Warcraft to Switch if they wanted to. My guess is that it’s safer to go with modern iterations of CoD.

Good to see. It's so true MS wants gaming expanded. PC, cloud, Samsung TV game pass, no Bethesda/Activision games pulled yet from competing systems.
It'll be legacy game quality ports, but that's Nintendo's fault for having gimped systems. Cant expect miracles. A good example is Black Ops 2 coming out for Wii U. It was as good as 360/PS3 versions. And so were other games like Mass Effect and Batman.

Yup. And factoring development time and time for the merger to actually go through, these titles will be on Switch 2, not the current Switch, which will be more capable than a base Xbox One or PS4.
Really not a far-fetched proposition at all.

I’m glad Sony forced them to do this

GG Phil.
Living up to his word
Good for Nintendo players to have it on their systems as well.

So take the 10 years deal or no cod on your platform lol
Sony needs to accept the reality and stop this nonsense

I love the corporate pettiness. Committing to larger platforms like steam and nintendo shows how silly Sonys stance is.

Phil should put a condition in contract,
"Only if you make decent, acceptable hardware".
He will be true messiah of gaming.

CoD mobile is likely what will be ported. Doubt you’ll see main entries until at least switch 2

Phil already said development won’t even start until next summer. The first game would be a Switch 2 launch title at that rate.

Depends on what a Switch 2 or Switch Pro is. There won't be a new CoD next year anyway so there's at least a 2 year buffer (and most developers would get dev kits long before release windows for new hardware).
Also, Warzone 2.0 runs on a 2013 base XBO. Switch could probably run it with further cut backs in a native manner as well if needed.

How?
Shouldn't Nintendo users get this franchise?

Without Sony's stance it was not likely coming to Nintendo.

COD games on Nintendo platforms have happened in the past. Just rare. There's some kind of combo of low user base, or the target audience not liking shooters, or not worth Activision's time doing it (ROI) etc.... which has made Activision say forget it. It cant be Nintendo. I dont think they sit there telling Activision they dont want COD on their systems. You'd think Activision would still do a port to cash in on the franchise even if they dont do as well as on other consoles or PC. Like how EA still does FIFA on Nintendo systems.
But MS is thinking differently. It's about more games everywhere. More money and higher user bases which keeps the games going.

They said ground work in 2023.
Cloud version. Plus new switch is coming soon.
Unless you think switch 2 would be trash hardware.

I mean it’s a good play - but doesn’t this mean that COD will basically be graphically limited forever

That would be slam dunk honestly.
No way CMA can say no to that.
I will wait thousands years, and it won't happen like you want to.

They said they want CoD on Switch in Feb, just days after the acquisition was announced.
You guys are so precious
