13 Reasons 2019's Biggest Video Games Might Suck
7. There Might Be No Campaign (Again) - Call Of Duty 2019
Why It Might Suck: Despite introducing a well-crafted Battle Royale mode, Blackout, to the Call of Duty franchise, Black Ops 4 was widely criticised for scrapping a traditional single-player campaign mid-development, presumably to pour more resources into Blackout.
Naturally, fans are wondering whether or not next year's CoD game, presumed to be Infinity Ward's Modern Warfare 4, will in fact feature a campaign.
A job listing posted to Infinity Ward's website earlier this year does suggest the game may have a story component, but the lack of a confirmation in light of the Black Ops 4 controversy is still a little worrying.
Even if Infinity Ward has started work on a campaign for MW4, don't be surprised if Activision scraps it in order to focus on the next iteration of Blackout. Considering that BO4 had the best-ever digital sales the franchise has ever seen without a campaign, there's probably not much incentive to bring it back.
Why It Might Not: There's a lot of value in ensuring that each of the three CoD developers - Treyarch, Infinity Ward and Sledgehammer Games - gives players a unique and distinct experience, so it's entirely possible at least one of these teams will still be commissioned to release a campaign for their game.
There probably won't be clarification on this for quite some time - Black Ops 4 was officially unveiled in March - but if Infinity Ward's game does indeed feature a campaign, it makes good PR sense to announce it ASAP.
