"This franchise is done” - Dr DisRespect slams Warzone for major design failures

Streaming phenomenon Herschel "Dr DisRespect" slamming Call of Duty Warzone is nothing new. Despite regularly ranting against the game and quitting it numerous times, he keeps returning to it all the same.

This time, however, the streamer became so angry and disappointed with Warzone's design that he surprisingly went on to publicly claim that the upcoming Warzone 2 would flop within a month.

While most fans, streamers, and professional Call of Duty players are hoping that Warzone 2 will be a fresh start for the franchise, the Two-Time is almost convinced about its failure, especially if it doesn't launch with new features and positive changes.

Calling out Warzone for major design changes, Doc noted:

"This franchise is done."

Dr DisRespect is one of the most loyal players in the Call of Duty franchise but is also among the most demanding critics of the title. While most of the Warzone community has high hopes for Warzone 2, Dr DisRespect feels it must introduce major changes and prominent features to stand out.

During his August 26, 2022 broadcast, the Two-Time mercilessly criticized Call of Duty: Warzone for the game's design and even urged the developers to launch Warzone 2 with some visible changes. After dying in the game due to an audio glitch, Doc ranted:

"Holy s*it, your audio f**king sucks. It does, your map sucks, your audio sucks. No wonder nobody’s playing it! Nobody. It’s dead."

The Doc then lost another fight to an enemy obscured by darkness, sparking an extremely bold claim regarding the upcoming Warzone 2 project. As per the legendary streamer himself, Warzone will fail within a month if it comes without any significant improvements.

Further pointing out the drastic decline in popularity of the CoD franchise, Dr DisRespect lamented:

"God, dude, this game is such a f**king joke, man, holy s**t. You can’t see anything, it drives me nuts. I’m telling you Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, I give it a month after launch. You know? I mean, fingers crossed they do something different, but if they continue to do this type of s**t, with these types of formula and these design decisions from a creative standpoint, I mean this franchise is done.”

While spectating Warzone pro ZLaner, the Doc continued questioning the developers' choices. After blatantly slamming the decision to put Faction Tokens in Supply Crates, Dr DisRespect said:

"Yeah, man, they need a different depth, they need some new creatives or something. A new team, a new studio. They got 50 million studios at Activision... put another, put another studio on it."

Continuing his train of thought, he added:

"We know what a good Call of Duty is, I’ve played them. I know what a good battle royale experience could be in Call of Duty. How are these things getting approved? I want to have some fun with Call of Duty, that’s my game growing up, you know."
