Haseshin the most famous streamer of CoD in Japan ran a negative campaign

Haseshin expresses his disappointment that the performance of the previous game was unstable, and he was not able to fully convey the fun of CoD, but with this work, he can finally enjoy CoD without worrying, but can recommend it, and can stream it with friends., It can be seen that it was full of expectations to be able to stay with the old friends.

It may have been the time he expected when the game he loved, the game he believed was the best, was finally well recognized in Japan.

And he would have thought he didn't give it up.

Besides CoD, Haseshin streams various popular games such as Apex, but I think what he really thinks was that he is doing it because he wants people to know about CoD.

Even after participating in Apex tournaments, he pointed to CoD and make a title that "I returned to the Greatest Game", and he gathered friends and stream Warzone to new fans who got to know him through Apex.

Even though CoD believed so much, even though it was a CoD that made sacrifices, the CoD management did not look back on the past and once again earned a lot of criticism from the public for neglecting the game environment, such as crude weapon adjustments, bugs, and cheat countermeasures.

I guess Haseshin feels like "Why?"

Allowing cheats in tournaments involving professional Rush Gaming players

Cheat acceptance by the management of CoD in the tournament where Rush Gaming professional players participate.

FPS is a fun game to enjoy the action and thrill of getting out of a tight spot with aim precision, reflexes, and excellent response, but the screen is full of sparks with a rapid-fire shotgun and players die without knowing why, Cheater they can't even show their true ability because cheater have been trampled by.

It's said that CoD's appeal lies in its reality, but in reality, there is no military that uses rapid-fire shotguns because they are not practical.

Where will CoD go, throwing away not only the game but also the reality?

If it's still just a bug, Haseshin might still have the feeling of cheering.

However, weapon adjustment and game property destruction are nothing but convictions.

The management tweeted on Twitter that they will collect data on players and start adjusting, but it's just a sophistry.

If they had taken the data, they should have been able to predict such destruction of the game environment.

I think CoD management is not dealing with current data, they are just chasing short-term numbers.

Furthermore, even in the tournament APAC, where CoD professional players belonging to Rush Gaming participated, CoD management pretended not to see it while being offered a video that could only be considered a cheat and let the cheaer win.

Haseshin may have been distrustful of CoD's response and doing nothing but cold work to the professional athletes who chose his own company and devoted their lives.

Haseshin wasn't the only one who did a negative campaign for CoD

Guppy's case

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that it's a negative campaign, but Guppy, who can be said to be a famous CoD streamer to Haseshin, tweeted about a tournament where CoD management tolerated cheating.

It's an overseas online tournament, so there are some miscellaneous things, but this is as expected...

海外のオンライン大会なんで、雑いことはあるあるなんですが、これは流石に...

He says, 

Otoja's case

Also, although he is not a CoD specialist, there was a scene where Otoja who reigns as one of the top game streamers in Japan, expressed his dissatisfaction in the DMZ stream.

DMZ is a game in which you explore the vast world of CoDMWII, defeat specific enemies, conquer buildings, and acquire rare items. 

There was a bug in the place where the lock was originally locked, and if you put it in a vehicle, you can get out of the wall and put it in without a key.

When there was such an environment, he said in a rather strong tone, "That kind of thing is no good!"

Judging from the nuance, I felt that this was not a word directed at people who use bugs, but rather a word that was directed at such "game creation".

This is a word that represents the feelings of all game streamers.

If he is a normal player, he can use bugs to have fun and collect items.

But streamers are different.

Many people are watching, so he can't cheat.

It is required to attack in a normal way.

However, if this is a normal RPG, where the purpose is to follow the story, and the grabbing of items is a secondary element, bugs may be allowed to some extent.

However, DMZ is the purpose of the game to take items.

He can't skip the process of using his nerves to eliminate enemies and spending time collecting items.

If that happens, there will be no point in streaming this game.

However, some viewers, who know that bugs can easily be removed, wish they didn't take it seriously.

Game streamers will be caught between the good sense that they must clear the game properly and the listeners who advise strategies using bugs, and will be stressed.

In Otoja's case, it's probably a project from a game company.

Expressing dissatisfaction with the game in the game streaming is considerable.

Don't make games that embarrass game streamers.

CoD being abandoned by big game streamers is pretty dangerous.

For those of you who like CoD, my thoughts may be hard to hear.

There may be an opinion that people leave CoD because we say only negative things.

However, I felt that there was a reason why CoD departed from the FPS trend and people appeared in other games such as Apex and Valorant in Japan.

In fact, CoD neglects streamers.

They don't make interesting games that they can stream.

This is just my imagination, but if one streamer says something negative or refuses a project, CoD may think that they should ask another streamer to do the job.

However, dissatisfaction of streamers is also dissatisfaction of general users.

Such practices will eventually come to an end.

Because neither streamers nor users are infinite.

Vtuber(Virtual YouTuber) Nazuna Kaga also recommended Warzone 2.0 at first.

Like Haseshin, Nazuna also plays other games such as Apex, but it seems that Warzone 2.0 was treated as a special existence.

I think she put more effort than the project.

I think it's because she wanted to support Haseshin's earnest thoughts on CoD.

But she can't get views on emotions alone.

As a Vtuber and as a job, she can never ignore it.

Nazuna Kaga is a Vtuber with over 300k YouTube subscribers, but she can't afford to cut corners in her work.

It is no exaggeration to say that Vtubers are now a highly competitive red ocean with many companies entering the market.

YouTuber itself is already that.

In such a fierce battlefield, it is impossible to kill time with a bug and low-quality games without cheat countermeasures that accumulate viewers' frustration.

Also, if she buys Haseshin's spirit and focusing on Warzone2.0, she will inevitably follow it when Haseshin became reluctant.

What we can do for COD

COD production teams may increase their salary if the number of interest users increases temporarily.

(In fact, Season 1's DMZ had missions to collect dozens of rare items that only existed to prolong playtime. Perhaps, playtime is a criterion for evaluating game creators)

They may think that even if the user is away, it is better to leave it to the successor.

The replacement of human resources in the company is too early, and users are more familiar with the game content than employees.

It is a phenomenon that can often occur in the mainstream career -oriented and non -regular employment business in the United States.

It may not be a mistake to speculate that COD management has a shorter career than users who have loved COD for a long time, and not noticed.

Will Haseshin stop streaming of COD, and will the management of COD take it as an important thing?

How sincerely can be taken at the headquarters that this happened in Japan?

Personally, the COD seems to be too large, and it has been too divided into labor, so they became insensitive to such a crisis situation.

It is the latest Tweet about Haseshin's COD

まったり話しながらWARZONE2の様子を見にいってきたど〜！！
しっかり1位も取れた💯

中間アプデで武器の調整は来たものの！
ショットガンはまだ少し強いみたいなので、どうにかバランスが整ってくれるといいなー！！

引き続きアプデに期待！！#CoD #WARZONE2 pic.twitter.com/e1ysC1OJfB

He says, 

After the update, he has not been streamed yet that he only tested with RUSH friends.

And he felt that the quality that could be distributed had not yet reached.

He is good and can play.

But he may have felt that he could not be introduced to a wide range of people, such as new people.

Haseshin, who not only praised the sale, but also does not recommend anything that is not recommended for fans, is a reliable person.

And he hope that COD will still be better.

What can we do with one user, with one of Haseshin's funs, for such a COD?

One thing I can say is that we become honest.

The interesting part of the CoD is interesting, and the improvement is to appeal to the improvement.

It is better to refrain from behavior that can just be ranted about the management.

It is not good to express bad emotions as "bad!" As it is, but you need to tell the management why you think so.

If the reaction can be improved by seeing the reaction, it will improve.

New people may buy a word of mouth and buy, or they may stop buying.

If it becomes interesting, the COD will be resurrected in Japan.

If it doesn't become interesting, it may be replaced by another game someday.
