Call of Duty is going on the content offensive again with Season 4 Reloaded, which is all about The Boys. You can find out everything about the new update in our overview.

Update from 12 July

Just before the launch of Season 4 Reloaded in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 numerous fans on the net are apparently venting frustration and anger over the upcoming content.

On Reddit, complaints are piling up that the roadmap is overloaded with paid content such as skin bundles, but the crossover with The Boys is also being criticised.

  • TheRealPdGaming erases all shop bundles from the roadmap and posts the image with the comment “Season 4 Reloaded without bundles looks bleak”. It earns a lot of encouragement.
  • Legionnairy1 criticises The Boys crossover: “This is the dumbest snot they”ve ever made. And I actually love The Boys.” It gets almost 100 upvotes.
  • Gacham50 has balance concerns about the new superpowers: “Keep the operator skins but the field upgrades are a terrible idea. Imagine shooting someone and they just teleport away.”

    Original message of 11 July
