Is Beenox developing Call of Duty for the Switch?

The rumors for a possible release of the latest installment in the Call of Duty franchise for the Nintendo Switch have been getting more and more credibility in the days that led up to the reveal of Call of Duty WWII.

 Firstly, an anonymous source stated that no platforms will be included in the reveal …

Interesting

[JHOP]

Interesting. Just like their Instagram account ;) just saying

[seanpitt23]

If there is money to be made then Activision Will be there in front of the queue.

I just can't see this being able to run on the switch especially with the player count for mp it's only got 1TF of performance they will have to scale it down alot if they was to go ahead with it.

[boomtube1987]

Switch doesn't have 1 tflops of compute power. What are u on crack? Its a downclock tegra of 2012 spec. So its more like 500 gigaflops

[CrimsonPheonix]

I wasn't planning on buying it anyway but I'll get it on switch if I can play it on the go, even if the graphics are weaker.

[Neonridr]

I think a bunch of people on N4G would be eating some crow if this turned out to be correct...

[JHOP]

Check out the Beenox instagram for clues ;) they must be working on something.

[Benchm4rk]

They lost Spiderman didn't they? Activision would have to be putting them to use somewhere surely

[gangsta_red]

I can think of someone in particular who would be having some take out on crow.

[Snk91]

Regardless if it comes to Switch or not it won't look as good as the others. Certainly not the Scorpio version, which is the only one I'm interested in. So go play on the go if that happens all you want. But it still won't touch the Scorpio version..

[JHOP]

That's true, but it's good that Activision is offering something for everyone :)

[Yodagamer]

Its probably going to be horrible look up beenox last call of duty port, black ops 3 on ps3 and xbox 360

[JHOP]

They worked on the Modern Warfare remaster also though. And I'm sure their Black Ops III port was on a tight budget.

[JHOP]

They did, Crotaaa.

[Prince_TFK]

@Crotaaa

They worked with Certain Affinity and Raven Software.

You mean the port of a game made for current gen and ported to last gen? It sounds like you're saying that it's supposed to look exactly like current gen... if it's not obvious it's not going to

[Outlawzz]

Your stating the obvious here buddy nobody even mentioned Xbox. I would buy it on switch, I'm buying on PS4 and would change that to switch if true. Don't have much at home game time these days. Idc how it looks I care about how it runs and whether multiplayer is stable

[PlayableGamez-]

You would really play COD with them joycons?

[Lockdown555]

Amen to that! I actually enjoyed the original modern warfare on the Wii even though the graphics we're pretty terrible. The gameplay was still super solid and that it made it a joy to play.

[MecheSlays]

oh well. im gonna be able to play call of duty in study hall and on car rides with my hotspot.

[PlayableGamez-]

No your not

[bluefox755]

It won't even touch the base Xbox version, Switch is considerably underpowered compared to current gen.

[EddieNX]

Switch is a portable tablet and Scorpio is hot tub sized. Apples and Pumkins

[Lockdown555]

It's funny how the graphics argument only holds up until someone brings up the PC and then it becomes irrelevant all of a sudden... ;)

[Liqu1d]

You don't say.

[light69]

Lmao why is this something you need to talk about? You sound dimwitted and stupid, just another fanboy graphic troll. It's obvious it won't look like the Scorpio version so why even start comparing? Lol you say it won't touch the Scorpio version like if it's wanting to lmao god you're an idiot, the only good thing about this is that if the rumor is true then it means 3rd party for the switch is happening, somthing trolls have been bitching about

[porkChop]

The graphics aren't what people love about COD, so why would worse graphics matter? What people love about COD is 60fps, and the responsiveness of controls, etc. The "feel" is what makes it a COD game. I think a lot of people wouldn't mind a hit to the graphics if they could take the game on the go.

[dubal-e]

I'd definitely buy COD for switch

[jonivtec]

Good potenciel there....online...on the go....hummmm yessss ok

[Sirk7x]

That's honestly probably the only thing that could make me want to buy another entry from the series. I swore off CoD after playing Ghosts. God, that game was awful.

[Smokingunz]

Only the multiplayer was aweful but the actusl csmpaign was great! !!! Infinite estate was terrible all around.

[MasterCornholio]

The more third party support the better

[Relientk77]

I mean if you want no one online to play with, you can buy Call of Duty for the Switch

[gdemos01]

I would

[light69]

Why would that be the case? As far as I know you can play online on the switch.

[Profchaos]

Maybe a spin off version I.e. Call of duty waw ps2 or cod black ops declassified.

Still looks like the game was designed to make the most of the pro and Scorpio so a cut down version still has a chance considering the engines versatility my toaster can run cod if you turn the settings down low enough

[Matology]

Toast warfare.

[MetroidFREAK21]

I would double dip...

[fungusar]

I'd definitely buy COD for switch

[Razzer]

Not the kind of game I bought a Switch for, personally. Sales numbers for the game will be interesting, if true.

Either way, the third party support is welcome

[OhReginald]

....so give it to the people that ported black ops 3 to the ps3/ 360? ......oh Christ....

[JHOP]

they also worked on the MW Remaster :)

[gangsta_red]

If this is true, the question is what era will this CoD take place in?

[JHOP]

WWII

[gangsta_red]

A shame, would like to see Switch get their own CoD set somewhere else.

[MrSega]

Waste of time and resources, I don't believe on Activision spending too much on that.

[PhoenixUp]

Would a Call of Duty game even sell well on NS

[TheUndertaker85]

Probably not. Call of Duty never does spectacularly on a Nintendo platform.
http://www.vgchartz.com/gam...

Even the PSP game Roads to Victory moved about as much as the highest selling Wii title which was the highest selling Call of Duty on a Nintendo platform.

[JHOP]

For Wii those numbers were considered a success. Remember, they had a smaller team and budget working on Wii versions and they're still the most fun to play.

[TheUndertaker85]

...You're trying to say a Wii port shouldn't have had a smaller budget & team working on it? While it's a port?

You also think the Wii titles had a smaller budget than titles like Call of Duty Roads to Victory or Call of Duty Declassified?

To make matters worse you're talking about a console moving 100+million units but didn't even move more than 2.24 million with any title. While Declassified released on a handheld which just passed 15 million units sold but yet managed to move over 1.5 million copies.

One of those shows a >2% conversion rate for the best selling Call of Duty game on a Nintendo platform while the other shows a 10% conversion rate and isn't best selling by any means.

I'd also like to point out you claim they're "the most fun to play" but clearly the audience doesn't agree. Even the online totals for more successful titles like Black Ops 2 sees the lowest active players of any platform for the title.

Clearly Call of Duty on a Nintendo platform isn't considered successful by any means. Likely why Activision hasn't been releasing Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms as of late.
