A Little Tease for Call of Duty’s Fallout Collaboration is All Fans Need to Speculate on the Skins and Operators We’re Getting

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is trying its hardest to make a comeback in the eyes of its community. Given that the next game in this long-running franchise is right around the corner, it makes sense that the black sheep of the modern era now wishes to redeem itself.

With excellent new collaborations and the return of some good old classic weapons, public perception of Modern Warfare 3 may improve. If it hasn’t happened for you already, wait till you check out what’s next in store for the game—a potential fallout collaboration.

Since Microsoft acquired Activision Blizzard King, people have speculated that a few crossovers and collaborations between ABK and Bethesda, Xbox’s two biggest studios, may be imminent. Admittedly, it is quite an exciting prospect—imagine Captain Price or Soap wielding a Kar98 and taking on Fiends alongside a veteran NCR ranger.

CoD: Zombies has previously explored similar concepts, but a full-fledged collaboration would undoubtedly be remarkable. This dream may turn into a reality, as X/Twitter user @DETONATEDcom recently suggested a possible partnership between the franchises.

Initial reactions to the news have been positive, with fans of the two series hoping their favorite Fallout characters will appear in Modern Warfare 3.

Some also pointed out how this move is one of the best ways to unite two disjointed but large Xbox communities. Given the platform’s recent debacles, something of this sort will help strengthen people’s faith, even if it’s in a minuscule amount.

A few suggest that despite all speculation, there will not be any Fallout collaboration, and Call of Duty will recycle old skins as new once again. Perhaps it is too cynical a take, but it’s one that many Call of Duty fans unfortunately agree with at some level.

The bigger question, then, is whether or not Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 can turn their fate around as the point of this franchise’s worst state.

Right now, Call of Duty‘s fanbase is united for three reasons. First, the series’ gunplay and gameplay loop have never been more satisfying. Second, the multiplayer continues to remain unserious, predatory, and toxic. Lastly, the single-player campaign of the MW3 remake was the franchise at its worst in terms of writing.

Given these last two things, it is difficult to determine whether all these collaborations and the return of a few series classics can truly save the franchise. Every day, more veterans continue to move away from the franchise as a newer and younger audience joins in on the ride.

With the release of Black Ops 6, Call of Duty may turn a new leaf and take the franchise back to its roots as a serious yet arcadey military shooter. For now, however, we can only speculate whether a Fallout X Call of Duty collaboration will save the day.

That said, what do you think of this collaboration? Do you think it may just attract new fans from Bethesda’s community? Let us know in the comments below.
