Call of Duty 2020 Won’t Have Jetpacks

4.2
Over the past few years, Call of Duty has dabbled in futuristic settings (to say the least) with much more frequency than it did in its earlier years, and though 2019’s Modern Warfare was a decidedly more grounded and realistic shooter, there’s no telling whether the series’ 2020 instalment will follow that same trend. One thing we can be sure of, though, is that the next Call of Duty won’t have jetpacks… probably.

Taking recently to Twitter, David Vonderhaar of Treyarch said (quite emphatically) in response to a fan asking whether there will be jetpacks in the next Call of Duty that that wouldn’t be the case. In a subsequent tweet, he said that he “[has] PTSD” from the way fans reacted when jetpacks were first revealed for Call of Duty: Black Ops 3, when, in Vonderhaar’s words, fans “hung me from the highest branch.” So… yeah- it doesn’t look like he’s the biggest jetpack fan out there.

If you’re wondering why Treyarch are involved in discussions surrounding the next Call of Duty instead of Sledgehammer Games, reports last year indicated that Activision are breaking the three studio-cycle for the series’ 2020 release due to internal issues at Sledgehammer, while a Treyarch job listing added more fuel to the fire a few months later.

Reportedly, the next Call of Duty is going to be titled simple Call of Duty: Black Ops and will have a campaign that spans 40 years.

I hope they stick to boots on the ground. The only problem with the new cod is that they wont update the game and fix problems that have been there since day one.

Cookie That's kinda obvious at this point COD is trying to turn back into the right direction like the BO2 and MW2 days.

Until people get bored of the same game each year future of not or a dev who just remakes old maps instead of making new ones occur. Then they'll be in for some confusion.

Nice to see they wont have jet packs but maybe they could have a LTM with them that would seem like a good idea

If they picked up where sledgehammer left off it will be another Cold War theme.

I liked bo3 and infinite warfare jetpacks. However, boots on ground is much better. Just want prestige back. Actual challenges you don't have to get top level for. Basically a better version of bo4 please.

Brilliant decision. No jetpacks, boots on the ground gameplay, praise the lord!

BO2 remaster without any random p2w rubbish

I just hope its like black ops

The fact they even have to confirm that there wont be jetpacks just shows are bad the series has become.

I don't mind 'jetpacks' if the movement is similar to AW but I didn't care for the other CODs that have them.
