Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is about to be released and any information will be gratefully received. But why are leaked football gods suddenly torn apart?

Santa Monica, USA – Modern Warfare 2 will be released in a few days. Years of waiting for the hardcore Call of Duty are almost over and a new leak is shortening the time to release. Unfortunately, the latest information is torn up on social media. Because apparently the CoD players can’t do anything with the stars from FIFA 23 like Messi or Neymar.

Call of Duty MW2: That’s why players hope that the FIFA leak about Messi and Ronaldo is fake

This is the football leak:

• Since October 11th, the news has been circulating that Modern Warfare 2 will get skins from well-known football players.
• It is said that in the new Call of Duty stars like Messi, Neymar or Ronaldo will shoot their way through the matches.
• In recent years there have been skins for Rambo, the Terminator or real people like Snoop Dogg in CoD.
• Currently the hyper-hype phase for the new Call of Duty is, every piece of information is analyzed in detail and mostly celebrated by fans. But the football gods as operators come off unusually badly. There’s a good reason for that.

Messi & Co get torn apart in CoD: The “Modern Warfare” series is celebrated by CoD players for everything under the credo of realism. For years, the fans rang out to the publisher: “Boots to the Ground“So feet on the ground. Call of Duty should finally be down to earth again after trips into space.

In MW2, Captain Price, Soap and Ghost experience realistic adventures, the scenario of an impending 3rd World War could hardly be more topical. In multiplayer, realistic camouflage suits and current military clothing already dominate in the beta. A brightly colored soccer jersey, striped leg warmers and shorts just look out of place. By the way, you can test the MW2 campaign for yourself a week before release.

Modern Warfare 2 is set to get stars from FIFA 23 – but fans don’t want soccer gods in the serious shooter

That’s what the shooter fans are hoping for now: FIFA23 is all the rage right now and iconic footballers like Messi or Ronaldo are attracting thousands of players. Streamers dominate Twitch thanks to FIFA23. If CoD wants to ride the wave of success, that would only be understandable. But the CoD players hope that the football leak will turn out to be fake.

For example, a thread is trending on reddit with the simple statement: “Soccer Players as Playable Characters [in MW2]? Please do not.“ In less than a day, over 500 comments have already been collected under it.

Frightened, the players remember the rather hated CoD Vanguard, which will then be replaced by MW2 on October 28th. The deadly serious world war scenario was transformed into a colorful neon circus after the launch with skins from the shop. For example, we read on Twitter: “When the game turns into Vanguard, I will…” and “I just want Modern Warfare to be about modern warfare” [Modern Warfare heißt übersetzt moderne Kriegsführung].

How likely is the leak? Unfortunately, we cannot say conclusively how realistic the leak is at the moment. Call of Duty has had crazier skins than soccer stars. So you can run around as a manga character or as an 80s action hero. Even if many players complain about this year after year, Activision’s success seems to prove it right. Fortnite is doing a similar thing, thanks to its crossover (like with Dragon Ball) everyone is always talking about it.

Not to forget, however, that there is already a Warzone operator who goes into battle with a worn-out football jersey. However, that doesn’t exude star power like a Messi or Neymar would. The leak of a gigantic “best of card package” is currently much more likely. Insiders promise the best maps of the entire CoD series as DLC.
