In gaming, collaborations between different franchises often make the players excited. One of the major collaborations that will go live on June 20th isCall of Duty: Warzone x Fallout, which had players filled with excitement.
However, after seeing the recent trailer posted byCall of Duty, fans have been disappointed, to say the least. They expected a whole range of new additions, but all we are getting isCaptain Price in a Vault suit.
Unfulfilled Potential: A Missed Opportunity forFalloutandCall of Duty
When players first heard about theFalloutcollaborationwithCall of Duty Warzone, theirimagination ran wild. Players were speculating that the Verdansk map might become a wasteland and new, bizarre, but innovative weapons from the post-apocalyptic world would be adopted.
Some were assuming that players would get the opportunity to wear the Power Armor, a staple of theFallout series, and act as a tank mid-battle.Then there were the weapons, as the sheer amount of impressive weapons inFalloutis crazy, such as Flamer, pipe pistols, plasma rifles, etc., that would have changed Warzone’s gameplay experience.
A post shared by Call of Duty (@callofduty)
The post was filled with comments like these:
Missed chance to make a T- 45 power armor juggernaut reskin
The collab noooo one asked for
As is evident, fans were firmly unimpressed with the drop:
No BOS power armor?!?!?!?
NCR Ranger was the biggest miss in a crossover there has been.
However, what we are getting isCaptain Price in a Vault Suit, the signature blue-and-yellow jumpsuit of a Vault Dweller. The reveal was very disappointing and fans are not holding back invoicing their discontent. Some are even calling this a major miss-opportunity for both games. One Fan (Dinguz.exe)commented on theofficial teaser:
Y’all could’ve added NCR Veteran Ranger armor, a Vault Boy mascot outfit, a set of power armor, or at least a ghoul. The amount of missed potential here is crazy, bro.

This comment perfectly summarizes the whole drama, both studios should have worked together to create an immersive showcase of their respective universe. Instead, what we are getting is content inspired by alack of imagination and ambition. This is looking like ashallow attempt to cash in on the nostalgia and fan loyalty of the two juggernaut franchises.
Community Reaction: From Excitement to Criticism
Todd Howard’sFalloutseries is known for its rich storytelling and immersive world, yet its collaboration withCall of Dutymakes it a simplecosmetic swap. Howard has not shared his thoughts on the drama, but one can only assume what’s going on in his mind.
From all the comments on various platforms, one thing was clear, the collab’s potential was super high, and with more effort, it could have been a great addition to both franchises. Items like Power Armor, Super Mutant Armor, Scavenger Outfits, and even the Flamer were left behind on the cutting room floor. Instead, we are getting a Captain Price in a Vault Suit, a decision that left many speechless.

In the end, this collaboration will be live on June 20th and players can attempt to enjoy it. As for the future, one can only hope that future collaborations will be able to take notes from this and remember that bringing together two beloved franchises takes ambition and should not just be a way to make money.
