OW has one single development studio.

Call of Duty has multiple development studios, and no, Modern Warfare 2 doesn’t have 3000 team members…

I wasn’t aware of the relatively small size. Sounds like they need more troops.

EDIT: Call of Duty as a franchise has 11 studios working on it…

6

The OG team for OW1 had 40
They claim that they had 3 times more of OW2 which means at least 120 and yet they struggle to do what the team of 40 was doing back in the days.

There’s a difference between 3000 people and 3000 devs tho

8

Even so, Modern Warefare 2 didn’t have 3000 people working on it.

The FRANCHISE itself has 3000 people working on different titles.

but the link i provide it literally specificly said about MW2

not COD in general

edit: nvm its clickbait title LOL fml

Above a certain size, the number of developers working on a game actually has a detrimental effect.
They need to be paid well and stay motivated, they shouldn’t have to worry about what’s going on in their company.

Yeah no. That would be incorrect. The FRANCHISE has over 3000 people working on different CoD titles, not for just one game.

They have their main dev studios then they have sub dev studios etc.

For Overwatch 2, the problem isn’t the amount of people they have on the team, it’s the people managing said dev team, because they are as incompetent as they can possibly get.
