The Walking Dead finally graces CoD with Season 2 of MW3 and Warzone. However, the reveal of protagonist Rick Grimes has led to some brutal roasts due to how dated it feels.
Season 1 is coming to a close in MW3 and Warzone, with some of the highlights being another crossover with The Boys, Warzone, MW3’s integration, and Ranked Play, albeit via a midseason update.
Season 2 is right around the corner, and trying to stir up the hype train, Activision has released key art for the upcoming season, which features a look at The Walking Dead protagonist, Rick Grimes.
While Rick’s appearance did garner some hype, it also opened the doors for many roasts at how dated the crossover feels.
