Exciting Crossover Between Call of Duty and Fallout Announced

In the wake of the successful debut of the Fallout TV Show, the Fallout series continues to expand its reach with a brand-new collaboration, this time with the iconic shooter series Call of Duty. Set to be unveiled on June 20, this partnership also features an intriguing homage to one of the beloved quest mods in Fallout 4.


According to the official Call of Duty blog post, the crossover includes an update that will equip popular Call of Duty characters such as Price, Ghost, Soap, and Gaz in distinctive blue and yellow vault suits. These new operator skins, reflective of Fallout’s iconic design, aim to blend the aesthetics of both game worlds, though they may offer bold visibility on the battlefield.


The update serves as a creative nod to the passionate fan bases of both franchises and taps into the modding culture celebrated in the Fallout community, drawing a parallel with the experiences of mod installations that often lead to unique, albeit occasionally challenging, gaming setups.

McScratchey's Thoughts

Fallout Meets Call of Duty: A Crossover We Didn't Know We Needed!

When I stumbled upon the news of a Fallout and Call of Duty crossover, my first thought was—now this is an unexpected yet thrilling mashup! Merging the apocalyptic charm of Fallout with the high-octane energy of Call of Duty could either be a recipe for disaster or a delightful surprise. Thankfully, it seems we're veering towards the latter. 🎮🍄


Retro Yet Refreshing: The Blend of Old and New

The partnership, as detailed in an official blog post,Call of Duty universe. Yes, Price and Ghost in those vintage blue and yellow jumpsuits! While they might stick out in a battlefield like sore thumbs, it's a fashion statement we're here for!


A Nod to Modders: A Community-Driven Easter Egg?

What tickled my fancy the most, though, was the subtle nod to one of Fallout 4's most renowned quest mods. As an avid fan who’s witnessed my fair share of glitchy screens and mod-induced crashes, I find it downright hilarious and heartwarming to see Activision acknowledging the modding community—intentionally or not. It's as if someone over there also spent countless nights figuring out how to make The Commonwealth even more chaotic.


Final Take: From Virtual Mods to Mainstream Mods

To wrap it up, the crossover does more than just merge two game worlds; it highlights the impactful role of community creators in enriching game narratives and experiences. It’s delightful to see big names like Call of Duty embracing such elements, albeit in a light, promotional manner. Whether you find the idea bizarre or brilliant, it certainly adds a fresh layer to both games, and honestly, who wouldn’t want to see Price taking on raiders in a Vault 111 jumpsuit?


Can't wait to see how this pans out in the actual gameplay! To echo the sentiment: Here's to hoping we don't end up with a "load order conflict" in the real world. 😉
