<p dir="ltr">Treyarch Studio Design Director David &#8220;Vahn&#8221; Vonderhaar wants you to know that he really hates jetpacks, and judging from some recent comments of his, it&#8217;s unlikely that we&#8217;ll see their return in <a href="https://www.ign.com/games/call-of-duty-2019">Call of Duty&#8217;s</a></p>
<p> 2020 game. </p>
<p />
<p dir="ltr">First reported by <a href="https://charlieintel.com/vahn-says-next-call-of-duty-wont-have-jet-packs-says-he-still-has-ptsd-from-fan-reaction/58737/?amp&amp;__twitter_impression=true">CharlieIntel</a>, Vonderhaar took to Twitter to respond to a fan tweeting &#8220;you butter [sic] have jetpacks in the next COD.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;NO,&#8221; Vonderhaar replied succinctly.</p>
<p dir="ltr">Responding to another fan who said that jetpacks would &#8220;revive&#8221; Call of Duty, Vonderhaar elaborated on why he&#8217;s so against their return.</p>
<p dir="ltr">&#8220;Such short-term memories,&#8221; Vonderhaar tweeted. &#8220;You hung me from the highest branch. No. NO. I have PTSD.&#8221;</p>
<p dir="ltr">So there you have it. Treyarch has yet to announce any concrete information about their next Call of Duty game, but it looks like jetpacks aren&#8217;t high on the wish list for at least one director at the studio. Jetpacks were last seen in Treyarch&#8217;s Black Ops 3, and their inclusion in the franchise&#8217;s multiplayer proved to be a divisive one. Critics derided the use of jetpack-like exosuits as a continued move away from Call of Duty&#8217;s core competitive shooting, while fans praised the way it fundamentally altered movement strategies and provided new players a tool to escape or return fire.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Either way, it&#8217;s ultimately Treyarch&#8217;s decision, as the company <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05/18/2020-call-of-duty-will-reportedly-now-be-black-ops-5-due-to-alleged-development-shift">took over development of the 2020 Call of Duty game from Raven Software and Sledgehammer</a>, according to a March report from Kotaku. Raven and Sledgehammer will continue to work as support studios, but this marks the first time since 2012 that Activision has broken the three-studio development cycle split between Infinity Ward, Treyarch, and Raven/Sledgehammer. For a more in-depth explanation on Activision&#8217;s decision to shake up the longstanding cycle, <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/2019/05/18/2020-call-of-duty-will-reportedly-now-be-black-ops-5-due-to-alleged-development-shift">read here</a>.</p>
