According to new leaks, the successor will be completely different

What does the leaked gameplay show us?

Where does the information come from?

• TheMW2Ghost has shared a short clip purporting to show actual gameplay footage from Modern Warfare 2.
• NerosCinema has a six minute video uploaded via Warzone 2, in which he addresses various leaks that he is said to have received from an insider.
• Tom Hendersona trusted industry insider, wants to confirm a lot of the alleged information about Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.

Leaked clip reveals little information: A short in-game clip was also leaked on Twitter, which Henderson called real designated. In the short video, however, you can only see how a player reloads his weapon and then examines it. The weapon and the equipment apparently confirm the modern setting.

However, the surroundings are not very informative, since you can only see a little lawn, a few trees and the edge of a steppe in the area. The video has since been removed for copyright infringement, which in turn speaks for the authenticity of the clip. According to Henderson, the material dates roughly to December 2021 and does not represent the current state of development.

Loadouts probably harder to get: Loadouts, which are a unique selling point of Warzone, will still exist, but players in Warzone 2 should have to complete so-called strongholds. Strongholds could be specific locations on the map where players encounter AI opponents and need to defuse a bomb, for example.

Armor plates require a bag: In Warzone 2 you should soon no longer be able to use the plates just like that. First you have to find a suitable bag on the map.

Limited Inventory: In the future, players should carry a backpack with them, which should only offer limited space for objects, sounds like Tarkov. Additional weapons can still be carried, but they take up a lot of space.

Other small changes said to be coming:

• The so-called pro-perks (perks that can be leveled up) should come back in Warzone 2 and thus also in Modern Warfare 2.
• A shooting range where you can try loadouts and weapons. Fans have been expressing this wish for a long time.
• Weapons should only get five instead of eight slots for attachments.
• Slide-Canceling shouldn’t exist anymore. This is a technique in which you can switch from sliding directly to the tactical sprint.

CoD MW2: Fans definitely don’t want these features

Old locations from Modern Warfare 2 will probably return in Warzone 2: As we already know from the current CoD Warzone, some of the old classics in Warzone 2 will also return in the new offshoot. Among others: Afgan, Terminal, Quarry and Highrise.

Warzone 2 and the new DMZ mode could get the same map: The leakers claim to have learned from various sources that the maps from both modes should be the same. The screenshots received from the last few months should confirm this. While could Verdansk find a way back into the game at a later time.

One of the leakers is said to have seen part of the Warzone 2 map and drew it by hand. Apart from the various icons, roads and a river, not much can be seen. However, the weapon symbol could be one of the strongholds mentioned:

What is officially known about MW2 and Warzone 2 so far?

Activision hasn’t let much of a look at the cards so far and hasn’t shared too much information with us yet. However, we have summarized everything important about Modern Warfare 2 for you. The same applies to the new DMZ mode, which is said to be heavily based on Escape from Tarkov.

Our expert assessment

The developers are apparently trying to slow down the gameplay in the Battle Royale offshoot Warzone 2 and give the survival aspect a certain strength again. It starts with small changes like this armor plates. Having to find an extra bag in order to equip plates reinvigorates the urge to search houses and crates. The same goes for the limited space that is standard in other battle royale titles. Lost in thought, collecting everything that isn’t on the tree when there are three will no longer be possible and will slow down the game speed again if you also have to worry about item management in the future.

The change to the loadout, which you should only get from completing strongholds, can easily backfire. The Warzone change that you can no longer scam your loadout right at the beginning was already hotly debated when CoD Vanguard was released. Hiding your equipment behind more hurdles would probably not be a good idea. By linking the main series with the Battle Royale offshoot, the players are constantly working towards being able to create a perfect loadout. That’s what makes Warzone what it is and sets it apart from other genres.

A breath of fresh air can still do no harm, but developers should be aware of what their community wants and not try to serve every taste half-heartedly. Because Warzone is unique in the Battle Royale segment precisely because of the fast and aggressive gameplay. I don’t think it’s a good idea to adapt the content to classic titles like PUBG. Because last year, a small shooter from Dice showed what happens when you just throw your own DNA overboard.
