an unlikely mode and expected nerfs

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 are getting a brand new Midseason 1 patch. On the menu is Rocket League and the highly anticipated balancing.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 has been out since late October and literally blew up Activision’s counter by breaking all records. Real hen with golden eggs, the devs are taking care and getting ready to put out a first major patch for Season 1.

With its Reloaded patch Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 add a totally unlikely new game mode, the Warzone Cup, a Rocket League with gravy call of Duty. We replace the colored cars with quads, use soldiers and throw everything into a soccer stadium. The special FIFA World Cup event will be available from December 14th and will allow you to win several exclusive rewards. Also, you can still take advantage of the skin packs in the colors of legendary footballers Pogba, Messi and Neymar if you feel like it.

Along with this surprising addition Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 etc Warzone 2.0 are using this major patch to revamp their UI and most importantly, to balance themselves a bit. You’ll soon have no reason to rage against the Kastov 74u or the Anti-Riot Shield, as the latter take the nerve to force them into the ranks, and that’s not too bad. We will also note adjustments to the vehicles and tons of bug fixes of all kinds.
