First gameplay to Warzone
Before you can start playing yourself, you can check out the gameplay of Call of Duty: Warzone in action, which was recorded at a play event at Activision. You’ll learn more below what features are in the new mode
All information about Warzone: This is how the mode plays
Here you will find all the details that are officially known before the start of the Battle Royale mode:
- Warzone is real: Some influencers have already been able to play and record gameplay shown in the videos. So Warzone is actually coming, even today!
- Junk mode confirmed: There is another respawn mode called "Plunder", which is about making money. He plays on the same card.
- Free2Play confirms: Warzone mode is assumed to be Free2Play. So you don't have to own Modern Warfare to play.
- Crossplay confirms: Cross plat form is also confirmed, so you can play on the PC and consoles together in the squad or of course against each other.
- The Warzone map: The card is said to be the largest call-of-duty map seen so far, but is still designed entirely by hand. It consists of set pieces from several multiplayer maps. It should also do well compared to other Battle Royale cards. It is said to be reminiscent of PUBG's Erangel and be a little smaller than the original Fortnite map.
- Loot system: You collect weapons as usual on the map and from boxes, but it is also important to hoard as much money as possible.
- Squads: You can play alone or in groups of two or three people. Youtuber Chaos explicitly criticizes that no 4 or 5 man squads are possible. There is always a squad leader.
- Number of players: Currently 150 players can play at the same time, later it is said to be 200. But that has not yet been confirmed.
- Zone mechanics: There is no fire wall like in Firestorm or an electric field like in PUBG. Instead, toxic gas shrinks the pitch over time.
- Assignments / missions: Optional orders appear on the minimap that can be completed. This includes bounties, reconnaissance missions and treasure hunts.
- Starting armament: When you jump off the plane, you already have a pistol with you and you don't stand empty-handed or bare-handed.
- Shops & Killstreaks: Stations are distributed on the map where you can buy killstreaks for collected money. You don't earn them by killing them.
- Respawn through money: Revive tokens are also available in the shops. If a colleague dies in the squad, the other players must collect enough money to revive him.
- Respawn by Gulag: If you die for the first time, you will be taken to the gulag and can earn a return to the match in a 1v1 duel for life and death.
- Vehicles: There are vehicles such as heavy trucks or vehicles equipped with weapons. Helicopters are also included. The control of the vehicles should be pleasant.
- Simplified armor: There are three armor levels in Warzone. You collect armor plates and can put up to three at the same time for maximum protection.
- No weapon attachments: You cannot improve weapons with attachments. Weapons with upgrades only come from supply crates that are dropped.
- Ping system: You can use a hotkey to alert your team members to your own position or to certain points on the map.
