Call of Duty Warzone - Gamers Guide
Call of Duty Warzone
Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play battle royale video
game released on March 10, 2020, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft
Windows. A version for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S has been announced
to be released sometime in the future. The game is a part of 2019's Call of
Duty: Modern Warfare and is connected to 2020's Call of Duty: Black Ops: Cold
War and 2021's Call of Duty: Vanguard (but does not require the purchase of either
title) and was introduced during Season 2 of Modern Warfare content. Warzone
is developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software (the latter later credited as
the sole developer following the integration of Cold War's content) and
published by Activision. Warzone allows online multiplayer combat among 150
players, although some limited-time game modes support 200 players. Other modes
include Plunder, Rebirth Resurgence, Buy Back Solos, and others. The game
features both cross-platform play and cross-platform progression between three
games.
The game features two main modes: Battle Royale and Plunder.
Warzone introduces a new in-game currency system that can be used at "Buy
Stations" in and around the map. "Loadout" drops are an example
of where Cash can be traded for limited access to players' custom classes
(which were shared with Modern Warfare's standard modes prior to Season 6,
v1.29, but now are unique to Warzone). Players may also use Cash to purchase
items such as "killstreaks" and gas masks. Cash can be found by
looting buildings and killing players that have cash on them. At launch,
Warzone only offered Trios, a squad capacity of three players. However, in free
post-launch content updates, Solos, Duos and Quads have all been added to the
game.
The game received generally positive reviews from critics,
with the maps receiving specific praise. In April 2021, Activision announced
that Warzone had surpassed 100 million active players.
