Some of these changes include red dots on the map, like traditionalCall of Dutymultiplayer, as well as the ability to actually drive the train that snakes around Urzikstan. The map will have a core Gulag for when players suffer their first death, but there will also be Gulag variants to shake things up, like a night vision Gulag, for example. Players can also look forward to various quality of life improvements, like gas masks being always equipped instead of having a distracting animation and players always having a pistol handy when they’re on ladders or underwater. The game will have a higher Time to Kill, horizontal ziplines, and the movement from theModern Warfare 3multiplayer. On paper, it sounds like this new take onWarzoneis making a lot of changes based on fan feedback, and it will be interesting to see how it comes together in practice.
This newWarzonemap was revealed as part of the Call of Duty Next event, which gave fans their best looks yet atModern Warfare 3multiplayer and the ambitiousopen world Zombies mode. As it turns out, the Zombies mode will actually be set on the newWarzonemap. Activision is clearly investing a lot into this map, and time will tell if the gamble pays off.
Call of Duty: Warzoneis available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
