Fans ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfarehave been anxiously awaiting an official announcement for the rumored Battle Royale mode. While theSeason 2 intro cinematic teases battle royale, there’s been very little seen or heard of the mode in official communication. However, it appears that footage ofModern Warfare’sbattle royale has finally leaked online.
The original footage of the video has since been removed by Activision, though it had been circulating quite a bit since its initial leak, with plenty of breakdowns of the footage beginning to pop up all over the internet.Modern Warfare’sbattle royale map leakedsome time ago, and the footage seems to fall in line with what was seen there. The mode, apparently dubbed “Warzone”, should come sometime over the course of Season 2, though there’s no telling precisely when.

As far as the footage itself goes, it looks pretty much exactly how fans expected. Players run around collecting loot and battling against others as they try to survive out the storm, or green gas, and win the match. However, players are also able to earn currency throughout the match, called plunder, that can then be used to call in loadouts and other rewards, like a gas mask that helps survive in the green gas or a UAV.
Besides plunder, the mode looks similar to what was seen inBlack Ops 4,just with a more modern aesthetic. For players that have grown bored with the regular multiplayer matches, battle royale may be a more entertaining way to earnModern Warfare’sSeason 2 rewardsfrom the season pass. Worst case scenario, it adds a little bit more diversity to the match types.
The mode should prove to be a cool new addition to the game, though it still isn’t clear when it will launch. It seems to be mostly finished in the leaked footage, so it could drop in the next few weeks, but it isn’t entirely clear whether or not that will be the case.

For now, though, fans will just have to settle with what they have.
