Call of Duty: Modern Warfare’s battle royale mode Warzone is, if the rumors are to be believed, coming very soon. Perhaps due to the nearness of its announcement and launch, or perhaps because rumormongers feel comfortable putting out unverifiable leaks, early details regarding Warzone continue to be spread. The latest example is with regards to how progression will work in Warzone. The system may leaveModern Warfareplayers with both positive and negative feelings.
According to YouTube channel TheGamingRevolution, Warzone doesn’t have its own progression tracks. The report claims that the ranking and battle pass systems inModern Warfare’s current multiplayersystem will be unified in Warzone. Progressing in Warzone will work in the same way as progressing in standardModern Warfareand vice versa. It’ll all be connected.

However, there does sound like there’s a limitation to this progress. Some files reportedly imply that there will be serious limitations placed on freeWarzone players. For example, there may be a level cap on progression for free players until they purchase the fullModern Warfaregame. There may even be a limitation on Operators available in the mode, as well as things like cosmetics or even Kill Streaks.
This leak also mentions what sounds like a different type of Warzone mode named Blood Money. It’s unclear if this is a unique type of Warzone mode, perhaps a competitive version, or if it’s maybe even a version exclusive to owners ofModern Warfare. It may also be a version that uses a different type of Plunder, which is the in-game currency used to buy items in Warzone. Infinity Ward has a lot of information left to share, despite all of theWarzone-related leaks so far.
While all of the leaks surroundingModern Warfare’s Warzone battle royale mode may make it seem like it’s a complicated and perhaps controversial release, that’s certainly an exaggeration. Warzone will be, almost certainly, a popular battle royale mode that’s widely accessible due to being free. There may be some controversy regarding its monetization and live service elements, because there always is with those types of games, but there’s no reason to worry just yet. It certainly won’t haveModern Warfare’s spawning controversies, at least.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfareis available now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
