In fact, the new version of the popular Warzone is releasing about two weeks after the launch of Modern Warfare 2, the sequel to the 2019 reboot.ADVERT ADVERT Call of Duty Warzone 2 0 release date Credit: Activision Blizzard Confirming previous rumours, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 releases on November 16th, much sooner than its predecessor. The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare reboot launched on October 25th, 2019. However, the first iteration of Warzone didn’t arrive until March 10th, 2020. So at least we won’t be waiting very long for 2.0 to arrive. Furthermore, unlike the first Call of Duty Warzone, Warzone 2.0 will share the same engine as the Modern Warfare 2 reboot. Hopefully, this should hopefully mean that there’ll be more continuity between the two games.ADVERT ADVERT What s new in Warzone 2 0 Credit: Activision Blizzard As the title of this article states, there will be a new third-person mode for Warzone. Players will have a choice of the series’ traditional first-person, as well as the third-person viewpoint. The new perspective will also be playable via Modern Warfare 2 playlists, a nod to the OG MW2 of 2009. Warzone’s new location is the desert map called Al Mazrah. Additionally, AI soldiers will patrol loot on the map, adding an extra layer of challenge for real-world players. So not only will Warzone 2.0 feature PvP, but it will also have simultaneous PvE of sorts. There will also be a new sandbox mode called DMZ, which is apparently Call of Duty’s take on Escape from Tarkov, a game considered to be a hardcore shooter.ADVERT ADVERT Credit: Activision Blizzard Call of Duty Warzone Mobile Activision Blizzard has confirmed that Call of Duty Warzone Mobile will feature cross-progression as well as shared social features with its PC and console counterparts. Modern Warfare 2 beta Further details were also revealed for the Modern Warfare 2 beta. Ground War will be a focus of the beta with 32v32 battles taking place on the Sariff Bay map.
