In Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, a data miner has seemingly struck gold. He claims to have discovered a massive mode for 200 players that is assembled from previous maps. It is said to be a “Battle Royale” mode – it sounds like an XXL Fortnite, but with some new ideas.
This is what the data miner says: The thread by data miner Senescallo on reddit is titled “Battle Royale coming to Modern Warfare” – there isn’t much cohesive text, mostly statistics and names of individual maps, locations, perks, and special features.
200 Men in Battle Royale
What kind of mode is this? It is a 200-man Battle Royale mode.
Players will have the option to play solo, in duos, or in squad mode (with 4 players). The maximum health in the mode is 150.
What distinguishes Battle Royale in CoD from Fortnite?
Here are the specifics: Similar to Fortnite, there will be a possibility to revive fallen team members at an “Ambulance”, but you must collect their token.
However, players must win a “one-on-one” against another player to come back.
The place where they fight is called “Gulag”. The leaker says it’s like a “King of the Hill”: Players wait in line until it’s their turn and watch other players in the Gulag fight.
Additionally, there will be a “prison riot” that allows all players to return to the match. However, the Gulag will also be closed at a certain point during the match.
Moreover, there will be various types of missions – only one mission per squad can be active at a time. The types of missions include targeting opponents, finding specific items, or capturing a certain point.
There will be 5 rarity levels, following the known item color code: “white – green – blue – purple – gold” with limited inventory space.
There are 2 types of armors planned, a helmet and a bulletproof vest, both coming in 3 levels. The highest level provides special bonuses: The helmet protects against flash and stun grenades. The vest enhances the effect of healing items.
There are also 20 perks planned, from faster reload times to increased drop chances from opponents.
Players could also “loot” items and then exchange them for XP or bet money on fighters in the Gulag.
What is known about the map? The map is said to consist of 15 zones, including existing maps from Modern Warfare:
- Airfield
- Boneyard
- Dam
- Downtown
- Gulag
- Hospital
- Layover
- Lumber
- Overgrown
- Port
- Quarry
- Storage Town
- Supercenter
- Trainyard
- TV Station
Special landmarks are also planned:
- Bank
- Fire Station
- Gas Station
- Gun Store
- Pharmacy
- Police Station
Matches Previous Speculations
Is this certain? No, but the data miner has previously found some data that later made its way into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
However, it is not certain. He himself says all information could still change.
It is generally assumed now that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare will bring a Battle Royale mode “at some point” after release.
Activision Blizzard announced that Modern Warfare would be significantly expanded after release. This mode could fit well.
So far, “Ground Wars” is the showcase mode for the enormous ambitions that Modern Warfare should fulfill – a 200-man Battle Royale would be a logical step.
