A leak video for the new Battle Royale mode “Warzone” in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare surfaced some time ago. The creator had to delete it – now it has reappeared, along with all the information.
What kind of leak is this? The YouTuber TheGamingRevolution, known for reliably leaking information about Modern Warfare, published a video on February 13.
For the first time, gameplay of Warzone is shown, the Battle Royale of the new CoD. We have already reported on this, however, the video was no longer available at that time.
We have embedded the video here:
Why was the video deleted? The leak was taken down shortly after the video was published. The reason was a copyright violation asserted by Activision Blizzard against the video.
Now the video has reappeared – coincidentally just after the playlist update on March 3, when many players actually expected new information about the Battle Royale.
Leak deleted – now back
This is what the video shows: In the leak video, the training mode of Warzone is shown, where the mode and the special resource “Plunder” is explained. Plunder serves as a resource with which players can purchase perks, killstreaks and equipment.
New information includes that there are also weapons in different quality tiers. TheGamingRevolution finds a “legendary Polytope M4A1”. The legendary weapons are apparently better equipped and generally stronger than weapons with other quality tiers. It seems that the stronger weapons are directly equipped with blueprints .
Gameplay of the Battle Royale itself is not yet visible. The YouTuber is solely in the training mode, where the only opponents are metal displays. He has no opposing players.
Why is the video back now? After no official information about Warzone came on March 3, many fans are surprised that the video has reappeared. There are several circumstances that could be the reason:
- YouTube decided in favor of TheGamingRevolution and republished the video
- Warzone is coming soon and Activision sees no reason to keep deleting leaks
- some YouTube users suspect that an embargo has fallen and that the information can now be published
Many had previously held March 3 as a reference for more information – among other things due to a bug. This is a sign for some that it could have been an embargo. Conversely, there are no other sources with such information.
TheGamingRevolution himself has not yet commented on the subject. Therefore, there is still no official statement. However, some YouTube users are confident that an embargo has fallen, as the coincidence with March 3 is too significant.
Speculations about the release of Warzone
When will more info come? Many players were disappointed that no new information about Warzone came on March 3. Now March 10 is under discussion. The two dates have been speculated for a while as the days for an official announcement.
A leak from February even speaks of a release on March 10 and some players think it is possible that the developers will just “suddenly” bring the mode into the game.
The hype around the BR is currently declining, which is also reflected in the community’s reaction (via reddit). Some players are annoyed that no more information is coming, while others are annoyed that these players are complaining.
Either way, the developers are under some pressure to publish official information soon to maintain the hype and not upset players – even though they themselves are not responsible for the suspense. All the information we already have about Warzone can be found here:
