The makers of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare & the Battle Royale Warzone announced their new playlist update. This week there is a completely new mode and BR players will get their regular BR-4 back. MeinMMO shows you what else is coming this week.
What’s going on in CoD? So you don’t have to keep playing the same modes, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the in-house Battle Royale Warzone regularly update their playlists. This brings new or different modes into the rotation and offers variety.
This week, the developers at Infinity Ward also released the “Weekly Briefing” on the Activision Blog, giving a first look at the update this week.
Included is a hardcore survival mode for multiplayer, and the BR-4 is returning for Warzone players, after the mode had to make way for the realism-4. Once the new playlists are live, you’ll find them here in the article on MeinMMO.
Update: June 23 20:10 – The new playlist is live:
- Modern Warfare
- Realism Moshpit
- Ground War on Foot
- Gunfight Plans
- Camps
- All or Nothing
- Confrontation
- Warzone
- Team Rumble
- Plunder 4
- BR-4
- BR-3
- BR-2
- BR-Solo
Playlist update of June 23 brings “All or Nothing” and BR-4 back
When does the update come? The developers rarely reveal exactly when the update starts in the briefing. Based on experience, it either starts tonight (Tuesday, June 23, at 7 PM) or tomorrow morning (Wednesday, June 24, at 8 AM).
What’s available for regular multiplayer? Here you get a brand new mode – “All or Nothing”. This special “Free-for-All” mode was only available in MW3 and Infinite Warfare so far.
There, you start completely without bullets in the magazine. Instead, you have a few knives available as melee or throwing weapons. If you get kills, you can earn an advantage and loot bullets. Whoever has 20 kills in the end wins the match.
The playlist refresh offers even more action for regular MP. So a “Chaos 10vs10” was announced. A moshpit that mixes traditional 6vs6 maps with some modes and uses 20, instead of 12 soldiers to compete against each other. A strong mode to unlock one of the 12 weapons that you can only obtain through missions.
Furthermore, you will see an exciting form of 3vs3 gunfights. Instead of going at each other in TDMs, you will play this week various modes of the “Modern Warfare” multiplayer in gunfight on the tiny maps.
As a final adjustment of the playlist, the blog post mentions an infantry ground war. Here you play the large maps of the “Ground War” mode without stationary tanks.
What’s new for Warzone? Here the recently introduced realism mode will probably disappear again. Some players complained that they could no longer play the regular BR-4 – IW seems to be drawing the conclusion from this. In the realism BR, you had fewer visual aids. Weapons lying around were harder to see, the mini-map was disabled, and contracts were not marked on the map.
With the update, you’ll get the 4er BR back, and the other regular BR modes will remain – so solo, duo, and trio. The crazy 50vs50 rumble will also remain available.
Fans of the second Warzone mode “Plunder” will also get their money’s worth. The blog post promises both plunder modes, “Plunder” and “Blood Money”, as 4er modes for this week.
What else is happening with CoD this week? The start of Season 4 is now almost 2 weeks ago, and the stirred-up dust is slowly settling. Nevertheless, the outlook for an exciting “Call of Duty” time looks good.
The Season 4 roadmap is packed, and after a few new statements from a developer about the Warzone map, I can’t wait to see what happens here in the future.
However, there are already problems on the cheater front. With a legal controller adapter, players can create almost recoil-free weapons and are difficult to spot. How the developers at Infinity Ward will respond to the latest wave of cheaters remains to be seen.
