Call of Duty had a linear system with the introduction of the Battle Pass. You leveled up and could earn items at each level. Now, with Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, the system will change and it strongly resembles Fortnite.
What will change? Anyone who has been playing since Modern Warfare (2019) and Warzone knows that the Battle Pass was unlocked linearly. Players could fight through 100 levels consecutively and had to invest time until they could get their desired item. There were no shortcuts, and levels could not be skipped without real money.
With Season 1 in MW2 and Warzone 2, players are now supposed to get more control over what is unlocked in the Battle Pass. If you particularly like an item, you don’t have to wait until you reach a certain level. You can decide for yourself when you unlock something, and we will show you how this works.
You can decide what you want to unlock
Where does the system come from? The system has existed in Fortnite since June 8, 2021, in Season 7 Chapter 2. Players can now unlock their desired items early in the form of Battle Pass stars. The same system is now to be implemented in MW2 and Warzone 2.
How does the new system work? The new system for the CoD Battle Pass is supposed to work almost identically to that of Fortnite. Here’s how it will be structured:
- Your BP overview is no longer a linear line, but a map with different sectors
- Each map will have 20 sectors
- Each sector has a total of 5 items that can be unlocked
- Each map will have 20 sectors
- Sectors can be unlocked by earning so-called “Battle Token Tier Skips”
- These will likely be earned by leveling up.
- Battle Token Tier Skips are then used to unlock neighboring sectors or to purchase items in already unlocked sectors.
This new system is supposed to give players a better chance to unlock the items they really want. More freedom and less pressure for the grind.
Is there a catch? The BP system in Fortnite is not as unrestricted as Epic Games has presented it. Players can unlock the things they want in Fortnite, but only to a certain degree. In Fortnite, the sectors, as they are called for MW2, are divided into pages.
If you want a skin on page 6 now, you can’t get it, even if you have the necessary Battle Pass stars. You must first have unlocked a certain number of items before you can unlock other pages and items. Basically, the system offers more freedom, yes, but to earn the level 100 skin in Fortnite, you also have to reach level 100 in the end.
Basically, this freedom is entangled in smaller restrictions, and we believe that CoD will adopt this as well to keep you engaged longer.
Do you believe that the new Battle Pass system is better and finally what CoD needed? Feel free to leave us a comment!
