What is Warzone? The free-to-play battle royale from “Call of Duty” combines the polished CoD gunplay with the BR genre and is the second CoD BR after “Blackout” from “CoD: Black Ops 4”.
The Warzone plays quickly but is easy to access. Weapons and equipment are usually easy to find, and you even start with a pistol, so the action can begin immediately after landing. The respawn options are significantly better here than in other battle royales, making it even faster-paced.
In Warzone, players can fight for their first respawn after their first death in a gulag with other “dead” players. Later, teammates can buy you back into the game with in-game money. This keeps the action consistently high, as there are still plenty of opponents even in the mid and endgame.
What is the current state of the game? Warzone is not only among the top games in the BR genre for MeinMMO readers. Shooter fans play it daily in the thousands, ensuring well-filled servers. So you don’t have to wait long for a match. In July 2020, according to Twitch Tracker, the game ranked 5th on the top list with an average of 118,000 viewers.
What makes Warzone so special? The special features of Warzone include:
- High respawn rate
- Gulag for the fight for the first respawn
- Top gunplay thanks to CoD mechanics
- Regularly new modes
- Alternative mode “Plunder”
Who is the battle royale suitable for? If you are looking for a BR that focuses on realistic graphics and refined gunplay, Warzone is the right choice for you. All the weapon expertise of the CoD franchise is available for free with Warzone, and it plays really well.
With regularly changing modes, you’ll always have something new to do, and thanks to random “in-match events,” every match can suddenly gain a new dynamic. Together with the great options to overcome your own death and respawn, you get a robust battle royale that every fan of the genre should try out.
