The reveal of Call of Duty: Vanguard in Battle Royale Warzone is done, and many details about the latest CoD are now known.

With a large live event, the new Call of Duty: Vanguard was introduced in Warzone, heralding the next CoD generation. On November 5, the World War action starts, and Warzone fans should keep a close eye on this date.

Even though Vanguard launches with over 20 maps, Warzone is not left behind and aims to introduce a new map and a new anti-cheat system at release. Essentially exactly what many players have been wishing and demanding for a long time. We will show you what we know so far.
Warzone gets anti-cheat system from Vanguard
What is there to know about the cheat system? For many players currently the biggest problem in Warzone: cheaters, hackers, deceivers. There is hardly a Warzone player with more than a few dozen hours of gameplay who has not encountered one of the brazen cheaters who maraud around the map with their wallhacks and aimbots. In our server region, the problem may not be as severe as in North America, but even in our latitudes, a lot of cheaters are on the loose.
If the developers have their way, this unwanted chapter in the history of Warzone could come to an end with the release of Vanguard. Vanguard has a new anti-cheat system, and Warzone is also expected to benefit from the new technology.
Currently, there are not many official details about it. However, leaks suggest that the new system took over a year to develop and could be implemented together with a new Warzone map (via Twitter). In the CoD blog about the reveal, the developers state that the new anti-cheat system will go live a few weeks after the release of Vanguard.
This could be a turning point for Warzone, which is suffering from the cheat plague. How it all unfolds in the end remains to be seen. But the outlook on a new anti-cheat system is a positive one.
New map at the release of Vanguard – big or small?
What is there to know about the map? It is already certain: Warzone will get a new map related to the World War setting of Vanguard. However, much more official information is not yet known.
If it goes like last year with Cold War, Vanguard will have a “season-free” period of almost a month after the release, during which there is no new battle pass and no current season. Season 1 could then start in early December and bring the new map to Warzone. It is also unclear whether it will be a Verdansk-sized map or if the smaller Rebirth Island will be replaced.
However, the leaker “Tom Henderson” might already have an answer on Twitter. According to Henderson, the new map will come directly with the release of Vanguard and replace the large Verdansk with a WW2 adventure:
Warzone likely connects with Vanguard just like it did with Cold War
What about post-launch content? Vanguard will offer a calendar full of exciting post-launch content together with Warzone, including:
- new modes
- new playlists
- temporarily limited events
- seasonal events
- community celebrations
- and more
Everything will run similarly to last year with Cold War. Warzone and Vanguard will “merge” and share the seasons after the transition. The theme in Warzone shifts from Cold War to the World War setting, and content from the battle pass and cosmetics will work in both CoDs. Additionally, the weapons from Vanguard will also make their way into the battle royale.
Old cosmetic content from Cold War and Modern Warfare will still remain in the game and usable in Warzone as well. With the first season of Vanguard, the life cycle of Cold War will likely end.
What can currently only be speculated: What happens to the season ranks? With Cold War, there was a new system that increased the maximum prestige rank in each season and offered more ranks than ever before. Whether there will be a complete reset to 0 or if the prestige ranks will remain is still uncertain.
Call of Duty and Warzone are evolving together and want to march hand in hand towards the future. Anti-cheat and a new large map are at the top of the wishlist for many in the community.
But how about you? Do you think that Warzone has its best times with Vanguard still ahead, or has too much already happened for you to give the battle royale another chance? Feel free to discuss with us in the comments on MeinMMO.
