Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0

“Warzone 2.0 refines the original formula with fresh updates like a revamped Gulag and expanded vehicle options, enhancing the overall experience. However, despite these improvements, it remains a cautious iteration rather than a true innovation, leaving some players wanting more groundbreaking changes.”

“Call of Duty Warzone 2.0's revamp is reinvigorating thanks to the social fun of proximity chat and the excellent new DMZ extraction mode.”

“Warzone 2.0 is not the battle royale revolution, but probably no one expected it to be. It is the right evolution of the mass phenomenon that was the first chapter, innovating some mechanics but not radically changing the game. We particularly liked the change to loadouts making matches more competitive by limiting the various player perks. It slightly increases the difficulty in matches however decreases too much in the gulag allowing potentially all 4 players to save themselves. On the other hand, we find all the other changes, including the map, very interesting, not deviating too much from the good foundations of Warzone in 2019. It will therefore remain to be seen whether it will be able to have the gigantic impact of its predecessor or whether the audience is now saturated with Warzone as well, although in our opinion it has the potential to remain in the hearts of old and new users alike.”

“Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a free-to-play shooter that innovates and renews the gaming experience of the previous chapter, adding many new features and changes especially focused on gameplay. The result is certainly good, even if it lacks in originality.”

“Warzone 2.0 is every bit the sequel you hoped it would be. While minor improvements could still be useful, Al Mazrah is arguably the best map to ever grace the Call of Duty battle royale experience. The tactical pacing is a welcome change, DMZ is a revelation for the casual space, and it's all built on the best gunplay in first-person shooters. Infinity Ward has knocked it out of the park.”

“Warzone 2.0 tries to cater to a wider audience by borrowing ideas from its competition, but it delivers a hodgepodge of ideas that seems to forget what made the original Warzone so iconic.”

“Overall, Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 is a better product than its predecessor in almost every way.”

“The heights of Warzone 2’s combat and stunning map design are held down by a rocky launch rife with issues.”

“It appears Warzone 2 is off to a very solid start. It’s worth mentioning there are some technical issues, with Al Mazrah’s huge map taking a little while to load, and the occasional stuttering (mainly on PC), but all-in-all, it feels more stable than Warzone 1 did during its rougher periods. Al Mazrah might just be 2023’s hottest destination if this early taste is anything to go by.”

“New additions are fresh for the battle royale, while overhauls to some of Warzone classic features feels like a step backwards.”

“Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0's battle royale is an iterative upgrade. If you enjoyed the original Warzone, you'll enjoy the new one. The DMZ mode, on the other hand, is new, and a lot of fun thanks to the fact that you're never sure if you're going to run into another player as you try and complete your own objectives.”

“It is early days for Warzone 2.0 and I imagine this early phase will be all about listening to the community and engaging in their feedback. I do have some things I’d love to see changed or altered over time, but the gameplay loop is absolutely perfect for me. It feels less about players constantly rushing for loadouts and more about fighting with a mixture of what you can find on the ground.”

“Infinity Ward has succeeded in bringing all the elements which made Warzone one of the best Battle Royale games and has used it to build yet a more refined experience with Warzone 2.0, despite some bugs here and there, Warzone 2 is the definitive Free Battle Royale experience you would want to dive into and a masterfully crafted game.”
