Call of Duty Modern Warfare II Showcase: Warzone 2 release date, equivalent to Escape from Tarkov, Call of Duty Warzone Mobile
Yuriy SheremetOn September 15, a showcase from Activision took place. All attention at the presentation was devoted to the main flagship of the studio - Call of Duty.
The lion's share of the show was dedicated to the battle royale mode in CoD - Warzone. Of the total timing of 5 hours, the battle piano was given over 15 minutes, and what was said - in the squeeze below.
release date
The main announcement of the evening in the context of the royal battle was the date of its release. Warzone 2 will be available to players on PC, PS5, PS4, Xbox Series on November 16th.
The release date of Warzone 2 was not limited. Activision told about much more.
New map
Actions in Warzone 2 will take place on the map of Al Mazra. Responsible for the production of Infinity Ward, who have been working on it since 2020.
The veil of secrets around Al-Mazra has not completely subsided: we will see a detailed overview of locations and places of interest closer to the release of the game. What is clear now is the size of the setting - the new map will be “giant”: at the start, players will have 17 locations to explore, but as the game develops, there can only be more of them, as was the case with the original Warzone.

New mode - DMZ. With a touch of Escape from Tarkov
Another Warzone innovation coming to Warzone 2 is a new mode dubbed DMZ. It is an analogue of Escape from Tarkov.
Some locations in Al Mazra will be controlled by NPCs. According to the law of the genre, in such places, players will find especially valuable loot and, of course, skirmishes.
The goal of the players is to stay alive and evacuate, which gives the impression that such locations will be closed, and actions inside the original PvP hubs will be limited in time. However, they promised to tell about DMZ Activision with Infinity Ward separately.
New Warzone 2 Mechanic - Swimming
The second part of Warzone will introduce players to the experience of the original with improvements to some aspects of the game. It is expected that Warzone 2 will feature new types of weapons, vehicles and mechanics that were not in the first part of the royal battle. The main one is swimming.
Swimming. In Warzone 2, players will be given the opportunity to swim and dive under water, which will significantly affect the gameplay: now there will be much more room for maneuver and variety in survival tactics. Taking advantage of the improved water physics in CoD: Modern Warfare II, Warzone 2 will feature the unique ballistics of shooting at targets underwater and directly between players at depth.
Along with water activities, boats will appear in the game. Al-Mazra is rich in "water" biomes, and therefore this type of transport will not be superfluous when exploring the area.
New Warzone 2 Mechanic – “Separate Circles”
Another tangible gameplay change in Warzone 2 is the updated circle-narrowing mechanic. It will be noticeable only in the endgame.
Toward the end of the match, the shrinking circles will start splitting into multiple areas in a random order. Also randomly the circles will be connected.
New Mechanics - Third Person View
The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II multiplayer trailer showed a new mechanic for the series - a third-person view. It will definitely be available in the multiplayer mode of the main "castle", which suggests its possible appearance in multiplayer.
New Gulag
The mechanics of the “second chance” in Warzone 2 will change. At its core, the essence is the same - to get out alive from a firefight in a small arena, but adjusted for the number of combatants: now the battles after the first death on Al-Mazra will be held in a 2v2 format
Call of Duty Mobile Warzone
The big announcement of the evening was the showing of Call of Duty Mobile Warzone. PUBG 's rival for the player's affection will be released on iOS and Android in 2023.
The authors of Call of Duty Mobile promise large-scale battles for 120 players. More details sometime later.
Slightly smaller changes were additions to the physics of damage to vehicles and the environment, the expansion of moving (the ability to climb ledges, jump on car roofs, lean out of car windows, etc.), updates to the available arsenal of weapons, and so on. We look forward to more details on Warzone 2 and the future of the Modern Warfare series in the next 2 months.
