Whether you’re a COD Warzone fan or looking to get your hands on it, you’ll want to keep up with the latest COD Warzone news. You’ll want to keep an eye on several topics, such as release date, FOV slider, and Season 5 trailers.
Release date
During a Call of Duty Next broadcast, Infinity Ward’s Stephanie Snowden confirmed the new DMZ mode. It will feature the same world and mechanics but will be set in a new location.
The mode will also have the same operators but will work differently. A number of new features are also coming with the game.
Call of Duty Warzone 2 will be released on November 16, 2022. The game will be available on all platforms, including Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
Warzone 2.0 will also be available on iOS and Android devices. Activision still needs to confirm a release date for the mobile version. Still, it’s likely to be released in January or March 2023. This will likely be a free-to-play game.
Warzone 2 will feature aquatic combat. It will also feature new mechanics and a new sandbox mode. The game will also have new weapon physics and movement options. This will give players more freedom to explore and interact with the environment.
Infinity Ward also confirmed that Warzone will not carry over any skins or unlocks from the game’s original version. However, players can still purchase custom loadouts with in-game cash from Shops.
Warzone will also feature an enhanced Buy Station. This will allow players to sell and buy mission-critical gear and equipment. It will also enable players to buy back squadmates who are killed. The new system is being designed based on community feedback and will make the game easier to play.
Warzone will also be available to players every week. This means that players will have access to a new playlist every week.
FOV slider
Adding a FOV slider to COD Warzone is something fans have been waiting for since the first version was released. Adding a slider is a good idea for many reasons, but one of the most important is that it helps players see more of their surroundings.
In addition to seeing more of their surroundings, players can also track enemy hitboxes more easily. High FOV values will also cause FPS drops and stuttering. While this may not seem like a big deal, it can be an issue for players who struggle with their system’s performance.
Adding a FOV slider to COD: Warzone will take a lot of work. In fact, it has been heavily debated over the years. Raven Software has been avoiding adding the feature because of performance concerns. They also claim that adding a part will discourage console players from playing.
On the other hand, the FOV slider is something console players have been asking for for years. The feature is currently only available on PC. However, it will be coming to consoles shortly.
The FOV slider will also be featured in the upcoming COD: Vanguard. It will be one of the most valuable features of the game. Unlike the PC version, the console version will have a maximum FOV of 120 degrees. The maximum value will vary depending on the size of the screen.
Adding a FOV slider will also be a good idea for PC gamers. There are a few things to remember, though. First, players must ensure that their systems can handle a wider field of view. Second, they will need to experiment with the FOV slider to see how it will affect their gameplay.
Weapons
Whether you are a veteran or a newcomer to the Warzone experience, a few weapon categories will help you choose the right weapon for your needs. The first is the assault rifle category, which offers the most comprehensive range of firearms. You can use this weapon in almost any combat situation.
Another weapon category is the launcher, which is excellent for taking down vehicles. This category includes the RPG-7, an explosive weapon that can knock down enemies flat in a small area. It also deals solid damage to all cars in the Warzone.
The LMG category offers a high capacity and severe damage, which can be helpful in close-quarters battles. It also lacks damage drop-off, making it a good starting weapon.
Handguns have fast handling and mobility and can help speed up your run around the map. They are reliable if your primary weapon is out of ammo.
Assault rifles have a fast fire rate that makes hitting targets easier. They also chamber the most powerful bullets in the Warzone. These weapons are also very effective with a suppressor.
SMGs are small, fully-automatic rifles that are more effective in close-range battles. They are also used in tandem with vehicles. Some Operators prefer them. However, you may find them too bulky for an elite Operator.
There are also several melee weapons, but they are not used much in Warzone. They can be helpful in confusing enemies at all experience levels. However, they are scarce in Supply Caches and Loadout Drops.
The Armory menu provides blueprints for many of the weapons in the game, which will help you customize them. You can also use stickers and camo to give them a unique look.
Matchmaking
Whether or not you have ever played Call of Duty: Warzone, you probably have heard of its skill-based matchmaking (SBMM). It’s used by developers and publishers to ensure that players play against players of similar skill levels. This ensures that players are challenged in their matches while protecting them with disabilities.
There have been a lot of debates and opinions surrounding SBMM. Some believe that it unfairly punishes players. However, it’s also true that it should protect new players.
Skill-based matchmaking works by filling multiplayer lobbies with players of similar skill levels. The algorithm interprets the data to change the strength of the hall.
A lobby’s Kill/Death Ratio (K/D) correlates with the players’ skill in that lobby. Usually, the average K/D of an entry will be 1.1. This means that players with an above-average K/D will be placed in a better-performing hall.
Some players have complained that SBMM unfairly punishes players with above-average K/Ds. This is an issue with both amateurs and professionals.
Some players also complain that SBMM prioritizes SBMM over a connection. They say that SBMM uses SBMM’s algorithm over their relationship. These complaints have caused the matchmaking system in Warzone to become more choosy. The ranking system isn’t visible but hinges on the player’s average K/D.
Warzone’s matchmaking system also seems to ignore the players’ desire to play with friends. Players who play a string of bad games will find themselves in Bronze lobbies. However, using various strategies, they can also find it easier to get into more accessible entries.
While there are many arguments surrounding SBMM, it’s important to remember that it is a sound system. It should ensure that players face players of similar skill levels and that matches are fair.
Season 5 trailers
Earlier this week, Activision dropped a cinematic trailer for Call of Duty: Warzone and Black Ops Cold War Season 5. The trailer introduces some of the new features and weapons that will be coming to the game. It also teases some new maps that will be included in the upcoming content update.
The trailer also introduces a new character that will be coming to the game. This character is a hacker who is trying to disrupt the Verdansk region.
In addition to this new character, the trailer also teases new maps for Warzone. These maps will include Verdansk International Airport, the Livestock map, and a 6v6 multiplayer map called Suldal Harbor.
The trailer also shows a new weapon called EM1, an energy rifle from Call of Duty Advanced Warfare. This gun uses a custom battery solution that works well for long-range combat.
This is the first energy rifle to be included in Warzone. Still, it will need a cooling period to work correctly. The gun can be used in both traditional and online multiplayer.
Activision also released the official trailer for Season 5’s Battle Pass. The trailer is a little over two minutes long and features a TEC-9 SMG and blueprints for the new assault rifle.
The trailer also introduces a unique character joining the game later in the season. This character is known as Soap MacTavish. This character has been a big question in the Warzone community since early on.
During Warzone Season 5, new weapons, operators, and maps are expected to be added to the game. Players can expect to see time-jumping features in the game. It is also likely to have new Limited Time Modes.
