It’s been a good year for Call of Duty. Modern Warfare II is now Activision’s most successful CoD launch of all-time and fans also seem to be enjoying Warzone 2.0. The new proximity chat in particular is proving to be very popular and if you’re anything like me, I’m sure your TikTok FYP is full of creative ways in which people have used it. One player even achieved a zero kill win by roleplaying as an Uber driver.
Warzone 2.0’s main downside is its slightly underwhelming DMZ mode. Inspired by Escape from Tarkov, the mode hasn’t impressed all players - and some are even paying to avoid playing it. The closure of the original Warzone marked the end of an era. The good news is that two weeks later, it is officially back - but Warzone will never truly be the same.
Take a look at Modern Warfare II’s take on the iconic ‘All Ghillied Up’ mission.
As promised, Warzone is back online and available to play but a number of changes have been made to this iconic battle royale. Warzone now only has one available map, Caldera. As reported by Dexerto, fan-favourites like Rebirth Island and Fortune’s Keep are well and truly gone. There are no map playlists. It is simply just Caldera, sigh.
Solo and Quads options remain, but that’s quite literally it. Warzone is a shell of its former self. There’s no battle pass, no shop content - and that’s unlikely to change. We can’t be totally surprised. Activision are clearly going to be focusing all their efforts on Warzone 2.0 but for those of us who spent years enjoying the original Warzone, it's sad to see it like this.

Still, at least Warzone still exists. I should imagine its player count will stay pretty low given the lack of variety in the game but hey, if we truly need a dose of nostalgia from time to time, it’s there to welcome us home.
