(Streaming till 600 subs) Warzone / Call of Duty Modern Warfare


(Streaming till 600 subs) Warzone / Call of Duty Modern Warfare… Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play battle royale video game released on March 10, 2020, for Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC. The game is a part of the 2019 title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare but does not require purchase of it. Warzone was developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software and published by Activision. Warzone allows online multiplayer combat among 150 players set in the fictional city of Verdansk, which is loosely based on Donetsk city in Eastern Ukraine,[2] on day 96 of Operation: Rapid Sunder. The game features both cross-platform play and cross-platform progression between both games.

The game features two main modes: Plunder and Battle Royale. Warzone introduces a new in-game currency system called “Cash” which is used at “Buy Stations” in and around Verdansk. “Loadout” drops are an example of where Cash can be traded for limited access to players’ custom classes (which are shared with Modern Warfare’s standard modes). Players may also use Cash to purchase items such as “killstreaks” and gas masks. At launch, Warzone allowed a squad capacity of three. A solo mode was added to Warzone a week later on March 17, 2020. Four player Quads were added to the game on April 8, 2020 as part of the Season 3 update. 
On May 5, 2020, Activision announced that Warzone had surpassed over 60 million downloads in the first two months.
Game modes
Warzone features two primary game modes: Battle Royale and Plunder.[6] It is the second main battle royale installment in the Call of Duty franchise, following the “Blackout” mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4 (2018). Warzone differs from Black Ops 4 by reducing reliance on equipable gadgets and instead encouraging the accumulation of a new in-game currency called Cash.[6] Warzone supports up to 150 players in a single match, which exceeds the typical size of 100 players seen in other battle royale titles.[7]

The Battle Royale mode is similar to other titles in the genre where players compete in a continuously shrinking map to be the last player remaining. Players parachute onto a large game map, where they encounter other players. As the game progresses and players are eliminated, the playable area shrinks forcing the remaining players into tighter spaces. In Warzone, the non-playable areas become contaminated with a green gas that depletes health and eventually kills the player if they do not return to the safe playable area.[6] Unlike other titles, Warzone introduces a new respawn mechanic, a greater emphasis on vehicles, and a new in-game currency mechanic. Parachuting is unrestricted, with the player being allowed to open and cut their parachute, an unlimited number times, while in air. The game mode at launch supports squads of up to three players (trios) with an option to disable squad filling; a limited-time variation is made available for solo players only, and Infinity Ward have mentioned testing of various other squad number limits. In the season 3 update, the game modes have been updated to four game modes, including the new BR Quads, the traditional trios, the solos mode and a slightly tweaked Plunder mode that added support four-player squads. Plunder duos were added on April 20, 2020.

Character death in Battle Royale does not necessarily translate to player defeat like in other titles. Instead, the mode offers a respawn mechanic which players can take advantage of in various ways. Players who are killed are transported to the “Gulag”, where they engage in one-on-one combat with another defeated player, with both players being given same weaponry. The winner of this combat is respawned into the game. Other methods of respawn are available using the in-game currency system. Players may use the in-game currency to purchase respawn tokens for themselves or for other players should they not be revived by the Gulag mechanic.[8]

In the Plunder mode,[9] teams have to search for stacks of Cash scattered around the map to accumulate $1 million. Once found, the game goes into overtime, multiplying all Cash sums by 1.5. The team who has gathered the most money when the clock runs out is declared the winner. Players respawn automatically in this gamemode.
