News - The Modern Warfare 3 Warzone Update, Download & Overhaul
You will also be able to experience those maps in a new light thanks to the Modern Warfare 3 overhaul coming to War Zone, so seeing how the movement changes will affect gameplay on all of these maps has me beyond excited. It'll create new gameplay opportunities. And a ton of new clips and we'll just reinvent war zone alt together in a way that people are going to be happy about right a lot of folks out there may be happy with the maps we currently have in war zone whether it's vond asika even alaza, or ersan eventually but I think when it comes to that movement overhaul, that'll change things for the better in ways that people out there are really going to enjoy but for those that miss doing the stim Boost over on rebirth Island you'll be able to do that again in just a matter of months the stim Boost is coming back into war zone with season 1 and in terms of game modes it'll be playable, we of course will have Battle Royale Resurgence and plunder.
The removal of al mazrah in season 1 explained
I believe it's day one of season 1; you'll be able to see all those modes across all of our different war zone maps. It's still unclear as of right now how Resurgence timers are going to work; we're going to have a rotation eventually between the four maps we're talking about: Vond Lasika, Rebirth, and Fortunes.
Or will Asika and Vondo be cycled out eventually? That's a little unknown right now, but Trar is apparently working on the next chapter of rank play for War Zone that'll be coming out in early 2024, an update probably with the launch of season 2 if I had to guess now something that didn't really get shown off too much in the gameplay showcase that cot next is the drivable train that will be coming to the new ukan.
The moving point of interest is a train in warzone
Experience it's being described as a moving point of interest that has a UAV Tower and buy station, on it and you can control where it goes around the map meaning that you can actually go to the back of the train or the front and change its trajectory on the track so if the circle is closing in and you're about to be cut off from using the train you can move the train elsewhere change its direction, and keep riding it as long as you like so really looking forward to how this moving train could affect some final circles and some other endgame type of footage that you'll be seeing inside of War Zone this year now like I said earlier in the article this isn't war zone 3.0 , it's not a fresh start by any means but a massive expansion and overhaul to the current iteration of war zone now they dropped a 2.0 label from war zone for whatever reason maybe to avoid confusion.
They also shut down War Zone Calera not too long ago; I think it was at the end of September. So now that we just have Call of Duty War Zone, it's probably going to be the definitive and only war zone moving forward, so any major update or overhaul we get will just be added to the current application.
They probably won't ever do a war zone 3.0 to avoid the issues that we saw last year, but some really cool features that make it seem like a war zone 3 include the following: we have weapon and loot Rarity coming back; a big backpack update bit of an expansion to where now you can have dedicated ammo slots next to your regular loot blue armor plates are coming in; all of War Zone's current quality of life features will be carried directly into Zikan, day one, including 150.
In the core health that we have inside of Modern Warfare 3, there will be improved pacing with circle closing time and size rebalancing. Now in terms of gas mask you can now manually equip them inside of War Zone which something that we had at the end of War Zone caldera's life cycle it's probably one of the last quality of life changes that just didn't make its way into war zone 2.0, yet tear gas grenades can be countered with gas mask and of course one of my favorite features players will always have a pistol while swimming so regardless what weapons you're holding when you jump into the water you'll have a pistol right they'll probably be exploits found in the future allowing people to have Mule Kick inside of War Zone being able to bring that pistol into the regular load out as well hopefully it doesn't happen cuz that'll be unfortunate, but at least for the water that's going to really improve a lot of final circles that force you to swim now contracts will be easier to find with new rewards and even a new Bounty, a wealth of smaller changes will be featured across the board inside a war zone moving forward and there will be a massive and I mean a massive drop of season 1 patch notes prior to the launch of the Modern Warfare 3 integration.
They did tease the patch notes quite a bit, saying that it's probably one of the biggest sets of patches we've ever seen for Call of Duty.
How perks & mw3 gear will work in warzone season 1
Now I do want to clarify perks inside of the new war zone update, so there has been some confusion about how the gear is going to be implemented for Modern Warfare 3, and there was some clarification provided during the Kex broadcast. That wasn't really mentioned elsewhere in any blog post but essentially, some of the perk gear from Modern Warfare 3 will be making their way into war zone but not all of the gear we currently have perk packages inside of war zone and those are here to stay and perk packages will still drop from enemies that you kill but there will be gear that you can find around the environment that will also give you perks like we have in Modern Warfare 3 but it's unclear, how much we're going to be seeing of that and whether or not enemies can actually drop the gear when you kill them that hasn't really been clarified but it just was confirmed the perk packages are here to stay as well as some gear from MW3.
The new perks do include shroud dropping, a smoke grenade going down, eradiating, moving faster, and taking less damage to gas. We also have Resolute. Increases movement speed when damage is done; ghosts will now require movement to activate; combat Scout is back, which will ping an enemy when hit with the bullets.
There's also the addition of brand new characters that have yet to be revealed but are likely to be in the season 1 patch notes.
The focus of warzone moving forward.
Now something worth remembering is that the focus of the war zone is going to be really interesting this time around. It seems like with War Zone 2 through the MW2 life cycle, they were busy playing catch-up, introducing all the new features, or reintroducing them. I should say all the cool features that vanguards war zone integration ended with right with the end of Caldera.
