The latestCall of Duty: Warzone 2trailer kicks things off by showcasing the return ofResurgence taking place on Ashika Island. The news is a welcomed one to many fans, as Resurgence is a faster paced mode that allows respawning as long as at least 1 member of the squad is alive. In addition, the trailer also confirms the arrival of ranked multiplayer, something the community has been asking for quite a while. Finally, the Gulag is moving back to the traditional 1v1 setup, removing the 2v2 feature which arrived withWarzone 2.
Multiplayer also got a little love, though based on the trailer comments, many fans are upset that Infinity Ward seems to have primarily turned its attention toCall of Duty: Warzoneand DMZ. Inside of Season 2, the 6v6 map Dome is arriving along with Al Malik International as a Battle Map. Gun Game and Infected are also making their return as new game modes, though that seems to be largely the extent of the multiplayer side of the update.
The third pillar of this update centered on the popular DMZ mode, though the community seems torn overall. As previously revealed,Season 2 is completely refreshing the DMZ mode, completely wiping everyone’s progress as if it never happened. While disappointing for many, the reason for this wipe is so Infinity Ward could refresh the experience with a new map, balancing, enemies, and missions to complete for new rewards.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
