    No need to go overboard: Warzone 2.0 is an excellent sequel that builds on the very good foundations of its predecessor. Above all, this is not a simple update. The new battle royale opts for a more tactical and "realistic" approach to loot, playing perfectly in concert with other new features (proximity chat, areas with several circles, bases guarded by AI, etc.). As a result, the experience is renewed and still very effective, thanks to a great game engine and top-notch shooting sensations. Finally, we just have a few reservations about artificial intelligence, which should be reviewed, especially given its new importance in games, and for the famous DMZ mode, which still lacks a lot of challenges at the moment. For the rest, it's free and it's an excellent game. Let's go!

    Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a free-to-play shooter that innovates and renews the gaming experience of the previous chapter, adding many new features and changes especially focused on gameplay. The result is certainly good, even if it lacks in originality.

    Warzone 2.0 is the necessary modernization of the still entertaining Battle Royale variant of Call of Duty. DMZ as an extraction mode is a successful extension.
  4. Aside from the perspiration provided by an initial landing at a crowded point of interest, or the jaw-clenching moments of the final circle, the pace of play is deliberate, allowing players to think, look around and take advantage of the battleground in clever and effective ways.

    Warzone 2 comes out swinging with the strongest map yet, as Al Mazrah's design is both visually appealing and well-balanced to encourage more moment-to-moment action and player movement. The sequel tosses in enough new features and changes to make gameplay feel fresh and give a dramatic change to the game's pace to set Warzone 2 apart from the original, and these battle royale matches are still a blast, despite the setbacks to classic features. Packaged with DMZ, which feels like a sandbox hit, free-to-play Call of Duty players have so many more ways to jump into the action and level up this year.

    It appears Warzone 2 is off to a very solid start. It’s worth mentioning there are some technical issues, with Al Mazrah’s huge map taking a little while to load, and the occasional stuttering (mainly on PC), but all-in-all, it feels more stable than Warzone 1 did during its rougher periods. Al Mazrah might just be 2023’s hottest destination if this early taste is anything to go by.

    Warzone 2.0 tries to cater to a wider audience by borrowing ideas from its competition, but it delivers a hodgepodge of ideas that seems to forget what made the original Warzone so iconic.

    Warzone 2 is no cap better than the 1st Warzone. Also the reason why games like Apex and OW2 are dying. Straight up 10/10.

    THIS IS A REVIEW FOR DMZ AS I DO NOT PLAY WARZONE.

    If you're Tarkov fan you will enjoy DMZ as it's a lot more forgiving and can be a lot of fun with a coordinated squad or even SOLO if you like a challenge.

    It's in BETA so crashes, bugs, and AI balance are it's biggest issue so far, but what is there to play is something that has a TON of potential. Since DMZ's release it's all I really play on MW2 anymore. It has a very "1 more run" type of feel as the risk and rewards are all dialed up to 11 and you can have some crazy outcomes compared to Warzone.

    Can't wait to see what they do with the mode considering it's the first of it's kind in a COD and IMO the best thing they did for the franchise for us people not trying out for the FAZE clan.

    Ich habe jetzt 5 runden in der neuen Zone verbracht und den mist gleich wieder gelöscht!

    The game is a mix of pubg and rainbowsix. No hit feeling. Loot mechanics are very bad. Why did they destroy everything beautiful in warzone 1?The game is a mix of pubg and rainbowsix. No hit feeling. Loot mechanics are very bad. Why did they destroy everything beautiful in warzone 1? Why did they come out of their own identities? This game is an insult to them. If Warzone 1 was like this when it first came out, I would never have played it. This firm has taken away everything that players love. They don't listen to the players at all. Everyone wanted Verdansk to come for months, but they didn't care. No one liked the Caldera, but they forced us to play it so they wouldn't admit they made a mistake. They brought back Warzone 1 and just put the Caldera map inside. They also opened it as solo and quads. We've come to the point of hating the game we love so much. Whoever determines this firm's strategy on warzone should be fired immediately. Expand
