News - Modern Warfare 2 Warzone 2. 0 Sucks
Welcome back to Modern Warfare 2. In this one. I want to talk to you about Warzone 2.0, and before we jump into it. I want you to understand that this is an opinion piece; this is what I think of the game mode based on my experiences with it, and overall. I just think that Modern Warfare 2's Warzone 2.0.
Sucks I've sat there and been playing for a little while now. I've played some solos and I've played some quads, and it just doesn't feel great for a war zone. Warzone One was a lot of fun. There were a lot of contracts and stuff going on in matches, and the locations were good locations and stuff.
I don't know why, but it just felt good to play the original war zone. I didn't play it too often in the end because there were a lot of hackers, there were far too many meters to keep up with, and all that sort of stuff, but in War Zone 2, and I know it might get better over time, but this is the initial launch sort of impression.
I jumped into a match of solos. I managed to get a couple of kills. I managed to get a hit marker on them, take all their armor, and get them down to low health with a sniper shot, but they got the better of me and killed me. But it was just—I don't know like you—the moment you leave the plane, the whole map just looks so dead.
And, excuse my groggy throat. I'm still recovering, and I'm just about managing to find the energy to record these articles, but it just feels so washed out, it looks horrible, and then you land, and it just gets even worse. I don't know what it is about War Zone 2, but it just feels like a shittier version of War Zone 1.
If you take a look at the map, there are so many areas that are just maps from previous Call of Duty titles that it feels as though there's nothing in this game that's actually original. Sometimes that's a plus, but when it comes to Warzone, it's a huge thing within the community, and loads of players just absolutely flood into it.
They even shut down the old War Zone servers for 12 days to try and get as many people over to War Zone 2 as they could. Then they have the issue with War Zone, where they tell people they can't play unless they buy Modern Warfare 2, which has a bug. I don't know how long it's going to take them to fix it.
It took them over 24 hours to sort out a social menu so that you could actually play with your friends, and not only that, it's a really confusing menu. You go to the menu of Modern Warfare 2, click on Battle Royale—it just says quads—and then you have to back out of that menu in order to access the other game modes, and personally.
I don't like assimilation, basically. You can put up the emote and request to join another squad, and then I also don't like the fact that you get the jailer in the gulag. It's a 2v2 situation in the gulag, then, after some time, this jailer comes in, and you can team up with the other team to all work together to take out this jailer, then all four of you get released for assimilation.
And the jailer's actions are the stupidest things I've ever heard of. It's a battle royale. It's a shitshow. Last Man Standing: Why are you teaming up with other players to win? They are your opponents when the match starts; why are you all of a sudden like If I'm on my own and there's a team of three in a game of quads and I request to join, they then go and carry me to victory, which is a participation shit trophy.
When you're playing Last Man Standing: Battle Royale, your goal is to kill every other enemy. Why are you then going to team up with random players who never started in your squad? The backpack systems are dodgy for a war zone title for a battle royale, and it feels as though they only put that into the game so the DMZ had less code or something like that.
I don't know; it just feels half-assed from every aspect, and I really didn't enjoy it. I jumped into quads, and it's the same thing just amplified by 54. From playing solo, you've just got other teammates that you can rely on, and they can rely on you, but the thing is, another thing I've noticed is that people just don't really give a shite, or at least the people I've been partnered with, because I go into a game and as soon as someone goes down, that's it; they dip straight away.
Some people don't even attempt to Gulag; they just drop out of the match altogether. That's quite frustrating if you're in quads and you're left with two of you against full-on teams of four. Well, what if you've got the cash halfway through to buy your teammates back and they've just left the game because they can't be asked because they're not involved in the action?
If you want something where you don't have to wait for a possible respawn, go and sh*t 6v6. The reason I don't sit there and play Search and Destroyer is because I'm not a big fan of that feature, but if I'm going to jump into Search and Destroyer or Warzone, I'm going to jump into Warzone. I'm going to accept the fact that I might be a spectator for 10 minutes, waiting for my teammates to buy me in, or just sitting there waiting 10 minutes for them to eventually die.
That's how this game mode works, and ever since Warzone released, the amount of players concurrently playing the game released on Steam has quadrupled. It was averaging around 120, 000 players per day for the majority of November, then War Zone 2 dropped, and they're up to like 430.000 concurrent players in a 24-hour window there.
There are so many people playing this, and I don't understand why you look around the map and see what people have built. They've basically just got this open sort of sound box and just filled it with old maps from different Call of Duty titles. You've got the dome in there from, what is it, MW3, you've got Terminal, you've got High Rise, and you've got Quarry.
I'm not entirely sure yet, but I'm jumping into some positive stuff for once in a third-person battle royale. I think it's shite, and I think it's really, really good fun. I don't know what it is or how a simple perspective change can occur. make that much of a difference, but I went in there with a couple of other teammates, and they actually felt as though they were trying to play the objective properly, trying to be the last team to stand in, and it felt a lot more.
I'm going to say it felt more minimalist; it actually felt like that from that third-person perspective. I don't know if this is because of my history with things like Division 2; I used to love it. Ghost Recon Future Soldier back in the day; I don't know if it's because I love third-person stuff, but it just felt really tactical.
I mean, granted, at the end I had my ass handed to me. I crept around the corner of this building. I saw three people on the hill. I knew from that moment it was game over; there was one in the building above me and three over the road from me; I had no escape; but. I personally think the third-person BR third-person war zone is a lot of fun.
