News - Warzone 2: The 21 Things You Need To Know Before Launch
In less than two days, we'll be jumping in and experiencing season one of Modern Warfare 2 and, for many, probably the bigger release of War Zone 2 alongside DMZ. The only things that remain will be raids in mid-season and ranked play sometime in early 2023. But what's on deck is a massive offering.
Drop your thoughts below about war zone 2: yedo Are you most looking forward to a new map to explore and conquer? a new way to grab loadouts? the movement changing the vehicle's play? What are the reasons driving your thoughts below? Let's see if we can shoot for 3,000 on this one. We're going to have so much to discuss here in regards to updates, new content, and information tips.
Tricks and guides, best loadouts and classes, all that stuff, we've got a lot on Deck, so make sure you stick it here on the channel so you don't miss a bit. We're chasing down 600,000 subscribers, so if you're part of that 70 of yours who are not subscribers and you'd like to join the community, I'd love to have you. For now, let's jump into the 21 things you need to know before the launch of Warzone.
When does warzone 2 launch? (date / time)
2 let's start simple with the launch of War Zone 2; that's going to start at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on November 16th, so this coming Wednesday that's going to translate to 1 p.m. Eastern and 6 p.m. in the UK.
7 pm., in Stockholm and Berlin At 2 a.m. on the 17th in Seoul, South Korea, and Tokyo, Japan, at 3 a.m. in Sydney. Australia, and other places like that, corresponding to whatever time zone in the world you're in now, that's also something that season one for Modern Warfare 2 will be going live at the same time here, but again, that's a different topic of discussion, but all your Modern Warfare content will be available at that point.
When can you preload warzone 2?
As well now as for preloads, well, this is something you can actually jump in on and take advantage of right now. This should be visible through your platform store or available via BNet and Steam if you're on PC as.
How big is the warzone 2 download?
For sizing, now this is where it gets a little bit interesting. We'll talk about this just a little bit further in a second, but the War Zone 2 content pack for Modern Warfare 2 is 3 gigabytes in size.
As it's previously been reported, and you may see this yourself, the game is roughly 115 gigabytes according to the recent Xbox listing. Is the sort of reasoning here due to the fact that, while there is no definitive answer right now, to me, this comes down to the point of : is it a standalone application?.
Is warzone 2 its own application? (separate from modern warfare 2?)
But if you were to look at your task manager on PC, something you can't do naturally on console, you'd see that when modern is referred to as "running," it's detailed and not as Modern Warfare 2 was the application, but instead the Call of Duty HQ application, and exe a sort of shared home and hub for all things modern.
Cod So while we don't have a Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 application, it seems like the two are separated to some degree, as you can play Modern Warfare 2 without the need to download Warzone 2 assets, and vice versa. So what I'm imagining again is that right now, without the ability to dive into directories or see firsthand.
I'd imagine that 100+ gigabyte download correlates solely to the War Zone 2 Standalone if you do not have Modern Warfare 2 at all, but with Modern Warfare 2 sharing so much of the world of Almazra and all, it's only a three gigabyte additional partition for the game with existing assets already downloaded via Modern Warfare 2. If that makes sense, as a result, it seems like your size may vary depending on whether you've played and downloaded Modern Warfare 2 yet.
Raven is leading communication in warzone 2
Or, not now beyond that, before I jump into actual gameplay-specific things, I want to talk briefly about communications. This year, Raven is at the helm while Infinity Ward handles Modern Warfare 2 and War Zone 2 content distribution.
Yedo is assisting on the war zone side of things in regards to development, but it seems like they're primarily handling communication. Now i know a lot of people say they love or hate Raven for what they did with Warzone and the experience of the last few years, but no matter how you feel, in my point of view, it's an objective fact that they handled communication worlds.
especially in the last year or so, in regards to patch note update issues, and that is one thing that I respect like crazy. Raven seems to be continuing the transparency here at War Zone 2, and we're looking forward to that.
Warzone 2's new map: al mazrah (map breakdown)
As for the actual gameplay itself, well. War Zone 2 introduces a new map called Al Masra, which has been seen already through some of the content and gameplay of the past, but we'll have a new world to explore with various points of interest.
Oasis tarak Village Rohan oil Al Mazura City Quarry; hydroelectric; marshlands; cave al-Sharim; pass Port Saeed; city observatory. Akdar Village Cemetery. Sawa Village. Sarif. Bay Fortress, and airport; but for a more in-depth understanding, we actually just got a new TAC map guide similar to the one we had in Verdansk, and for Dance 84 in the first two years of Warzone, you can more deeply familiarize yourself with a local language and geography.
I'll leave that link up.
Warzone 2's player count
As for player count when you jump into the game itself, well, we've seen 150, likely with 150 and 52 being the max in quads, but back to that normal total that we'd seen before with a launch of Warzone all the way up to when Caldera reduced that player count down to like 128 or something like that here in the last couple of months for Caldera and Warzone, but Beyond that, we'll see some movement differences in gameplay as well.
Warzone 2 movement changes compared to warzone 1
What we have in Modern Warfare 2 is what you'll see in War Zone 2. There's no real defined movement meta per se just yet, but it'll perhaps feel a little bit clunkier by comparison, especially if you're a war zone main who hasn't really played too much Modern Warfare 2 just yet. Warzone, 1 to Warzone 2 is definitely going to be a system shock in that regard; you're not going to be able to slide-cancel around the map to the degree that you could in Warzone 1, and so therefore it might feel a little bit slower paced.
Now loadout's one of the fundamental things here in Warzone. There are changes here. First, loadouts can consist of your primary, secondary, lethal, tactical, and perks packages.
The warzone 2 loadout changes
Now, full loadouts can be found in two different locations. Number one, it can be found in the loadout drops coming in from the in-world event, the loadout drop event, anytime.
