Activision is making significant changes to Warzone 2.0, and a lot of it sounds like going back to Warzone 1.
While Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 enjoyed a massive launch late last year, player dissatisfaction has grown since then. While we don’t have concurrent player numbers on console, according to SteamDB, Modern Warfare 2 player numbers have dropped off steadily following a peak in early November.
In a blog post, Activision outlined what changes Warzone 2.0 players can expect when Season 2 launches on 15th February.
Activision had already announced the return of the 1v1 Gulag from Warzone after criticism of Warzone 2.0’s 2v2 Gulag. The new Gulag gets the original Warzone overtime mechanic – the Domination-style flag control point – in place of the Jailer. As part of this, Activision has “edited” the existing Gulag for better 1v1 fights, but a dedicated 1v1 map is in the works for future seasons.
