Call of Duty’s battle royale will release in early March | VGC

Development sources detail and date Activision’s highly anticipated Warzone…

www.videogameschronicle.com

It was suggested that Warzone could drop as soon as in the next few days, however VGC understands that the mode is “at least a few weeks away” and bar any unexpected delays, will most likely release in early March.

Given that Modern Warfare updates are typically deployed on Tuesdays, March 10 is the most likely candidate for Warzone’s release date.

When its release date arrives, Warzone will instantly unlock for all owners of Modern Warfare via a currently greyed-out menu item, US development sources indicated.

The battle royale mode will also be released as a standalone game for free, with the option for players to purchase an ‘upgrade’ to the full version of Modern Warfare.

Warzone will likely share unified progression with the existing Modern Warfare battle pass, with cosmetic unlocks also made available in the battle royale mode.

Sources close to the game’s developer indicate that official marketing plans for Warzone will start this week, when invited North American content creators visit the studio to play and capture the battle royale mode ahead of a future announcement.

F2P, Alright i can finally test if this game runs on my Pc and if it does then I might as well start saving to buy it. Fingers Crossed, PLEASE WORK!

 

[Mista]

Yes this is good. No longer than March because people will start leaving the game

What? In 4 weeks the 3rd season will start.

We still have more tournaments/maps/operators/challenges to do until then too.

These seasons have a lot of content, this season more than most. If they keep the same level of content up in Season 3, I see no reason for the playerbase to drop off.

Yeah sure but until when season pass content will keep players around? I haven’t got this season because they don’t want to fix the game so why waste my time?

 

[drezz]

I want it to be Free, have mates that never got the game and having them join me in some BR would be fun.

Granted, if it goes F2P we will have to deal with a never ending supply of cheaters.

Hope it turns out great and improves the BR genre.

I've basically dropped it until BR comes out. Multiplayer, other than Gunfight can get in the sea. Looking forward to that BR though.

They've fixed a lot of things that have been annoying since launch. It's not in the same state it was at launch but each to their own.

This is exactly how I'm feeling. I've been playing on PC quite a bit since launch, and quite a number of things have been fixed. The only oddities I come across are mic volumes from other players, but I really don't care about that cause I mute everyone anyone as they're generally obnoxious, lmao.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

The only thing that can get me back on this trash heap.

 

[Birdo]

The game is already over 100GB. It's going to fill your entire HDD at this rate.

 

[Shifty1897]

Is it bad that I thought this was already out?

 

[AeonGaidenRaiden]

I think that massive update included BR map as well but its all locked for now.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

I don't know how reliable the source is but if its true Activision fucked up. Why put a classified menu into the main screen if it isn't going to be accessed until mid-March? People have already gotten into Warzone by glitching/spamming the classified menu so we know Warzone is in the game. I don't buy this story because data miners found 8 weeks of challenges to complete in the Warzone files so why start those challenges midway through season 2? Especially when it's rumored to be Free to Play to push battle pass sales.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

Yep the Warzone training grounds and assets to warzone are in the game right now.

 

[VertigoOA]

F2P BR means I’ll play it. Have no interest in the traditional product these days.

That's a shame. Should have been an optional download for people who don't like BR.

Lol tell me about it.

I have been deleting games off my SSD every time a new update is available for this game. At this rate i will be sat with only Modern Warfare on my 1TB SSD lol

 

[Texas Pride]

Peoples patience with this shit is running out. Release it or cancel it already.

 

[VertigoOA]

This shit is so fucking stupid. Premiere game mode... that’s what? Overshadowed by a new game in 7 more months.
