Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Warzone 2.0 is every bit the sequel you hoped it would be. While minor improvements could still be useful, Al Mazrah is arguably the best map to ever grace the Call of Duty battle royale experience. The tactical pacing is a welcome change, DMZ is a revelation for the extraction shooter casual space, and it’s all built on the best gunplay in first-person shooters. Infinity Ward has knocked it out of the park.
Warzone 2 is a massive leap forward in scale and ambition, held back by a rough launch.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0’s battle royale is an iterative upgrade. If you enjoyed the original Warzone, you’ll enjoy the new one. The DMZ mode, on the other hand, is new, and a lot of fun thanks to the fact that you’re never sure if you’re going to run into another player as you try and complete your own objectives.
Does it feel AAA? Yes. Is it flashy and pretty? Yes. Is the third-person mode a nice touch? Yes. Is proximity chat one of the best and most hilarious features added to Call of Duty ever, arguably better than death comms? Absolutely. But is Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 a massive improvement and step forward for the Warzone formula? Not particularly, and if anything I would have preferred the former big updates approximately every 12 months instead of Activision just hitting the reset button as they have done here.
