CoD Warzone’s New Pacific Map May Fix Some of Verdansk’s Biggest Problems

While the recent Call of Duty: Vanguard showcase was supposed to focus on the upcoming game’s multiplayer modes (and perhaps help distract people from Activision Blizzard’s ongoing harassment lawsuit and the fallout of the accusations made in that lawsuit), it’s hardly a surprise that most Call of Duty fans are instead focused on the brief glimpse of Warzone‘s new Pacific map that we got during the Vanguard event. We don’t know everything about this new map yet, but we do know that it is designed to resemble a Pacific island, will of course be tied into Vanguard‘s WW2 storyline in…

Watch Dr DisRespect and TimTheTatman Play Call of Duty: Warzone on YouTube

The Twitch streamer exodus continues. Just days after pro gamer and streamer DrLupo signed an exclusivity deal with YouTube Gaming, another big name on Twitch has followed suit: Timothy John Betar, better known as TimTheTatman, will stream exclusively on YouTube starting today. “I know it’s going to be a change and there are people that don’t like change,” Betar told Business Insider after the move was announced. “[But] sometimes change ends up being a better thing.” Betar explained that the deal would allow him to be more flexible with his streaming content, saying that joining YouTube would allow him to spend…

Call of Duty Warzone: How to Unlock the Nakatomi Plaza Vault

The latest Call of Duty: Warzone patch not only adds John Rambo and John McClane skins to the battle royale mode (making it the unofficial ’80s action stars named John update), but if you know what you’re doing, you can even open the vault hidden in the Nakatomi Plaza building recently added to Warzone‘s Verdansk ’84 map. While the legendary Hans Gruber sadly doesn’t make an appearance in Warzone (at least not quite yet), you can fulfill his exceptional thief ambitions by breaking into the Nakatomi Plaza vault and stealing the riches inside. Instead of bearer bonds, though (which were…

Call of Duty Warzone: Best Season 3 Meta Weapons and Loadouts

Call of Duty Warzone Season 3 has finally launched, so it’s time to explore the new map, figure out how to beat all the cheaters, and, most importantly, try all the guns to find the best weapon combos in the refreshed meta. In case you didn’t see the Season 3 patch notes, the Warzone team decided to nuke the battle royale’s arsenal alongside the Verdansk map itself by nerfing several weapons, buffing others, and introducing a couple of new guns. For the first time in a little while, it feels like the Warzone meta isn’t entirely “solved.” Still, it’s already…

Call of Duty Warzone New Map Leak Reveals “Verdansk84”

It wouldn’t be a major new Call of Duty Warzone update without a few leaks, and true to form, it seems that the Call of Duty Warzone‘s much-hyped “new” map has been leaked ahead of its intended reveal. It seems that some players discovered that it was actually possible to play on the new Warzone map by using the mode’s private match function. While developer Raven shut down that workaround fairly quickly, they weren’t able to get to it before some prominent Call of Duty YouTubers were able to upload extensive footage of themselves exploring the new map. Oops. Based…

Call of Duty Warzone Season 3 Patch Notes Drop Ahead of Destruction of Verdansk Part 2

Hours before the Destruction of Verdansk Part 2 event and what many Call of Duty Warzone players suspect will be the full reveal of a new (or altered) map, the CoD team has released the full patch notes for Warzone‘s Season 3 update. The highlight of this update is undoubtedly the various changes made to Call of Duty‘s weapons as well as the addition of new weapons inspired by Cold War. Warzone fans have been saying that the game’s meta had become a real problem as the same few loadouts have dominated the battle royale for too long. With massive…

Call of Duty: Warzone’s Haunting of Verdansk Update is Surprisingly Scary

On paper, Call of Duty: Warzone‘s Haunting of Verdansk update looked like a fun way to kill a little time before the release of Cold War and celebrate Halloween a little ahead of schedule (as if we weren’t already doing that). However, it turns out that Warzone‘s new Zombies mode is actually the battle royale’s best event so far and a pretty fun tribute to the glory days of CoD‘s best Zombies modes. As we previously talked about, Warzone‘s limited-time Zombies mode sees you drop into a relatively small part of the Verdansk map and battle other players as per…

Call of Duty Warzone Haunting of Verdansk Update Trailer Revealed

Infinity Ward and Activision have finally revealed the official details for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone‘s upcoming Haunting of Verdansk Halloween update. Let’s start with something we’ve already covered: the SAW and Texas Chainsaw Massacre content packs. It turns out those leaks we talked about were surprisingly accurate, so be sure to check out that report if you want a closer look at those film-themed updates and all the new cosmetics they’ll introduce. Joining those horror movie icons is an original Call of Duty creation: Dr. Karlov. Described as an “infamous Verdansk urban legend,” Karlov was a scientist…

Call of Duty Warzone Update Includes Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw Skins

Dataminers have discovered that the latest Call of Duty: Warzone update contains data related to skins and items based on the Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Saw franchises. As noted by Call of Duty News, it seems that the files related to these skins were included in the most recent Call of Duty patch (which you can read a breakdown of right here) but the plan seems to be to actually release them sometime down the road (most likely in time for Warzone‘s previously uncovered Halloween event). Nevertheless, a seemingly reliable leak means that you can get a sneak peek at…

Call of Duty Warzone Patch Notes Explain How to Reduce PC File Size

Infinity Ward’s latest patch notes for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone are highlighted by a long-awaited way to reduce Call of Duty‘s file size on PC. By following these steps listed on the Infinity Ward website, players are able to selectively uninstall parts of the Call of Duty package on PC. While the website notes that you’re not able to uninstall Warzone as part of this method (which is interesting), you are able to uninstall Modern Warfare‘s campaign, multiplayer, and Special Ops modes. That’s big news for Warzone players who only play the battle royale as well as…

Why Call of Duty Warzone’s Anti-Cheat Updates Remain Controversial

Earlier this week, Activision and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare developer Infinity Ward revealed that they have banned 20,000 more Warzone accounts for cheating. Following that announcement, developer Infinity Ward took to Twitter to share some news about how many Warzone and Modern Warfare accounts have been banned for cheating since Modern Warfare’s launch in August 2019. Anti-cheat update:Since launch, the team has banned over 200,000 accounts for cheating across #Warzone and #ModernWarfare, including a new wave this week. We are continuing to deploy additional security updates and added backend enforcement tools. Zero tolerance for cheating.— Infinity Ward (@InfinityWard) October…

Call of Duty Warzone Mobile Port Hinted at by Activision Job Listing

A recently posted job listing strongly suggests that Call of Duty: Warzone is being ported to mobile devices. The job listing (which has since been taken down) was reported on by Charlie Intel. It calls for an “Executive Producer, Features” to work on a “new mobile FPS in the Call of Duty Franchise.” While that could pertain to any number of projects, the listing goes on to reference a mobile version of Warzone several times when specifying the requirements of the position. Actually the wording of the entire post is quite interesting. For instance, it asks for someone who can…

Call of Duty Warzone Patch Notes Include Bruen Nerf

The latest Call of Duty Warzone patch notes have arrived, and they feature some long-awaited changes to the battle royale’s LMG weapons. The biggest change in this recent update may just be a reduction to the Bruen MK9’s effective damage range. The Bruen has become something of an all-purpose solution for Warzone players who have been taking advantage (some would say “exploiting”) this gun’s accuracy and high rate of fire. With this change, the Bruen will likely be a far less effective solution at longer ranges. LMG fans who will suddenly find themselves unable to rely on the Bruen quite…
