A number of leaks, including some from inside the game itself, have more or less confirmed that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's battle royale mode is well on the way. The mode, leaked to be titled Warzone, is reportedly set to include a massive 200 player count, and as such, its map will apparently be similarly massive to house all these players in one match.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare leaker ModernWarzone has tweeted an image of the Black Ops 4 Blackout map scaled for comparison with the Warzone map. Assuming the information is accurate, it appears as though the Modern Warfare Warzone map is going to be at least 3-4x the size of Blackout. With the Modern Warfare battle royale player count rumored to be a whopping 200 players, it makes sense for the Warzone map to be much larger.
Luckily, fans shouldn't have to wait too much longer to get their first proper look at the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Warzone map. Infinity Ward itself has teased the mode's existence, and some players have even managed to glitch into the Warzone matches. It seems like a proper release for the mode is imminent, though whether it will come by the end of this month, next month, or even farther out remains to be seen.
The latest information points to the Modern Warfare Warzone release date being early March, though that hasn't been confirmed by Activision or Infinity Ward. Fans should be sure to keep their expectations in check, as it's possible that the wait for the Modern Warfare battle royale mode will be longer than expected.
In the meantime, there is plenty for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare players to enjoy in the base game while they wait for the Warzone battle royale mode. This includes the new batch of Modern Warfare Season 2 content, which added fan favorite MW2 map Rust to the game, along with new weapons, game modes, and more. Even more Season 2 maps are on the way, so there's plenty to look forward to in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare beyond battle royale.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare fans should keep an eye out for more information on the Warzone battle royale mode as Season 2 continues.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
