When Call of Duty: Warzone first launched last week, it launched with only a trios mode, meaning players are forced to be in a team with two other players at all times. However, that has changed this week, as Infinity Ward has released a new update for Call of Duty: Warzone that allows for a true solo mode.
Before the new update, Call of Duty: Warzone players that wanted to play by themselves could technically do so by choosing not to fill their squad. However, this put them at a distinct disadvantage, as it meant that they would be by themselves, yet everyone else in the match would have partners watching their back. In Battle Royale Solo, Call of Duty: Warzone players can play by themselves, but have an even playing field as everyone else in the match will be alone as well.
At the time of this writing, it's unclear if this mode will be permanent in Call of Duty: Warzone moving forward, or if it will only be available for a limited time. Its longevity may very well depend on its popularity, so those who prefer a solo mode in Warzone battle royale will want to be sure to check it out.
It's always been assumed that Infinity Ward would add more team size options in Call of Duty: Warzone, but few expected those options to come just a week after the game's launch. If nothing else, this shows that Infinity Ward will support Call of Duty: Warzone just as much as it supports the standard Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
Moving forward, it's likely that even more team size options will be added to Call of Duty: Warzone. Infinity Ward has already said that it's been "playing with" 4- and 5-person squads in Warzone, which would be interesting to say the least.
For those hoping for larger team sizes, it seems likely that Warzone will add 5-player squads before it does 4-player squads. The reason being that the Warzone player count is 150 players, which does not divide evenly by 4. Of course, Infinity Ward could change the player count in the game to implement 4-player squads if it wants to, but it may make more sense to just start with 5-player squads. With how quickly Infinity Ward added Solos to Warzone, hopefully fans won't have to wait too much longer for larger team sizes in the game.
Call of Duty: Warzone is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
