The latest intel on what we can expect from COD’s next F2P multiplayer map
Looking for all the latest info on Al Mazrah, the new map arriving with Call Of Duty: Warzone 2.0?The Call Of Duty franchise is a complex web of sequels, prequels, spin-offs, and what-have-you. Now, Call Of Duty’s F2P branch Warzone will be getting a sequel of its own, known asWarzone 2.0, onNovember 19th. That’s just a few weeks after the latest paid entry into the series,Modern Warfare 2, launches on October 28th.
Warzone 2.0 won’t be replacing the original, at least for the time being, which is a welcome surprise given the tendency of F2P titles to frequently see old content overwritten in order to make way for whatever’s coming next. This hints that 2.0 is likely to have a quite different feel than its predecessor, thanks to being built on the same new architecture developed to support MW2. There’ll be new content, systems, and progress milestones to get to grips with — along with a brand-new map, Al Mazrah, capital of the fictional Western Asian nation of the Republic of Adal.
