"Call of Duty: Warzone 2" - all known information to date.

At yesterday's meeting with journalists and content makers, the creative director of Infinity Ward, Patrick Kelly, shared interesting details about both Call of Duty: Warzone 2 and the unsuccessful post-release support for the original Call of Duty: Warzone:

* Initially, "Call of Duty: Warzone" was conceived exclusively as an add-on for "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" (2019). The company did not expect that the game would become so popular, but after such a stunning success, the management decided to integrate the subsequent parts of the series into the royal battle, which was their main mistake, because, according to Kelly himself, the original "Call of Duty: Warzone" was not intended for mergers. This started to cause more and more problems with the development and technical support of the game.

As the creative director said at a closed press conference: "After "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War" was integrated into "Call of Duty: Warzone", the battle royale ceased to feel like "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare" (2019), but at the same time did not begin to feel like "Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War". The game just 'existed'."

In the end, "Call of Duty: Warzone" became a "bloated" game after all the integrations. According to journalists, during a closed video conference, representatives of Infinity Ward and Raven Software studios officially admitted all their mistakes.

"We screwed up, but we're breaking our backs to make the best game we can create," said Infinity Ward creative director Patrick Kelly.

* "Call of Duty: Warzone 2" will lay the foundation for the future of the franchise by adding a new engine that will become the same for the subsequent parts of the series. Their goal is to ensure that the games and content that will be added to WZ2 match the signature of the studio that does it.

• It was stated that the appearance of a rating mode for "Call of Duty: Warzone" is possible, but it takes a sufficient amount of time to balance everything before its release.

* Infinity Ward is leading the development on Call of Duty: Warzone 2. Raven Software is most likely acting as a support studio, as was the case with the original Call of Duty: Warzone.

• During a closed press conference, the developers hinted that they are working on an updated matchmaking system that will allow players to set player selection parameters. For example, players from which platforms and from which input devices will be in the same lobby with you.

• During a closed press conference, there was a discussion about the aim assist nerf in close-range battles. Representatives of the studio said that they will think about this issue.

The release date of "Call of Duty: Warzone 2" is still unknown.But personally I think that Warzone 2 will be released together with MW2 or in 2023.
