Warzone: 10 Fan Theories For Cold War Season 2 | Game Rant

Call of Duty has always been a top-selling franchise, and this is partially thanks to the games having plenty of DLC and updates for the players. Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War is set to get its next big update on February 25, introducing new content for nearly every facet of the game. Fans of Infinity Ward’s Call of Duty: Warzone shouldn’t feel left out though, as there has been plenty of hinted content for the future of the incredibly popular battle royale game.

On February 25, the teams at Treyarch and Raven Studios will deliver the long-awaited Season 2 update to both Black Ops Cold War and Warzone promising significant changes, updates, and improvements to both blockbuster titles. Though little has been teased, fans are already coming up with their own wishlists and theories as to what Season 2 holds for the future.

10 An Entirely New Map

Warzone players have been duking it out on the original map of Verdansk since March 10, 2020. Though the map has undergone several changes (including the climactic opening of the stadium), the overall feel and gameplay loop have stayed the same. Every location brings its own challenges and sights, but players are definitely ready for some new locales.

The trailer showcasing Black Ops’ next season is set in a heavily jungled area covered with dense bushes and hilly terrain. This is unlike anyplace currently in Verdansk, and players believe this is going to replace Verdansk as the new primary map in Warzone.

9 Major Changes To Verdansk

Though Verdansk has grown stale for many players, many more would still like to see it in rotation. Though it has been highly hinted that a new map is coming, many fans think Verdansk will stay in the game but be changed in a big way.

Older leaks have pointed towards a more mountainous map or addition to Verdansk, but the new Season 2 roadmap has many fans thinking that Verdansk is soon going to see a lot more water. In the top left corner of the roadmap, fans noticed the text saying, “A dark wave approaches Verdansk” and many think that part of the map may become flooded, completely overhauling how it is played.

8 Dirty Bomb Integration

During the open beta of Black Ops: Cold War, players were divided on the 40-player wide-scale multiplayer mode called Fireteam: Dirty Bomb. At one point, there was a lot of buzz surrounding the game mode but it has since faded into obscurity, not attracting nearly the same attention that it did when announced.

Though the mode didn’t have 150 players like Warzone, it still offered a large-scale conflict where teams would battle to be the last one standing with the most points. Points were gained by collecting uranium and arming dirty bombs, effectively closing portions of the map until all the players were forced into a close-quarters fight for the ages. Many fans think Dirty Bomb could be overhauled and integrated into Season 2.

7 Large Scale Team Mode

The video game industry is very aware of itself. Developers realize when things work and when things don’t (usually). Because of this, some fans think that Season 2 will bring in a new large-scale team-based mode to Warzone. Many battle royale games before Warzone have played with 50 vs 50 modes or the equivalent of splitting the lobby into two teams.

For Warzone specifically, this could mean a 75 vs 75 mode that’s potentially more than just a large-scale team deathmatch (sorry Warzone Rumble). This would completely change the strategy players have built playing Warzone over the last year and offer some surely incredible set-piece moments.

6 Meta Changing Weapons

Fans are expecting a meta-changing weapon more than they’re theorizing that one “might” be added. Nearly every season has brought an incredible weapon to the fight that shakes up the established meta. Last season brought the incredibly powerful Mac-10 (which was eventually nerfed a bit) and the prior season introduced the SP-R 208 which was actually broken on release.

Though these guns eventually get balanced, they still often end up changing the meta. The Mac-10, SP-R 208, and Bruen LMG were all changed and nerfed after their initial releases but remain as top-level picks for competitive loadouts. Because of this, fans are expecting a new weapon to completely change up the current sniper-focused meta.

5 Animation Changes

Winning a battle royale is never easy. It requires skill (or really great teammates) and good coordination. Wins don’t come often for most players, and that’s what makes the end game animation so much sweeter. Flying away from the gas-filled battlefield with your squad and having the names proudly displayed on the screen makes players feel like action movie heroes.

Fans are hoping that some endgame animations get added showcasing their skins, operators, and names in more environments than the default helicopter that has saved them from Verdansk so many times. Black Ops: Cold War has plenty of neat intro animations to every map in regular multiplayer, so it isn’t a huge jump to think that similar animations might be added with Season 2.

4 Boats & Swimming

In the previous version of a Call of Duty battle royale, Blackout players were able to swim and pilot boats. Unlike other battle royale games, players could even fire their weapons from under the surface of the water, allowing for interesting and bold ambush opportunities.

With some fans thinking parts of Verdansk might become flooded, others are now thinking that Blackout’s old water combat system may make a return in Season 2. Players can already pilot several different boats in Black Ops: Cold War’s multiplayer modes and many people are looking forward to possibly experiencing this new form of travel in Warzone.

3 Hints For Modern Warfare 2

Though Call of Duty is split into two different storylines by Treyarch and Infinity Ward, Black Ops: Cold War and Warzone have hinted that the two may happen in the same universe. The developers at Infinity Ward will reference the games made by Treyarch and vice-versa. Thus, it’s no surprise that fans are expecting easter eggs or hints at 2021’s Call of Duty game, which will be made by Infinity Ward.

It’s currently unknown whether or not Infinity Ward will be continuing their Modern Warfare reboot, but fans are hopeful for some hints towards its existence in Season 2. Modern Warfare 2 holds a special place in the hearts of many gamers who remember it for its toxic lobbies, zany multiplayer loadouts, endless memes, and the hard-hitting campaign.

2 Zombies?

Halloween of 2020 brought a brand new mode to Warzone where players would become zombies after dying. They had a chance to fight the living and regain their humanity, returning to fight with their squads once more. As the event was well-liked by most players, it is not a stretch to imagine that zombies could be returning to Warzone with Season 2.

Treyarch’s Call of Duty games are known primarily for their zombie modes. A ton of development time goes into crafting the zombie modes and fans are expecting to see some Black Ops-style zombies somewhere in Warzone in Season 2.

1 Attachment Overhauls

Many fans are desperately hoping that Raven Studios and Treyarch will be fixing the weapon attachments in Season 2. Currently, the weapon attachments for Cold War weapons are fundamentally broken in Warzone. Some don’t do what they say they do while others do the complete opposite of what they say.

Players are relying on content creators and community leaders to figure out what exactly the Cold War attachments do. Season 2 has promised improvements, which will hopefully include fixing the broken weapon attachments for Warzone. Players are frustrated that their win rates and success is getting jeopardized by these broken attachments, and Season 2 offers the developers the chance to fix these unpleasant bugs.
