After a long wait, the new Call of Duty Battle Royale game is finally available, free for everyone on PC, Playstation and XBox One . Call Of Duty Warzone a few days after its release is already a great success all over the world, not only for the particular moment in which it came out (Coronavirus), but also because it is a game, in all respects, of the Call of Duty series, with the added fun and competitiveness of the battle royale genre (shooter all against all with 100 or more players in the open environment).

Battle Royale games, shooter all against all with 100 or more players in the open environment, have become immensely popular and titles such as PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, Fortnite and Apex Legends, free, boast millions of players. It was therefore only a matter of time before Activision released the free-to-play version of Call of Duty (which is the king of the shooter games of the last decade).
Call of Duty Warzone is available for free download on PC, PS4 and Xbox One . Those who already own the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare game should find the Warzone version bootable from the main menu or search for it on the Battle.net client (PC) or on the PlayStation Store (PS4) or Microsoft Store (Xbox One). In addition to being free-to-play, Call of Duty: Warzone is cross-platform, which means everyone can play together whatever computer or console they use.
There are two game modes in Warzone : Battle Royale and Plunder . Battle Royale sees three-player teams competing with up to 150 players in total where the last standing team wins the night. Plunder mode, which means looting, involves collecting money by stealing it around and taking down enemies to steal their money.
All of this happens through a huge map called Verdansk, which is a city with multiple areas and points of interest, full of weapons and vehicles to use to stay alive as the map gets smaller forcing the survivors to fight. Warzone is therefore a game full of continuous and endless action.
Warzone vehicles are very important to escape from the area shrinkage and there are five of them, with different levels of protection, speed, number of seats and off-road capability. Each vehicle has a health meter that when it drops to zero, explodes and loses energy or dies.
The Call of Warzone mechanic offers many strategies for trying out a new experience every time you start a new game.
In the Battle Royale, at the first elimination, he is taken as a prisoner of war and thrown into the Gulag. where you have to face other prisoners in a 1v1 to earn the gain the return in Verdansk (ie in the real game). If you lose, you have to hope that the home team completes the contracts and earn enough money in the game to redeem the prisoner's freedom.
Contracts are instead specific tasks or missions. These contracts are found in the game and can be activated and completed. There are several types of Contracts, including Scavenger Contracts where you need to find and open a series of supply boxes and reconnaissance contacts where you need to protect a position. In addition to the money, contracts can give special rewards such as being able to see the location of the next collapse before the area starts closing.
Collecting money in Battle Royale mode is not the primary goal, but it can be useful for procuring items at purchase stations.
One thing to keep in mind is that while Warzone is free-to-play, there are ways to spend money on the game although it is possible to avoid it without consequences in staying competitive.
Call of Duty: Warzone will feel familiar to anyone who has already played Battle Royale, but compared to games like PUBG and Fortnite it has that violent and bloody appearance typical of Call Of Duty.
Before playing it is perhaps better to see the trailer. You will probably know if this is the game for you after seeing the violent and bloody trailer.
