As with every new season ofCall of Duty: Warzone, Season 3 is adding a ton of new content. Players can look forward tonew weapons, the return of Rebirth Island, and much more. However, there’s one interesting part that’s been neglected for quite some time: standard Battle Royale. Players have started to complain, and it’s getting a little frustrating to see such a lack of love given to the BR game mode and Urzikstan map.
All new Season 3 Warzone content is for Resurgence
The developers finally gave us a glimpse into what’s coming with the big Season 3 content update on April 3.Modern Warfare 3multiplayer players are ecstatic, as there’s plenty to love about the new content and changes. Additionally, those who primarily play Resurgence game modes inWarzoneshould be pleased too. However, the big-map game mode, Battle Royale, remains the same.
There are also a host of other changes and updates which are all almost entirely made for Resurgence game modes. Unfortunately, it looks like players like me who love the big-map Battle Royale on Urzikstan are forgotten.
Is anything new coming to Urzikstan?
In thelong list of updates coming withModern Warfare 3andWarzoneSeason 3, only a select few apply to Urzikstan. The first is a new game mode called Boot Camp, which is exactly what it sounds like. It’s aWarzonetraining ground for new players, where they can drop in and fight against bots in the regular Battle Royale game mode. In quads-only, 20 players and 24 bots will face off in a noob-friendly version of the Urzikstan game mode. Player, weapon, and battle pass XP is very limited in this game mode so experienced players can’t farm for fast leveling.
Next, Urzikstan and Vondel are both getting a new event added to their gulag system. Fighting to the death is no longer the only option, as both players can now agree to leave together. When two ladders drop from the roof, both players can climb out to safety, or lie to the other and kill them before they escape. A similar mechanic was present in the gulag of previousWarzoneversions, which was removed and now added back.
Lastly, some bunkers have now opened on Urzikstan, as they did on Verdansk and Caldera in the past. What’s inside is unknown as of yet, but the devs warn of imminent threats lurking in the area. We’d wager there are valuable rewards inside, if you’re able to get past whatever is in the way. As with every BR map to date, Urzikstan needed its bunker to open, get loot, and hide in. Though it doesn’t provide anything new to gameplay or the map itself, it’s an easy way for the devs to get ‘new content’ into Urzikstan.
Warzone Battle Royale needs the Resurgence treatment
As you can see, there’s quite a bit more significant content coming to other game modes for Season 3. The standard Battle Royale players are undoubtedly feeling left out. The list of missing content available elsewhere continues growing with each passing season.
Somebig name streamers have even taken to Twitterto voice their displeasure with the lack of changes or ranked mode in big-map Battle Royale.One even said it seems like the devsare “going all-in on Resurgence,” which is certainly a difficult point to argue. HasCall of Dutytruly forgotten about standard Battle Royale? Or is something huge in the works that we’re not allowed to know about yet? We hope it’s the latter, but we’ll have to wait until at least Season 4 before anything exciting inWarzonecan come to fruition.
