Calling All Rookies: Cracking the Code on Call of Duty's Warzone!
Ah, Warzone. The name strikes fear (and maybe a smidge of excitement) into the hearts of gamers everywhere. But with so many Call of Duty titles out there, it's enough to make your thumbs cramp trying to figure out which one actually has this battle royale beast. Well, fret no more, fellow warriors, for I, your friendly neighborhood gamer guide, am here to break it down for you like a piñata full of loot!
Hold Your Horses, There's More Than One Warzone?
That's right, my friends. Just like a particularly enthusiastic squad dropping into Verdansk with klieg lights strapped to their heads, Warzone isn't just a one-trick pony. There have actually been two major iterations of this free-to-play phenomenon.
-
Call of Duty: Warzone (2020-2022): This OG Warzone was the first to grace our screens, dropping alongside Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019). It quickly became a pop culture juggernaut, with players scrambling to survive the ever-shrinking circle of Verdansk (and later, Rebirth Island). Remember that iconic gas mask? Yeah, that was Warzone's signature look for a while.
-
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 (2022-present): Not to be outdone by its predecessor, Warzone 2.0 rose from the ashes in November 2022. This bad boy is linked to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II (2022) and boasts a brand new map – Al Mazrah. Think sprawling deserts, bustling cities, and enough loot caches to make a pack rat weep with joy.
So, Which Call of Duty Do I Need to Play Warzone?
The good news is, you don't actually need the full-priced Call of Duty games to jump into Warzone action! That's the beauty of it being free-to-play. Both Warzone and Warzone 2.0 are standalone downloads. Just whip out your preferred console or PC, hit download, and you're good to go.
But here's a heads up: If you want to unlock all the fancy operator skins and the most bada** weapons, you might want to consider grabbing the full game. Just think of it as an investment in looking fabulous while you dominate the competition.
Alright, Enough Talk, Time to Drop In!
Now that you're armed with the knowledge of which Call of Duty has Warzone, there's only one thing left to do: grab your squad, choose your landing zone, and prepare to unleash your inner warrior. Remember, rookies – stay frosty, loot like a maniac, and never underestimate the power of a well-placed grenade. Now get out there and show Verdansk (or Al Mazrah) what you're made of!
