WhileCall of Duty: Warzone2is set to release alongsideCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2later this year, fans do not know much else about the battle royale title. OneCall of Duty: Warzone 2feature that is constantly being discussed is the map, and the latest rumor suggests that said map could be exciting for Blackout fans.
Thus far, there have been a wide range ofleaks regarding theCall of Duty: Warzone 2map. One leak has suggested that it has a desert setting, while another has argued that it will be built primarily around favelas - a believable leak since the campaign will apparently focus on battling drug cartels. Yet another leak suggested that the map will be comprised of classic locations from the originalModern Warfare 2, which would line up perfectly with this new rumor that the map resembles Blackout.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 4’s beloved Blackout modewas the franchise’s first attempt at a battle royale offering, and it proved to be a big hit. While it handled armor and healing differently, a lot of Blackout’s DNA is present in the free-to-play title, with one example being the reskinned version of Alcatraz that is Rebirth Island. Now, according to Tom Henderson, an even larger similarity will be seen inCall of Duty: Warzone 2.
Henderson has proven correct on several occasions, so while all rumors should be taken with a grain of salt, his comments are worth taking into consideration. According to the insider, the map’s layout “looks more like Blackout” than Caldera orVerdansk. This could suggest a few things, the first of which being that both the desert and favela leaks might be true. In Blackout, players saw desert areas and locations filled with foliage in the same play space, andCall of Duty: Warzone 2may be taking a similar approach.
Alongside a map that values environmental variety over realism, the leak aboutCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 2locations inWarzone 2could prove to be accurate. Unlike Verdansk and Caldera, which mainly featured brand-new areas, a large portion of the Blackout map was home to classic multiplayer and Zombies locations. Players could visit Nuketown and Firing Range, battle on the Hijacked boat, or explore Buried and Verruckt. Something similar may take place inCall of Duty: Warzone 2, with players battling through Terminal and Highrise.
Fans of the originalCall of Duty: Modern Warfaregames have good reason to be optimistic about this leak, as Blackout was built as a celebration of theBlack Opsseries. IfCall of Duty: Warzone 2really is similar, its map may end up being a celebration ofModern Warfare’s history.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2is currently in development for PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X.
