069CALL OF DUTY: WARZONE
THE GUNS ARE GREAT
This sounds painfully obvious, but the fact COD brings its peerless brand of blasting into the battle royale space shouldn’t be sniffed at.
While Fortnite and PUBG’s shooting are perfectly serviceable, the biggest FPS franchise on Earth uses its 17-year history to easily outgun the competition.01
SIZE MATTERS
The spectacle Warzone serves up really is something.
While Battlefield used to continually wow us with its hectic 64-player
skirmishes, the fact COD’s recently released battle royale can host 150
different gamers in a single map is downright astonishing.THE PERFECT FORMULA
Step back and look at Warzone from a beard-stroking
conceptual standpoint, and it is the ideal game for the late-PS4 era. The
impeccable shooting of the world’s most successful FPS series plus a zeitgeist-
capturing battle royale format equals a shooty match made in heaven.02 03
CRAZY SCORES
There’re some seriously wild killstreaks happening in
Warzone, and as we write the three-person squad of Lymax, Zepa, and Micka
has the best record yet: 78 kills in a row. In a standard 150-player match, this
means these three alone killed 52% of the match’s players.THE RACE IS ON
Fearful of pro players like Lymax, Zepa, and Micka
owning you? Then take a time out and set up an ad hoc ATV race. There’s a kart
track in Verdansk; heading down there you can often find groups of players
charging around on ATVs. Lymax, Zepa, and Micka will probably win this too.04 05
