Some time ago, it was revealed that the ‘Call of Duty Warzone’, the battle royale component of Modern Warfare, would be integrated into Trek and Raven Software’s upcoming game ‘Black Ops Cold War’.
During the subsequent multiplayer reveal event, the developers announced that all of the content earned in the current version of Warzone would move to the Black Ops Cold War version, which confuses some fans, given how different the two games are. Now, it looks like we have some answers on how the two games will integrate.
According to known CoD leaker TheLongSensation, the Black Ops Cold War version of Warzone will basically be the Modern Warfare version of the game, including new weapons, vehicles, and other cosmetics that fit better with the era.
Warzone is essentially IW’s Warzone (same movement and gun mechanics) – Treyarch will just add cosmetics, weapons, vehicles and that sort of thing. So in Warzone you’ll be able to lean and mount with BOCW weapons, whereas in multiplayer you can’t. So this is going to be interesting. https://t.co/NmzQDy9G7V

Specifically, TheLongSensation maintains that the mechanics will remain the same, making it sound like a warzone, essentially, getting a Black Ops Cold War makeover. This means that the mounting, bending, doors, and everything else that Warzone players love (and hate) are all here to stay.
In addition, a new map for the game is apparently being worked out; However, TheLongSensation speculated that it may not be ready yet. That being said, there is still a few months left between now and the game, so while it is not far behind, there is still time to complete the map.
There is a new map in development, but Treyork’s comments about the warzone during the reveal made it seem like it wasn’t ready for me yet. https://t.co/Y2zbvJvhSO

Overall, while this is a good idea, it is difficult to tell what the community might think of the move. Although the reception of Warzone is generally more positive than the base Modern Warfare experience, there are some people who want to see a complete overhaul of the game.
It will also be interesting to see if this is true. It is difficult to understand the idea of a completely different game originally launched within the application of another game. Hopefully we’ll find out soon.
