Shotzzy believes Warzone will be back in full glory

In a recent interview with Seth "Scump" Abner, another legend of the game, Shotzzy spoke about his experience with the new map and Warzone. Activision invited pro players in WZ to test the new overhaul, and the feedback so far has been extremely positive.

The first Call of Duty: WZ was tied up with Modern Warfare (2019), and in 2020, Activision released it globally, immediately accruing millions of players within a month. With Modern Warfare 3 bringing major changes to the current mechanics, it is expected that the battle royale will follow a similar footprint. Shotzzy says,

"I will say, I do feel like Warzone is going to be back though. Not gonna lie...Because it's literally like 2019 Warzone."

Activision has announced a brand new map for the battle royale. Furthermore, the most controversial feature in the current version of the game, the movement mechanism, is also receiving a major overhaul. From the return of the fan-favorite mechanism Slide Cancel to Reload Cancel, it's all there in the game.

Fans who used to cherish the fast-paced gameplay in the OG version would surely be familiar with these changes. According to Activision, all these changes have been made based on the community's reaction and feedback so far.

The upcoming game will be built on the same engine as the current one, so it'll be easier for devs to implement those changes without starting from scratch.
