Microsoft had recently announced an increase in prices for the Xbox Live Gold membership. However, the severe backlash from the Xbox community compelled the console giant to admit its mistake and reverse its decision. Furthermore, it led to free-to-play titles being playable on Xbox consoles without a Live Account. Apparently, these developments have further motivated other communities to stand up to their respective developers. One of the most noticeable names on this list is the Call of Duty community. It seems like players around the world now look forward to collectively addressing Activision on several glaring issues. Call of Duty Warzone has had several game-breaking glitches [https://www.essentiallysports.com/esports-news-redditor-uncovers-yet-another-game-breaking-bug-in-call-of-duty-warzone/] since its release, and the demands for an anti-cheat haven’t made any? difference yet. On the flip side, Black Ops Cold War’s strong skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) system, unbalanced score streak system, and aim assist have also been highly debated topics. Last, but not least, there have been regular complaints regarding Modern Warfare’s meta, sound design, and maps. ALSO READ-? Call of Duty BOCW: Best Weapons and Loadouts for Zombies [https://www.essentiallysports.com/call-of-duty-bocw-best-weapons-and-loadouts-for-zombies-esports-news/] A post on r/blackopscoldwar [https://www.reddit.com/r/blackopscoldwar/] talked about these issues and requested the community to come together: The response to the aforementioned Reddit post contains several contrasting opinions. While a lot of fans agree with it, others question the viability of this approach. This faction believes that Call of Duty Modern Warfare, and Black Ops Cold War have been highly profitable [https://www.essentiallysports.com/call-of-duty-modern-warfare-becomes-the-highest-grossing-premium-title-of-2020-esports-news/] for the franchise, and it’s unlikely that the developers will make any changes. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war-multiplayer-maps-header.jpg] CAN CONTENT CREATORS HELP CALL OF DUTY FANS TO PULL OFF SOMETHING LIKE XBOX USERS? A ray of hope for the Call of Duty community is popular entities giving constructive criticism to the developers. This includes pros like Formal and content creators like SypherPK who have openly talked about SBMM in BOCW and hacking in Warzone, respectively. Most recently, YouTuber Blame Truth ? The CODfather even claimed that Treyarch has abandoned [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKOqWBDrD0Y&feature=emb_title] Black Ops Cold War altogether. Activision hasn’t been too interactive with the fans regarding these issues up till now. To worsen the situation, developers like Infinity Ward and Treyarch have also followed a similar path [https://www.essentiallysports.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war-is-full-of-problems-while-treyarch-remains-silent-news-esports/]. ALSO READ- Call of Duty Warzone: Human Anti-Cheat 100T Tommey Strikes Again [https://www.essentiallysports.com/call-of-duty-warzone-human-anti-cheat-100t-tommey-strikes-again-news-esports/] Hence, it is safe to assume that the last resort to bring about the desired changes in the latest Call of Duty titles requires the casual players, pros and content creators to pose a united front. 

Microsoft recently reversed its price hike decision owing to the backlash from Xbox users. Will the CoD community tread the same path now?

<h3 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9">Call of Duty: History and Sale in 2022</h3>
Over the span of two decades, the phrase 'Call of Duty' has become a household name. Starting in 2003, Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision.

The franchise has given rise to some of the most popular FPS titles, with Infinity Ward and Treyarch developing most of them. Sledgehammer Games and other studios have also contributed to developing some titles. Fans are greeted with a new Call of Duty game every year, with the above-mentioned studios rotating their role as the primary developer.

First-person shooter video game Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II was created by Infinity Ward and released by Activision in 2022. It serves as the nineteenth entry in the overall Call of Duty franchise and is a follow-up to the 2019 reboot. For the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, it was published on October 28, 2022.

The game takes place in a realistic, contemporary environment, just like its predecessor. The campaign centers on the pursuit of terrorist Hassan Zyani, who is in possession of American-made ballistic missiles, by multinational special operations unit Task Force 141 and Mexican Special Forces unit Los Vaqueros. Modern Warfare II continues to offer cross-platform multiplayer thanks to a new iteration of the IW engine.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II became the fastest-selling Call of Duty game of all time. The game grossed $800 million in its first three days and $1 billion in 10 days, surpassing the series' previous record holders, 2011's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and 2012's Black Ops II. It is the best-selling game of 2022 in the United States.
In the UK, Modern Warfare II became the best-selling game in its first week of release. In Japan, the PlayStation 4 version of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II sold 24,371 physical copies during its release week, making it the second best-selling game in the country for the week. The Sony PlayStation 5 version sold 17,710 physical copies in Japan in the same week, ranking sixth among video game sales across all formats.
In the fourth quarter of 2022, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II had the biggest opening quarter in franchise history, earning $1.85 billion. This is $694 million more than last year in the last quarter of 2021.

<h3><strong>Call of Duty: Warzone</strong></h3>
On March 10, 2020, Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and Activision released a free-to-play battle royale extension of 2019's Modern Warfare known as Warzone. Since its release, Call of Duty: Warzone has established itself as one of the most prominent battle royale titles.

Despite being a part of Modern Warfare, the battle royale extension does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the franchise's history, following the Blackout mode from 2018's Black Ops 4.

This battle royale features 150 players in a lobby, (200 in some limited-time modes) which is much more compared to the 100 players supported by other battle royale titles. Within the first month of its release, Warzone exceeded 50 million players and has kept gaining immense popularity ever since.
<h3><strong>Warzone 2.0</strong></h3>
Infinity Ward and Raven Software created the free-to-play battle royale video game Warzone 2.0. It is a follow-up to Call of Duty: Warzone from 2020.

The game supports cross-platform play and adds the DMZ extraction mode.
<h3><strong>Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War</strong></h3>
Black Ops Cold War is the newest iteration in the Call of Duty franchise. The game, jointly developed by Treyarch Studios and Raven Software, launched worldwide on November 13, 2020.

The gameplay takes place during the 80s when the Cold War was at its peak. In addition to bringing back the elements of the Black Ops subseries, popular characters from the subseries also make their return. Alex Mason, Jason Hudson, and Frank Woods come together to prevent a possible global war.

Black Ops Cold War is the seventeenth installment in the overall series and the sixth in the Black Ops series. In December 2020, the developers integrated Black Ops Cold War with Call of Duty Warzone.

Since its origination as a franchise, Call of Duty has earned more than $15 billion and has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide, as of May 2019.

<h2>Call of Duty Warzone 2022: Updates, System Requirements, and Mobile Version</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-541201" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210205225943/call-of-duty-warzone-screenshot-001.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Call of Duty: Warzone has established itself as of the most prominent battle royale games since releasing on March 10, 2020. It is a free-to-play battle royale developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software, with Activision acting as the publisher.

Warzone is part of the franchise's 2019 title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, the battle royale does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the Call of Duty franchise, following the Blackout mode from the 2018 title Black Ops 4.
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone Gameplay</h2>
Warzone hosts online multiplayer combat amongst up to 150 players in a match. This is significantly higher than the maximum player count of other titles in the genre. The players jump into a huge map called Verdansk, a fictional city roughly based on Donetsk, Ukraine.

Warzone features two main game modes, including Battle Royale and Plunder. While the game only featured BR Trios initially, Infinity Ward added the Solo, Duos, and Quads modes to their battle royale in post-launch updates.

Infinity Ward introduced a new in-game currency mechanic called Cash. Warzone's gameplay centers on searching supply boxes for weapons and Cash. Players can use their Cash at Buy Stations to buy back fallen teammates, Loadout drops, in-game Equipment, Field Upgrades, Killstreaks, etc.

They can also complete contracts that award instant in-game rewards, including loot, Cash, XP, and more. Moreover, Warzone implemented a new respawn mechanic. Once a player gets killed, they’ll find themselves in the Gulag. Here they must win a 1v1 round against another player to redeploy automatically. Otherwise, they will have to wait for their squadmates to purchase redeployment for them.
<h4>Warzone: Battle Royale and Plunder</h4>
The BR mode's gameplay is similar to other titles in the genre. Players jump out of a plane and land somewhere on Verdansk, armed with only a handgun. Once on the ground, they begin searching for weapons to fight off the rest of the players in the match and become the last man/squad standing as the playable zone constantly keeps shrinking.

Meanwhile, "Plunder" is a game mode entirely unique to Warzone and is based on the in-game currency. In this new mode, players have to gather the most Cash scattered around the map before time runs out.

Besides these two main game modes, Warzone has seen several other exciting limited-time modes since its launch. Some of those modes include BR Buy Backs, Blood Money, Warzone Rumble, Mini Royale, Juggernaut Royale, Armored Royale, and Zombies Royale.
<h2><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Important game settings and setup for COD: Warzone</span></h2>
In multiplayer games, success depends on a combination of skill and hardware performance. So enacting the following <a href="https://www.thegamer.com/call-duty-warzone-settings-improve-performance/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changes</a> may improve your overall gameplay experience.
<ul>
 	<li>Crossplay: This will allow players to game with people across a plethora of platforms. As such, differences in setups and performance can make or break the experience. So choose as per your preference.</li>
 	<li>Automatic Sprint: Warzone offers three settings for sprinting. Disabled, which leads to the character only sprinting when the button is pressed. Automatic Sprint, which makes the character immediately start sprinting upon movement. And Automatic Tactical Sprint, which does the same for tactical sprinting as the automatic sprint option. Players should choose according to their play styles.</li>
 	<li>Sensitivity: Jumping right into the gameplay without adjusting your sensitivity can cost you. As gameplay can be greatly improved and made to feel more responsive by adjusting this feature. Especially for players who use different sensitivity settings for each game.</li>
 	<li>Depleted Ammo Weapon Switch: This lets players immediately switch to their secondary weapon when their beginning weapon is depleted. It can be a boon in intense gunfights.</li>
 	<li>Square Mini Map: This is a lifesaver. Players who have the round mini map equipped have a limited area visible to them. The square map expands this. And it has no drawbacks.</li>
</ul>
<h2><span data-sheets-value="{" data-sheets-userformat="{">Story of COD: Warzone</span></h2>

<ul>
 	<li>Check the map before dropping: It may sound unimportant, but this step can determine how the rest of your playthrough would go. From checking for the shrinking circle to determining where you would encounter most resistance. This is an essential step.</li>
 	<li>Drop faster: There's a nifty trick to hastening your arrival on the battlefield. Players can deploy their parachute upon dropping from the plane, however, they can cut the chord to drop faster and re-deploy the chute before landing. As many times as they like.</li>
 	<li>Don't sit on cash: There are no bonuses in BR games for hoarding your cash. Its worth is only measurable in terms of how well you use it in the round. Ensure you use it on the Buy Stations to give yourself an edge as opposed to lugging it around.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Warzone on mobile</h2>
<a href="https://www.techradar.com/in/news/call-of-duty-warzone-on-mobile">TechRadar</a> pointed out two key pieces of evidence that indicate a mobile port of Call of Duty: Warzone coming in the future.

In May 2020, Activision's CEO confirmed the company was working on publishing more mobile games. The community was quick to emphasize the plural "games", suggesting Warzone Mobile could be on the way.

Meanwhile, the second hint is from Reddit, with the creation of the r/WarzoneMobile sub-Reddit. The community lead for the COD Mobile team is the moderator for it, and the forum seems official rather than fan-created.

<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone download</h2>
Within two months of release, Warzone downloads reached the 60 million mark. Since then, the game has continued growing and has become one of the most popular battle royales in the gaming market.

Warzone is available to download for free on PlayStation4, Xbox One, and PC. For those who already own Modern Warfare, downloading the battle royale is straightforward. Warzone is available as an option between multiplayer and Spec Ops upon entering the main menu.

Meanwhile, non-owners on consoles can visit their respective digital stores and search for "Warzone". Those on Desktop require installing Blizzard's Battle.net app and registering to play the game. Warzone will appear in the games list as an option on the left side. Since the BR includes many Modern Warfare assets, its file size is between 83-101 GB.
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone Free Multiplayer Weekends</h2>
Throughout the life span of Call of Duty: Warzone, Infinity Ward and Activision have rolled out Free Multiplayer Weekends. During this particular time span, free-to-play Warzone users get free access to the multiplayer content exclusive to Modern Warfare.

Usually, a special playlist becomes available within the standalone battle royale, Warzone. The last such Free Multiplayer Weekend was in early August 2020, as part of Modern Warfare Season Five.

Call of Duty Warzone

Call of Duty Warzone 2022: Updates, System Requirements, and Mobile Version Call of Duty: Warzone has established itself as of the most prominent battle royale games since releasing on March 10, 2020. It is a free-to-play battle royale developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software, with Activision acting as the publisher. Warzone is part of the franchise&#8217;s 2019 title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, the battle royale does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the Call of Duty franchise, following the Blackout mode from the 2018 title Black Ops 4. Call of Duty: Warzone Gameplay Warzone hosts online multiplayer combat amongst up to 150 players in a match. This is significantly higher than the maximum player count of other titles in the genre. The players jump into a huge map called Verdansk, a fictional city roughly based on Donetsk, Ukraine. Warzone features two main game modes, including Battle Royale and Plunder. While the game only featured BR Trios initially, Infinity Ward added the Solo, Duos, and Quads modes to their battle royale in post-launch updates. Infinity Ward introduced a new in-game currency mechanic called Cash. Warzone&#8217;s gameplay centers on searching supply boxes for weapons and Cash. Players can use their Cash at Buy Stations to buy back fallen teammates, Loadout drops, in-game Equipment, Field Upgrades, Killstreaks, etc. They can also complete contracts that award instant in-game rewards, including loot, Cash, XP, and more. Moreover, Warzone implemented a new respawn mechanic. Once a player gets killed, they’ll find themselves in the Gulag. Here they must win a 1v1 round against another player to redeploy automatically. Otherwise, they will have to wait for their squadmates to purchase redeployment for them. Warzone: Battle Royale and Plunder The BR mode&#8217;s gameplay is similar to other titles in the genre. Players jump out of a plane and land somewhere on Verdansk, armed with only a handgun. Once on the ground, they begin searching for weapons to fight off the rest of the players in the match and become the last man/squad standing as the playable zone constantly keeps shrinking. Meanwhile, &#8220;Plunder&#8221; is a game mode entirely unique to Warzone and is based on the in-game currency. In this new mode, players have to gather the most Cash scattered around the map before time runs out. Besides these two main game modes, Warzone has seen several other exciting limited-time modes since its launch. Some of those modes include BR Buy Backs, Blood Money, Warzone Rumble, Mini Royale, Juggernaut Royale, Armored Royale, and Zombies Royale. Important game settings and setup for COD: Warzone In multiplayer games, success depends on a combination of skill and hardware performance. So enacting the following changes may improve your overall gameplay experience. Crossplay: This will allow players to game with people across a plethora of platforms. As such, differences in setups and performance can make or break the experience. So choose as per your preference. Automatic Sprint: Warzone offers three settings for sprinting. Disabled, which leads to the character only sprinting when the button is pressed. Automatic Sprint, which makes the character immediately start sprinting upon movement. And Automatic Tactical Sprint, which does the same for tactical sprinting as the automatic sprint option. Players should choose according to their play styles. Sensitivity: Jumping right into the gameplay without adjusting your sensitivity can cost you. As gameplay can be greatly improved and made to feel more responsive by adjusting this feature. Especially for players who use different sensitivity settings for each game. Depleted Ammo Weapon Switch: This lets players immediately switch to their secondary weapon when their beginning weapon is depleted. It can be a boon in intense gunfights. Square Mini Map: This is a lifesaver. Players who have the round mini map equipped have a limited area visible to them. The square map expands this. And it has no drawbacks. Story of COD: Warzone The in-game terrorist organisation Al-Qatala took a death blow after the events of Spec Ops. However, they struck the critical weakness of the armistice, its structure made up of opposing enemy factions. After an incident downs important cargo containing a chemical weapon, another faction war erupts between the Allegiance and Coalition members for ownership of the weapon. With the Armistice in disarray Al-Qatala takes advantage of the situation and smuggles a nuclear weapon into Verdansk. The conflict escalated into an all-out war and not even Captain Price&#8217;s trusted operators can handle it on their own. 2022 updates for COD:Warzone Call of Duty: Warzone is set to receive a flood of post launch content in 2022. The Season 2 Reloaded package includes new modes, operators, and more. Rebirth island&#8217;s altered alongside several points of interest, and a whole new POI called Dock is introduced.
