Warzone 2 is a free-to-play Battle Royale game developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software. A sequel to 2020’s Warzone, Warzone 2 is a part of the game Modern Warfare II and came out Nov. 16 of last year. 

It has done some things better, like adding in proximity chat. Proximity chat allows players to chat with each other via mics when they’re within range of each other.

I really like this feature because you can do so much, like meet new people. You can also ask for ammo or ask for some money if you need some. What some of the other people do to mess with the enemies by playing scary sounds in the mic to get funny reactions or make the enemies run away. Some people also play music in the mic to have the enemies sing along or tell them to turn it off. However, one thing I like in Warzone more than Warzone 2 is the movement. In Warzone, you can slide cancel, which means you can stop a slide by doing a certain button combo and it makes you go a lot faster. They took that out in Warzone 2 and made it so you have to play a lot smarter. Now, I like the fact that you have to play smart, but there’s something fun about sliding super fast around a person and they can’t shoot you but you can shoot them. 

While slide canceling may be fun, it became a big skill issue. Not everyone can slide cancel, and if they can’t, they won’t really stand a chance against people who can. In Warzone 2, they took out slide canceling and made players have to think about how to get to a safe place but not be in the open. 

When Warzone 2 first came out, you couldn’t run and put plates on at the same time. Plates are the armor you find around the map. That meant if you needed to armor up and run away from someone, you couldn’t. You had to walk or stay in a place, or go into a building to plate up. 

In the newest update they added the feature to plate up when you run, and it made plating up a lot better. Also, when the game first came out, you could only have two plates but you could find a vest that would let you have three plates. In Warzone everyone had three plates to start off with. In the last update on Feb. 15, they gave everyone a three-plate armor vest. 

In my opinion, the one thing they still have to figure out is weapon balancing. They need to stop making two to three weapons the best in the game and make all the weapons the same. They don’t need to make each weapon do the same damage, but they should all be around the same stats. 

Warzone 2 is a seven out of ten.
