Critic Reviews for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0
The heights of Warzone 2’s combat and stunning map design are held down by a rocky launch rife with issues.
Call of Duty Warzone 2.0's revamp is reinvigorating thanks to the social fun of proximity chat and the excellent new DMZ extraction mode.
New additions are fresh for the battle royale, while overhauls to some of Warzone classic features feels like a step backwards.
Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a free-to-play shooter that innovates and renews the gaming experience of the previous chapter, adding many new features and changes especially focused on gameplay. The result is certainly good, even if it lacks in originality.

Warzone 2.0 tries to cater to a wider audience by borrowing ideas from its competition, but it delivers a hodgepodge of ideas that seems to forget what made the original Warzone so iconic.
Warzone 2.0 is every bit the sequel you hoped it would be. While minor improvements could still be useful, Al Mazrah is arguably the best map to ever grace the Call of Duty battle royale experience. The tactical pacing is a welcome change, DMZ is a revelation for the casual space, and it's all built on the best gunplay in first-person shooters. Infinity Ward has knocked it out of the park.
It appears Warzone 2 is off to a very solid start. It’s worth mentioning there are some technical issues, with Al Mazrah’s huge map taking a little while to load, and the occasional stuttering (mainly on PC), but all-in-all, it feels more stable than Warzone 1 did during its rougher periods. Al Mazrah might just be 2023’s hottest destination if this early taste is anything to go by.
Overall, Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 is a better product than its predecessor in almost every way.
