GamingTrend: 90 / 100 by T.K. Hale
With all the different battle royale games on the market, all seeming to offer the same experiences, Warzone might give the most realistic, precise, and investing performance of them all, but it will need to stay innovative. Sounds of ricocheting bullets, footsteps of the enemy, and a highly detailed world keep it a cut above its competition. I easily found this to be one of my favorite battle royale games to date.
GamingBolt: 8 / 10 by Martin Patino
Both Call of Duty and battle royale fans will definitely find Warzone to be a refreshing and interesting gameplay experience.

Call of Duty: Warzone Description
Call of Duty: Warzone is a free royal battle shooter based on Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. The game offers a huge map, two game modes and a number of interesting gameplay mechanics. It was developed by experienced developers from Infinity Ward studio (authors of many other Call of Duty games). The publisher is Activision.
Plot
Call of Duty: Warzone takes place in the world known from Modern Warfare - more specifically in the city of Verdansk.
Mechanics
Call of Duty: Warzone is a classic shooter, in which the action is observed from the first person perspective ( FPS).We play the role of a soldiers and the action takes place on a vast location, where you can find many interesting places known from previous parts of the series. We'll find a dam or a sawmill here. It is worth noting that all buildings are hand-designed, making each one unique.
Up to 150 people can take part in a single game simultaneously. Players are dropped on the map with a parachute (the drop point can be selected) and then try to achieve their goals depending on the chosen game mode. Equipment plays an important role - both weapons and vehicles (e.g. different kinds of cars and even helicopters) - which allow you to gain an advantage over your rivals. We can find or buy equipment in special places.
During the game, players can also achieve additional goals - the contracts that have different requirements (e.g. to find packages or do reconnaissance at a specific location). By completing the task, we gain additional equipment or money for which we can buy it.
Game modes
In Call of Duty: Warzone, we can only play with other players. The gameplay is based on network multiplayer mode.
We have two game modes at our disposal: Battle Royale and Plunder. The first game mode focuses on eliminating other players on an increasingly shrinking map (this is due to the use of lethal combat gas). We compete in three-person teams. The game ends when someone manages to eliminate all enemies. Members of one team can resurrect their comrades by spending money. After the first death we also have to deal with quite unique mechanics - we get to the gulag, in which we fight in a 1-on-1 duel for the possibility to return to the main part of the game.
In the second module our goal is to collect money scattered around the location and offered for contracts. We can also eliminate other players to take away their cash.
Technical aspects
Call of Duty: Warzone has a nice, three-dimensional graphic design. The graphics are quite realistic and well reflect the characteristics of contemporary armed conflicts. We have here believable looking and animated characters, as well as places that could exist in the real world.
Other information
Call of Duty: Warzone is a free-to-play title - the developers earn money through an optional micropayment system.
It is worth noting that Warzone progression system is coupled with Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - if we have this production, we can use the prizes won in both games (in Multiplayer mode and Spec Ops in MW). The game also supports cross-play function - owners of different platforms can play together.
