FULL STORY ======================================================================

Call of Duty Warzone 2 is rolling out some major changes to the battle
royales circles.

While the original Warzone followed the standard battle royale formula in which players are penned in to an ever-shrinking area, forcing them to bunch up Warzone 2 is taking a different approach. As revealed during Call of Duty Next , players wont just be funneled into a single circle, but multiple areas that will eventually merge.

The circle's been a staple of Battle Royales, it's really hard to move away from it, said game director Jack OHara, so we talked about What could we do
to mix things up?

We've got this new mechanic where the circle can actually split, almost like
a cell splits, into two, three or even four circles, and then those circles close down. What it does is segregates teams and you have these micro battles in those circles. At a certain point, those circles merge. Directed and

Its not just a superficial change. While players are initially split between circles, the moment they come together will make for a climactic final
battle.

At a certain point youre like Ok, weve cleared out our circle, we think were good. Then those circles merge, they come back together and you have this
very directed fight, said OHara.

You're gearing up in buildings, thinking Here we go, it's about to get confidence. As soon as those circles hit, you have that final fight. Its another twist in the gameplay that we feel is a cool world event that would happen.

You wont have to wait long to experience that for yourself. Warzone 2s
release date is right around the corner. Weve already had a good look at the battle royales new map , which makes effective use of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 s improved aquatic gunplay. WATCH Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer reveal
