Third-person playlists will be added to Call of Duty: Warzone 2 in the near future, and this feature should give the title a competitive edge against rival battle royale shooters. The multiplayer genre, popularized by games like PUBG and Fortnite, centers around large groups of players struggling to survive in a constantly shrinking game area. Warzone 2 has finally arrived as a successor to the original Call of Duty: Warzone, and additional features promise to make the experience even more robust in the near future.
As detailed in the Warzone 2 gameplay changes right now, and a mid-season update will introduce an even more impactful feature in the future.
Warzone 2 Players Can Fully Appreciate Their Cosmetics
It has been announced that Warzone 2 will introduce third-person playlists during Season 1, and this new feature should help the title sur competitors like PUBG and Fortnite. The exciting shift in perspective promises to fundamentally change the battle royale shooter's combat by creating different tactics and an altered gameplay feel. While the exact release date of these playlists has not been specified, third-person combat will apparently arrive before the start of Season 2. It may seem like a small change, but bringing third-person to Warzone 2 will be a major improvement.
Many titles that specialize in battle royale gameplay, like PUBG and Fortnite, utilize a third-person camera rather than a first-person perspective. This is because battle royale titles often use cosmetic items and weapons as a form of currency or progression, and these bonuses are only really visible from a third-person angle. While Warzone players could see their gear at the start and end of each match, it was impossible to see most of their equipment during actual combat. The third-person playlists coming to Warzone 2 will change that, allowing players to ire their hard-earned items throughout every match.
The Call of Duty franchise is incredibly popular, but Warzone has stiff competition in the form of rivals like Fortnite and PUBG. Thanks to the introduction of a third-person camera, Warzone 2 may be able to challenge other battle royale games by letting players constantly ire the cosmetic gear they acquire. This will give fans more incentive to purchase unique equipment, helping Warzone 2 compete with its distinguished competition.
