Just been confirmed by the Raven dev they have talking about the next iteration of Warzone. Even if you don’t have a pistol in your loadout, you’ll still have access to one when in the water.
Edit: [Here’s a CharlieIntel tweet confirming + stim boosts are back.](https://x.com/charlieintel/status/1709988338252583413?s=46&t=EAnT7vyzLICJisV_-boDlw)

Absolute W. They were never going to remove water combat so this is really the best compromise they could’ve made
Good change, probably the best they could have made without removing it entirely.
Might as well use this for a general “things you’ve noticed from CoD NEXT thread”:
– they backpack system is a hybrid of WZ1 and WZ2. You now auto store a stack of every ammo type whether you have that gun on you or not, just like WZ1, but it doesn’t take slots in your backpack. You have 5 slots in your backpack for plates and utility like current WZ2
– gasmasks are auto put on as soon as you pick one up. Not sure if this is a bug or a way to finally remove the gas mask animation issues? Does hurt your visibility though so kind of annoying. You can manually stow it to take it off, not sure if it will then auto come back on when you touch gas
– I don’t think the Tac Stance thing from multiplayer will be in WZ. I’m sure the button prompt for it was the down arrow on the d pad which is still how you access the backpack in WZ. So evidently not all the movement changes carry across
– sniping is back
This cod next is farming Ws man, I’m hyped
STIMS ARE BACK LETS GOOOOOOOOOO
ALL OF THESE ARE W
I hope the stim boosts are a nerfed variant
Wait is warzone 2 gonna go away like wz1 did?
FINALLY. Now the water rats won’t have an advantage running and hiding under water. Now they will get their cheeks clapped like on ground.
Big Ws all around.
Overall, what we are seeing here is basically what WZ2 should have been all along. All the old features, modes, changes and qol things that came during caldera combined with the new features and qol features of WZ2, on the new engine.
It took them a year to bring everything back and we had to wait until IW is finally no longer in control, but we are finally here.
Another year of everyone buying into the hype lmao. See y’all in 3 months bitching about the game…again.
warzone 3 💀
That’s how it should be, water combat right now is corny as fuck and promotes ratting
A shitty pistol should be the ONLY pistol available in the water
It’s not warzone 3 guys. It’s an updated warzone 2.
Let’s just get of the water entirely. Or make it not bulletproof at least
Mostly great stuff all over the place today, but worth expressing a few concerns to balance it out.
The new gulag looks great, but the chance of it being an NVG gulag is a big L. It’s terrible in multiplayer, stop trying to make it a thing!
Red dots back on the minimap for firing unsuppressed weapons. That’s a huge W for multiplayer, but I’m actually not sure how I feel about it for Warzone. One thing removing the red dots in WZ2 did was promote a lot more build diversity than we had in WZ1 where every build was identikit and the monolithic suppressor (or equivalent on the later game weapons) was a 100% necessary attachment for every AR. It also meant you were at a much bigger disadvantage if you were regaining and had to use unsuppressed floor loot weapons. Maybe I will come around to the idea again, I dunno, but I think a battle royale setting suits red dots being UAVs only a lot moreso than multiplayer.
One thing I keep seeing a few of the streamers mention is that there is a significant delay between completing a slide cancel and being able to sprint again (not just tac sprint). You’re almost stuck in place for a second after slide cancelling it seems. Hopefully they tweak that to make it more fluid to fit the direction of travel.
Similarly, bunny hops are still cement boots terrible. Hopefully they give them a bit more bounce to make them more useful.
Everything is trending in the right direction and it sounds like Sledgehammer are a lot more likely to take on board feedback than IW were after the previous CoD NEXT so I’m really optimistic for the next year.
Thank fuck….the absolute dumbest mechanic in the game….you basically have to run a pistol on vondel or get fucked in 9/10 end games
