Available both in Modern Warfare and as a standalone release, it features the usual battle royale staples - a huge amount of players flying into a huge map, with the team left standing as the winner - as well as a few new ideas of its own.

Call Of Duty Release Order
What is included in Call of Duty Warzone at launch?
Below you'll find some of the things we expect to be in Call of Duty Warzone when it launches:
- Each match will have 150 players and you'll have the choice of three different game modes - Solo, Duos and Trios.
- A huge map for you to explore, which will include locations, such as Overgrown, from previous COD games.
- A variety of vehicles that will help you cross the terrain. This will also include two-man vehicles, so you won't accidentally leave your teammate behind.
- The Gulag offers a new way to respawn. If you die in Warzone, you'll find yourself trapped in the Gulag; here you'll have to win a one-on-one fight with another player to return to the match. You'll also be able to watch other players fight in the Gulag and possibly stun them by throwing rocks.
- Plunder - Warzone's in-game currency, which you collect by completing a variety of tasks, such as killing other players. You can even use the ATMs scattered across the map to store Plunder and access it in other matches.
- Buy Stations where you can spend Plunder on a variety of Killstreaks and respawn tokens for when you can no longer use the Gulag.
- A Ping System for players who either don't like or can't use voice chat.
