Ever since it was initially revealed to the entire world, nearly two decades ago, Activision’s Call of Duty saga has fascinated millions of gaming lovers. While hardcore players of the series have witnessed endless entries throughout the years, recent offerings have broadened the perspective of all the fans for how they see this action franchise.

In the past, Call of Duty had basically a simple format of churning out a single-player-based Campaign title each year. Along with that, it used to comprise of a Multiplayer mode for fans who were fond of engaging in online battles. However, the changes in the video game industry, in recent years, have also influenced the way Activision operates this beloved and blockbuster series. Hence, nearly three years ago, it also joined the now-famous-trend of making live-service battle royale titles, to give a free-to-play experience to those who can’t always purchase a brand new premium installment from the publisher.

2022’s Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2 are prime examples of this approach being used by Activision since 2020. And it will likely continue for a long time in the future as well. When it comes to the currently available entries, however, they are very unique in terms of offering different experience to the players, despite being attached to the CoD brand. A casual player who’s just fond of gaming might assume that they are part of a single title – but that’s not the case at all.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II explained

Firstly talking about the game developed by Infinity Ward, it is a huge AAA title which was originally released on October 28th, 2022. Prior to that, the makers made it available via an open beta phase where players got a chance to taste what it would feel like. Upon getting its official debut, it arrived with a single-player Campaign mode.

The latter offers various gameplay modes for the fans to explore different maps in dynamic settings according, bound by certain rules.

There’s a fresh mode as well called Raids where a user needs to have a team of three in order to complete challenging objectives. The series revealed this towards the end of 2022 in December with Season 1 Reloaded update.

The current Warzone 2 explained

Speaking of Warzone 2, then it is a free-to-play battle royale experience. Simply put, it is available as a non-paid Call of Duty game that any player can download and enjoy. It doesn’t require the purchase of the base title, which is Modern Warfare II.

Being developed by Raven Software in collaboration with Infinity Ward and other studios, it’s also got various perks for the users. Features like Proximity Chat, Circle Collapse, and Vehicle Manoeuvring are key highlights, among other additions. There are different modes like BR Solos, Duos, Trios, and Quads for players to have fun according to their preference. On top of all this, there’s a Mini BR and 3rd person mode as well (a first for the series).

How are Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2 different?

Warzone 2 adds an extra flavor to its battle royale setup with another unique mode called DMZ. Such kind of content was not present during the time of the original Warzone that was launched in 2020. Hence, the combination of a battle royale setup and an extraction-based mode in DMZ makes Warzone 2 a vastly different offering compared to not just its predecessor but also Modern Warfare II itself.

It will be interesting to see how the developers will keep both these entries appealing enough in the coming future since they are just few months old. Activision’s latest games are now available on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. Which is your personal favorite title among these two and why? Let us know in the comments down below.
