The brand new Call of Duty installments in Modern Warfare II and Warzone 2 have succeeded in swaying most of the gaming lovers ever since they were launched more than a month ago.

However, it seems like the two titles, especially Warzone 2, is going through some tough situation right now. That’s because of a recently released mid-season update that was rolled out to offer great content to Call of Duty players. But many of them are not happy with the end result, especially with the newly introduced mode in the battle royale, which looks like an exact copy of Rocket League.

Call of Duty fans are disappointed with the Warzone Cup mode

Activision recently revealed the mid-season update in Season 1 Reloaded. It boasted of numerous perks for the fans, including a free Multiplayer weekend to enjoy Modern Warfare II. When it comes to Warzone 2, the developers decided to offer a unique football mode, which is almost inspired by the popular Rocket League title from Psyonix.

In Rocket League, players get to experience a vehicular football game. It features two teams trying to score goals with the help of rocket-powered cars. Now coming back to Call of Duty Warzone 2, it seems like the Warzone Cup is nearly identical to Rocket League. Operators ride action vehicles, as they try to hit a giant ball into their opponent’s net. This limited time mode will be available till December 23rd.

Call of Duty Fandom Is Awestruck as Warzone 2 Streamer Becomes the First Nuke Champion in 2022’s Battle Royale

One can say that the idea behind revealing the Warzone Cup was perhaps due to the ongoing FIFA World Cup 2022 in Qatar. Well, that makes total sense, to celebrate the tournament in this fashion. However, Call of Duty fans are not happy with this Winter gift at all. In fact, they even called out the devs for copy-pasting Rocket League and moving away from the main objective of the action franchise.

“This is not call of duty. Focus on what you know and what you use to be good at. Quit using copy-paste from other games,” wrote one frustrated user on Twitter.
