<h2>Call of Duty 2021: Black Ops Cold War, Warzone, and Modern Warfare</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-587968" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210321014806/K25hmMiqGfy99J7VDPyteX.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />
<h2>Call of Duty: History and state in 2021</h2>
Over the span of two decades, the phrase 'Call of Duty' has become a household name. Starting in 2003, Call of Duty is a first-person shooter video game franchise published by Activision.

The franchise has given rise to some of the most popular FPS titles, with Infinity Ward and Treyarch developing most of them. Sledgehammer Games and other studios have also contributed to developing some titles. Fans are greeted with a new Call of Duty game every year, with the above-mentioned studios rotating their role as the primary developer.

Initially, the focus was on creating games with a World War II setting. However, the series subsequently transitioned into games centered around the Cold War, modern and futuristic worlds, and even outer space.

Since its origination as a franchise, Call of Duty has earned more than $15 billion and has sold more than 300 million copies worldwide, as of May 2019. This makes it the most successful video game franchise created in the United States, and the sixth highest-grossing video game franchise of all time.
<h2>Popular running Call of Duty titles</h2>
<h4>Modern Warfare (2019)</h4>
The 2019 title is a reboot of the Modern Warfare series and also the sixteenth main entry into the overall Call of Duty series. Developed by Infinity Ward and published by Activision, Modern Warfare released globally on October 25, 2019, for PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

The gameplay takes place in a modern-day and realistic setting. Although set in a distinct timeline than the other Modern Warfare games, several popular characters from the Modern Warfare subseries including Capt. John Price made their return.
<h4>Warzone</h4>
On March 10, 2020, Infinity Ward, Raven Software, and Activision released a free-to-play battle royale extension of 2019's Modern Warfare known as Warzone. Since its release, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/call-of-duty-warzone/">Call of Duty: Warzone</a> has established itself as of the most prominent battle royale titles.

Despite being a part of Modern Warfare, the battle royale extension does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the franchise's history, following the Blackout mode from 2018's Black Ops 4.

This battle royale features 150 players in a lobby, (200 in some limited-time modes) which is much more compared to the 100 players supported by other battle royale titles. Within the first month of its release, Warzone exceeded 50 million players and has kept gaining immense popularity ever since.
<h4> Black Ops Cold War</h4>
<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/call-of-duty-black-ops-cold-war/">Black Ops Cold War</a> is the newest iteration in the Call of Duty franchise. The game, jointly developed by Treyarch Studios and Raven Software, launched worldwide on November 13, 2020.

The gameplay takes place during the 80s when the Cold War was at its peak. In addition to bringing back the elements of the Black Ops subseries, popular characters from the subseries also make their return. Alex Mason, Jason Hudson, and Frank Woods come together to prevent a possible global war.

Black Ops Cold War is the seventeenth installment in the overall series and the sixth in the Black Ops series. In December 2020, the developers integrated Black Ops Cold War with Call of Duty Warzone.

<h2>Call of Duty Warzone 2021: Updates, System Requirements, and Mobile Version</h2>
<img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-541201" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20210205225943/call-of-duty-warzone-screenshot-001.jpg" alt="" width="1920" height="1080" />

Call of Duty: Warzone has established itself as of the most prominent battle royale games since releasing on March 10, 2020. It is a free-to-play battle royale developed by Infinity Ward and Raven Software, with Activision acting as the publisher.

Warzone is part of the franchise's 2019 title Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. However, the battle royale does not require the purchase of the campaign and multiplayer. Warzone is the second battle royale in the Call of Duty franchise, following the Blackout mode from the 2018 title Black Ops 4.
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone Gameplay</h2>
Warzone hosts online multiplayer combat among up to 150 players in a match. This is significantly higher than the maximum player count of other titles in the genre.  The players jump into a huge map called Verdansk, a fictional city roughly based on Donetsk, Ukraine.

Warzone features two main game modes, including Battle Royale and Plunder. While the game only featured BR Trios initially, Infinity Ward added the Solo, Duos, and Quads modes to their battle royale in post-launch updates.

Infinity Ward introduced a new in-game currency mechanic called Cash. Warzone's gameplay centers on searching supply boxes for weapons and Cash. Players can use their Cash at Buy Stations to buy back fallen teammates, Loadout drops, in-game Equipment, Field Upgrades, Killstreaks, etc.

They can also complete contracts that award instant in-game rewards, including loot, Cash, XP, and more. Moreover, Warzone implemented a new respawn mechanic.  Once a player gets killed, they’ll find themselves in the Gulag. Here they must win a 1v1 round against another player to redeploy automatically. Otherwise, they will have to wait for their squadmates to purchase redeployment for them.
<h4>Warzone: Battle Royale and Plunder</h4>
The BR mode's gameplay is similar to other titles in the genre. Players jump out of a plane and land somewhere on Verdansk, armed with only a handgun. Once on the ground, they begin searching for weapons to fight off the rest of the players in the match and become the last man/squad standing as the playable zone constantly keeps shrinking.

Meanwhile, "Plunder" is a game mode entirely unique to Warzone and is based on the in-game currency. In this new mode, players have to gather the most Cash scattered around the map before time runs out.

Besides these two main game modes, Warzone has seen several other exciting limited-time modes since its launch. Some of those modes include BR Buy Backs, Blood Money, Warzone Rumble, Mini Royale, Juggernaut Royale, Armored Royale, and Zombies Royale.
<h2>Warzone on mobile</h2>
<a href="https://www.techradar.com/in/news/call-of-duty-warzone-on-mobile">TechRadar</a> pointed out two key pieces of evidence that indicate a mobile port of Call of Duty: Warzone coming in the future.

In May 2020, Activision's CEO confirmed the company was working on publishing more mobile games. The community was quick to emphasize the plural "games", suggesting Warzone Mobile could be on the way.

Meanwhile, the second hint is from Reddit, with the creation of the r/WarzoneMobile sub-Reddit. The community lead for the COD Mobile team is the moderator for it, and the forum seems official rather than fan-created.
<div class="slot-double-height-10-496" data-feat-ref="bordeaux-feat-id-65">The first post in r/Warzone Mobile was from the community lead. It detailed a job listing intended for a Call of Duty: Warzone mobile port. Activision hiring team members for developing the mobile port strongly points to the game being on its way.</div>
<div data-feat-ref="bordeaux-feat-id-65"></div>
<div class="slot-double-height-10-496" data-feat-ref="bordeaux-feat-id-65">However, it also implies that the mobile version is far from complete, and fans would probably wait until 2021 and even beyond for anything concrete.</div>
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone download</h2>
Within two months of release, Warzone downloads reached the 60 million mark. Since then, the game has continued growing and has become one of the most popular battle royales in the gaming market.

Warzone is available to download for free on PlayStation4, Xbox One, and PC. For those who already own Modern Warfare, downloading the batter royale is straightforward. Warzone is available as an option between multiplayer and Spec Ops upon entering the main menu.

Meanwhile, non-owners on consoles can visit their respective digital stores and search for "Warzone". Those on Desktop require installing Blizzard's Battle.net app and registering to play the game. Warzone will appear in the games list as an option on the left side. Since the BR includes many Modern Warfare assets, its file size is between 83-101 GB.
<h2>Call of Duty: Warzone Free Multiplayer Weekends</h2>
Throughout the life span of Call of Duty: Warzone, Infinity Ward and Activision have rolled out Free Multiplayer Weekends. During this particular time span, free-to-play Warzone users get free access to the multiplayer content exclusive to Modern Warfare.

Usually, a special playlist becomes available within the standalone battle royale, Warzone. The last such Free Multiplayer Weekend was in early August 2020, as part of Modern Warfare Season Five.
