Warzone Season 3 introduces new Battle Royale Casual Mode and fresh elements into the battle royale experience. The newly-introduced mode is a hybrid training ground that neatly fits between the Warzone Bootcamp tutorial and high-gamer-player-traditional immersive lobbies performing Call of Duty 's battle royale.
The setup: A Battle Royale with a twist
Set apart from a standard Warzone match constituted with 100 players above flaming for supremacy, Battle Royale Casual Mode allows for:
Why does this matter?Call of Duty's battle royale has always had high barriers to learning, new players find themselves pitted against veterans who have mastered movement, positioning, and shooting mechanics. Casual Mode, as the name suggests, should ease that transition by providing a gradual introduction to combat against seasoned competitors rather than throwing players straight into a fight against pros. Bots operate in predictable combat scenarios for players to practice engagements, test new weapons, and develop game sense. For these reasons, it could prove to be a game changer for players on the fence about jumping into standard Warzone lobbies.
A training ground or a permanent mode?The crux of the question regarding Battle Royale Casual Mode is, will it be an enduring offering or will it just be used as a temporary training mode? On the positive side of things, it does serve its intended purpose of preparing fresh players by instilling a healthy sense of confidence before they jump into competitive play. On the negative side again, a few seasoned players might simply consider it as an alternative whenever they feel like having a laid-back version of the battle royale that does not test them against the highest-skill lobbies.
Also to consider is whether the difficulties of the AI enemies will increase according to the improvements of the players. If they remain utterly predictable, the seasoned players will get rid of them rather quickly. But, the more evolved AI becomes, the more capable their acts will be of entertaining players in Casual Mode after they have gained confidence.
What else is coming in season 3?
More than just introducing Battle Royale Casual Mode, Warzone Season 3 will feature a new Battle Pass with more than 110 items for unlock: new base weapons and the Monolithic Suppressor attachment. The beginning of the season has set off a complete overhaul on a grand scale for all modes of Call of Duty, making it one of the most massively updated seasons till now.
A welcome addition
We have to tip our hats for the introduction of Battle Royale Casual Mode; Activision is making Warzone much easier to pick up for new players, and yet the essence of battle royale remains. The question is whether this will become a player-supported permanent mode or just a platform for newcomers-another step in the right direction for a player-friendly design.
Will this be the beginning of more AI-integrated modes in Warzone, or is this just an early memo? We'll have to wait and see. But for now, it seems like Season 3 is shaping up to be an exciting chapter for both new and veteran players alike.
