If you want to know more about the course of the update and when War zone is not playable for 12 hours, then you will find all the important information here.
1. New map caldera with fresh setting
For the first time, War zone changes its great map and settles over the gray Verdant in the Cold War to the Green Island Caldera in World War. The new map is hardly comparable to the old card — only the holiday paradise and the Eastern Bloc City Verdant resemble.
There is also a small-time jump as at that time when introducing Verdant '84. However, this time it goes to the year 1944.
But you do not need to worry that your modern items are worth nothing more — all weapons from Cold was, and COD MW stay in the game and your operator can continue to use.

However, as it continues, you will learn only with the start of the first joint live season of War zone and Cod: Vanguard.
3 . War zone gets a graphic update
A very exciting change: War zone gets a fat graphic update and switches to the Engine of COD: Vanguard.
So quite is not clear yet what effects that will have. Changes to the movement are conceivable and the general sense of feeling can thus differ significantly from the old war zone. The effects of Perks like mind could also change.
In the area of the possible, however, a pure optical update would be currently. The war zone then stays in large parts as you know, but looks pretty and probably also needs less space thanks to Texture Streaming.

10 . Outstanding issues: next-gen, FOR slider, Vanguard launcher
There are not yet clear everything gameplay details about the video conversion and outside the pure gaming experience there is as yet unresolved questions:
No clear statement for versions PS5 and Xbox Series Unclear whether the FOR slider is on the consoles Not sure if War zone in the Vanguard launcher changes
Especially the matter of the FOR slider on the consoles is personally very important to me and also a version for next-gen consoles would certainly please many players. However, so far there is no hard and fast to statements. Once there is new information, you find them on Mango.
