This is a first-person shooter, set in the Call of Duty universe, in which players engage in a variety of multiplayer combat events (e.g., battle royale, plunder-style skirmishes/DMZ). Players use machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and explosives to kill enemy soldiers in frenetic combat. Battles are highlighted by realistic gunfire, screams of pain, blood-splatter effects, and explosions. A handful of weapons/attacks result in decapitation/dismemberment. Finishing moves sometimes depict dramatic stabbings and headshots, with close-up blood and gore effects. The game contains badges/banners that depict illustrations of marijuana leaves and/or characters smoking joints. The words “f**k” and “sh*t” appear in the game.
The gameplay modes mentioned in the ESRB rating are Battle Royale, Plunder-style Skirmishes, and a DMZ mode. The weapons mentioned are machine guns, shotguns, sniper rifles, and explosives. There will be plenty of violence and gore as well.
Call of Duty Warzone 2.0 is expected to launch later this year along with Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
