Warzone 2 has been announced. The new Battle Royale should make the players happy again. Even before the release, a detail causes fear among fans.

Santa Monica, California – With Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, the American publisher Activision finally wants to occupy the shooter heaven again without restrictions. The new Call of Duty and its “Battle Royale” brother come from Infinity Ward and should bring a breath of fresh air. Many players hate a detail about Warzone 2 long before the release.

Warzone 2: Fans are upset even before the release

What’s the problem with the fans? The new Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 was recently announced. In the course of this, the fans got a lot of information about the future of the franchise. One of the highlights of Modern Warfare 2 is the start of the new Battle Royale: Warzone 2. After a number of problems with Warzone last year, many fans are pinning their hopes on the successor. Warzone 2 should probably be released in 2022.

However, the good news also harbors a certain degree of uncertainty for many players. Nothing is known about the Battle Royale yet. However, it has been announced that Warzone 2 will also be released for the last-gen consoles PS4 and Xbox One. Many fans shared their frustration online about this. Reason for this: The old consoles would negatively affect the game for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S because PS4 and Xbox One are less powerful.

Warzone 2: fans frustrated even before release – what’s behind it?

Is the concern justified? The concerns of the fans are not unfounded. In the last two years since the release of the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S, there have been problems from time to time. Above all, the “Cyberpunk 2077” debacle, in which the game was simply unplayable on the old consoles, always triggers a sweat of fear.

In the case of Battlefield 2042, the alternative solution was to slim down the game for the last generation. For example, PS4 and PS5 could no longer play together. It is unlikely that this will be the case with Warzone 2. After all, CoD Vanguard ran smoothly on both consoles in this regard.

How do the old consoles affect Warzone 2? The exact extent cannot yet be predicted because there is no insight into the development of the game. Unless Infinity Ward has developed two versions of the game for the respective console generation, Warzone 2 will certainly experience cuts in terms of graphics. The game’s performance could also be worse. But the most important feature for many fans is a FOV slider for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S.

A FOV slider adjusts the camera’s field of view – the higher the value, the more you see. From a technical point of view, a FOV slider for PS4 and Xbox One is not possible for Warzone. The old consoles are not powerful enough for this. PS5 and Xbox Series X|S could do that in Warzone 2 without any problems. Since the new Battle Royale is now also being released for the old generation, many players fear having to do without the long-awaited feature again.

Why is Warzone 2 coming to PS4 and Xbox One? The explanation for this is very simple. The majority of players play Warzone on the old consoles and most of them on the PS4. No wonder, then, that Warzone 2 will also be released for these players. At the end of the day, there is a lot of purchasing power behind them. Fans will have to wait and see how big the cuts will be for the new consoles.
