Warzone 2 completely reinvents the circle mechanic “will have multiple circles”

Call of Duty Next has finally arrived, giving fans a wealth of information about the future of war zone and Modern Warfare 2. The event showcased a ton of gameplay, giving fans their first look at the game ahead of the multiplayer beta launching first on PlayStation on September 16.

Whether it’s a storm, a ring of gas, or a lethal force field, the constantly closing ring is a staple of the battle royale genre. Warzone 2 not only changes the game’s looting and armor systems, but there will actually be multiple circles closing in on Al Mazrah. Now, instead of one massive circle closing at an extremely small point over the course of the match, there will be multiple circles closing at the same time. Infinity Ward said that these multiple circles will change the endgame scenarios.

“We have this new mechanic where the circle can be divided into up to four different circles”, revealed Infinity Ward during Call of Duty Next. “Segregate teams and have micro battles in the smallest circles”. The circles then merge as the game comes to an end, creating a final fight for victory. “It’s another twist in the game”, explained Joe Cecot. “Another cool twist.”

We’ll get a much better idea of ​​what these circles will look like once content creators enter Warzone 2 for the first time later in the Call of Duty Next event, battling to be the last squad standing.
