We missed you, 1v1

Warzone 2.0 led to an entire host of modifications to Name of Responsibility‘s beloved battle royale mode, however probably the most divisive of all of them needs to be the brand new model of the Gulag, which modified from a 1v1 struggle to a 2v2 with the introduction of the sequel. As if it wasn’t already arduous sufficient contending with two enemies as an alternative of 1, particularly if in case you have a teammate who’s AFK, uncooperative, and many others., additionally they added a Jailer with a minigun so that you can take care of, too. It’s clear to me why this was one of many least widespread modifications that got here together with Warzone 2.0.

Fortunately we gained’t need to put up with it for very for much longer, although, as a result of Infinity Ward has introduced on Twitter that they’re reverting the Gulag again to its former 1v1 glory. This modification is scheduled to be applied together with the Season 2 replace for each Warzone 2.0 and Fashionable Warfare II, which we realized yesterday has been delayed by two weeks. I assume this offers us but one more reason to stay up for the sport’s second season, together with bug fixes, a brand new Raid episode, and new sport modes, simply to call a number of of the upcoming options.

1v1’s are again in Battle Royale.

Gulag updates are coming in Season 02. We’ll be sharing extra particulars about this in subsequent week’s studio weblog.@RavenSoftware

Season 2 is formally dropping on February 15, as per a tweet from the Name of Responsibility Twitter account yesterday, so we solely need to cope with the 2v2 shenanigans for a short while longer. It’s good that they wished to department out and check out one thing new to maintain issues feeling contemporary, however sadly, this turned out to be extra of a “if it ain’t broke, don’t repair it” scenario.
