Call of Duty League denies claims Warzone was nearly 2022\u2019s third game mode ActivisionCall of Duty League representatives have shut down claims from competitive veteran Ian \u2018Crimsix\u2019 Porter that suggest Warzone was almost locked in as 2022\u2019s third game mode. While the CDL has promoted a small handful of Warzone tournaments since its 2020 release, the CoD battle royale was allegedly nearing a much more substantial crossover ahead of the 2022 season. With Vanguard in focus and the third competitive game mode still undetermined, CoD\u2019s most successful player Crimsix claimed a vote was held behind the scenes. This vote was supposedly held to lock in a final game mode to complement Hardpoint and S&D. Although Control is now featured in that slot throughout Challengers, the CDL previously considered Warzone, according to Crim. \u201cWe [were] one vote away from playing Warzone as map three,\u201d he said in a recent Twitch stream. Initially brushing the comment off, he soon doubled down. \u201cI\u2019m actually not even f***ing kidding,\u201d he added. \u201cWe\u2019ve got motherf***ers deciding our map three that haven\u2019t even picked up a controller. \u201cYou guys think I\u2019m kidding, I\u2019m actually being deada** serious.\u201d It\u2019s not the first time Crim has been vocal about this situation. He even teased Warzone as the third mode just a few days prior. \u201cWe\u2019re not supposed to talk about it, but this sh** is so embarrassingly bad,\u201d he said during an earlier broadcast. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t Control. Let\u2019s just say it\u2019s as extreme as Prop Hunt, and it was almost voted in. \u201cHere, I\u2019ll give you guys a hint,\u201d he said before swapping screens to some Warzone gameplay. \u201cWere the players consulted?\u201d a viewer asked in chat. \u201cAbsolutely f***ing not,\u201d Crim answered without hesitation. Despite doubling down on these claims and mentioning Warzone as the CDL\u2019s third pick multiple times now, the rumors have since been debunked. \u201cUnfortunately, this is not a true statement,\u201d CDL Player Relations Manager Spencer Peterson replied in light of Crim\u2019s latest comments. For the time being, a third mode at the CDL level is yet to be announced. Although Control arrived in Season 1, the playlist has quickly been deemed unviable due to a plethora of bugs in custom games. We\u2019ll have to wait and see if bug fixes arrive in time before a different third mode is locked in. However, if the CDL sticks to its word, Warzone won\u2019t be featured in the 2022 season.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
