Warzone 2 players worried by major Gulag 2.0 overhaul ActivisionFollowing the long-awaited reveal of Warzone 2, players have expressed their worries over the massive changes coming to the Gulag in the sequel. After months of rumors and speculation, we finally got our first look at Warzone 2 during the Call of Duty Next event. Infinity Ward is shaking up the battle royale\u2019s formula with plenty of innovations, such as splitting the end-game circles and introducing The Shop. One of the biggest changes coming in Warzone 2 is a major overhaul of the Gulag, completely changing how players earn their second chance to return to the action. However, even though the release of the game is still weeks away, many players aren\u2019t sold on the new-look feature. Warzone 2 players divided over 2v2 Gulag In the Gulag 2.0, teams of two will go head-to-head to try and earn a revive for both players, while looting for weapons and dealing with \u2018The Jailer.\u2019 Once you die, you\u2019re paired with another fallen player at random, who is not necessarily part of your squad. This is a far cry from the format players are used to, which has always been a 1v1 faceoff with a random weapon on a close-quarters map. It\u2019s certainly a bold move, and the community is clearly worried about the change. After Charlie INTEL tweeted claiming the new Gulag was a \u201cmess,\u201d many took to Reddit to express their concern. The 2v2 setup seemed to be the main sticking point, with players not wanting to work together with a random teammate. \u201cI understand about giving it a chance, but imagine you\u2019re teamed up with a 9-year-old without a headset,\u201d said one reply. \u201cHaving to rely on a random teammate doesn\u2019t sound fun to me.\u201d The new Gulag is a terrible idea even on paper, can\u2019t wait to have to play a 2v1 in every Gulag and get knocked out because my random teammates are either AFK or straight-up suck,\u201d said another. \u201cHopefully it continues to be a mess and IW change it before launch, there\u2019s no way this change will be good. Many pro players also had their say, with FaZe Santana simply tweeting: \u201cThis Gulag is just not it.\u201d Others felt that pairing players up in the Gulag doesn\u2019t cater to those looking to play on their own in Warzone 2. \u201cI have to play with a teammate in the Gulag? I want to queue into Solos for a reason,\u201d said a disgruntled player. While many were clearly concerned about the effect that the Gulag 2.0 could have on matches in Warzone 2, others replied by saying they would be reserving judgment until they\u2019ve had the chance to hop in and try out the new format for themselves. Warzone 2 is set to arrive on November 16, so it won\u2019t be long before we see the new Gulag in action for the first time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
