Warzone players flame devs for not releasing Zombie Royale at start of Haunting event ActivisionWarzone community members were shocked when The Haunting event started without including its headline act. Everyone\u2019s favorite Haunting Event is finally back in Warzone. In this year\u2019s iteration, community members can jump into haunted, re-imagined Vondel and Al Mazrah maps. Or squads can try their hand at completing the Soul Capture or Operation Nightmare events. Players even have the opportunity to earn an exclusive reward in Diablo IV by defeating Butcher as part of an ambitious crossover event. Other highlights of the update include a new field upgrade, loot, and a tactical equipment item. But what many will consider the star of the show is the return of Zombie Royale. The fan-favorite game mode respawns downed players as zombies, creating absolute chaos. Community members wanted to jump right into the mode when The Haunting Event started, but the devs controversially decided to space out its release. Warzone players shocked by \u201cdrip-feeding\u201d content strategy This year\u2019s Zombie Royale mode takes the best elements from previous games. Players who die respawn as a zombie with special abilities. It is up to the undead horde to eliminate every player and players that die as a zombie are eliminated from the match. However, an infestation meter fills up and returns all spectators to the match as zombies. And in true battle royale fashion, the last living player wins. On October 17, Raven Software unveiled Warzone\u2019s The Haunting playlist calendar, and Zombie Royale doesn\u2019t join the map rotation until October 20. The devs explained that players could try out Al Mazrah or Vondel\u2019s Halloween-inspired maps in the meantime, but that compromise wasn\u2019t good enough for some community members. Warzone Loadout responded: \u201cSo frustrating. Why would you advertise a fan favorite mode as the big update for weeks and then don\u2019t have it at launch? Zombie Royale should have been live directly.\u201d Warzone competitor and content creator TheTacticalBrit added: \u201cWhy would you not have zombies at launch?\u201d Fellow content creator HunterTV drove the point home by arguing: \u201cYou guys can\u2019t do anything right with these playlists.\u201d Hopefully, the wait is worth it when Zombie Royale finally goes live later this week. But in the meantime, check out the rest of our Warzone coverage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
