Warzone players want one feature from Battlefield 2042 & Halo Infinite Activision \/ 343 IndustriesFollowing the E3 reveals for Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite, Call of Duty: Warzone players have reignited a timeless debate: Should Blackout\u2019s Grappling Hook be added to CoD\u2019s current battle royale? Treyarch\u2019s Black Ops 4 battle royale, Blackout, had a beloved Grappling Hook \u2014 which enabled players to reach new levels (quite literally) of mobility. That was scrapped when Infinity Ward released its BR, Warzone, but many miss the speedy item. The perk of a grappling hook is obvious: you can fly around the map, taking new positions and escaping spicy situations. The downsides are normally just that people think the mechanic brings too much mobility and defies the time period Warzone is meant to be set in. But, while zippy hook debates quieted down, they have suddenly returned \u2014 with a passion. After Battlefield 2042 and Halo Infinite each showcased the item in their E3 presentations, Twitch streamer IceManIsaac called for its addition to Warzone. I see grapple guns in the new Halo AND the new Battlefield, but still no grapples in Warzone \ud83d\ude2d \u2014 Isaac (@IceManIsaac) June 13, 2021 While Isaac obviously wants a grappling gun added to Warzone, there is some debate about it. Most notably, some have mentioned that Warzone isn\u2019t supposed to be \u201cfuturistic\u201d and that the vertical mobility would unfairly help rooftop snipers. As Isaac retorts, though, the only ways to counter snipers are by counter-sniping or calling in an airstrike on them. A grappling hook would add an entirely new dimension to balancing the game against campers, as it could give new players new angles to attack perches. This is echoed by other supporters of the idea, who mention that a grappling hook would help attack annoying sniping spots like the Airport tower. Additionally, many think this could help create a higher skill ceiling in Warzone \u2014 nurturing the skill gap. While it\u2019s unclear how easy it would be for Raven Software to bring Treyarch\u2019s Blackout Grappling Gun onto Infinity Ward\u2019s Warzone engine, there\u2019s definitely potential there. And, although fans seem undecided, there\u2019s a lot of passion (and seemingly good reasons) to do so.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
