Warzone 2 is overcomplicating the very mode that could save it
It has been a long time coming, but Infinity Ward and the Call of Duty team has finally detailed what battle royale fans can expect to see from the upcoming Warzone 2 Season 2 update - and, there's quite a lot to be excited about. The long-awaited Warzone 2 Combat Record feature should finally be introduced and there are several interesting Warzone 2 Season 2 weapons to unlock. However, the return of Resurgence and Ashika Island is the big talking point - and it's clear to see why.
Described as "frenetic" by the Call of Duty team in this Season 2 blog post, Resurgence is a faster-paced, smaller-scale battle royale mode that "allows for respawns as long as one squad member is still standing". It isn't as loot-focused as the standard Warzone 2 battle royale mode, but it's a mode that quickly became a firm fan favourite when Rebirth Island was introduced to Warzone during Black Ops Cold War Season 1.
Without going into too much detail, Resurgence is a popular mode because it's something that puts action first and doesn't punish player deaths quite as much as a standard battle royale game. However, it does punish it more than a Team Deathmatch on Modern Warfare 2 does; it strikes a balance that a lot of players - us included - enjoy.
