Players broadly seem to be in favor of the Season 3 tweak, but are concerned about movement speed.
Season 3 begins on Wednesday in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, and as Morgan observed last week, it might be the first big update that pleases players of both games. One change to Warzone 2 might be mildly controversial, though: one-hit sniping is back.
“Expect the return of one-shot sniper rifles,” said the Warzone 2 team in a blog post (opens in new tab) today, “under certain attachment and platform conditions.”
The reaction I’m seeing is largely positive. Making Warzone 2 more like Warzone 1 has been a theme of Activision’s updates, and for better or worse, a popular one. A lot of fans of the original Warzone miss one-shot sniping, and on Reddit, one player posted a funny complaint (opens in new tab)about their sniping-obsessed squadmate who spends ages futilely trying to countersnipe other snipers, with neither able to score a killing shot.
