Call of Duty Warzone – Season 3 Patch Notes Highlights, Things Have Really Changed

In addition to today’s big patch for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Season 3, we’re also launching updates for Warzone and its Season 3.

Here we have a returning fan-favorite map with a bunch of points of interest (see below), new and returning modes and new weapons, and tweaks to pretty much everything in the game. Buy stations have all been moved, so you’ll have to hunt in different areas than you’re used to, which the developers hope will encourage new combat scenarios.

Let’s take a look at some of the highlights of the new Warzone patch.

There are also some exclusive features in this mode which we will discuss in the gameplay section below.
