One of the things that is on the lips of the entire Call of Duty: Warzone gaming community is that Microsoft’s multi-million dollar acquisition of Activision could mean incredible things for the franchise, with a prospect landing in the form of a sequel to the game. incredibly popular battle royale title.
Something that we find quite curious is that, the popular Battle Royale video game developed by Raven Software is in vital need of rejuvenation as gamers are frustrated with its continuous state of bugs. To combat cheaters and hopefully enrich the game experience, some players are proposing that Warzone 2 move away from the free-to-play (F2P) model.
Warzone Players Want To “Eliminate” Cheaters With A Paid Sequel
Warzone went against the typical format of CoD games by ditching a price tag, but fans like Redditor 7LyLa feel Activision needs to reinstate it for Warzone 2: “Warzone 2 needs to be $60. This will instantly weed out cheaters who do this to ruin your experience.”
The Reddit user expanded on his idea, adding that cheaters “who are dumb enough to pay up and cheat will slowly be reported for oversight and banned,” in an ideal world. While adding a paywall to Warzone 2 isn’t a guarantee against cheaters, the Redditor feels “Free Warzone” is the “worst experience ever.”
The concept of making Warzone 2 a full-priced game has drawn mixed responses. One commenter said that “Honestly $20-40 would probably GREATLY reduce the number of cheaters”, while another thinks Warzone should “be globally accessible, it’s what makes a game so big and the player base so healthy”.
Redditor aj6658 thinks “it won’t happen. They make a lot more money with the F2P model. I think the only way we can hope is console-only crossplay.” Another commenter argued that Warzone is not the only game guilty of cheaters:
“Everyone seems to be overlooking that MW19 and the CW had a lot of shameless cheaters.” If the developers were to sell Warzone 2 at full price, it would be a great quality expected, especially with the power that Activision has.
