Important details on the update — Download, Graphic, FOR Slider, Anti-Cheat
What is there for download? War zone has been since 08.12. At 6 o'clock offline and the servers remain closed for 12 hours — at 6 pm Season 1 starts 1 and the new map goes online.
War zone remains in the old Launcher of Modern Warfare and you must update COD MW. The following download sizes indicate the developers:

With the start of the new Season 1 at 18 o'clock only buyers of Cod Vanguard have access to the new map. If your Vanguard does not have, you can only play Rebirth Island and only on 09.12. At 6 o'clock you come to the new Map Caldera.
What about the graphic change? A complete changeover to the new Vanguard graphics does not exist. War zone remains basically as she knows — movement and feeling remain the same, as well as the Gameplay Perks and your equipments.
However, for example, the new hanging mechanics in the game you can move back and forth after weapons hanging on the edge. There may also be more graphic and gameplay mechanical changes that have not yet fallen.
The first players with a pre-access report, for example, that the graphic is better than before and the visibility is a clear piece better. Whether this is on the new map or there was a comprehensive graphic update, only has to show.
What about the FOR slider? Currently there is no indication that the FOR slider will be available today at the start of the MAP on the consoles. For the time being, the introduction remains uncertain — but she remains possible.
What about the anti-cheat? The anti-cheat system Ricochet is not complete yet with the new map online. The kernel driver for the PC comes first in the Asia-Pacific region and takes place later in Europe.
What happens at Vanguard? At the same time with the start of the new map at 6 pm, the contents of the Season 1 of Vanguard Online go. You can already start the download for this. Information about contents is here:
The new map caldera
What does the new map look like? Caldera is a picturesque volcano island in the Pacific and recalls at first glance rather to a holiday paradise with flight school instead of a map for a Battle Royale. Here is a view of the Launch Trailer:
According to first reports, the new card offers significantly more coverage, less dangerous open spaces and barely strong sniper spots. If you want to watch a tour of the map and first estimates, then look here:
New and old game modes — the playlist to the start
What happens to the old game modes? at the already well-known game modes Bruegel, Battle Royale and the modes on Rebirth Island changes little. The rules and mechanics are known and little differently.
Stressed is an adaptation of the gas circle in the normal Battle Royale — the circle closes at a slower speed, but the times between the circle closures are shorter. Overall, however, the length of the match remains the same.
The loadout drops and the Gulag also work slightly differently: If you come back from the Gulag, you keep your Gulag weapons. Loadout boxes you can only buy if the first free box has fallen from the sky.
In addition, you must for the time being for the new vehicles from the Pacific Update. Aircraft is available for starting only in the Vanguard modes.
What is there for new game modes? Immediately to the start and apparently even later there are special vanguard game modes. The work is currently a little like modes laboratories in which the developers want to try some things, for example, players celebrated with event mode Operation: Flashback.
The weapon selection is limited to the Vanguard weapons and the new vehicles of the Caldera map are only here. So see the rules:
Mode rules Vanguard Royale
Aircraft and anti-air trucks are in the game
Only Vanguard weapons are allowed
Modern equipment is not allowed
Primary equipment
Tactics equipment
Some kill streaks
Some field upgrades
Regular bombs attacks on teams
Larger circle to the start
With each new gas circle starts an in-match event
Immediately to the release there is also the mode Vanguard Reserve. The rules are similar to Rebirth Island — a player goes down, but a team member is still alive, then the player comes back to the match. At least until a certain time in the game.
In addition, the gas circle to the match start is significantly smaller and only 48 players on the map are traveling.
Playlist to release Caldera
Vanguard Royale — Solo, Duo, Trio, 4er Vanguard Revival — 4er Battle Royale — 4er Being — Trio Rebirth Island (for 24 hours)
Compact Gulag on the new map
What does the new Gulag look like? The first Gulag on Caldera is almost tiny in comparison to its predecessors. A small, mutually patched house in the middle, a few loses and rails — that's it. Make yourself on fast respawn duels.
Similar to the popular Iron Trails you can also keep your weapons from the Gulag after victory.
New weapons, vehicles, events and orders
Which new weapons are there? With the start of the Pacific Update, War zone is heavier by almost 40 weapons. From day 1, all shooting iron from the new COD are available in War zone:
7 Storm rifles 6 Machine guns 4 lightweight machine guns 3 sniper rifles 3 Marksman Rifles 4 Shotgun 5 pistols 4 rocket launchers
Incidentally, the first analyzes show that the weapons remain larger their values from the Vanguard multiplayer. The ammunition conversions are less strong, but the basic versions are very similar to those in the multiplayer.
In the course of Season 1, 5 new weapons then come — including another MP and a storm rifle. The complete list of Vanguard release weapons can be found here:
What new vehicles are there? The new vehicles are only available in Vanguard Royale mode and overall there are 3 unused wheels:
Utility Truck — with large loading area or anti-air weapon Fight flyers — plane with 2 seats and MGS Squad Transport — Open, Fast Military Carriage
What new orders are there? On Caldera there are 3 new orders with which your time can bridge and collect Cash:
Top Secret A random order that brings you myrrh Cash Big Game Bounty Bounty hunt marked the player with most kills. Only visible in the first circle on the map. Can not mark the same destination 2 times one after the other. Loadout-Drop An equipment box lands somewhere on the map — the box is only marked for you, but all teams can operate.
Which new events are there? Random in-match events are also on Caldera in Ding. There will be 4 new kinds of it in the normal game modes:
Restock Fills leered storage boxes again Revival A phase in which team members come back directly after a death Cash Drop Boxes with a cargo cash fall from the sky Heavy Weapons Crate Strong weapons with meta-setups can be found in these boxes
New gameplay mechanics
What new gameplay mechanics are available? The big gameplay innovations such as the aircraft, the adjustments to the Gulag and the changes when buying a loadout drop we have already explained. But there are 3 more adjustments that ensure Caldera for new possibilities:
Walkable water Gas canister and encouraged gas masks Special ammunition completely disappears
Water: Wrong water is no longer deadly, and you can run approximately to hip in the water. If you want to leave the map from a beach from the sea, you do not go directly down, if the water is too deep — you will get the message that you should return to the map.
If you are up to the knees in the water, you benefit from the effects of the perk's cold-blooded. In addition, players with the PERK Trailer can not read your tracks. Yawn your termite or a Molotov into the water, it comes to a smoke effect.
Gas: You will now find canisters on the map that escapes gas when it fires on it. The canisters can be moved, throw and stick to drones. The effects on enemies is similar to the gas outside the field.
In addition, the gas masks are buffed. Animation as reloading, grenade throwing or disk insertion now prevent direct start of the gas Make animation.
The developers make it clear that they retain the mask on the eye. Players who are not in the gas, should continue to have an advantage over gas mask carrier.
Special Ammunition: After the spawn rate of very strong field upgrade went down drastically already, the mechanics disappear completely with the release of Caldera.
buffs and nerfs equipment
What buffs come into play? There is the start of Caldera no change in the weapon balance. However, much equipment were changed. The following equipment is now stronger:
Claymore: Damage increased from 150 to 200 Frag grenade: Damage increased from 70/140 to 112/225 Molotov per tick increased to 24/36/43 and extended duration of approximately 12.5 seconds Approach Mine: Damage increased from 200 to 225 Semtex: Damage increased from 70/140 to 74/150 Throwing Knives: Chest and Headshot hits are now one-shot kills (250 damage) Bait Grenade Fires now more rubber projectiles with 1 damage Snapshot grenade radius increases from 14 to 28 meters Stem: Now Is a Movement Boost 3 seconds
The different values when damage are associated with how far you are from the premium range.
What Nerfs come into play? Also from the weakening almost solely the equipment currently affected. However, there are changes also in the melee weapons:
At least 3 matches are now necessary for the melee finisher damage Reconnaissance drones: costs now 6,000 instead of 4,000 cash Dead silence: time of field upgrades is renewed only at the first Kill Heartbeat Sensor: A sensor-Ping has lasted 6 instead of 3 seconds Stun Grenade: time of anesthesia decreased from 4.7 / 5.5 to 2.5 / 4.5 seconds
In addition, there are many weaknesses in the melee weapons from Black Ops Cold War. Will you even look at the adjustments that can be found here, the English patch notes (via ravensoftware.com)?
adjustments to the settings
What has changed in the settings? There are still a few adjustments Finally in the settings that are inspired by the new Cod Vanguard.
So the settings have been reordered, and you have more options for your graphic settings on the console. You can now between display and Quality — with probably the choice between more FPS and better graphics.
On top are more settings for the death zone of your input devices and sensitivity.
So far in the paragraph for Settings no sign of a field of view-controller (FOR slider) on the consoles.
War zone change much with the Pacific update and the start of the first joint season with Vanguard. But not as much as some expected beforehand.
Especially the new information on the anti-cheat should not get so good. For it makes the new map directly to the start a good figure and the first reactions are extremely positive.
