CoD Warzone 2 becomes Rocket League: How does the new Warzone Cup mode work?

With the update to Season 1 Reloaded, the developers are giving you a fun mode in which you can play “football”. We explain how this works.

For the release of the midseason update on 14 December, there is a lot of new content to try out not only for Modern Warfare 2, but also for DMZ and Warzone 2. In Battle Royale, for example, there are two new modes: In addition to Mini Royale (a shorter and smaller version), you can also try your hand at a football mode. Here”s a summary of how it works.

Where and when is Warzone Cup available?

As the name suggests, the game mode is part of Warzone 2 and therefore available for free to all players, whether they have purchased Modern Warfare 2 or not. However, you can only play the football mode for a short time: From 14 December at 19:00 until 23 December at 19:00 you will be competing with other players in the stadium.

How the Warzone Cup works

In a (blog entry) the developers explain all details about the new game mode. We summarise the most important things for you:

• Rocket League in CoD: All operators sit on quads with a special boost function during matches. This allows you to push a large ball through the area, and preferably into the opponent”s goal. You can also ram opponents” vehicles, there are no fouls. Sounds like Rocket League!
• Small teams: In Warzone Cup, two teams of 3 players each compete against each other. You can form a team with friends or use the squad-filling function, but having your own team is more practical, as communication is important here.
• Own map: Warzone Cup is played on Al Easima Field a football stadium in Al Mazrah. However, the goals are a little bigger than in normal football matches:
