The third-person perspective isn't new to the Call of Duty series and was first introduced in the original Modern Warfare 2 (2009). Since then, the mode has only appeared in Modern Warfare 3. However, the developers have revamped the entire mode and relaunched it for Modern Warfare 2 (2022) with advanced mechanics to offer a flawless third-person experience and will now be making its way to Warzone for the first time ever.

A battle royale's third-person mode drastically alters the pace of a match. This makes it possible to use the new game's various features, including its aquatic combat system, advanced movement mechanism, vehicle combat system, and other features, in completely new ways.

Other battle royale games, including Fortnite and PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds, debuted with a third-person perspective and were wildly popular.


While the third-person mode in Modern Warfare 2's core multiplayer experience has created some controversy amongst players, fans are now eagerly waiting to use it in the battle royale game, where having a third-person perspective opens up numerous pathways and options to engage or evade enemies.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, and Warzone 2 Season One, along with the DMZ mode, will be launching this November 16 for PC, Xbox One, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series S|X, and PlayStation 5.
