When the Season 2 content for Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 arrives, it expects to look exactly like its predecessor. Not only is it restoring the classic Gulag and looting mechanics from the original Warzone, but it is also resurrecting the popular 40-player Resurgence mode with a brand new Ashika Island map.
In recent Call of Duty blog posts from developer Infinity Ward have also broken down some of the changes Resurgence Mode will bring to Warzone 2.0 for a brief time, notably the addition of AI combatants.
Ashika Island map from Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 is a disused country dotted with shops, waterways, and rubble.
As you can imagine, these AI soldiers will likely disrupt memorable gunfights between Resurgence players, especially since the enemy type has been dubbed "The Rusher." Others in the game have petitioned Infinity Ward to avoid including AI combatants into the mode. According to user SmithMay7, "In spite of all the complaints about how OP melee is, they've created a bot that smokes you and then [expletive] rushes you with a knife."
Season 2 of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 will require players to buy Modern Warfare 2 in order to get new Faction missions. Infinity Ward has since not provided a reason for this, although fans will see these exclusive missions when Season 2 of Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 launches on February 15.
