Today (December 6) marks the long-awaited arrival of Season One of Modern Warfare 3’s live-service content. This massive update includes a range of new weapons, maps, operators, and, of course, a new battle pass to grind through across its multiplayer modes but also brings some meaty mechanical changes to the game’s free-to-play battle royale component, Warzone.
In addition to the arrival of an all-new map, Urzikstan, not to mention the introduction of all of Modern Warfare 3’s movement mechanics and weapons, the mode will see its overall player count decrease from 150 players per match to 100. Although this format is not uncommon in battle royale games (just look at Fortnite's 100-player matches), it left some fans wondering why the decision was taken.
