The Warzone Realism mode relies on more team play than individual effort, so the best teams are usually those who communicate well. Using the compass at the top of the screen seems to be an effective way to call out enemies. Call outs have to be specific, and the compass is your best friend. With the absence of all these visual helpers, communication becomes key. There’s so much info taken away, that you can finally realize how valuable it was to have it all on screen. Was there that “crunch” sound telling you that your broke their armor?įinally, the “Eliminated” indicator is also gone. Sounds associated with bullets hitting a player are still there, but once again, personal experience will dictate how well you think you’re doing. Since the hit marker is gone, players have to rely on audio queues. The health bar is also gone, and armor will only display how many are in use. Ammo can only be shown if navigated to the drop menu, and dollar amounts are no longer shown beside player names. There’s zero indication of its rarity tier – grey, green, blue, purple, orange, or red – and players must rely on experience to figure out which guns are best for them. Test your knowledge! When a player finds a weapon, it’ll display its name and nothing else. These steps taken by Infinity Ward to make a player’s life easier have now been stripped, and it’s up to the player to remember everything. How much health is left? How many plates of armor are in my inventory? Is my gun single shot or fully automatic? The list goes on and on. What about the HUD? Heads-up display is a player’s encyclopedia of their current status shown on the screen. If you’re so fortunate to buy or find a UAV, consider it as opening your eyes to how chaotic the surroundings are. This alone can leave any player on high alert. You can’t ping the red dot on the map for your teammates, so there’s no gauge to where enemies might be approaching from next. Without it, you have next to no idea where the gunshots off in the distance are coming from. Take a pause and think about removing the radar, and what that does to your situational awareness. This temporarily replaces Battle Royale Quads. This weekend's playlist update for #Warzone is now live across all platforms! Jump into Realism Battle Royale (Quads).

Here’s what you need to know about this new temporary game mode: the Warzone Realism mode removes the HUD and radar.
