PSBlog Feed: Modern Warfare Season Five expands Warzone by opening Stadium, adding a train, and more


Recommended Posts

* Timed Exclusive content until Oct. 1, 2020 The Shadow Company, an elite PMC group within the Allegiance faction, has arisen to take the ongoing conflict into their own hands. Fight alongside them in Season Five of Modern Warfare featuring four new Multiplayer maps and new additions to Warzone like an opened Stadium and Transit Station, plus a moving freight train that travels across the map. 

The Free-to-Play Warzone Map Gets Bigger

The already massive free-to-play map of Verdansk just got some updates. The Shadow Company’s explosive arrival has cracked open the Stadium and inside the match is on. Want to battle on the go? Hop aboard a moving freight train to get around the map and fight while you ride. Don’t forget to grab your tickets at the expanded Train Station.

Stadium – Don’t land on the roof; go through it. More than just a pitch, move through rows of seating, discover the underground parking structure, and rethink your strategy for a match at Stadium. Don’t get distracted at the concession stands.

Train Station – Get a ticket and explore this expanded area near Promenade. With new rooms, interior spaces, and more opportunities for gunplay and gear, expect the fight at Train Station to be different than you remember.

Moving Freight Train – All Aboard. Travel with your squad and pick off enemies as you go on the moving freight train. Use the track to escape the gas, take a load off, or get to a new location stealthier, without the noise of a vehicle engine.

Warzone Map Tip: The Three S’s of Interior Combat. Shotguns, SMGs, and sidearms are all built to excel in CQB scenarios, which will be commonplace in both Stadium and Train Station. While the other weapon categories can find their place here, it may be worth carrying a close-quarters option in your loadout, if only to be prepared when trekking through these new areas or other interior spaces.

More Multiplayer Battlefields

Four new Multiplayer maps join the rotation across Gunfight, 6v6 Multiplayer, and Ground War. Read a brief overview of all, plus tips for Suldal Harbor.

Livestock (Gunfight) – Small pastoral map features a central barn for fast and frenetic tactical opportunities in Gunfight.

Verdansk International Airport (Ground War) – Don’t let this tarmac be your final resting place as this popular Warzone destination makes it way to Ground War. Utilize both the interior and exterior spaces to find success. Mind the tanks.

Petrov Oil Rig (6v6) – Fight aboard an operational oilrig featuring five distinct sections within a versatile map design where all playstyles can shine.

Suldal Harbor (6v6) – Likely not the safest place to dock your vessel, this bustling harbor will see players weaving between fish markets, shipping areas, and weather-beaten administrative areas.

Tips for Suldal Harbor

Chokepoint Ambushes. The long lanes between the fish market and the shipping village could be ideal for CQB players, or for those that want to set lethal equipment traps.

On the Flank. Especially in objective game modes where key areas have multiple points of entry, those using weapons for close-quarters play could use cover and longer flanking routes to potentially surprise their enemies.

Pick up XP and other rewards as you complete the objectives on your way to earning the Grand Rapids.

Tips for Conquering the Battlefield with Sony *Exclusive Content

1.     Crash in the Restaurant. For the benefit of your Survival, you may want to take solace in the Restaurant towards Crash’s center. The sightlines from here can lead to waves of enemies rushing towards you, only to fall at the hands of your long-range weaponry. Just be wary of enemy helicopters who will come prepared to chop you down from the high ground with heavy fire.

2.     Squad Goals. On the Volley, the blueprint included in the Combat Pack, is an SMG kitted for more mid-range engagements. If you would like to specialize in this type of fighting, don’t hesitate to use this and an assault rifle or LMG in your Loadout Drops, as the SMG and AR/LMG ammo pools are separate within Warzone.

3.     Rolling on the River. The Grand Rapids blueprint, part of the Sony *Exclusive Challenge, is configured for closer medium-range engagements, so feel confident with it when challenging others with CQB weapons. The hybrid optic also allows you to compete at longer ranges, but should you do so, it may be wise to mount this weapon in order to control its recoil.
