Fortune’s Keep Returning Map

Welcome Back to Fortune’s Keep! How has the island changed? 

  • Extendable Bridges
    • Three Extendable Bridges over gaps in the fallen roadways are now present. 
    • These are not portable, but rather you can extend or retract them across a gap in the road by using a small control console, one on either side of the bridge. 
    • The controls react to more than melee interaction, in case you’re wanting to activate the bridge at range. 

In addition, this updated version of Fortune’s Keep will encompass 11 Major Points of Interest, detailed below.

  • Keep: Rear Dock and Caves (North Coast)
    • The grandeur of the Keep, with its opulent tapestries, mosaic floors, and gilded throne room, is mostly intact. Look to the north for additional pathways: With the arrival of aquatic vehicles, the steep northern cliffs below the Keep have been modified, adding a rear dock for unloading cargo, along with a rough cargo elevator (now sporting two Ascenders) enabling fast upward travel to the battlements. Under the foundations of the castle is a rock tunnel with openings to the sea, which runs east to west, all offering tactical access to and from the Keep.
  • Terraces: Fishing Docks and Cliff Paths (Northwest Coast)
    • The battlements on the western side of the Keep may have seen better days, but the layout is still familiar. To the north along the coast, discover a second pier housing fishing boats and a bait shop. The area north of Terraces has received further construction changes, with Ascenders, additional stairs running along the cliffside, and small cave openings and grottos to traverse. This stretches north of the Graveyard along the coast to the northern tip of the Town POI.

  • Graveyard (Northwest Coast)
    • The ancient stone crypts still stand on the small plateau above the Town. You might want to bank on a thorough exploration of this somber spot, not least due to the connecting tunnels burrowing down toward the epicenter of the action!
  • Town: Lower (Western Coast)
    • The coastal town is still as densely packed as you remember, with an old fortress bell tower, brightly hued apartments and stores, and a turret defending the cove from seafaring attackers. Atop the new Police Station on the north side of the cove is a helipad, usually a good spot to locate a Light Helo for airborne maneuvers.

  • Town: Upper (Southwestern Coast)
    • Initial evidence of a sizeable seismic event to hit the island is visible in the southeastern corner of Town, where a sizeable fissure has cut through the earth, splitting a dwelling into two. Tactically, this allows you to investigate the giant crack, leading to multi-level fighting opportunities and an entrance down into the main impact crater to the east.

  • Overlook: Restaurant (Southwestern Coast)
    • East of Overlook (a fortified plateau with an old, multi-floor dwelling and Salty’s Snack Bar attached to it), on a slightly lower plateau overlooking the sea, is the Trattoria Il Luna, a newly constructed restaurant instead of the shack and military tents that used to be here. The eatery offers more than great views across the south of the island; there’s exterior access to tunnels below the cliffs.
  • Konni Outpost (Bay, Northeastern Coast)
    • Once a seldom-visited locale, the old Bay POI now gives Operators their first clue to the faction behind the island’s partial collapse. Konni Group has established a small outpost here, complete with a mechanic’s garage, several small server and monitoring rooms, and a storage cave with Ascender access to the Keep’s eastern perimeter.
  • Pier (Camp, Southeastern Coast)
    • Once a military camp with tents and a small watchtower, significant construction has since modified the southeastern coast into a pier and Tasting Room for the adjacent Winery, as well as a Rohan Oil Gas Station and convenience store.

  • Winery (East)
    • The chateau specializing in fine wines has seen better days, with massive structural problems visible across the premises. This includes a giant crack through the central courtyard, allowing a novel access into the now-flooded wine cellar. Perhaps that water can be drained? The old chapel, now used as storage for the vast fermenting casks, has lost its tower, which lies in three sizeable chunks.
  • Gatehouse (Center)
    • The true extent of the damage caused by an apparent colossal subterranean explosion is most visible when investigating the Keep Gatehouse in the center of the map. The ramparts, multiple turrets, the arched entrance, and the barbican (the circular outer defensive tower) has sustained major damage, with the barbican itself sinking into the unstable ground below.

Article continues below advertisement

  • Ground Zero (Grotto, South Coast)
    • Almost unprecedented destruction by the Konni Group has wiped an original point of interest off the map. The Grotto is now a deep crater, with portions of the island, including main roads and buildings, all sunken or fallen into a vast crevasse. The resulting wreckage should be explored as a matter of urgency, as the epicenter of the crater has been revealed to be a large Konni laboratory with a snaking network of corridors, chambers, and tunnels.

Warzone Competitive Mode: Revival

We’re excited to introduce Ranked Play to Call of Duty: Warzone this year by first bringing competitive experiences to the popular, high-action Resurgence game mode.

Similar to our previous iteration of Warzone Ranked Play, Warzone Ranked Play: Resurgence will use competitive settings developed by Treyarch and Raven Software, along with the input and support of our partners at Sledgehammer Games.

Warzone Ranked Play: Resurgence aims to deliver a competitive and fair system of play while striving to ensure a consistent experience similar to other Resurgence modes. To achieve this, Resurgence Ranked Play is launching with initial gameplay restrictions and adjustments.

  • Restricted content will be re-evaluated each Season with the possibility of re-introducing content after fixes or balance adjustments.
  • We are constantly watching the state of the game and will react to live situations on a case-by-case basis.

We can’t wait for existing competitive players and new Resurgence players to dive in, climb through Skill Divisions, and earn some awesome rewards. Catch all of the details below!

    • Pre-made parties are still subject to the outlined Party SR Restrictions. Please find these restrictions in the Competitive Integrity Features section below.

    • Show Off Your Skill: It’s easy to see which Division someone is in in Warzone Ranked Play: Resurgence. Your entire Rank Icon will change color and material depending on your current Skill Division. Your current Tier is also prominently shown in the center of your Rank icon.
  • Breakdown: Earning SR
    • Kills and Assists
    • Players gain SR over the course of each match every time they get a Kill or Assist, with Kills and Assists being treated equally to encourage teamwork between Squadmates.
    • Players also receive some SR each time a Squadmate gets a Kill, even if they didn’t contribute to the Kill.
    • To reward high-stakes Kills and teamwork, SR increases over the course of each match based on the number of Squads left alive.
      • 9 – 17 Squads Remaining: +5 SR per Kills/Assists, +3 SR per Kill by Squadmate
      • 4 – 8 Squads Remaining: +7 SR per Kills/Assists, +5 SR per Kill by Squadmate
      • 1 – 3 Squads Remaining: +10 SR per Kills/Assists, +7 SR per Kill by Squadmate

      • Players will be able to see and track SR earned via Kills, Asists, Unassisted Squadmate Kills, and Placements on a visible tracker in-game.
      • The SR Tracker will be visible while alive or spectating a Squadmate and will always display your own SR for the current match.
      • If your team is eliminated, the SR Tracker will be hidden when spectating an Enemy Squad, and your final earned SR will be shown in the After Action Report.
  • Breakdown: Seasonal Challenges
  • Breakdown: Death Fees
    • Death Fees are a new addition to the SR system to ensure that every combat scenario feels high-stakes and that each life has meaning in Warzone Ranked Play: Resurgence.

    • Competitors cannot lose more SR than their Deployment Fee which are listed below.
  • Breakdown: Deployment Fees
    • Deployment Fees are a returning Ranked Play system that ensure that each division above Silver has increasing performance expectations which must be exceeded to progress.
    • Deployment Fees apply at the beginning of each match starting at Silver I, increasing in -SR with each Division, and are deducted from each player’s current SR total.
    • Players must earn this amount of SR in the following game if they wish to advance towards the next Skill Division or Tier. Failing to earn back the Deployment Fee will result in players losing SR for the match.
  • Breakdown: End of Season Skill Setback
    • At the end of each Season, your ending Skill Division and Skill Division Tier will determine where you start the following season:

Competitive Integrity Features

  • Rejoin: Players that unintentionally disconnect from a match will be able to reconnect to the match within 4 minutes. 
    • In order to uphold the Competitive Integrity of Ranked Play, certain criteria must be met in order to rejoin a match:
      • Players must have at least 1 Squad member remaining.
      • There must be at least 3 Squads remaining in the match.
      • Players can only rejoin the same match once.
      • To protect against abuse, players can have their ability to Rejoin temporarily limited if they repeatedly disconnect from matches.
    • Callouts:
      • When a player disconnects their operator will remain in match and can be eliminated as if they were playing. Players who do not Rejoin during the allotted time will have their operator fully disconnected.
      • When a disconnected player is eliminated, their Resurgence timer will countdown as expected but they will only be redeployed once reconnected.
      • Players that have been eliminated for over 3 minutes and intentionally disconnect  via ‘Leave Match’ will not be presented with the option to Rejoin.
      • Players that disconnect while operating a vehicle will be ejected from the driver’s seat.
  • Squad Backout / Match Cancel: If you lose a matchmade teammate before the match begins, your squad will be taken back to the lobby so you don’t start the match shorthanded. If too many squads get backed out before the match begins, we will return everyone to the lobby to find a better match.
  • Suspensions & Penalties: Disconnecting from matches early and not rejoining can result in SR Penalties and Matchmaking Suspensions. Repeated disconnects will result in higher SR Penalties and longer Suspensions.
    • Note: Players that have been eliminated for over three minutes can disconnect from the match via “Leave Match” without penalties.
  • SR Forgiveness: If a matchmade teammate disconnects during a game and does not rejoin, you won’t lose any SR for the match. You’ll still be able to gain SR if you manage to gain more than your Deployment Fee. However, SR Forgiveness does not apply if a party member leaves the match early. 
  • Demotion Protection: Every time you are promoted to a new Division, you’ll gain 3 games of Demotion Protection where you won’t lose any SR. Once those games have passed, if you happen to lose enough SR where you would normally get demoted, you’ll instead only lose enough SR to reach the Division SR floor (Gold would be 2100 SR for example) to give you one more chance before getting demoted.
  • Party SR Restrictions: To ensure competitive fairness and balance of matches in higher Skill Divisions, players in certain Divisions can only party up with players around their current SR. The player with the highest Skill Division in the party determines which Party SR Restrictions are used: 
    • Bronze – Platinum: Can party up without any restrictions
    • Diamond: Can party within 2 Skill Divisions
    • Iridescent (Including Top 250) & Crimson: Can party with players within 1 Skill Division

Additional Features

  • Hot Streaks: Win a Ranked Play game to earn Victory Streak Flames that appear behind your Rank Icon in the lobby and in-game. Extend your win streak to progress the flames. Victory Streak Flames expire when you are eliminated or after 72 hours without playing a Ranked Play match. Go on a roll and the competition will know the heat is coming.
  • Social Profile: Your Warzone Ranked Play: Resurgence Rank & Division icon will be added to your Social profile anywhere your profile is viewed across Modern Warfare III and Call of Duty: Warzone.

Firearms

General

Today’s update includes substantial adjustments to core attributes of weapons in Modern Warfare III and Warzone. Prompted by player feedback and internal review, these changes intend to improve the precision and responsiveness of aiming, particularly while using a mouse – although, these changes may be observed regardless of the input device.

  • ADS Idle Sway
    • While a player is aimed down sight, idle sway is active. This mechanic discourages players from holding their sights for an extended period of time with a constant, subtle motion that introduces slight inaccuracy.
  • Hipfire Crosshair Sway
    • The trajectory of weapon bullets is represented by the hipfire crosshair position on the player’s screen. Previously, the crosshair was influenced by the direction of the weapon, causing the firing direction to deviate from the center of the screen. Today’s changes eliminate the resulting compromise to accuracy without sacrificing the weight and reactivity this motion added.
  • Looking Ahead
    • Please take some time to adjust to these changes and let us know how you feel. We’ll continue to monitor your feedback as we determine our next steps for aiming and related mechanics.

Call of Duty: Warzone

Call of Duty: Warzone, a free-to-play battle royale game developed by Raven Software and Infinity Ward, was published by Activision on March 10, 2020. Initially part of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, it later became linked to Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Vanguard, with no requirement to purchase the base titles.

The game supports 150-player online multiplayer combat, featuring cross-platform play and progression across platforms. Two primary modes, Battle Royale and Plunder, were available at launch. Warzone introduced an in-game currency system for use at “Buy Stations,” allowing players to acquire crucial items like “Loadout Drops.” Initially offering Trios, subsequent updates included Solos, Duos, and Quads.

Despite generally positive reviews, Warzone’s servers were slated to shut down on September 21, 2023, as Activision focused on developing Warzone 2.0. The game’s immense popularity was evident with six million downloads within 24 hours and surpassing 100 million downloads by April 2021. A sequel, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0, was released on November 16, 2022, with plans for a mobile version in development.

Call of Duty: Warzone Gameplay

Call of Duty: Warzone, the second main battle royale installment in the franchise, succeeded the “Blackout” mode of Call of Duty: Black Ops 4. Distinguishing itself by minimizing reliance on equipable gadgets, Warzone introduced an in-game currency, “Cash,” fostering a unique gameplay approach. Supporting up to 150 players per match, surpassing the standard “100 players” in other battle royales, Warzone featured two main modes at launch: Battle Royale and Plunder.

Numerous updates introduced additional game modes like “Resurgence.” The Battle Royale mode follows a shrinking map format, with respawns available through the “Gulag” or in-game currency. Plunder tasked teams with accumulating cash, and Resurgence allowed respawns based on squad survival. The original map, Verdansk, underwent a revamp with “Verdansk ’84,” while Rebirth Island and Caldera brought diverse settings. Fortune’s Keep, introduced later, added a Mediterranean-themed small island map.
