Call of Duty: Warzone 2’s map has seemingly leaked

It looks like the map for Call of Duty: Warzone 2, or at least a version of it, might have leaked. 

The leak comes by way of known industry insider and journalist, Tom Henderson, who has shared a drawing of the map on Try Hard Guides(opens in new tab), highlighting its main features and some points of interest. 

As Henderson points out, the Warzone 2 map shown has plenty of water and that, he claims, is because Warzone 2 will introduce a swimming mechanic. Though swimming has been a mechanic in previous Call of Duty titles, this would be the first time we’d see it in the Warzone games. It’s just as well, really, given all the leaks recently. 

Henderson’s map reveal follows a minimap drawing reveal from TheMW2Ghost on Twitter(opens in new tab) earlier this month and he highlights just where on his map that the minimap fits. In terms of the overall map size, Henderson points out that “a basic map drawing does not give justice to the scale of the map, but from my impressions it does seem bigger than that of Verdansk and Caldera, especially considering if the grid reference is accurate.”

In the report, Henderson also makes reference to another use for the map: the long-rumored-but-not-actually-officially-confirmed DMZ mode in Modern Warfare 2. According to the report, “It’s believed that both Warzone 2 and the DMZ will share the same map in some capacity”, with Henderson’s own sources suggesting “that the DMZ will indeed share the same map, with one source saying ‘why make more maps for two different modes when you can just build it in one’.”

The map won’t, he suggests, be playable all at once in DMZ, instead offering “portions” of the map to be playable as “sub-levels”. 

Though we now have a release date of October 28 for Call of
