gamespot.com:

The latest Call of Duty: Warzone patch is out now, and in addition to the new Season 3 Reloaded content changing Caldara, it also drastically reduces the player count across all battle royale matches--from 150 down to 120. You can see full details in the patch notes below.

Developer Raven Software said the team is «very conscious» of making sure Warzone's mid-game «doesn't feel unfairly claustrophobic...» Dropping the player count to 120 is part of the studio's effort to determine if this helps improve match flow. Raven said this is only a «trial» and that it will collect player data and review fan sentiment around the change.

This change comes to Warzone in thebig Season 3 Reloaded update, which also adds the Serpentine perk. This reduces damage taken while moving. Additionally, a new underground fast-travel system on Caldera is added with the update, while new items like a speed boost buff and extra Gulag tokens can now be found on the map. Additionally, a redeploy token has been added to the Buy Station, allowing players to simply redeploy on the map without needing to enter the Gulag first.

Another notable change is that movement speed while downed has been increased, while the cost of a buyback token has decreased from $4,000 to $3,000. You can see the full patch notes below.
