Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone are getting their last patch before the release of Black Ops Cold War, and unsurprisingly it's light on changes. Outside of a few quality-of-life updates and some bug fixes, the biggest change is the addition of private Warzone matches so you and your friends can have Verdansk all to yourselves.
Prepare to go dark in Call of Duty®: Modern Warfare® The stakes have never been higher as players take on the role of lethal Tier One operators in a heart-racing saga that will affect the global balance of power. Developed by the studio that started it all, Infinity Ward delivers an epic reimagining of the iconic Modern Warfare series from the ground up. CoD: Modern Warfare - Rumors on Beta, Battle Royale and New Trailer. On Twitter there was a lot of - so far unofficial - information about the upcoming launch of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and the upcoming beta-tests of the game. Rumors include the battle royale mode and future DLCs, among other things. If battle royale is part of the plan, though, expect the developers to start giving some hints as Modern Warfare's October release date nears. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare releases October 25.
Warzone's new private matches will allow players to start lobbies and play with only the people they invite. However, there is a minimum player count to start each match, since there's only so much server space to go around. Each of the three Private modes has its own player requirement:
- Battle Royale — 50 players minimum
- Plunder — 30 players minimum
- Mini Battle Royale — 24 players minimum
Both battle royale and Plunder will allow players to play with squad variations if they want more players in each squad.
While this is the last big patch before Black Ops Cold War's release, Warzone and Modern Warfare won't link up to the newest Call of Duty entry until December, when all three games start their first combined season.
For a look at everything that changed in this patch, you can check out the full patch notes.

The March 3rd release date for Warzone in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare was wrong, but fans still believe Battle Royale is on the horizon.
Supposed in-game clues had suggested Warzone could be coming to Call Of Duty Modern Warfare on March 3rd, but that obviously didn't come to fruition. However, despite this not happening, Call Of Duty fans still believe there isn't a long wait left for Battle Royale to be implemented.
As mentioned in the original story of this piece, aside from March 3rd there was also the rumoured release date of March 10th backed by leaker TheGamingRevolution.
Although he doesn't specifically state the date, Twitch streamer Dr. Disrespect has suggested that this is true by hinting that Battle Royale will arrive in Call Of Duty Modern Warfare as soon as next week.
This could happen seeing as it would land on a Tuesday, but for now it's all speculation so – as we advised before – don't get overly excited because nothing is concrete.
Original story:
All anyone has been talking about and asking for since the launch of Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Season 2 is Battle Royale mode. There have been countless leaks prior to this second season including loading screens and its map, and there have also been a dozen reports about its supposed release date. However, while no one can confirm as of now when Warzone is definitely coming to Modern Warfare, the game does appear to tease a fast-approaching release date in March.
There have been several Battle Royale leaks during Call Of Duty Modern Warfare Season 2 such as players being able to visit the Warzone map teased in the opening cinematic. However, aside from this, there hasn't been anything concrete about its release date as prior rumours had it pegged for February.
While we still can't definitely say when Battle Royale is coming to Modern Warfare, what we can look at is some speculated in-game teases which imply a very sudden release date in March.

This supposed clue isn't very assuring as the 'blank map' doesn't really resemble a map at all. While this will understandably not be enough for you to put on your tinfoil hat, their other ‘clue' is the Picaddily map featuring a film poster promoting a fictional movie named Warbeast for March 3rd.
Warzone. Warbeast. Hmm.
Hmm… Could this be a hint towards the Call of Duty Warzone release date?
'Warbeast – in cinemas from March 3rd.'

Although Warzone coming to Modern Warfare tomorrow would be very exciting, leaker TheGamingRevolution believes it will instead arrive on March 10th.
DigitalTrends notes that there have been rumours of Warzone being a standalone free-to-play title, so they have speculated that the Battle Royale mode could enter Early Access for Modern Warfare players on March 3rd before fully releasing seven days later.

As of writing, all of the above is pure speculation rather than anything concrete. The release date for Warzone isn't confirmed, so don't become too excited as your hopes could easily be flushed down the toilet tomorrow.
