General
Call of Duty: Warzone" supports 200-player matches starting tonight.

The "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Season 4 Reloaded" update is big in two ways: first, the update will go from 22GB to 30GB, and if you update all copies of Modern Warfare, not just Warzone, the maximum 36GB. And second, the number of players in a Warzone Quads match will increase from 150 to 200.

This means 50 teams of four, which is a lot of people to try to win in CoD's free-to-play battle royale mode. Does more players mean longer matches or more intense combat at the start? We'll find out when the update goes live tonight at 11 p.m. PST. [According to the Activision blog, it's a "limited time" mode, but we don't know how limited it is right now.

Back to the topic of download size, the good news is that when huge updates are installed, Warzone's overall size will be smaller. While this will not be comforting to those with slow or capped Internet connections, I am trying to find the silver lining whenever possible.

Also added to Warzone in this update is a "supply run deal" that gives discounts if you go to certain purchase stations within a time limit, a "juggernaut royale" mode, and a spotter scope for marking enemies. New maps and new modes will be added for regular Call of Duty: Modern Warfare multiplayer. You can read about all the additions in the announcement article.
