Call of Duty is a long-running series of military action games made by Activision. Modern Warfare is one of its best-known branches, combining a single-player story with competitive online multiplayer matches.
The games are usually released each year or on a regular cycle, with early test periods allowing players to try parts of a new title before launch. These betas are normally focused on online modes, where players compete alone or in teams across different maps.
Warzone is the series’ free-to-play battle royale game, in which large numbers of players fight to be the last person or team remaining. Resurgence is a faster version of that format, allowing teammates to return to the match under certain conditions.
