Fans of the original Call of Duty: Warzone have gone through a pretty turbulent experience since the introduction of Warzone 2.0 and its DMZ component. After the sequel was released, Warzone 1 servers were first temporarily shut down for it to become a standalone title known as Warzone Caldera. However, players are now finding that the game no longer appears in console and PC digital marketplaces, leaving many to wonder if it still exists. Luckily, there does seem to be a workaround to play the battle royale. This guide will explain how you can play Warzone 1 and every mode it includes.
How To Download Call of Duty: Warzone Caldera on PC and Consoles
Surprisingly, you can still play Warzone 1 on both PC and consoles, but new players must spend money to do so. With the standalone version of Warzone Caldera removed from platforms’ marketplaces, returning players must now redownload the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare application from their libraries to play the battle royale. That said, if you want to play the original Warzonefor the first time, you will need to buy a physical or digital edition of Modern Warfare.
Once Modern Warfare installs, the main menu will prompt you to download Warzone Caldera Pack 1 and 2 to access its modes and your saved data. Although these packs have small file sizes, console players must have at least 100 GB of storage to install everything included in Warzone 1.
What Modes Can You Still Play in Warzone 1?
Those who have enjoyed Warzone 1 in its heyday shouldn’t expect the same experience this time. The only featured modes are Battle Royale Solos and Quads, each on the Caldera map. Thus, you can no longer play fan favorites like Battle Royale Duos, Plunder, and Resurgence. Its in-game storefront and Battle Pass system have also been removed.
