Will Warzone 2 bundles carry over?

The straight answer is no – Activision has confirmed Warzone 2 features entirely new progression systems, and no bundles, blueprints, operators, or cosmetics will carry over from previous Call of Duty titles. This understandably comes as disappointing news to many dedicated players who‘ve amassed impressive Warzone inventories.

As a passionate gamer and content creator myself, I also felt let down after initially hearing existing purchases wouldn‘t make the jump. However, when considering Warzone 2 as a true sequel launching the franchise into a new era, a full reset makes reasonable sense.

Contrasting Warzone 2 and Warzone Caldera

While Warzone 2 kicks off completely fresh, the original Warzone will live on as Warzone Caldera, retaining all progression systems and purchased items. This table outlines the key differences:

As we can see, Warzone Caldera acts as the legacy experience where veterans can showcase their hard-earned unlocks, while Warzone 2 offers next-gen tech for the wider audience.

Why Don‘t Bundles Carry Over? Player Questions Answered

Naturally, uncertainty around the Warzone 2 transition has birthed many questions for players to which I‘ll provide expert answers.

Q: Does purchasing bundles now entitle me to copies in Warzone 2?

A: Unfortunately not – with entirely new content pipelines and inventory databases for Warzone 2, previous bundle ownership does not grant duplicates. However, items will remain in Warzone Caldera.

Q: Could bundle sharing happen later down the line?

A: Potentially! With Activision accounts now linking multiple Call of Duty titles together, asset sharing could emerge further into Warzone 2‘s life cycle. But the launch reset puts all on even footing.

Q: Don‘t I deserve my purchases in the new game?

A: The feeling is understandable. But as a content creator myself, we must remember Warzone 2 marks a technical overhaul – new content better serves to showcase the power, even if it stings temporarily.

The Bottom Line: A Necessary Reset with Exciting Potential

Resetting inventories allows Warzone 2‘s development team to craft new weapon blueprints, operators, cosmetics and progression systems completely tailored for the sequel‘s engine and gameplay systems without restriction. This paves the way for far greater innovation, even if the transition proves rocky at first.

As someone lucky enough to have played Warzone 2 already, I can confidently say the future looks incredibly bright. The fluidity of movement, revamped combat pace, and next-gen graphical showcase mark monumental leaps – no doubt thanks to this built-from-scratch approach.

While starting from zero may sting our collective gamer pride, have faith that Activision is playing the long game here – and when Warzone 2 soars to new heights, the growing pains of today will pay off tenfold. It‘s why we endure reboots and rebuilds – the promise of new frontiers never before seen.

So to all players worried of abandoning their hard-won inventories, fret not – enjoy the fresh start, as pioneers on the ultimate gaming frontier. The race has begun anew, and our adventures on the Warzone await!
