At some point since the launch of Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, Activision has made the call to overwrite Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's PC version with Call of Duty: Warzone. The free-to-play battle royale rendition of the popular shooter has become a smash hit, growing into a competitor to Fortnite and Apex Legends in the space of live-service shooters. While it was introduced during the era of Modern Warfare, Warzone now has weapons and features from both the 2019 title and Black Ops Cold War, bridging the gap between Call of Duty sequels for the first time. There's no sign that Warzone will slow down anytime soon, meaning that big changes will likely come to future games to accommodate the always-online experience.

So, in that way, it does make sense that Warzone would be the game that Activision wants to promote on the Battle.net launcher. As spotted by PC Gamer, anyone who loads up Activision Blizzard's PC gaming destination will now see that Warzone has completely replaced Call of Duty: Modern Warfare under the "Partner Games" tab, even for those who have purchased and own the full version of the mainline game. It's unusual that a free-to-play game would completely overtake something that players paid money for, but there's thankfully no actual change to what's available in-game. Modern Warfare purchasers are still able to play their game, but it's almost as though it's become a add-on of sorts to Warzone rather than the other way around.
The transition to making Call of Duty: Warzone the heart of the franchise was anything but smooth, but it does seem like a step towards the ideal scenario for fans going forward. Much like Fortnite and other live-service battle royales, Call of Duty has gotten new content of all shapes and sizes for years. The only issue is that it's been split into yearly $60 releases that fans have religiously picked up most years. If Activision can structure the yearly Call of Duty releases around a successful free to play engine, perhaps the games themselves can continue to be add-on packs that don't carry a full price tag. Perhaps multiplayer-only players can just grab a new experience every so often for a discount. Perhaps the future of Warzone is a single launcher just called Call of Duty. 2ff7e9595c
