Good news for all the Warzone players out there who are looking for a more personal and intense experience with their enemies. Infinity Ward and Raven Software have announced that Warzone 2 is bringing back the 1v1 Gulag for the game's second season. This change is in response to player feedback, as many criticized the current 2v2 Gulag system that was introduced in Warzone 2.
For those who may not be familiar with Warzone's Gulag feature, it quickly became one of the game's most popular aspects. After falling on the battlefield, players were transported to a small arena where they were given the opportunity to battle their way back into the game. It was a brutal contest of wits and skill, and it was a true test of a player's abilities. Or, if you play Warzone like I do, it was more a test of how fast you can run and how quickly you can mash that attack button when surprised in the dark.
However, with the introduction of Warzone 2, the Gulag system underwent a significant overhaul. Instead of a 1v1 faceoff, when players entered the Gulag they were paired with another player for a 2v2 match. This change was met with mixed reactions from players, as the additional players meant that the map got expanded, eliminating some of the adrenaline and intensity of the original. Many players also argued that they were teamed up with another player that didn't communicate well, which put them at a disadvantage. And to make matters worse, the developers also added a minigun-wielding jailer to deal with, which was a bit of a hat on a hat.
1v1’s are back in Battle Royale.

Gulag updates are coming in Season 02. We’ll be sharing more details about this in next week’s studio blog.@RavenSoftware
But now, the developers have listened to the feedback and decided to bring back the 1v1 Gulag, which is sure to be a welcome change for many players. It is unclear at this point if the revert back to the 1v1 Gulag will also eliminate the larger map and the gun-wielding NPC, but the developer promises that more news on the changes will be made available in the coming week.
Speaking of the Season 2 update, it looks like players will need to wait a little longer for it as Activision recently confirmed that the release has been pushed until February 15. But, the wait will be worth it as the developers have promised that the new season will bring a lot of exciting new features and changes to the game.
Overall, the return of the 1v1 Gulag is a positive change that should make the game more exciting and intense for players. The 2v2 Gulag was a nice experiment, but the developers have learned that the original 1v1 version was what made the game stand out. With the return of the 1v1 Gulag, Warzone 2 is sure to be a hit once again.
