Strongholds in Warzone 2 have been divisive ever since they have been announced forward of its launch. The concept of getting fortresses riddled with AI enemies throughout the map, which then develop into key targets amongst gamers when activated due to the loot inside sounded good in concept.
However now it’s in observe, the group is torn over whether or not it’s a very good factor.
Some are calling on the Warzone 2 devs to take away it. They declare it doesn’t add something constructive to the battle royale expertise regardless of turning into a fundamental a part of the gameplay loop, and other people aren’t having fun with it.
Streamers have been roped into the talk too, and so they’re simply as divided as everybody else. Symfuhny, for instance, thinks they’re a very good addition. The 22-year-old star stated Strongholds are “really good” and “add to the gameplay,” however understands it’s an “unpopular opinion” within the Warzone 2 fandom.

CouRageJD isn’t as smitten by them, however isn’t completely in opposition to them both. “I actually don’t thoughts them,” stated the YouTube star. “I simply dislike the way it’s a endless swarm. It feels just like the bots are a coin flip. Both the worst ever or the reincarnation of Scump.”

FaZe Testy, nevertheless, went all-in together with his view. He believes the true objective of Strongholds is to provide unhealthy gamers (which he known as bots) an opportunity to “really feel higher about themselves,” and for that purpose, the devs would by no means take away it.
they added AIs to allow them to make bots really feel higher about themselves so there’s no manner they might take away that

Strongholds shook up the gameplay loop in Warzone 2 fairly a bit. They offer gamers one thing else to do, and the battles over them (and the ensuing loot) could be a little bit of a curveball.
It’ll be attention-grabbing to see how the builders tweak them within the coming weeks and months (if in any respect) to chill the waters and make them a extra viable addition within the eyes of its greatest critics.
Elimination appears unlikely since they have been marketed as a core new Warzone 2 characteristic, but when the divisiveness continues, something is actually attainable.
