When Season 3 arrived to Call of Duty: Warzone, bringing with it new weapons, a new operator, vehicle skins and more, the excitement regarding that new content was drowned out by severe dissatisfaction over something that was removed.
The new Quads mode replaced the original Trios - but now it's back.
Following a fan outcry of epic proportions, centered at the Warzone Subreddit, Activision has made the original Battle Royale mode featuring teams of three available again, alongside the new Quads and the Solos mode added a while ago. Infinity Ward tweeted regarding the playlist update earlier today.
Many players were surprised when they saw that Trios was outright removed after the Season 3 update, since none of the press releases from Activision or Infinity Ward indicated this would happen. Quads was always billed as an additional new mode being added to the game instead of it replacing the original setup.
The original reasoning behind having just two modes at any given time in rotation was to avoid fracturing the community too much, an issue another Battle Royale game had to deal with. After adding several maps and modes, all available at the same time, PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds faced long matchmaking times forcing players to wait often. Understandably, Activision wanted to avoid this.
