The first Gulag renovation was announced this week in a tweet from the Infinity Ward and Raven Software that put the important info right up front: 1v1s are back in Warzone 2's battle royale modes. That's presumably just the first part of the changes, too, since the developers teased that they'll have more to share about the Gulag update next week in one of the many blog posts that preview upcoming Call of Duty content.
While the 1v1 format in the first Warzone may not have always matched players up fairly in terms of skill levels, it at least gave players control over their own fate in that if they lost the fight, they had only themselves to blame. Warzone 2 change that, however, by forcing players into 2v2 fights where they had to count on a teammate to pull their weight. That's not too different from any other kind of team-based multiplayer setup, but when the previous option was 1v1, 2v2 wasn't quite as appealing to many.
It shouldn't be difficult to imagine then the responses to this change. Lots of "W" replies, a couple of streamers indicating that their requests had been validated now that this is changing, and plenty of other different kinds of responses that culminated in this being received as a win overall.
