Hajin and Zodiac

Modern Warfare 4 Warzone

Modern Warfare 4 map still used for the Warzone Hajin and Zodiac briefing

Warzone is not a third MW4 install mode. It is the free battle royale that will eat MW4’s geography in Season 01. Infinity Ward’s own line on August 21, 2026: two maps day one of that season — Hajin for Battle Royale, Zodiac for Resurgence. Zodiac was playable in Open Beta Weekend Two (August 28–September 1). Hajin BR is not the same ruleset as DMZ Hajin, even if the dirt is shared.

Last-gen Warzone is being wound down around that season. PS4 and Xbox One already lost new downloads and the store; playability ends when Season 01 starts. Platform context: platforms.

Hajin as a battle royale map

Call of Duty’s own post: Hajin is shaped by the MW4 campaign and becomes the new big BR map in Season 01. Press described an exclusion zone on the Korean Peninsula with Fallout reactor radiation, a prison, Hajin City ruins, and a military base — the same POI language as DMZ. Expect circle and loadout rules, not extract helicopters as the win condition.

Do not loot-route a DMZ stash plan into BR. Trait trees, FOB printers, and MIA wipes are DMZ systems. BR Hajin is a different playlist on related terrain. Read DMZ if you want the raid loop.

Zodiac Resurgence

Zodiac is the new Resurgence map. Official marketing sold POIs and “just one more” drop language ahead of Call of Duty: NEXT. Raven Software confirmed it was playable in Open Beta Weekend Two. Quads was the playlist name in the August 28 patch notes (“Zodiac Resurgence — Quads”). That was the first time a Warzone mode shipped inside a Call of Duty beta.

Resurgence means fast respawns while your squad is alive, not a full BR buy-station novel. If you only have an hour, Zodiac is the Warzone test that actually existed in August. Hajin BR is the Season 01 promise.

What the beta proved — and what it did not

Weekend Two attached Warzone to the MW4 beta client. That does not make Warzone a MW4 campaign unlock. Loadouts, movement, and Ballistic Authority from the MW4 gunsmith carried into those playlists. Ranked 6v6 still lives on core maps.

Eurogamer noted Steam concurrent numbers barely moved in Weekend Two even with Warzone attached. Treat that as a population footnote, not a review of Zodiac’s layout. For how the guns felt after the TTK patches, tier list and beta patch notes.
