According to Steam data, the Call of Duty: Warzone 2 player count has been dropping since the battle royale's launch in November. Anticipation was high leading up to Call of Duty: Warzone 2's release, as many Call of Duty fans felt burned by the removal of Verdansk and the introduction of the divisive Caldera map in the original game. The reaction to Call of Duty: Warzone 2 was mostly positive at first, and while the game is still generally regarded in a better light than Caldera, it does seem to be struggling to maintain its massive player base.
