A parents guide to Call of Duty: Warzone
At Childnet we monitor the latest online crazes, apps and games. Recently the game ‘Warzone’ was released, this is a free to download game which is part of the extremely popular Call of Duty Series. In this blog we are giving guidance to parents about Warzone, looking at what the game is and highlighting some of the things to be aware of.
What is Warzone?
Warzone is a free to play online game, which is part of the Call of Duty series. It is a stand-alone expansion for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare.
The most popular game within Warzone is Battle Royale. Similar to Fortnite, 150 players compete against each other to be the last person standing in player vs player (PVP) combat. Players use military style weapons, such as machine guns and grenades to kill their opponents.
With three new categories - You can now enter the Childnet FIlm Competition from home!
As schools remain closed, we know that many families are looking for projects they can do that are fun, educational and that children can do independently. To help with this we have redesigned the Childnet Film Competition for 2020.
You can now create great educational films as a home learning project, with categories that can also be used in school for those who are still attending school.
To make this work we have extended the closing date to 22nd June 2020 and created three brand new categories; one for solo entrants, one as a project for a group, and finally, a chance to create a storyboard and script.
