Headquarters
Everything We Learned About Call of Duty: WWII’s Multiplayer at E3 2017
One other feature that was briefly teased back at the game’s initial reveal in April was Headquarters. Little was actually revealed about how Headquarters would work, but after some hands-on time with the game and speaking to members of Call of Duty: WWII’s development team, we got a slightly clearer picture.
For those unaware, Headquarters is going to work in a similar way to Destiny’s Tower. It’s a social hub for players to jump into, hang out with other players, try out different weapons, and complete challenges. If you want to engage in 1v1 battles with other players, you can do so in the Pit. If you want to simply improve your accuracy with an unfamiliar weapon, you can do that at the shooting range. Daily challenges will also allow you to earn rewards, but, unfortunately, specifics weren’t shared at this time.
With up to 48 players supported in a Headquarters, these social spaces have the opportunity to redefine the way that players spend the intermissions between matches. You’ll be able to quickly jump in, show off your new gear or mad aiming skills, and then jump back into the action. It’ll also have a cool new way of making Prestiging in Call of Duty: WWII a much bigger deal than in previous titles, but more on that later.
