As always, there is a fresh playlist for Warzone and Black Ops Cold War this week. Let's see what the weekly update brings after the long awaited event in Warzone turned out to be rather... small.

Warzone is celebrating its first birthday and we were all eagerly awaiting March 11 when, according to countless leakers, something big was supposed to happen. Then it happened: The Zombies moved to Verdansk. That's it. Yup...

Let's see if this playlist update can offer something to alleviate our disappointment a little.
