One group of gamers learned a decidedly painful lesson about the dangers of playing around train tracks inCall of Duty: Warzone 2, sharing a hilarious video of the fatal aftermath online. The free-to-play shooter from Infinity Ward and Raven Software just received a substantial injection of new content as part of thelatestWarzone 2updatecelebrating the launch of Season 2.
Arriving just two years after the release of the originalCall of Duty: Warzone,Call of Duty: Warzone 2largely retained the same structure as its predecessor while introducing some new, occasionally controversial, changes to the first game’s formula. AlthoughWarzone 2has received a generally favorable reception from many critics and players, with the humans-vs-AI DMZ mode earning particularly high marks, some gamers have continued to express frustration with what they perceive as ongoing issues with weapon balance and some elements of the core gameplay. In a move that the publisher surely hopes will satisfy some still-salty players, Activision recently announced that aRanked mode is coming toWarzone 2, possibly as part of Season 3.

In a hilarious new video shared on the r/CODWarzone subreddit by Redditor cap_blueberry, viewers get a front-row seat to the mayhem that can occur when unobservant gamers linger just a bit too long on thetrain tracks in Al Mazrah. The short clip shows cap_blueberry and their squadmates slowly making their way across the map as they open fire on a group of pinged enemies in the distance in the distance before stopping at what seems like an ideal vantage point atop some nearby train tracks. The players continue to take potshots at their fleeing opponents before the clip comes to an abrupt and hilarious end as a speeding train comes through and eliminates the entire squad.

Fans ofWarzone 2responding to the post found the video of cap_blueberry and their squadmates being wiped by what the post title cleverly referred to as “Thomas the Flank Engine” to be hilarious, with some commenters stating that they literally laughed out loud upon viewing it. Replying to a post jokingly pointing out that playing near train tracks is a bad idea, cap_blueberry responded that “mom had it right I suppose.” Another commenter attempted to commiserate with the squished squad, laughingly stating that they were hit by the train twice in one night.
While a decided lack of situational awareness may have cost this squad the game, at least the aftermath provides a good laugh and an important lesson for viewers. Here’s hoping trains inthe nextCall of Dutygamefeature slightly louder whistles.
