Warzone Halloween event from Infinity Ward could soon be upon us in the coming weeks.

The "Haunting of Verdansk" kicks off for Call of Duty (COD): Warzone players on Oct. 20, and it's no secret that the community is already hyped. What better way to spend a quarantined holiday than blasting through some spooky tactics with a good team?

Here's a short list of all the things we would like to see in the new frightening seasonal event coming to Warzone.

Warzone Halloween Event: 5 Things We Want

1. New Frightening Enemies

What better way to spice up a holiday event than with some appropriately themed enemies? This may be one of the easiest things to implement to an already existing map. They can add the extra transformative flavor and really make the map feel like Halloween. Who knows? Maybe these assets already exist in previous games.

2. Cool Seasonal Skins

One of the best ways to celebrate a holiday is with some limited edition seasonal exclusive skins. Fortunately, Halloween is full of sweet treats and tricky ideas to inspire any artistic team. Why not let players dress up as the Horseman of Sleepy Hollow or a Poisonous Pumpkin Poltergeist?

3. Extra-paranormal Encounters

All new thematic encounters could be exactly what players need to truly get into the season. Imagine traversing the map well-worn by community members past only to find mobs the likes of which have only been seen in nightmares—or, perhaps, previous games.

4. Limited-Time Event Mode

A night map has already been confirmed by the recently released trailer, after all. What else could be done with it besides a whole new take on the game audiences love? Most of the branding for the event contains spooky forests and haunting eventide strolls. A wave mode to hold back these seasonal specters may be one of the best ways to inspire the community.

5. ZOMBIES

C'mon, Infinity Ward! The "Haunting of Verdansk" already points directly toward the supernatural and undead. We've waited long enough, haven't we?
