Like most games,Warzonehas had its fair share of good and bad times over the years. Still, some players claim that the battle royale is at its lowest point ever, describing it as “seriously the most miserable experience [they’ve] ever had playingCoD.”
In a post on theWarzonesubreddit on April 29, kris9512listedseven issues they discovered while playing, including severe lag,audio issues, map design, a boring loot system, terrible netcode, time-to-kill being too quick, and arguing that skill-based matchmaking is still too strong.
“How any of you still play this is beyond me,” they wrote. “Do the devs care anymore? Good job Resurgence is somewhat fun.”
Unfortunately for Activision, the feeling was shared by many in the thread. Oneclaimedthis was the “lowestWZhas ever been,” while anothersuggestedit was “one of the worst games” they’d ever played and was “just bad overall.”
For many, their biggest issue is the current battle royale map Urzikstan. The original post called it “appalling,” while another post said they felt that there are “no interesting POIs” and has too many rooftops for players to camp on.
For me, the biggest problem withWarzoneright now is that it feels like two different games. At one point, Resurgence felt like an additional mode to Battle Royale, but now, the two modes feel increasingly separate, affecting how I play the game. Truthfully, I’ve played Battle Royale for one night in the last three months, and these days, I just go straight to Resurgence.
Urzikstan is definitely part of the reason. I really don’t enjoy playing that map, so it drives me towards Resurgence. As mentioned by the Redditors above, the map lends itself to camping rooftops, and at this point, I don’t want to spend all my time sneaking around hoping I don’t get sniped by someone I don’t see. Perhaps it’s my age, but I’m only interested in having fun and getting into crazy gunfights, and Resurgence is s much better as a mode for that kind of gameplay.
With a new Treyarch-developedCall of Dutytitle expected later this year, it’ll be interesting to see howWarzonewill change. It definitely feels like major updates are required.
