News - Warzone 2 Is Broken
A lot of the updates we see crossover between all the titles, essentially; however, despite the new updates that we're seeing, you know, every couple of days, there are still, in my opinion, a lot of major changes that need to happen for War Zone 2's gameplay to just generally improve. We're talking major gameplay fixes that, honestly at this point, might be a bit overdue.
Basically i just want to make it as easy as possible to understand what "these major issues" are and why they need fixing right now, so, you know, anyone from Call of Duty. Raven or Infinity Ward, who might see this article, can have a smoother time getting these fixes implemented in the game, and ultimately we can leave a positive impact on the game.
Communication & transparency needs improvement in warzone 2 & mw2
I feel like it will improve over time; they just have to get back into the swing of things in terms of general communication. And mainly, I'm saying this because I already have. You know, when they say that they're fixing various crashes, they're not saying which crashes they're fixing, so we don't know for sure if one specific one is getting fixed or if it's one that might not happen a lot, but it was an easy fix.
You know that the transparency, the frequency, and the great communication that Raven built up over Warzone during the two years that they were leading were fantastic. They did such a great job. We still haven't gotten back to that in full, so the communication in general is a major update that I feel like could be improved upon as we see more patch notes and as we see more updates released here in the future.
Warzone 2.0 & modern warfare 2 settings resetting
Getting into actual gameplay updates, though, there are things that are affecting tons of players, and tons of players, according to the comments and even my own experience here, change their settings constantly. Upon reset, this happens again. Console: This happens on PC. I know that on consoles specifically, there are a lot of issues with keybinds always getting reset if you are trying to use a keyboard; those are always getting messed up and reset, so you have to go in and redo them every time you boot up the game.
I know that every time I launch the game, whether I'm going into MW2, multiplayer, dropping into DMZ, or some other part of Zone 2. I have to always double check my settings because it seems like those are being reset all the time, whether it's flipping down my render resolution to make the game look terrible or changing all my settings from low to high so I'm getting worse frames. When you go to launch the game, you never know when something might be a reset or something might have changed to something that you don't want it to.
Dmz reconnect feature is a must have
Since we're focusing specifically on DMZ here, I've been grinding a lot of DMZ recently. Overall, the gameplay is really enjoyable, but the disconnects and crashes are still issues.
I don't feel like that is something that should be a thing; you shouldn't be punished because the game's stability is not where it needs to be, and we'll get to that in just a moment, trust me, but yeah, an "I'll reconnect" feature in the DMZ would be a huge quality of life improvement.
Warzone 2 looting is messy!
Uh Let's also talk about loot here because this, in the DMZ and in War Zone 2, is still personally very messy.
The body bag system, whatever that inventory system it, is what it is, is not my favorite thing ever. I much prefer the old loot ways of War Zone, but I also don't hate it. I can adapt to it, and that's fine, but the actual loot on the ground when you are, you know, trying to loot enemies that you've taken out or if there's a lot of loot in one specific place, it's almost impossible.
It definitely needs some major updates real quick. The best class setups, the best loadouts, and the best tips to help you improve in the game are all here, so this is your one-stop shop for all that. Let's try and aim for 2500 likes on this one.
Warzone 2 crashing, lagging, & overall stability
Now, you heard me earlier refer to server stability and constantly disconnecting, which is crashing. All of this stability stuff definitely needs improving, and it will be. I mean, this is one that is constantly going to be improved over time. It's not like crashing was non-existent in any of the previous Cod titles as well, although this year it does seem to be a bit more extreme; there are a lot of stability issues with lobbies going to 190 ping and playing on a PowerPoint; there are a lot of issues with developer errors; and there are a lot of issues with crashing regardless.
You know, platform consoles get it, and PCs especially get it with the dev errors and the different disconnects, so there's a lot of stability issues that, really. I would say, should be priority number one. You know, what good is new content if you can't play the game to access said content? What good is going for missions and EMZ? If the progress isn't tracking because you can't X-fill because you disconnect and can't reconnect back into stability, that really should be a top priority and definitely needs some big-time updates.
Warzone 2 and dmz ping system isn␙t accurate
On the next topic, pinging, this also applies to the DMZ in a war zone as well as the pinging system in general, which is still not all that great.
The accuracy of the pings I've noticed is very strange sometimes. I'll try and ping something on the minimap, but it's not exactly where you're trying to ping the loadout drops when those come in during the middle of a match and you try and ping those to figure out exactly where you need to go. It's completely inaccurate.
It'll ping a loadout drop that's like under the map in the opposite direction of where you need to go. So even the general ping system certainly needs improvements. I'm not sure how it took such a large step back from War Zone 1, where the Ping system worked. It's definitely not that case this year, so hopefully we get back to the same situation as in the previous war zone, where there weren't issues with pings going on basically all games Long this.
Double xp countdown timer is still missing
This is another simple one, and honestly, this one applies to multiplayer. DMZ, and Warzone 2, but it's simple but necessary in my opinion: an XP countdown timer for when you activate Double XP and Double Weapon XP. People value their double XP tokens and double weapon XP tokens, especially this year, because leveling up weapons is so important to unlock other attachments, meta attachments, and other weapons as well in this new system.
