News - Warzone 2: The Key Gameplay Changes Coming Next Update
This entire past year of war zone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 is year of support there are so many things that were broken and then just there was no fix for them for at least like a month I don't know if you forgot already or Not by now but last year the only updates we got, outside of the launch window were seasonal updates and season Rel load updates there were like maybe one to two exceptions of that but six seasons, we had maybe like 14 title updates so if something was broken it wasn't going to be fixed until at least a month later like you could notice this the day of the update going out and then be like well guess war zone or Moder Warfare 3 is kind of chocked for at least a month and again that was at the earliest, there were multiple things that were broken that did not get fixed in the very next update but instead, lasted.
One or two seasons after the initial problem was introduced, some not even fixed, the best examples I can think of were the bird's eye at the beginning of the year that was genuinely a broken perk, and to their credit, it was removed, if I'm not mistaken, off the perk package list for a bit of the base default ones because, at the beginning, if you guys remember, you could not actually customize your perk packages, but it was removed off that perk package list in the ones available for the default loadouts.
But if I remember correctly, the big thing that then became a problem was that players somehow got access to customizable. Perk packages, which again at the beginning of the year was not a thing; eventually it was, but some players, not all players, had the ability to customize their perk packages, so some people could put that Bird's Eye Perk on their custom perk packages, whereas other players just didn't even have the option to access the perk at all, and at that point, it was even bugged further because the UAV of any player, not just your team, pinged in that advanced UAV style as it normally does, but again giving you any UAV coverage, so double whammy on what was broken.
This was what I'm pretty sure was that bug that a studio executive we've talked about before said they weren't aware of it despite it being the most persisting bug for a whole month and the most advertised bug out there at the beginning of the game but I'm going to refrain from getting frustrated we're not going to relive that conversation and tell that story again but another one was the revive pistol, great gameplay Edition I thought honestly I love being able to save my teammates from just shooting them from afar with that and getting them back up if needed but halfway through the year it created this bug where if it was in your inventory you would end up skipping your down state if you were down and just die automatically whether you had a self-revive or you had Squad mates up it didn't matter you just died that lasted for 3 and A2 Seasons.
To the point where I'm pretty sure it was still busted, up until the launch of war zone as we have now before it was just removed entirely out of the loot pool all you had to do was remove those and fix them balance them in the back end but don't let them persist in the public playlists, it's not like those were associated with skins or anything where people could have bought that maybe shirt would have gotten legal involved but like when you have a gamebreaking problem remove it from the game that's the easiest way to get rid of that problem so players don't have to suffer while you work on a fix in the background so sorry didn't mean to go off on a tangent or anything here at this but like that is how I think these changes for these big things that are gamebreaking.
It should have been handled, and it looks like maybe going into the future here we're going to see that handled now as such, which is a huge win. I think anyway, getting off on a tangent, there are apologies for that. We'll also see additional fixes for crashes and stability. Bugs perpetually plating one down that should be fixed there's a resupply bug where you'll resupply the wrong items that should be fixed there should be a fix for notification, for redeploys, not playing consistently which is a huge one and very thankful if the fix does come in with that the breacher Drone does more damage than intended that should be fixed out the ghog tokens not turning into Cash When the ghog closes should be fixed we should in theory also return C Dead Silence return likely that was removed as the other attachment types were here that we just mentioned because there was a bug with dead silence, there still should be a fix inbound for that dead silence HUD element despite not being active I think that I've noticed this mostly whenever I'm on zip lines I don't know if that's the like 100% sure fire trigger for why that happens but I've noticed it here and there that after I do that's when I see that effect still on screen, armor plates they're investigating an issue where armor plates equipped in the gulong will not transfer back to the real match that should be fixed out and on the larger scale items the Precision air strike notification.
That should have some fixes here to it, though honestly, while that's mentioned. I don't know that I'm that hopeful for it because it's been now three and a half, almost four, years since the war zone was launched and the Precision Air strikes. I still have that issue where notifications don't appear.
For me, honestly, I think the easiest way to mitigate this is, I don't know, why not just have a ring of where the danger closed zone is, where it's called in? I mean, mortars have it; why can't precision air strikes? I feel like that mitigates so much of the potential issues and complaints players would have about not getting that popup banner ribbon because maybe I wouldn't get that notification, normally because I was out of the zone, but maybe I run into it, and that's the Again part, where I'm like.
I didn't get a notification. What the hell is Call of Duty? I wouldn't know unless I saw where that zone was, if it was something that was user error or something that was on the game's end, and sure, maybe that's a part of the streak's benefit if you want to call it that, but is it? I don't think it'd be too much of a Nerf to the streak—nearly as much as people would counter, saying that it would be.
That's just me, though. Anyway, on the smaller side of things, here we ALS also see fixes to the Resurgence rotation UI on the menus, showing proper and accurate locations of where you're ending up dropping into for that rotation. The fixes for calling cards being improperly displayed on the after action report and fixes for private matches; having a rejoin feature that actually properly functions; all in all, pretty good stuff I think should be coming in the next updates here, and I'm all for that obviously; things like weapon balancing and stuff like that can happen, but in terms of stuff that is confirmed.
Or at least talked about this is what we know of for sure weapon balancing; it could be anything; they could end up, for some reason, deciding to buff the M4 or the HCR from Modern Warfare 2 and nerfing. Full transparency: yes, they are a bit of an investment, but I do think that your vision is absolutely worth investing in, especially if you're like me and looking at a monitor, phone, or gaming for a good chunk of the day.
