Some Call of Duty players were frustrated by the merger of Warzone with Black Ops Cold War, which they think “ruined” the acclaimed Battle Royale.
Since the launch of Warzone in March 2020, more than 75 million players have fallen on Verdansk and / or Rebirth Island. Activision saw its first year grow and be an undeniable success, but the merger with Treyarch’s Cold War Black Ops was an unprecedented step for the FPS series.
Despite the long-term collaboration between the development studios, it was the first time that a game mode developed by Infinity Ward has been expanded to include Treyarch weapons, streaks and more.
While some liked to see the content of Warzone updated, others were frustrated by the merger, as the bugs it brought and the new goal are not ideal.
Renaissance Island, as well as BOCW weapons, was launched in the War Zone on December 16.
In the weeks since Warzone Season One launched and incorporated Black Ops Cold War weapons, the DMR 14 has risen to the top and has become the game’s undisputed primary weapon. Certain bugs have also become prominent, as has a new Gulag in the image of the original Nuketown.
One, Redditor u / AFreaq, vented his problems in a long post, attacking what they interpreted as a decline in the quality of the game.
“The Cold War integration is the worst thing that has happened to Warzone ”, he says, before falling into criticism. “From the new“ Gulag ”which is just a copy of Nuketown, because it seems like the only thing they can get right with Black Ops, the broken weapons and bugs that 100% will ruin your game, these changes completely killed our fun for the game. “
CW integration is the worst thing that ever happened to the CODWarzone WZ
The post also criticized the game’s color scheme and the return of “sweaty” players. He ends: “After a few days of struggling to enjoy a game, I felt the need to vent my frustration at being forced out of a game that kept us entertained during the 2020 sh * tshow.”
Other players agreed, with one stating: “It ruined one of the best BRs out there. All they had to do was do a 7th season for MW / Warzone and let CW be independent. ”Another echoed:“ CW has 2 weapons fully detonated and like 5 higher level, while MW is all balanced. Just separate the 2 and we’re fine. “
While general opinion is generally difficult to assess, more than 500 people voted in favor of Redditor’s strong comments, suggesting that there is considerable empathy for their problems.
The path to a complete merger was bound to be uneven, but some clearly feel that the bumps are more similar to the edge of a cliff.
