The year has just begun but Call of Duty: Warzone players are already having a bad time. Many players are expressing their frustration and dislike of the addition of Black Ops Cold War content in the battle royale mode. Overpowered weapons, unchecked bugs, and a new Gulag that is a reskin of Nuketown all have Call of Duty: Warzone players wishing the game mode could just be a standalone battle royale.
Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War content integrated with Call of Duty: Warzone on December 16. This added all of the Black Ops Cold War guns to the battle royale in addition to a new Gulag experience. Many fans were frustrated with the complete shift in meta and the return of players that had previously left Warzone to play the new game. The initial frustration changed and became centered around several key aspects of Call of Duty: Warzone that fans feel the integration has harmed.
While players have spent the last several months mastering different Modern Warfare weapons in order to keep up with the changing meta, Black Ops Cold War dumped an entire game’s worth of guns into the battle royale. Players who only knew Modern Warfare weapons were immediately outmatched by those who had been playing Black Ops Cold War since launch. To make matters worse, the meta began to focus on one gun rather than several as the DMR quickly rose to the top. Popular streamers have begun coming up with ways to counter the DMR in Warzone, but the gun is still mostly unchallenged.
Another aspect of the integration that upset many players is the new Gulag experience. Rather than something truly original, the new Gulag is a broken-down version of the Nuketown map. This map immediately draws controversy since it has been remade half a dozen times across several games. The underwhelming reception of this map even spurred popular streamer Dr. Disrespect to design his own Gulag map, pending permission from Activision.
Players are also worried that the game developers are so focused on the new content that bugs are slipping through the cracks. While bugs and glitches have always been a part of Call of Duty: Warzone, gamers are worried that adding essentially a whole game into the battle royale is just compounding on issues. There is already a new glitch that makes Warzone players invincible, and many fans are concerned these issues aren’t being prioritized.
The integration is still very new, so there is plenty of time for Call of Duty: Warzone to find a nice middle ground. While many fans are wanting the battle royale to be a standalone experience, others enjoy the fact that they can hop between the games and keep most of their progression. The next several weeks will be a good indicator as to what the future of Call of Duty will truly look like.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
