The Warzone Pacific update, which saw Call of Duty Vanguard fully integrated with the battle royale hit, has definitely split opinions of its player base. While a new map was highly anticipated, it launched with a number of bugs and changes that have caused division among players, such as the alterations made to Loadout Drops. Now, barely a week after Caldera first dropped, CouRage has already uninstalled the game and promised to move on to playing and streaming other titles instead. In the video he posted explaining his decision, CouRage talked through the major issues he has with Warzone right now, discussing how they\u2019re affecting his overall enjoyment of the game. While he explains that the Loadout Drop changes, terrain, the delay of anti-cheat, and a number of other issues have impacted his enjoyment of the game, it all added up to a strain on his mental when trying to stream. \u201cI\u2019m done centering my content around Warzone,\u201d CouRage said. \u201cI\u2019ve more than come to terms with the fact that means making less money or potentially lose a sponsor or two. But I can\u2019t do it for my mental health. It\u2019s making me dread going live and I\u2019ve now come to realize that Caldera ain\u2019t it for me.\u201d CouRage has long had a love\/hate relationship with Warzone. Having played and worked in Call of Duty extensively in past years, he spoke out about the main issues with the BR title in February 2021, almost a year after it launched. He had stopped playing for some time and didn\u2019t revisit it for a couple of months after, either, though he did start playing it once again in the final few months of Verdansk. CouRage might not be the first streamer to leave Warzone for now, either, based on how some players are finding Caldera so far. They and their fans will be hoping for major changes down the line, just like CouRage.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CouRage explains why he had to uninstall Warzone for his \u201cmental health\u201d Activision\/YouTube: CouRageJD100 Thieves co-owner and top YouTube streamer Jack \u2018CouRage\u2019 Dunlop has explained why he has uninstalled Warzone after the Pacific update, saying it\u2019s affected his mental health and made him dread going live since Caldera dropped.
