On December 22, Warzone fans learned that the game\u2019s developers were heading into holiday vacation. Additionally, it was revealed that the strike surrounding quality assurance testers was still ongoing and had been met with \u201cno response.\u201d Now, around two weeks later, those devs are reportedly returning to work and won\u2019t have any shortage of items to deal with. From invisible skins and hackers to overpowered shotguns and fire ammo, players have a long list of needed fixes. At this point, complaints about the game have ranged from Activision\u2019s direction for the franchise coming under question to even JGOD asking how appropriate that vacation time was. Fortunately, some are back at their desks and players are hopeful for change. Warzone devs return to work amid fan backlash This week Activision employees will be returning to work from their holiday breaks. pic.twitter.com\/d17N56Ad1S \u2014 ModernWarzone (@ModernWarzone) January 2, 2022 As tweeted by ModernWarzone, Activision employees are now believed to be getting back into the groove of things following the holidays. In the replies, many were reluctant to build up their expectations. One user said \u201cthey don\u2019t deserve time off\u201d and another pessimistically assured others that it\u2019s \u201cnot like them being back is going to fix things anyway.\u201d Warzone fans hold out hope despite ongoing strike ABK Worker\u2019s alliance is so proud of what we have accomplished this year with help from the community.

MWZ said he\u2019s \u201cexpecting a big weapon balancing patch\u201d this week, as others said \u201cbug fixes\u201d should come first. If around 99 Warzone employees are on strike, it\u2019s unclear just how much they\u2019ll be able to accomplish and just how quickly. Regardless, a number are turning to work and that means there\u2019s a chance for the game\u2019s issues to start getting fixed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone fans hopeful for fixes &#038; balancing as devs return from holidays ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone is in such a messy state that players are keeping track of the developers\u2019 holiday vacation.
