Despite its overwhelming success and the millions who still drop into Caldera on a daily basis, Warzone is far from a flawless game. Its transition form a suburban battle royale in Verdansk to a sun-soaked Pacific arena has been fraught with issues, including invasive bugs and glitches and the frustrating resilience of cheats. However, plenty of Warzone Pacific fans are claiming the game has changed for the worse following the release of the Season 2 Reloaded patch, which dropped on March 23. Amongst other things, the update made major changes to Rebirth Island, Warzone\u2019s smaller BR environment. Some players, though, claim that matchmaking and the quality of games themselves has taken a nosedive. One player \u2013 u\/T7MMU \u2013 asked why every Rebirth lobby has \u201cturned into a pro gamer tournament\u201d. They continued: \u201cSince the new map [changes], Rebirth has been on a different planet in terms of sweaty players to the point I\u2019m convinced I can\u2019t possibly be in the right lobbies. [It] feels like there are double the amount of players in a lobby, getting 3rd partied every other gun fight.\u201d They were not the only one to point out a change, either. Another player commented that, following the Season 2 Reloaded update, their lobbies feel as though they have been \u201cshadow-banned\u201d because of the quality of the players they are put into lobbies with, as well as having 2-3 \u201cblatant hackers\u201d per match. A third player echoed the sentiment, suggesting the game is no longer enjoyable for casual players. \u201cRebirth is now full of sweaty players and Caldera is a mess,\u201d they said. \u201c[I] don\u2019t know what happened but the game is just unenjoyable.\u201d There was no mention of matchmaking changes in the March 23 patch notes, but a number of players have indicated a tangible difference in their lobbies following its implementation. We will, of course, update you if Raven make any comments on the apparent downtick in match quality.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players claim battle royale is a \u201cmess\u201d after Season 2 Reloaded update ActivisionCall of Duty: Warzone players are lamenting the battle royale as \u2018unplayable\u2019 once again, claiming that the recent updates have adjusted matchmaking and even that \u201ccasual players can no longer enjoy this game\u201d.
