Warzone Season 4, as has become the norm in the Call of Duty battle royale, constituted a fairly comprehensive meta shake-up. Weapons were buffed and nerfed, bugs were patched and we even got a new map in the form of Fortune\u2019s Keep. While the changes are generally welcomed by the game\u2019s most prominent voices (streamers, pro players, and content creators), they appear to be frustrating those who have less time to invest in Warzone. Warzone meta changes and new content making game \u201ctoo hard\u201d for casuals In a July 15 Reddit post, one player stated that, because of other commitments, they cannot invest nearly as much time as they\u2019d like into the Warzone. As a result, new content, weapons, and maps do little but make the game \u201cincredibly difficult\u201d to engage with. They explained: \u201cI don\u2019t have time to level up those guns. I\u2019ve been playing for the first time since April today and early game I\u2019m shredding\u2026 But the second loadout drops, I\u2019m wildly outgunned\u2026 it\u2019s just really annoying that I\u2019d be winning games constantly in my first day back in 3 months if it weren\u2019t for all my best guns being nerfed into the ground since I last played.\u201d It was joined by another post from a casual player who echoed much of the sentiment and claimed that the BR has become \u201ctoo hard\u201d as a result of committed player improvements and matchmaking. They said: \u201cWarzone is too hard\u2026 My hyper competitive shooter days are over unfortunately\u2026 WZ was fun when it was new and different, now it is simply just too much for the casual gamer.\u201d While Call of Duty has long been a casual shooter, many clearly feel that Warzone needs to do more to ensure players who don\u2019t invest copious amounts of time can still enjoy themselves. It is a fine line to tread though, with better and worse players only natural in any game\u2019s community. Here\u2019s hoping Raven are able to strike a better balance moving forwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warzone players claim Season 4 meta changes have made BR \u201ctoo hard\u201d for casuals ActivisionWarzone players are claiming that frequent meta changes \u2013 like those that dropped recently with Season 4 \u2013 are making the game \u201cincredibly difficult\u201d for casuals, especially with skill-based matchmaking in the mix too.
