Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play plagued by game-crashing glitch leading to unfair suspensions.
A critical bug in Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play mode is causing widespread frustration and unfair player suspensions. A developer error triggers game crashes, which the system mistakenly interprets as intentional quits. This results in a 15-minute suspension and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty. The SR loss significantly impacts player progression and competitive standing, as SR determines division placement and end-of-season rewards.
This latest issue follows a pattern of ongoing problems within the Call of Duty franchise. Despite recent updates promising bug fixes, the January patch appears to have introduced new glitches, exacerbating player discontent. The developers' struggle to effectively address persistent glitches and cheating continues to draw heavy criticism. A previous statement acknowledged shortcomings in anti-cheat and bug-fixing systems following the launch of Black Ops 6 Season 1.
Player outrage is mounting, with many expressing anger over lost win streaks and demanding SR compensation. The sentiment reflects a broader concern about the game's overall quality, with some players labeling it "ridiculously garbage." This negative feedback coincides with reports of a significant drop in player numbers for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, highlighting the urgency for developers to resolve these issues. The recent Netflix's Squid Game collaboration failed to stem the decline, further emphasizing the need for immediate and effective developer intervention. The situation underscores the impact of persistent glitches on player retention and the overall health of the game.
