1700+ Hours on Steam and Warzone is in its worst state ever. My nervous system is destroyed.
I have over 1700 hours on Steam. I’ve played countless FPS and online games for years, but I have never seen a game as frustrating as Call of Duty right now. Every time a 20-30GB update drops, it feels like there isn't even 1GB of positive change. It just introduces more problems. It’s obvious the devs only care about making money—pumping out useless bundles and operators, and selling old games for $50-$60. What happened to the first Warzone? We never had this many ridiculous bugs. Are the developers even working on the game?
Here is a list of the most critical issues ruining the game right now, ordered by how severely they break the experience:
- Occasional Server Disconnects & Broken Matchmaking
Sometimes, we wait 5 minutes just to find a lobby. When it finally starts, it might pull my friend into the game but kick me out with a "Lost connection" error. I can't even rejoin. We both end up having to fully restart our devices/games just to find a match together.
- Instant Kicks and Terrible Rejoin Feature
If my own internet connection drops even for a split second, the game instantly kicks me out. After that, trying to get back into the match via the Rejoin feature is an absolute nightmare and takes way too long.
- Audio is Completely Broken
There is zero audio for opening cases/crates, and absolutely NO footstep audio. (This happens specifically on Rebirth; Haven's Hollow seems fine). I've reported this audio issue before and received absolutely no response.
- Deafening Event Sounds
Whenever there is an in-game event and an event item drops (from a case or a killed player), the sound effect is ridiculously loud. It completely masks crucial audio like enemy footsteps and gunfire.
- TTK / Hitreg Inconsistency
Normally, after you break an enemy's armor, it should take about 3-4 bullets to knock them. But for the last few months, even if I land 4-5 bullets right after breaking their armor, they still won't go down. It was never like this before.
- Parachute Failing to Deploy
I have died countless times because my parachute simply refuses to open, even when I am aggressively spamming the Spacebar in the air.
- Clunky Movement & Getting Stuck
The moment you start sprinting, your character gets stuck on tiny pieces of clutter or small objects on the ground. You completely lose your momentum.
- Broken Vaulting / Mantling
The game won't let you vault or jump over small rocks or tiny obstacles. On top of that, window mantling is incredibly clunky now and doesn't work smoothly, even if you have jump assist enabled.
- Visual Perk Bug (Tempered + Berserker)
I run the Tempered perk (2 armor plates) along with the new Berserker perk (faster reload/plating). Because of the plating speed, the game glitches out and plays the animation of me putting in 3 plates, even though I only have 2 slots. It creates massive visual confusion during gunfights.
- Crossplay Social Bug
As a PC player, I can no longer see my PS/Xbox console friends online in the lobby. They have to manually join my party for us to play. This started happening completely on its own after recent updates.
- Random Shader Pre-loading
Sometimes I will close the game and come back 5 hours later, only to be forced to wait for "Shader pre-loading" all over again. There were ZERO game updates and ZERO GPU driver updates in that timeframe. Why is this happening?
- Mouse Cursor Glitch
The mouse cursor randomly gets stuck and remains visible on the screen right next to my crosshair while I'm playing.
This game is broken from top to bottom. Please fix this mess.
