Warzone's Latest Glitch Triggers Suspensions

Warzone

Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play plagued by game-crashing glitch resulting in unfair suspensions.

A significant bug in Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play mode is causing widespread frustration among players. A developer error triggers game crashes, which are mistakenly flagged as intentional quits, leading to automatic 15-minute suspensions and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty. This is causing significant disruption to player progression and competitive rankings, as SR directly impacts a player's division and end-of-season rewards.

The issue, highlighted by CharlieIntel and DougisRaw, follows a recent major update intended to address existing bugs. Instead, the January update appears to have introduced this new, highly problematic glitch. Players are expressing outrage, citing lost win streaks and the substantial impact on their SR. Calls for compensation and a swift resolution are growing louder, with some players harshly criticizing the game's current state.

This latest setback adds to a series of ongoing issues plaguing Warzone and its companion title, Black Ops 6. These include persistent glitches, rampant cheating, and a reported 50% player drop on platforms like Steam, despite recent content updates like the Squid Game collaboration. The confluence of these problems underscores the urgent need for immediate and effective action from the developers to restore player confidence and address the game's stability issues. The current situation highlights a critical failure to deliver a consistently enjoyable and fair competitive experience.
