Call of Duty: Warzone Glitch Is Getting Players Suspended From Matches

Call of Duty: Warzone Glitch Causes Unfair Suspensions and Player Outrage

A frustrating bug in Call of Duty: Warzone is causing automatic suspensions for players participating in Ranked Play. The problem stems from a developer error that triggers game crashes, falsely flagged as intentional quits.

The Call of Duty franchise, despite its popularity, has recently faced heavy criticism due to persistent glitches and cheating issues. While developers have implemented fixes, including a major update for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, the January update seems to have introduced new problems.

A significant glitch, highlighted by CharlieIntel, affects Ranked Play. Game crashes resulting from developer errors are incorrectly interpreted as intentional match abandonments, leading to 15-minute suspensions and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty. This SR loss significantly impacts player progression and competitive standing, as SR determines division and end-of-season rewards. Content creator DougisRaw further emphasized the severity of this SR penalty.

Player Backlash and the Urgent Need for Developer Action

Player frustration is immense. Reports detail lost win streaks and calls for SR compensation. The overall sentiment expresses significant dissatisfaction with the game's current state. While game glitches are common, the frequency and impact of these issues in Black Ops 6 and Warzone, including a December shutdown, are concerning.

The situation is further complicated by recent reports of a near 50% player drop on platforms like Steam for Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, despite new content releases like the Squid Game collaboration. This decline underscores the urgent need for immediate and effective developer intervention to resolve these issues and regain player trust. The current situation is unsustainable and highlights a critical need for swift action to address the game's problems.
