"Call of Duty: Warzone Update Causes Major Issues"

The latest update for *Call of Duty: Warzone* has stirred up a mix of fixes and new issues within the beloved battle royale game. Since its launch in 2020, *Warzone* has captivated players worldwide, offering a standalone Call of Duty battle royale experience that saw a surge in popularity during the global lockdown. Despite the ebb and flow of player numbers, the game has retained a dedicated fanbase thanks to its regular updates.

*Warzone* updates have always been a rollercoaster of emotions for the community. From the controversial removal of the iconic Verdansk map to the mixed reception of integrating *Black Ops 6* movement mechanics, the game has seen it all. However, fans have also celebrated the introduction of the Resurgence mode and the array of new maps that have kept the gameplay fresh and exciting.

The most recent update aimed to tackle some persistent bugs, successfully addressing the loading screen crashes and other minor issues. However, as reported by CharlieIntel on Twitter, this update has inadvertently introduced new problems, particularly affecting matchmaking and the competitive *Ranked Play* mode. Players have encountered frustrating issues such as being stuck under the map and experiencing problems with Buy Stations.

*Ranked Play* in *Call of Duty: Warzone* is designed for competitive gamers, making these glitches particularly detrimental. While there has been no official acknowledgment from Call of Duty's social media channels at the time of writing, it's likely that Activision is already working on a solution. Given the game's frequent update schedule, fans can expect these issues to be resolved swiftly.

The player count for *Call of Duty* on Steam has seen a dip recently, influenced by fierce competition in the online multiplayer arena, persistent cheating issues, and controversial decisions like the premium Squid Game Battle Pass. However, with these problems addressed and the potential return of Verdansk, there's hope for a resurgence in *Warzone*'s popularity.
