Season 3 Is Taking Everyone Down... There's a Glimmer of Hope Though _ WARZONE 2 MODERN WARFARE 2
- last year
I was going to make this video sooner but I wanted to give Season 3 of Warzone 2.0 a real chance to make an impression on me.
And while that was happening, it goes without saying, this Season has been the most destructive update the CoD community has ever seen.
You've probably seen the comments swirling around Twitter and YouTube — the CoD community has a right to be angry.
Even the CoD shills and influencers are sensing the changing winds — apologies and pivots are being lobbed left and right. No one can spin this update as good — especially considering the hype surrounding it.

Streamers are dropping this game from their rotations or resorting to farming content through spectating and reacting to other players — no one seems to want to play.
Warzone 2.0 is so down bad right now, Activision is rushing another "free week of multiplayer" promo to pump those numbers.

They're also pushing out a tone-deaf survey which can be summed up as, "Do you guys really think movement is a problem?"

How is it so difficult to understand the CoD community's Warzone 2.0 critiques?
The first Warzone captured both the hardcore and casual player bases.
The new Warzone has lost the hardcore and casual player bases.
It turns out the hardcore community was right.
It's not all bad though. There's a phrase floating around the CoD sphere that I think gives Season 3 its props.
"Steps in the right direction."
It can't be denied that Infinity Ward and the cabal are tweaking Call of Duty's movement in the right direction. It's a painful drip feed, but they are trying.
After letting Season 3 of Warzone 2.0 breathe, a lot of the hate it's getting is justified. But there is hope.
The game doesn't feel worse. That's the greatest compliment I can give right now.
The update accelerated the dolphin dive and slide timings, and while I've seen the video comparisons, I rarely use those mechanics when I play. The overall movement doesn't feel any faster.

The biggest change in Season 3 had nothing to do with movement directly, in my opinion.
In Season 2, they gave us more Buy Stations which gave us more UAVs. In this latest update, they added UAV towers.
And just like with Season 2, the encounter frequency has definitely gone up. The game's pacing feels faster. I'm starting to see one of the telltale signs of a well-developed battle royale — third-partying.
Warzone 2.0 is starting to feel like a Call of Duty game that happens to be a battle royale again.
See you on the battlefield and as always, stay cool, gentlemen.
