I created a list on Warzone’s biggest issues (for me). What are yours?

#Intro

There are millions of players in our community. It’s hard to exist as a developer when the community has so many different needs. It’s impossible to PLEASE everyone. I felt WZ1 was the all-around people pleaser. I realize I am VERY MUCH likely in the minority in this subreddit on some issues, but hopefully you can add your own and discuss where you’d like to see the game go or what changes need to be made.

##TOP TIER Problems

Audio |
😐
Issue #1 |

What audio?
• I hear my teammates footsteps better than anything else
• No enemy UAV callouts
• No audio on vehicles right next to you
• An entire team can parachute on you without even the slightest audio clue

Solution |
😐
Fixing the audio |

TTK/Netcode |
😐
Issue #2 |

• **Inconsistency** – You start a fight you know you’re ahead in but also know 100% you’re going to lose
• **Overpowered** – I’m on controller. Aim assist is out of control. The stickiest of sticky aims even on the fastest ADS strafe speed builds. (4.7ms). You can’t miss = fast ttk
• **Invisible** – It’s like putting in plates is a visual glitch. TTK feels a lot like multiplayer at times
• **Classless** – Who needs an SMG when an LMG can delete you in .01 seconds from 1 meter away?
* **Surprise** – Once you hear the audio clue you’re being shot, you’re dead. It doesn’t match. It will register on my screen and I am dead, but it will say I was shot 8 times, and on my screen, I’ll only notice 3 shots maybe

Solution |
😐
Fix your guns, add better damage profiles, up the TTK or upgrade your servers |

Map/Player count |
😐
Issue #3

This map is a MAJOR upgrade over Al Mazrah, but overall it’s just an enigma. I know many love it and many hate it. I don’t personally hate it, but I don’t feel anything playing on this map.

• **Confusion** – Where’s the ladder? Stairs? Too many confusing buildings – [Look at how clean Greece is](https://i.imgur.com/240hrxg.jpg) I am not fighting on top of bed in the middle of a building or getting stuck on a hookah pipe
• **Forgetable** – Only one big building that act as a single POI, like SuperStore, Nakatomi, Hospital, or Peak. These were iconic
• **Pacing** – Can never find loot crates or understand how to get to contracts / You can go minutes without engagements regardless of your location
• **Disheartening** – Where’s the fun at? – No hot spots
• **Inconvenient** – All the good POIs (defined by me as: Where engagements are fun) are around the edges
• **Boring** – Downtown is a snoozefest
• **Superfluous** – What’s even the point of water anymore? Take it out

Solution |
😐
New map, but there is no realistic solution for until the next Warzone |

——————-

Health Regen |
😐
Issue # 4 |

* It’s way, way, way, way too slow.
* Zero time to reset. Slows the pace down. I
* It’s like playing whack-a-mole. Each person taking time to regen during a fight.
* Quick fix is in too competitive of a category to be chosen.

Solution |
😐
Put Quick fix in perk slot 1 or increase the speed of health regen |

————

Stacking/Handholding |
😐
Issue # 5 |

Controversial, I know. Keep in mind, this is massive game and there are a lot of playstyles. I understand it’s an extremely viable strategy introduced by MWII (WZ 2.0), but mixed with these other issues, it’s impossible to play the game I used to. Evolve or die, I guess :/

• **Lose-lose** – Don’t stack = Die. Stack = Die to better stackers. Stack = win = no fun
• **Optionless** – Only viable strategy. No more hero ball
• **Impossibility** – Regames are a nightmare
• **One sided** – If winning is your sole purpose, stacking will never be an issue.

Solution |
😐
None. You can’t rewire someone’s brain. |

#Commentary on the TOP TIER issues

I can deal with one of these, two of these maybe, but when you have all 5, how is an average dude just looking for dumb fun supposed to enjoy the game? The answer is you can’t, and the answer I am looking for is probably switching to MWIII.

If that’s what we want to do this community will shrink super fast.

How can I be expected to take on a 4 squad by myself when (1)I can’t even hear them (2) I don’t even understand the layout of the building, making it difficult to reset (3) my health regens so slow, I have to basically run away (4) And then when I do manage to isolate one, I put 15 bullets into their head/chest/neck and their 3 bullets with an LMG destroyed my toes, killing me instantly.

It’s not every engagement, but those are the engagements that stick out to me and have kept me away.

#Other issues

Issue | Comments
😐 😐
Looting | **(1)**WZ1 looting was great. Not sure why they’re so determined to continue with this slower, methodical looting system. **(2)** Loot falls under the map and you can’t find it. |
Visual cancer | Stop with the visual noise when I am shooting my gun. This is an arcade shooter. I want to see what I am shooting. It makes iron sights almost impossible to use and enemies impossible to see, especially when you add in the visual clutter and dark spaces |
One shot sniping | Gorenko, Kar98, Swiss…bring them back. No using a single ammunition to make them one shot. Stop. There are too many ways to get back in the game to limit sniping to a snoozefest. |
Lack of originality | The introduction of Cold War into Warzone brought variety. Do you like hipfire builds? Change your PPSH to this. Do you like strafe builds? Change your PPSH to this. Do you like sniper support? Change your PPSH to this. One gun and versatile! Now it’s this gun does this, this gun does that. |
Recoil | Recoil is fine and dandy but what’s with the random horizontal recoil? This was similar to what the XM4 had when it first came out on WZ. It was like one random horizontal shot. |

#Just annoying

Issue | Comments
😐 😐
UI | How did this manage to carry over? How did this ever get approved? Why is this still here. WZ1 was so clean. |
Gas mask | Why can’t you just automatically apply it without an animation while firing? It’s to the point where I don’t even bother picking them up anymore. |
Attachment hell | Seriously, why do we have all of these attachments? Most do nothing and we are all going to use the same handful. Illusion of content? |
Useless perk slots | I touched on this before. Perk slot 1 is useless. Even the ones you think are good, like sleight of hand and double time don’t even work properly or the way you think they work. Perk slot 2 has all of the best perks and perk slot 3 only has a couple viable options, which is probably the most balanced slot. |
