A huge influx of players, but the new version of Warzone disappoints!
The situation is completely crazy when the players rushed to Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0. However, the new take on the battle royale looks far from unanimous. At least positively since its score isn’t the most amazing on the Valve platform. According to Steam reviews, the battle royale’s ratings are currently “fairly negative” and disappointed players don’t forget to state the reason for their disappointment. : disastrous optimization, far too many bugs and lags, bland decorations, an annoying pay-to-win model, a massive influx of cheaters, and much more.
At the end, from the 5857 reviews posted, only 37% are positive, which means that almost 2 out of 3 players are dissatisfied with this Warzone 2.0. On the part of the well-known rating aggregator Metacritic, things don’t really look any better. Very few users left a rating – only 14 at the time of writing – but the overall score is particularly low: the Battle Royale falls short of even average, falling below the 3.5 out of 10 bar (its actual rating is 3.4). In short, Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 seems to be hot and cold among the players because on the one hand it can offer a new feature that is considered great and on the other hand a “slow and crazy loot system”.
