Gaming News Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 skyrockets this operator’s data usage…but completely crashes on Steam!

Warzone 2.0 generates the second largest network activity by this operator

There’s no denying that the return of the Call of Duty license to the top will leave its mark on history, particularly that of English operator Virgin Media O2. Earlier in the week, impatience was at its peak among players eager to enjoy the start of the first season of content Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 as well as above Warzone 2.0. The arrival of the new version of the Battle Royale was this week’s attraction and it was felt across the channel as network traffic was simply packed there this Wednesday 16th November

although since November 14 it has been possible to preload the game.

Compared to the start of Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2noted Virgin Media O2 a Internet data usage increased by 33%, And that’s not all. The operator also highlighted the difference with the release of the first war zone

and it’s an even bigger leap than the launch of Warzone 2.0 as this same percentage reached 76%. The excitement was so great Network traffic has just doubled this Wednesday, November 16 (103% increase), compared to a normal Wednesday. To give you an idea of ​​the equivalent of peak traffic recorded, this would equate to 41.5 billion streamed songs or 2.7 million AAA games downloaded. It is almost unheard of for the telecom company because This is the second busiest day in the history of Virgin Media’s O2 broadband network !

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”.
