Call of Duty: Warzone Glitch Is Getting Players Suspended From Matches

Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play plagued by game-crashing glitch leading to unfair suspensions.

A critical bug in Call of Duty: Warzone is causing widespread frustration among players participating in Ranked Play. A developer error results in game crashes, which are mistakenly flagged as intentional quits, leading to automatic 15-minute suspensions and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty. This is causing significant outrage within the community.

The issue, highlighted by CharlieIntel and DougisRaw, severely impacts player progression. The loss of SR, crucial for competitive ranking and end-of-season rewards, is particularly damaging. Players report losing significant win streaks and demanding compensation for the SR losses incurred due to this unavoidable glitch. The overall sentiment expressed by players ranges from disappointment to outright condemnation of the game's current state.

This latest glitch follows a pattern of ongoing issues in Warzone and Black Ops 6, despite recent updates promising bug fixes. The January update, intended to improve the game, appears to have introduced new problems instead. This, coupled with previously reported issues like a December shutdown and a significant drop in player counts (nearly 50% on Steam), underscores the urgent need for developers to address these persistent problems. The continued glitches, alongside reports of cheating, are severely impacting player retention and the overall health of the game. The lack of effective solutions is fueling player anger and calls for immediate action from Activision.
