“We Messed Up,” Leading Activision Developers Admit

In a recent interview, the developers candidly discussed the issues plaguing the game and their plans to address them. The studio acknowledges that Warzone is broken: “We messed up everything and promise to fix the problems.”

They also explained why the game is in such a state:

• Warzone was initially created solely as an expansion for Modern Warfare 2019, but after its incredible success, they decided to integrate the game with future CoD titles.
• These mergers caused “significant development issues” because the game seemed “overloaded and bloated” due to Black Ops Cold War and Vanguard.
• Warzone ceased to be Modern Warfare and lost its uniqueness.
• The developers lacked time to identify and promptly fix errors, as the game had too many ongoing events.

In conclusion:

• Warzone hit a technological ceiling due to mergers with other games. Currently, development is underway for Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 on a new engine — they will address the current issues.
