Developers break silence on current problems

In a tweet, the developers of have announced the fastest possible improvements for their titles , Vanguard and Modern Warfare, and also go into more detail about what issues are currently being worked on.

What exactly happened?

The Twitter account of Call of Duty turns to the words. A message to our community To the players of Warzone, Vanguard and Modern Warfare. It follows three tweets, in which the developers express their understanding of frustration in the player base and explain what fixes and improvements they are currently working on. They also list the most recently implemented changes:

Among other things, the developers promise to release updates for the three titles as soon as possible to implement. There shall be a seamless experience be enabled for all platforms, games and game modes. Feedback is welcome and a critical component of a successful development process.

The tweets then go into more detail about the work on Warzone and Vanguard:

In Call of Duty: Warzone the performance on the consoles will be improved, invisible skins will be fixed and crashes when using supply stations will be resolved.

Also in Call of Duty: Vanguard is working on solving various problems: Here, for example, shotguns should become weaker and incendiary ammunition should cause less smoke. They are also working on improving map rotation and filters for server selection. You can find all the planned changes in the image.

Why is the statement so important?

The mood in the COD community is pretty much in the basement in view of numerous bugs and problems in Warzone and Vanguard. While the developers have repeatedly tried to improve the situation with patches, the problems that many players consider most important have been disregarded or addressed in a controversial manner.

For many fans, this probably gave the impression that the developers were acting without consideration for the community and away from any feedback. To regain the trust of the player base, the message to the community is a first important step.

How are the fans reacting?

Comments on the tweet are generally positive about Call of Duty’s open communication. The Warzone streamer NRG Isaac for example, is very pleased:

We have noticed the great changes in communication within the last week. Thanks for that. Understandably, communication was relatively slow during the holidays, but the transparency and interaction is now better than anything we’ve experienced since the launch of Warzone. We love it!

However, some fans still remain cautious or skeptical. Although the tweet itself is quite well received, it remains to be seen what will actually be delivered now. Thus writes the user @ItsHunterTV who is also a YouTuber:

Parallels with Battlefield and Rockstar

The commendable communication offensive of the developers of Call of Duty could also be a model for others. As @DANNYonPC has already noted, many of the Battlefield fans are not only disappointed by the latest part of the series, but also by the developers’ communication..

So far in the new year, the only thing in focus has been Andy McNamara’s clumsy tweet, which only further boiled up the anger in the community. The Battlefield 2042 subreddit is also therefore sinking further and further into fruitless toxicity, with which the players do themselves no favors:

A more open and regular communication and the admission that Battlefield 2042 is not yet what fans expected and the developers promised would certainly not be wrong. Of course, such a statement would also have to be combined with a credible promise to improve the game as soon as possible.

And Rockstar hasn’t exactly covered itself in glory lately when it comes to communicating with the community, either. Fans of Red Dead Online now fear the game’s death due to the switch from weekly to monthly updates.

The way the announcement was made also caused trouble: One learned about the changeover in a teaser that was a year full of adventures promised. If Rockstar had honestly communicated that weekly updates were simply no longer worth it, more understanding might have been expected. You can read more about this topic in our news:

Of course, clear, honest and regular communication with players is not all it takes to maintain a positive climate in the community. If a game is plagued by bugs or lacks content, that’s annoying for fans, communication or not.

But someone who knows about why these flaws exist, whether they are being worked on, and when they will be fixed is more likely to remain patient than someone who is kept completely in the dark about what is going on behind the scenes.
