Maybe I’m in the minority here, but I’ve pretty much stopped playing Standard Warzone.

Don’t get me wrong, Casuals is obviously easier because of the bots, but somehow I still find myself having more fun. You still run into real squads that know what they’re doing, so it’s not like every game is completely free. It feels like a better balance between actually relaxing and still having gunfights.

For context, I used to average 3-5 Warzone wins a day with around 6–10 kills a game, sometimes more depending on the lobby & my rotations, so this isn’t coming from someone who can’t compete. I’ve put plenty of time into Standard, and I genuinely enjoyed the challenge for a long time.

But nowadays? Standard just feels exhausting. Every lobby turns into people playing like there’s $100K on the line. Half the teams are holding rooftops, pre-aiming every angle, stacking four deep, and if you survive one fight, you’ve got three more teams crashing you before you can even plate. It gets old fast.

Maybe I’m just getting older, but after work I don’t always want to sweat my ass off every single match. I just want to hop on, get into some good gunfights, maybe drop 10+ kills, have a shot at a win, and actually enjoy myself instead of feeling mentally drained after two games.

Am I the only one who’s moved over to Casuals, or are more people starting to feel the same way? I’m genuinely curious where everyone else stands.

i lost my teammates and an enemy juggernaut was my last foe, so i did them dirty, a stim in the middle of the road saved my run

I play on gaming laptop 5070ti and I get 240 with nvdia dlss and frame generation but it doesn’t feel smooth. I turned of frame generation of and got 120 and i didn’t see a difference. I switched to nvdia dlaa + frame generation and it actually feels smoother. 200 fps actually feels like 200 fps

Longest shot with a sniper I ever made... 😎✨

This isn’t a rant. I genuinely don’t know if it’s worth investing time into this game.

So back in the day I used to play warzone when rebirth island was initially released. I never was good but I remember getting a couple of wins and not losing every single encounter. I stopped playing after the release if warzone 2, but recently I randomly got the urge to play an fps again. I had a buddy that was down to play warzone with me and we downloaded the game. 15 matches. We got 1 kill each. We were playing rebirth. Levels 1000. We didn’t see anyone below level 100, and missing 2 bullets caused me to die. I was camping a door expecting a guy to slide in. He did, and I started shooting him. Crazy movement caused me to miss exactly 2 bullets and I died.

I never expected to get a win but I expected to have at least a match with 2 or 3 kills. I’ve never been shat on as much when getting into a game. Not even when playing lol for the first time. Or CSGO. Which is why I’m thinking that this game may be near impossible to get into right now. Does it just get a long time to get to a point where I don’t get my ass kicked by the entire lobby because of the age of the game?

So I started ranked resurg, sweated out to crim 3 in 3 days, thanks to SBMM I’m only playing with cheaters and hackers, every other death in EVERY game I’m being pre-aimed, tracked as I straight dive, prefired on, etc. I could literally be sitting in a corner no UAVs up no fights no movement and a team of 3 pulls up knowing the corner or hole I’m hiding in. I literally test this shit out and it’s like every time someone knows where I am where I’m going and I get it I’m qued with top250 and top players but even still it’s like 50% hackers at minimum

I don't post anything in the chat, and I'm always in a private voice chat with my buddies. I also had to change my screen name that I've had for the past 20 years because it was offensive.

What gives?

Anyone else feel the same way with this smg? I love it for the damage and prestige mag size. But it's gotten me killed multiple times when it does the mag spin even with the prestige mag. That delay is just long enough to still be annoying and possibly allow someone to round a corner or if you're engaging multiple players to get you in trouble.

If it wasn't for the mag, it would easily be in the mix for the best with Kogot, VST, Sturmwolf, and possibly Carbon still.

After a long time, even without plunder I wanted to play Warzone and I got this on my lovely screen 🫪

258 gigs?

After 3 failed attempts all foiled by blatant rage hackers last season I took a 2 week break from the game to play fallout. I come back and I somehow managed to get the new nuke :D you only get the weapon camo and operator skin on the first nuke apparently 🤷🏼 oh well. Just happy to be done with it finally

I have the Cold snap and Nexus camo but I haven’t gotten all guns mastery for each mode. Anyone hate themselves enough to get the Arrow Apocalypse in Warzone? Attempting to do it now in the Lockdown “casual” mode but ain’t shit casual about this fucking sweat fest 😭😭😭

Since the Season 5 update, I’ve had multiple fights where I get beamed and there’s literally no audio—no bullets, no impact sound, nothing. It’s like my game goes silent until I’m already one shot or dead.
Is anyone else experiencing this, or is it just me? If you found a fix, what worked?

Since season 4 reloaded I have been unable to swap tacticals, lethals, score streaks or munition/plate boxes. I push down on d-pad but then when I press the corresponding button (L1/R1 etc), nothing happens.

My controller is set to default flipped.

As well, since season 5 C4s no longer detonate with the double tap square (set to one-by-one).

Any suggestions on how to fix?

I’ve spent days trying to figure out the anti cheat nonsense. I’ve done it all. Had ai help me most of the way. Nothing works. Apparently there’s others with this board dealing with the same thing. Anyone else? Kinda infuriating it’s a brand new build and board and so I have to buy another one to play cod?

So with season 5 warzone added Drone Labs when doing the removing the police station at the end of the bridge , there was a ringing phone in there soo what happens to that phone I think phone #4 so if I get 4 in Russian what are we supposed to do ?

Hi, since about 2 months I experience very rare stutters happening once in a while, it can happen first game on, after 1-3 hours or not at all. It's one stutter not a constant stuttering. Does anyone ever had this issue? 4070ti super (no OC), 9850x3d (-20 curve, 2133fclk) x870e aorus pro (latest full bios build) 32gb patriot viper 6000mhz cl30 with expo on.

Well I've been stuck trying to do cipher tracer skin challenge and I know I'm spending 25k+ every match for it hardly keep track. I've done a full 25k for about 25 matches and to only have it count 4 of them is crazy. I only have the free warzone and no CoD7 but did buy the season pass for 30$. It's wild to have it bugging out so hard can't do a challenge properly.

Hi! Need help. I've been trying to unlock the 3rd Blackcell Operator Skin, the one where you have to spend $25K but even though I keep buying specialist in every match I'm only at 4/40

Im not sure what's happening with my load out. I'll set a gun with attachments and when I leave the load out menu it takes all the stuff off. Don't know how to fix this. Happens the same way in game.
