Warzone Fans Think New Game Mode Is Unfair for Skilled Players

Call of Duty: Warzone fans are unhappy with the new Zombie Royale game mode, as many are using tactics like respawning at the very last circle, making winning difficult for those who survive all the way to the end. Zombie Royale was added to Call of Duty: Warzone as part of the Season 6 update, and it is one of the most anticipated limited-time modes each year.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 is just around the corner, and the developers released a major update for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3 to mark the beginning of the final season. The Haunting event gas also returned in Warzone and Modern Warfare 3, bringing a variety of new weapons, game modes, and rewards for players. Despite the hype surrounding The Haunting event, it seems fans are unhappy with one particular game mode.

In a new post on the CODWarzone subreddit, user Infinite_Scallion886 expresses frustration over the Zombie Royale mode that was added as part of the Season 6 update for Warzone and Modern Warfare 3. Zombie Royale is a limited-time mode that returns every year during The Haunting event, bringing a unique twist to the battle royale genre by allowing players to respawn as zombies with unique abilities after dying. Players also have the chance to respawn as humans if they defeat an Operator. However, this mechanic is not sitting well with the community, as players are frustrated with opponents waiting to respawn as humans until the final circle and then spending the last moments of the game parachuting to avoid the zombies. As a result, players who survive until the end lose because they are outnumbered by zombies.

Warzone Fans Want a Change to the Gas in Zombie Royale

Another frustrating trick players seem to be using is running deep into the gas towards the very end. As Redditor LTFC_Dangerous notes, the crates seem to contain the Haunted Box more often, allowing players to get Stims and survive for extremely long durations in the gas. This makes it difficult for others to hunt them down, and they end up winning in the final moments. Warzone fans feel that the revamped version of the Zombie Royale mode has introduced too much of a luck factor, making it less enjoyable. Some believe that reducing the availability of Stims or making it harder to survive in the gas in the Zombie Royale mode in Warzone could significantly improve the mode.

The common consensus in the community seems to be that the game mode is quite fun, but the lack of proper balancing makes it a huge missed opportunity in The Haunting event in Warzone. The developers have released a number of changes recently based on player feedback, so fans are hoping they will also take note of their suggestions for The Haunting event.
