The Lag on console is horrible right now. I play on PS5 and the moment I get into a gunfight during certain situations it lags and causes me to mis-track the enemy

Lol you know whats not stale . The store . Always has new content lmaoooo

Crazy that weekly challenges will be "do this on fortunes keep" and you can't just go play a match on said map. At the mercy of the rotation

I love when jgod decides to wake up and speak nothing but facts

Fix. The. Servers.

Another underrated topic not mentioned in this video is the vehicles and how they handle now compared to WZ1. Many people took pride in min-maxing the helicopter, SUV and tac-rover by drifting around tight corners and chopping people up, a unique aspect that other BR's like Apex/PUBG do not have. Everything else listed is spot on, the map rotation issue has been around since mid-late WZ2. It's such a killer and is amplified 10x worse in less populated regions like mine (OCE/Australia). The long queue times combined with being forced to wait for the rotation to hit the popular map wrecks any motivation to play, especially when trying to create content. I would also argue having less recoil, less screen shake and longer bullet velocity with most guns is more skillful than what we have now - praying to hit half your shots with all the heavy gun smoke, haze, debris floating everywhere, screen shake and reticle floating around with idle sway.

My connections have been horrible lately. I play on console and never really had connections issues until the last week where as soon as I get near anyone it lags constantly

Hopefully COD listens to what uncle JGOD has said because this man speaks facts.

If the servers/consistency weren't so awful since the middle of last season (getting worse this season ), my squad would be on for hours at a time like we used to. Instead we just haven't really even logged in for months because the experience sucks.

WZ1 was so much better. Overall fun to play with a VARIETY of guns to run. MW3 have over 50+ guns but only 2-3 are the most powerful which is very sad.

So many times i try to use off meta guns for fun, but i can only take getting dumpstered so many times before I switch back to meta. The game isn't fun anymore. Love the vid btw. Jgod just keeping it real.

100 guns can only pick 5 weapons atm thats why the game is stale

Massive lag issues for Xbox players. The game is unplayable atm.

The map rotation for resurgence is so bad when the weekly challenges are all fortunes keep specific

The group of people I play with have been having issues with the servers. Ping good 10ms, says there isn’t packetloss, but it feels like packetloss with stuttering etc. We all play on different platforms 7950X3D w/4090 they are on consoles, but all have same issue.

At this point they should just show my rank on Urzikstan since it feels like playing ranked without rewards on BR map....

For me what's making it UNPLAYABLE is a sudden increase in my input lag since approximately the Season 3 update.

1st: Every gun should have same ttk. Now take guns that have low recoil, increase that ttk. Now take guns that have lots of recoil, lower that ttk. Boom, healthy meta and everyone can use wth they ever want.

Looking back at warzone one days and it’s so noticeable how different the long range engagements felt. You could beam people with an AR at 80-100 meters and now 60-70 is like the max

Also to add, I thought I actually liked the backpack system. But then remembered how crazy it is against a team that each carry like 3 airstrikes and you in the end circle with no cover from above.

STALE?!?! It’s so many sweats on rn idk what to do

I've never understood why they make cool skins for attachments that aren't the meta. Either design bundles with the meta attachments or make it so that the gun still looks the same even when you change the attachment to the meta. It's a waste of money otherwise and it makes NO business sense. I don't get it.

the devs need to watch this asap. for me one thing that would make the guns feel a million times better is the visual clutter/shake and reticle sway while moving.

The game would instantly get 10x better if they employed you, and a select few other creators, as consultants. It boggles the mind that they haven’t done that after all these years.

Warzone is over man. We are just chasing that OG feeling and it’ll never come back. It was a great run. GGs boys

The FIND A PARTY was taken away, idk how people abused it but I just know now it's hard af to find other ppl with Mics. 😢😢😢

I'd argue the meta has been stale since Caldera. in the Cold War era they actually tried to balance ttk with recoil. CW AK - fast ttk but with some recoil, M4 - slightly slower but less recoil, M13 - slower but even less recoil, and the Kilo - even slower but almost no recoil. Then Caldera happened and it was one fast ttk zero recoil weapon after another. Bren, BAR, NZ, Cooper etc And they have more or less kept the pattern a having 1 or 2 insanely dominant weapon that you pretty much have to use

JGOD is literally the savior of the warzone community ❤️. Hope they are listening. Btw Aim Assist should also get a considerable nerf as well. Give us KBM players a chance up close. 😂😂

I mean, in terms of meta just look at the rebirth cup atm. Everyone has the same loadout. Superi/Holger. All of them.

When the one shot snipers were around it was also a counter to the aim assist issue. MKB players could keep distance. Once they took that away the whole controller aim assist convo took off and it’s only gotten worse

why don't we bring up the horrendous issues on xbox. you cant even play the game right now because the lag and performance is bad.

honestly, i’m ready for the backpack to be gone the looting experience is not even fun when the floor gets cluttered with it so easily

Proper anti-cheat needs to be the main focus in a sea of issues & concerns. Thanks for voicing our concerns.

I think the most important thing is the variety of weapons that we had in WZ1 compared to now. The majority of the guns feel like you are shooting marshmallows now. Alot of the guns now just aren't fun to use tbh compared to the Xm4, Grau, Amax, Krig, etc... a lot of the gunfights now are just inconsistent. Snipers should be like they were in WZ1 because we should have 10-15 guns that we could use to counter it.

They NEED to make it noob friendly again…. Fact. They have cut away the bottom to cater for the top too many times, it’s sooo easy now for good players to scale the map and roll over full teams of noobs. And the top are still complaining about team stacking. Meanwhile all the noobs just quit

The backpack/looting was one of the worst changes

To be honest, my only 2 issues with the game are weapon balance & the connection/performance issues. Almost every resurgence game I play I get +5% packet loss and weird stutters. And my Internet connection is top notch. Weapon balance is definitely another issue. I feel like the only weapons that are viable are the Kar98, superi 46 & wsp 9. Every other weapon just doesn't compete at all with those. And the ARs in this game are just horrible from the jump. I miss WZ1 where we could choose between the kilo, M4, EM2, C58 etc. And the visual recoil was just so much better in WZ1. I don't know why they're obsessed with this whole realism aspect with recoil and all that clutter.🤦🏾‍♂️

I personally really like the map rotation on resurgence. I wish we could get a different map for BR. Urizikstan is so meh, so vanilla. I’d like to play Almazarh again.

13:15 The fact that you brought up the satchel reminded me of how simplistic warzone was and how the backpack has done this snowball effect on making the game less enjoyable in terms of gunfights and how it revolves around throwing grenades and streaks or place a ton of mines the entire time, of course additions to the sandbox such as cluster mines, supression mines and similar also played a role on it.

I like this style of content, I mainly listen to Podcasts to pass time, this episode had a very likable Podcast vibe. Keep it up 👍

I wish they would get rid of the backpack for sure!

They need to revert perk system. Warzone was a great game when people had to grab two loadouts to be fully loaded with all perks and secondary and primary. Also wann say that they need to look to other regions. WSP akimbo has been a problem in Brasil for like 3 months. It's hella broken and they don't touch it. Also why these type of cringe guns are in ranked? Ranked supposed to be competitive.

Its a beautiful day when jgod wakes up chooses facts to slam warzone.

Wz1 was the best, I remember having so many friends using different things. Some ran Amax, Some ran Kilo, Some ran Grau even after the nerf because of the recoil, M13 was in there, then if you liked to Snipe the HDR for long range or Kar for short range. If you liked LMGS MG had competitive ttk just crazy recoil. Never had a full team all using the same primary and the secondary.

Wow so glad I haven’t played this game in nearly 2 months!

Less Nerfy more BUFFY

Spot on about the guns in Warzone 1, i loved the M4, my mate used the kilo...simpler days. Another major problem on PS4, you do the update go into the game and you have a missing playlist you have to install. I get 2hours a week and spend most of my time doing those.

The amount of glitches that were either introduced with WZ2 and never fixed or newly introduced with WZ3 and also never fixed is baffling, its like they have nobody doing any QA testing. Guns getting stuck in the wall, resurgence timers missing, says I have more money than I actually do, the interrogation glitch where you cant plate/reload/swap weapons, the audio glitch where you cant hear teammates in pregame, the list goes on there is probably hundreds of glitches at this point.

3 years and the audio is still bad

I hope the devs listen to this and take it into consideration

Totally agree with everything you said. We have a lot of cool random features in the game now, but the gunplay, especially the variety in gunplay, is massively suffering, yet could be fixed so quickly. I wonder if they’re afraid to mess with fire rates due to how the guns function in multiplayer as well. COD, if you’re reading this, just hire JGOD please 😂

@JGOD. The problem with over powering weapons for instance like the Kar98 is that it destroys the overall flow of the game. You get killed by players that just do that all day. It sucks.

I haven’t played for over month. Each time I did try to play I wanted to play Rebirth but I saw I had to wait 30min and I’m just “nope, playing a different game”

The game is no longer fun….there was a time I couldn’t go a day without playing it, I constantly run into Swat and the Navy….they reward Stacking but nerfed the movement…and if you don’t have a 10k PC you’re at a disadvantage….we have so many unusable guns they might as well delete them….and I hate the playlist rotation we should be able to play what map we want when we want…..and stop blocking chats it’s a hectic environment do you think they use proper language on the battlefield…..this game is regressing instead of progressing….

A lot of the issues with Warzone right now remind me of the issues we had during Vanguard and MW19. Stale metas, server issues, questionable gameplay design choices, etc. When Treyarch took over, it was bad in the beginning, for sure...but once they figured it out and improved their updates, it was such a great time to play Warzone. Sure, we had metas like the Fara 83 and OTS-9, but we had other options too like the AK47 and MP5. There was more balance to things. Infinity Ward did what they always did, make unnecessary changes and take too long to bring needed changes, while SHG never had a grip on what makes Warzone fun, they either do too much or not enough. It makes me wonder how much control Raven really has

I love how this video is about FUN And if everyone is having more fun, more will play more often I remember warzone 1, me and a buddy loved using the PPSH (first one) which was never meta, but it was alright, and we liked the hotrod blueprint, and it was FUN

I just can't believe how anything over 650 gets nerfed when we already have 150 base HP, tempered and such slow bullet velocity + server latency. We used to play with a 250ms FFAR 💀

Bringing back verdanks is gonna make the game even more stale

My big issue is lack of rewards for winning. You win, great. You win again, cool. Maybe some incentive/rewards for wins or consecutive wins.

Map rotation and squad size changed are pretty annoying. Why can’t we just have all squad sizes and for the maps we want?

I love you x

it's because they release OP weapons with each season so people buy the bundles, they then nerf them when the new guns come out in the following season so people buy those skins. Rinse and repeat. It's a business model...

You hit the nail on the head about ARs in Warzone 1 versus now. They completely messed it up.

My favorite JGod video ever. It wasn’t negative. It points out problems with solutions. Love it!!

Honestly I don’t agree with your comments. Say they do the changes you have asked for in 4 weeks we will just get the comments, “everything feels the same” there’s no difference in guns blah blah blah …..there will always be a close gun play meta and range meta

ads time on snipers make them unrealistic.. all snipers should be 1 shot .. but setup time to be ready to shoot should be tripled , minimum doubled and hold breath should be required for any stability

I miss the amax, kilo, m13 days

now it’s kinda ok, as mnk player mw2 was a big flop all that wobbling smoke and recoil was unplayable. however the half hour wait is insane fortunately therevis a trick for queuing only in Rebirth

Very well said imo. I completely agree with all your points. I would also add that the last two days or so the servers have been awful. My biggest irritation though is their mishandling of the guns. Literally 3/4 of every category is unusable which is a shame. Such an easy fix and opportunity to keep things spicy too.

Definitely agree on the weapon changes! I mostly play by aesthetic of the gun such as Kris vector(Fennec), Bizon, P90(PDSW), Scars(TAQs) and I just get blasted 90% of the time by metaguns. Even a tiny buff or something would probable make an impact

I can save Warzone in three words: "Oops, all Jailbreaks!"

Agree with everything here (with one exception). As JGOD says, sorting the meta would be such an easy win! And just increase bullet velocities across the board. Biggest thing they need to learn to do sustainably is POI updates. There should be major POI updates every half season and smaller ones more regularly than that IMO. Also the vehicles still need fixing - I have such fond memories of big rotations on Verdansk with a trophy system on vehicles. So much fun. The one thing I disagree with is the back pack - I absolutely love the flexibility it gives me. Totally get the simplicity argument, but I think the scope it gives you to play different ways is awesome. It also enables those nuts outplays like with the PDS etc.

100% agree. One of the best close range metas was early season 2 around when fortunes keep dropped and there were multiple viable SMGs. The HRM was the obvious meta, but you could run the AMR9 for insane range, ram9 for tac stance, WSP9 for high damage slow fire. And then they decided to patch that meta by nerfing every single viable dmg except for the obviously no.1 HRM. Ever since then, its been one or two clear choices with no room for variety which really sucks

I dont think Warzone would be "back" unless we went back to the way warzone 1 felt in Caldera and before.

Well said! Watch any YT vid of WZ1 AR like a Grau / Kilo, and the difference versus WZ3 is massive. The insane amount of smoke haze / visual shake / recoil in WZ3 is an epileptic attack in the making every AR gun fight and is a huge QOL downgrade, and just a dumb overall implementation that was never needed or asked for. It's horrible. The other massive issue (at least for me - I'm a bit older, have tinnitus) is I literally have to take my headphones off if there is an airstrike. I literally stop moving, regardless of engagement or not - and remove my headphones. It's that painful....and no, volume isn't loud overall - it's at the level I need to be able to hear enemies.

You and me both know that this has been an issue even back in the days of Caldera. They have watered down everything from jumpspots to weapons. When you have a smaller pool of options, it's easier to funnel them into using the guns they want you to use. There, I said the thing...

You hit the nail on the head dude. These are the same exact thoughts that I’ve had. It’s hard to understand what their thought process is when they make these decisions. They need to be called out. Great video.

I love the content coming from JGOD, I don't feel like I'm being sold on a build, coming from a numbers background he gives you fact and is clear when it's his opinion he is giving. Right on!

I strongly agree with you J, Thats why we loved good old warzone back in the day, you could literally use the Grau on Caldera, you could mix and match so many loadouts. But now its the same shit every day.

Jgod for president of CoD warzone! The man has such solid takes on what makes or breaks this game. I hope raven is watching and takes notes.

Well said man! I agree with most of this. I still very much enjoy the game, my #1 complaint is the map rotation crap. Just give us every map in every mode how hard can that be

i remember a time in wz when i could use amax, c58, fara, krieg6, m13, m4, kilo, Qbz, ak47, xm4, em2 , kar98, swiss k31 and pellington rifle in the same of meta and still dominate the variety was insanely fun not to mention all of these were long range options and you had ots9, cw mp5, mw19 mp5 with hipfire or ads builds and more even the bullfrog was decent and got used time to time..!

One of the problems is when new guns (content) gets released it almost has to be better overall to encourage players to play more in order to unlock it. (Guns in the battle pass requiring tokens to unlock) So if every gun since the games release was close enough to the new “META” it kinda disincentives players from playing more to unlock it. Less play time = Less money spent in the store. But it would be nice if more of the games weapons were viable options instead of the same 6 weapon combos. Great video JGOD

JGOD‘s „it is what it is“ is a phrase I use almost daily 😂

150 players/a game mode like iron trials/buy back quads would living the game up

You said Gun On Gun Action 🤣

Connection is relative... your take on the Devs is spot on! Thx bro.

I agree with you one hundred percent. thank you for not being silent, we need to talk about it. because no one hears us, ordinary players...

Give JGod a dev partnership where he consults these agents of franchise destruction

Another change from wz1 that hurt balance, imo, is the fact that they changed how scopes with more zoom impact recoil. In wz1, the magnitude of the recoil visually would stay the same when you scoped in, regardless of zoom, which means it was physically reducing the gun’s recoil when using higher zoom scopes. Now, the magnitude of the recoil of the gun physically stays the same regardless of zoom, so when you look through a scope with higher zoom, visually there is more recoil. Because of that, throwing those scopes on your primary AR isnt nearly as fun and it also made them a less viable counter to snipers.

finaly some big content creator is speaking facts, we need more of this.

Playlist rotation is probably my biggest gripe with the game, like currently there is not trios resurgence so if your 4th isn't on you have to play with a random who's useless and there seems to be a matchmaking issue where 9 times out of 10 on Rebirth specifically, you don't even get a random. If however you use the map rotation playlist you pretty much always get a random. It seems hard to believe all the solo queuers have just stopped playing Rebirth. Just let us play what we want to play, when we want to play it, rather than driving people away with this daft rotation system.

This is the best Call Of Duty or Warzone video out there. The Devs need to all watch this video and use it.

would you take a job a cod if they offered one? you really could help move the game forward

They should give us a random playlist that rotates all maps, big and small and includes limited time modes, resurgence etc. This would help fill low population lobbies in the set playlists.

For all those years I loved Warzone so much, still missing the Warzone Pacific. these are exactly what I want to say

JGod should be flown out to Activision headquarters weekly based on the knowledge dropped in this video alone.

For me Warzone has basically become multiplayer, it's almost completely lost all of the BR elements.

Give this man a job! He figured out how to buff a gun that we’ve asked to be buffed. You sir are a legend.

Good thoughts, JGOD... CoD should hire you..
