Warzone players furious over new playlist from imaginary community poll
ActivisionWarzone players have been left furious by the January 11 playlist update, in which there were two “community vote” modes added to the rotation — that players say they never even voted on.
One of the somewhat contentious features of Call of Duty: Warzone are the playlist updates. Playlist updates happen each week on a Thursday, these switch up maps, squad numbers, and modes to keep things fresh.
However, not all community members are fans of these rotations, with many disappointed about having to wait for their favorite maps and modes to appear.
Raven Software tried to take these concerns under consideration, creating a system where the community gets to vote on what they want to appear in each week’s rotation. However, when the playlist for January 11 released, players were quick to point out it had a rather large problem.
In a tweet announcing the playlist rotation, Raven Software listed ‘Orlov Military Base – Trios’ as a ‘community vote’ for the game’s Resurgence mode.
However, as many were quick to point out, that community vote never happened.
The original poll was a vote for Quads, and Vondel clearly won out. While Orlov did appear in this quads poll, Raven Software never created a community poll for trios.
“Nobody, and I mean nobody, voted for Orlov Military Base,” said one Twitter user.
Activision“There was no “community vote” for Military Base to be in trios”, another agreed, going on to ask the devs to replace it with Ashika.
“Like seriously, what are you guys doing? Just let us play what we want to play!” reads the thread’s top comment.
There’s never a playlist update without leaving a certain group of players unhappy, but some do seem particularly incensed about this.
