Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 has released a new update that mostly focuses on weapon balancing, but also includes spawn adjustments, bug fixes, and more. Additionally, a new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 event and limited-time mode also went live on March 13.
Call of Duty: Warzone's Dev Team Explains How It Picks Weekly Playlists
22.02.2024 - 21:52 / gamerant.com / Raven Software / John DiCarlo
Raven Software has explained that it selects Call of Duty: Warzone's weekly playlists by combining hard data with community opinion. The studio also unveiled next week's Call of Duty: Warzone playlists, which include the return of a unique mode.
Yesterday, on February 21, Warzone received a new patch that mainly attempted to address cheating concerns. The update noted that cheating reports have recently spiked and that Call of Duty has additional upgrades to its Ricochet Anti-Cheat system on the way. The recent patch also made adjustments to the Advanced UAV, Shock Stick, multiple weapons, and Ranked Resurgence. Despite the Ricochet upgrades, theCall of Duty community has continued to emphasize the cheating issues that are becoming increasingly common within Warzone. Following the recent patch, Raven has made an additional announcement regarding Warzone.
In a new post, Raven stated that Warzone's playlists aren't chosen by using an exact science, but by using a combination of internal data and social sentiment. It further explained that the studio's goal is «to always appeal to the widest group of players possible.» However, due to Warzone's large player base, it's probably not easy for Raven to select its rotational playlists without upsetting one segment of the community or another. The studio did not detail what statistics it uses or how it measures the community's opinion on various modes. But presumably, it analyzes data related to player engagement and measures opinions on platforms like Twitter or Reddit. While this strategy certainly isn't groundbreaking, it does re-confirm that Raven continues to take community sentiment into account instead of solely relying on hard numbers. A 2022 post from Warzone's development team offered some more insight on the matter.
Raven also revealed Warzone's playlists for next week, which runs from February 29 to March 7. Next week's changes will make all Resurgence modes rotate between Fortune's Keep and Vondel and will also reintroduce Lockdown, which will be playable on Warzone's Vondel map in the Quads format. Lockdown is a unique mode within Warzone that combines Call of Duty's Hardpoint mode with the battle royale format.
Both this week and next week, users can also play Warzone's Battle Royale Preview mode. Similar to last time this playlist was available, users can fight over the mode's exclusive Weapon Case feature while attempting to Covert Exfil, which is another exclusive feature. However, this time around, Battle Royale Preview also includes Zombie Power Ups, which users may have already encountered in Resurgence.
Released in November of 2023, Activision's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (2023) continues Captain Price's story from the 2019 and 2022
