Call of Duty Audio Quality Sparks Backlash
The audio quality in Call of Duty Warzone's Season 5 Reloaded update has sparked a significant backlash among players who claim its quality has 'never been worse'.
Previous Grievances
Throughout the past few years, grievances about the Call of Duty battle royale titles, including Warzone and Warzone 2, have been frequent. Players have continually raised issues about cheating, overpowered weapons, slow update release, and notably, the audio.
Audio Quality Concerns
The game's audio quality has been a particular point of annoyance for players who view it as inconsistent. Some have suggested workarounds and taken the issue into their own hands, but a definite fix has yet to be implemented.
Attempts to Rectify the Issue
In the recent seasons, the developers have attempted to rectify the issue. However, this has pushed the players to their limit in Season 5 Reloaded, declaring the problem has reached its worst stage.
Frustration Among Players
Expressing their frustration, many players voiced their concerns on social media about the poor state of the audio in the new season. They also expressed concerns about potential issues in the forthcoming release of Modern Warfare 3.
Key Critiques
Critiques range from the sound becoming 'worse' every time an improvement is stated, to disappointment over the developers’ decision to introduce silent footsteps in Modern Warfare 3 due to the non-functioning audio. Some players also criticized the game's system, which tries to mimic real-life sounds. Despite intentions to make the gaming experience seem more realistic, it has been dubbed as inefficient.
Urgency for Solution
Some players have taken to calling the audio 'horrendous', urging the developers to fix the issue before player move onto Modern Warfare 3, expected to release in October. Whether a solution will be provided remains uncertain, especially with the increasing anticipation surrounding the new game.
