Call of Duty Warzone ranked bug fix accidentally boosts players by 5,000 SR
Fans were pretty much excited with the arrival of Season 4 in Call of Duty Black Ops 6 and Warzone. This highly anticipated season has brought so much new and returning content like Fugitive 6v6, One in the Chamber, new POI in Verdansk, and many more.
But who thought that this update would also bring a lot of bugs and glitches with itself that would totally disrupt the gameplay. From stutters and glitches to unfair exploitation of the maps, fans saw everything after the arrival of Season 4. But the most frustrating was the Ranked match glitch in Warzone. However, Activision might have escalated the situation by trying to fix this particular issue.
Call Of Duty Warzone Ranked glitch fix backfires the ranking system
Activision released
a patch on June 2 to fix all the already mentioned bugs
and glitches in the game after the release of Season 4.
Amidst all of these issues, there was a game-breaking bug due to which, fans were unable to get their deserving Skill Rating (SR) after a Ranked match.
However, this issue wasn't fixed completely with the June 2 patch and Activision later on released another patch on June 11 to eradicate the bug completely and caused some players to start Season 4 at a lower rank than it was supposed to. The affected players were granted with missing SR due to the previous bug since the Season began to compensate for the loss.
But tables were turned over everyone's head when it was realized that these players actually gained a massive SR boost. This boost was reported to be even as high as 5,000, which severely impacted the leaderboard, as many lower-ranked players even jumped into the top 250.
The decision of giving away SR to the affected players was actually a great idea, but no one realized that this idea would have backfired so hard. As a consequence, this leaderboard error has led to serious criticism towards Call of Duty regarding its Ranked play integrity, as most players in the top 250 leaderboard didn't have to break a sweat to get a spot in there. Now it's up to Activision itself on how it will fix this mess, which was created by it in the first place.

Call of Duty HQ reportedly leaving two modern titles behind
Image via Activision Call of Duty HQ is the default launcher or hub app for the modern CoD titles in the market right now. As of now, this app features Black Ops 6, Modern Warfare II & III, and Warzone altogether, under the same roof. This approach was taken by Activision to make everything seamless for the fans, as players will be able to access all the recent Call of Duty games at one place. However, things didn't go the way it was supposed to as the app is hugely infested with bugs, ads, and UI issues. And that is why, Activision might be omitting some modern CoD titles from the app to make it clutter-free. Call of Duty HQ app is reportedly excluding two popular titles According to credible gaming insider Reality, Call of Duty Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III are available outside the main Call of Duty HQ app. Initially, it was mandatory to install that app because from there, those two titles would launch. But the insider has claimed that if players redownload those two games, then they can be played directly, without the help of any launcher. However, this potential from Activision was quite evident, keeping in mind Call of Duty HQ's poor reception among the fans. First of all, the app is a huge storage-junker, and when someone downloads all the games in this launcher, then it gets out of hand. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like An engineer reveals: One simple trick to get internet without a subscription Techno Mag Undo Secondly, the HQ app is clubbed with so many titles that its complex UI makes everything confusing for the fans. Not only that, because of the huge load on the single app, the server of Call of Duty HQ often finds it tough to maintain all the games at once, often resulting in server outages. On June 25, fans faced a similar situation where servers of several titles went down and out. Another reason for this chaos is because of different developers for different sub-series in Call of Duty. For example, Warzone and the Modern Warfare series are mainly developed by Infinity Ward. On the other hand, the Black Ops series is taken care of by Treyarch. So, it is obviously going to be tough to stick all the items in a single place by different development teams. Opening a game from a certain launcher is itself a tedious job. First, you have to open the Call of Duty HQ app, then load a list of the available games and find the one you want to play from there. At last, launching the desired one. All of these could have been done in just a double-click on a separate icon on the desktop. So, now it's clearly understood why Activision is taking this potential approach to remove two of the most popular games from the Call of Duty HQ app. However, it can go the other way around too. Recently, many classic CoD titles got updates out of nowhere after more than a decade. So, were those updates implemented to club those titles in the HQ app? Only time will give the answer.

Old Call of Duty titles get cryptic updates
Image via Activision Out of nowhere, 10 Call of Duty titles including classic ones like the OG Modern Warfare 2, 3, Black Ops, and many have just gone through sudden server maintenance. This is actually quite cryptic and unexpected, keeping in mind those classic titles are over a decade old. Despite shifting to a live-service model, with highly enhanced real life-like visuals and gameplay in the modern titles, there is no doubt that those OG Call of Duty titles, spanning from COD 4: Modern Warfare to Black Ops II, definitely belong to the golden period of this long-hailed franchise. But why are these updates? Is Activision cooking something? Why are OG Call of Duty titles getting mysterious updates out of nowhere? The official Twitter handle of Call of Duty Updates has recently announced that 10 of the COD titles would go through a server maintenance downtime on July 2, between 3 AM - 7 AM PT. It was quite normal for the modern day CoD titles, but everyone's eye stuck on to the older gen titles, which weren't supposed to get any update at all. Here are all the titles which has gone through the server maintenance: Call of Duty: Modern Warfare III Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Call of Duty: World War II Call of Duty: Black Ops 3 Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare Call of Duty: Ghosts Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Call of Duty: Black Ops Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 The oldest one in this list, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was released in 2009. So, who would have thought that a 16-year old title, which Activision stopped supporting long ago, is getting an update after so many years? Along with it, BO, MW3, BO2, Ghosts, Advanced Warfare and many more - all were fairly pretty old titles. So, what is the reason behind this sudden update? This sudden update didn't take long to stir huge speculations among the fans. Many of them claimed that this update might finally solve the cheating and hacking issues on the servers of older CoD titles by implementing anti-cheat measures. In multiplayer modes of MW2, MW3, BO, BO2, the whole server is possessed by hackers and it will be a big deal to find a single lobby without the hackers. On the other hand, some fans think this update is all about bringing more titles into the Xbox Game Pass. As of now, only Black Ops 6, Warzone, and Modern Warfare III is available on this subscription service. So, this server maintenance might be a trick to pull the newer generation of fans towards the golden generation of Call of Duty.
