Call of Duty Warzone is planning “frequent meta shake ups” with weapon balancing up to four times a season

Raven Software has announced its strategic vision for balancing gameplay in Call of Duty Warzone, focusing on a dynamic meta and prioritizing trade-offs over universal dominance. The developers plan to introduce open matchmaking and a new experience inspired by Blackout on the Avalon map in spring. They aim to implement up to four meta updates each season, enhancing build diversity and ensuring meaningful loadout choices. Attachments will now be limited to five per weapon, and the Overkill Wildcard will be a default benefit for all players. Raven is committed to balancing Warzone attachments independently from BO7 multiplayer, fostering meaningful trade-offs and preserving weapon category identities. The largest magazines for assault rifles will be capped at 60 rounds, and slug ammo for pump-action shotguns will allow for one-shot headshots within range. As of December 4, pistols will be removed from ground loot to improve recovery satisfaction.

Warzone is getting Black Ops 7’s open matchmaking in Season 1, so you won’t have to take a shower after every match

Skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) in Call of Duty has been a contentious issue among casual players, often leading to feelings of exhaustion. Black Ops 7 has introduced open matchmaking in its casual playlists, a change that will also be implemented in Warzone. Game director Peter Actipis announced that open matchmaking is coming to Warzone in Season 1, launching on December 4. The new Resurgence map, Havens Hollow, will increase lobby size from 44 to 52 players for quads, and the Homestead point of interest has been redesigned to improve gameplay. Raven Software plans to implement more frequent meta updates, focusing on adjusting attachment effectiveness and rebalancing perks, including changes to the Survivor perk. Upcoming modes include Ampred BR, which increases base health, and High Octane BR, allowing players to start with preferred loadouts. Season 2 will bring significant changes to Rebirth Island, including a snowstorm that will alter the map.

Battlefield Studios has released Battlefield Redsec, a standalone battle royale game that is free-to-play and operates independently from Battlefield 6, while allowing for shared cross-progression between the two titles.

The game features a Season 1 battle pass that is shared between both titles, with unique challenges for each game.

EA Sports FC 26 players get a red card for cheating the system with VPNs

Players of EA Sports FC 26 discovered a pricing anomaly that allowed them to purchase FC points at a significantly reduced rate by using a VPN. The error occurred on Indonesian servers, where 2,000 rupiah was mistakenly listed instead of 2 million rupiah. This led to players exploiting the glitch, prompting EA to suspend or ban those who took advantage of it. The incident was criticized by the community, with some attributing the issue to Apple Pay's payment process.

Somehow, the Black Ops 7 beta is already falling victim to cheaters, but Activision says “that’s exactly what we want”

The introduction of Black Ops 7 has intensified the battle against cheaters in the Call of Duty franchise, with PC players now required to enable Secure Boot and TPM 2.0 as part of the anti-cheat measures. Reports of cheating, including aim bots and wall hacks, have emerged shortly after the beta launch, although widespread cheating has not been confirmed. Activision's anti-cheat system, Ricochet, has not yet implemented all its enhancements, which are still being tested. The company is using the beta to observe and address cheating, stating that any accounts permanently banned during this period will face bans across all Call of Duty titles. Activision has been actively responding to community reports of hackers and confirming bans based on shared footage.
