IW designs a game completely catering to casuals and then decides to make the most complicated attachment system ever. Classic.

@RavenSoftware
Great, but let’s take it one step further and remove it all together from resurgence/BR. The map has perfect visibility and vibrant colors, no reason to ruin that.
Don't blame JoeWo, Swagg, Repulze, or any other streamer for Season 3. Don't blame Activision execs either. Blame Infinity Ward - because it is their fault.
Full episode available wherever you listen to podcasts, or on our YouTube.

We've seen a lot of the discourse surrounding what we said and we'll talk about it on today's episode. The goal is to address some of the major/common arguments we've heard from the other side. Should be

Remember guys, this bundle is the reason the Lockwood has not been nerfed. If you’ve complained about it being overpowered and still bought this bundle, you are part of the problem.

Bringing back Verdansk is not going to fix your problems with Warzone. You’re in denial and coping. It will never feel the way you think it will.
The game is stale. There’s no grind. There’s zero skill gap and a boring meta.
🚨NOTHING🚨 will fix that besides a new game.
Absolutely despicable behavior from
@Activision
@InfinityWard
. An employee thought it was clever for an upcoming season 4 operator to be named, “I’m a N*zi” backwards.
The name of this operator needs to be changed immediately. Truly disgusting behavior from these people.

We've heard you loud and clear, CDL experts... and we still disagree. To hear why, check out this segment from our latest episode, 393, in which we covered all the backlash. Link is below, and the full episode from which this was taken can be found on our YouTube channel.
Congratulations to

@JustTeddii
Hey Ted, I know you guys have been pushing accessibility features (which we love!). We were hoping, for the hearing impaired, we could maybe see an option for a visual indicator of where footsteps are coming from on your screen (similar to High Alert). Very inclusive!
Why are all of the
#CallOfDuty
development teams incapable of putting out successful patch notes? How are so many parts of
#Warzone
changed with every update and we aren’t made aware until a popular YouTube creator makes a video?
What a glorious Saturday morning. Today is absolutely THE day.
Episode 200 celebration.
Two years of The Dropshot Podcast.
Show starts at 5PM PT. Grab a drink, tell your girl to leave you alone and let's have some fun.
🍻🍹🍻
@CODUpdates
Please fix this. Almost every game has heavy fog since yesterday's update that "reduced the chance of fog." You guys did the exact opposite of that.
@Nadeshot
Placement alone is not going to win you any Warzone tournaments; these days, must tourneys are structured such that if you "prayed to god for final circle" and won the match with 0 kills, you would literally not earn any points.
It's so obvious that Activision forces these studios to push out the releases no matter the state of the game.
Warzone 2 had NO business being released this year. The amount of bugs and issues is inconceivable. It really seems like this game was never even play tested.

We are VERY pleased to announce we are now officially on
@TheSportSocial
team as their very first e-sports podcast! Delighted to be working with some great people across the pond like the cosmopolitans that we are 🇺🇸🤝🇬🇧
Last note: it's good to see
@RavenSoftware
coming out with an exceptional writer for these notes, and particularly the elouence with which they fleshed out their reasoning behind these changes. We know you listen to the program. Like the fucking tweet
Buy stations have been a constant problem in Warzone and we need to see this issue addressed in Season 5.
They will show as being closed when really they're still useable in the gas, or they'll show as being open when not. Nothing like making a gas play to buy back a teammate
Urzikstan may be a smaller map than Al Mazrah, but the starting circles actually make the starting playable area much larger.
Battle royale just seems to be in such a weird spot right now. They've tried too hard to model BR after resurgence...and for what? Warzone HAS a

VPN or not, 72 kills is insane. Casuals act like it makes it that much easier to drop high kill games when in reality they can’t even drop 10 in a normal resurgence lobby lol. He’s definitely not cheating, just cracked out of his mind. Miss the days of gaming where people just

@HusKerrs
They need to add an icon on the mini map to show where it was called in, similar to a mortar strike. It can just be an airstrike icon or they should really show the flight path and strafe line

trailer seemingly shows us the next map, which is

set in the early 1980s. Stadium is under construction, dam is just a bridge, downtown is smaller, etc.
Tonight’s podcast is going to be 🔥, don’t miss this one!
Fun little throw back clip to the Verdansk days.
This clip is from April of 2021. It's now August 2023 and I am still dying to airstrikes inside of a staircase without a window or door in sight.
Fix it! Now! Just make them work!
Happy Thanksgiving to all of our listeners! 🦃
We’re very thankful for our wonderful patrons ().
And just so we’re clear, we are definitely NOT thankful for the free loading pieces of shit. 😎
Raven Software just announced that bloom will be removed entirely in Warzone from Vanguard guns soon!
For now, a patch just went live that drastically reduced the amount of bloom for all weapons.
@RavenSoftware
on top of it so far 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Today marks one full year of
#Warzone
. The game is full of cheaters and bugs yet we always find ourselves dropping back into Verdansk. Call of Duty really made something special with this game and we’re excited to see how it evolves in the next year!

Wow. Huge shoutout to
@RavenSoftware
, these are truly the most comprehensive patch notes I’ve seen a Call of Duty development team put out in years. This is what we’ve been asking for. On top of that, almost all of these changes seem really good!

for saving the day by joining us last night! We had a blast, and we hope you guys will enjoy listening. Check out the episode where we talk Warzone, streaming, and so much more; also available wherever you listen to podcasts:
The Warzone Season 4 Reloaded update introduced the "charge jump" superpower field upgrade. You can jump VERY high into the air or just fling yourself across the map. It's actually a very fun temporary addition to the game.
While more than 100 feet in the air you can shoot, ADS,

plays Vanguard from the comfort of his own home. How did I get so unlucky??
This update is a great reminder that Infinity Ward does not play test their game.
The entire QA department is a PSYOP.
How do so many glaring issues make it to launch every single time?
What better way to introduce the OFFICIAL

The Dropshot has more bonus content than ever before! We have three Patreon tiers available at $5, $10 and $20 a month. Up to FIVE bonus episodes per month, weekly hangouts, live Q and A, gameplay breakdowns and more!
Why are there so many low level players in Warzone all of the sudden?
We have noticed a very high amount of sub level 55 accounts on Ashika Island in the last week or so. They're always very competent players who are clearly not cheating.
This could very possibly be cheat

Second game of the morning and we die to an invisible team. They really put the helicopters back in the game without fixing the glitch....these devs, man.
It's crazy to think that a year ago we had Raven putting out an update every single week that included bug fixes, weapon balancing, QOL changes and more. No matter how many of those changes we did not agree with, they were genuinely trying to do what they considered the best for

Warzone ranked can be a fun experience but as we suspected, the core issues with the game become much more frustrating in a ranked mode.

was a doozy. We watched the whole thing live and recorded a BANGER episode right after. Episode 263 is available right now for all of our Patreon supporters, and will go public tomorrow
We’re in for an amazing year of Call of Duty.
A loaded multiplayer experience at launch.
The Dark Aether storyline continues in Vanguard.
An all new Warzone map and kernel level anti-cheat.
It’s going to be a fun year!
It's been over three weeks since the launch of Warzone Season 4 and they have yet to fix the bug that forces me straight down after jumping out of the plane.
HOW is that possible???
This shit would've been hot fixed within 48 hours last year. Wake up and DO SOMETHING
Since AIM ASSIST has been the hot topic (as usual) lately, here is a clip from episode
#387
where we discussed the AA vs KBAM debate in detail. Go watch it here: if you want more context.
The strongest aspect of AA is the fact that someone will begin
Missing the days of "overpowered" snipers. As strong as they were, snipers added so much fun to the game. Nothing in WZ2 comes close to the Swiss or Kar. This is such a basic clip that happened almost every single game.
Now all the snipers are boring and unsatisfying to use.
🚨BREAKING🚨
Something is starting to happen to Verdansk! Cruise missiles are flying over the map and we are are getting a message saying “Level 1 containment protocol active, seek shelter immediately”

Another

update went live this morning, adding more recoil to the AUG and some ADS changes to the FFAR. This does nothing to the fast TTK, but maybe it’s enough to shake up the meta? Hoping at least we see some SMG’s come into play now!

What changes are you hoping to see when Season 4 reloaded drops at 9AM PT tomorrow morning?
We're hoping they decide to blow up castle and leave it as a wide open pit with zero cover, since even that would be ten times more enjoyable than the miserable POI
