Season Two has arrived in Call of Duty: Warzone, bringing with it a new location to visit on the Verdansk map and lots of other content. However, the community has already found something it dislikes. And to be fair to them, it's a very legitimate frustration. Now, a new introductory video plays in-between the 60-second lobby before a match starts and the chance to actually jump out of the plane and begin your quest for first place. You can watch it above. The rather large problem, though, is that this 30-second clip plays before the start of every single match.
A video has never played before the start of matches prior to Season Two, so why Activision or Raven Software felt the need to put one there now and make it unskippable we don't know. It's also significantly louder than general gameplay, to the point where players can't even hear their teammates while it plays. PC users have found a way to mute it by pressing F10 β we're unsure if this option exists on PlayStation 5 or PlayStation 4 right now. But since its unskippable, you'll now have to wait another 33 seconds before you enter a Warzone match every single time you matchmake into one. What's the point of this? Another chance to check your phone and scroll through Twitter, we guess.

Rant incoming....So what? Who cares? Seriously, why do we give any attention to what a few divs on Twitter say about a video? They have to wait 33 seconds? Get used to it. I used to have to wait 20 minutes for a Spectrum game to load, and even then it wasn't guaranteed to work!
I feel better now, thanks PS π
Will i be able to play this game on my 500Gb ps4 Activision?
@Hyperluminal By that logic, I couldnβt complain about my boiler giving up the ghost because I didnβt have central heating when I was younger.
Lol I remember getting annoyed by Black Ops 1βs unskippable intro back in the day too. I can still hear that music 10 years later hahaha
@nessisonett no, the game is not unplayable/the boiler isn't broken. It would be more like you complaining because you had to wait 5 minutes for your central heating to heat the entire house whereas when I was young we only had a fireplace so the whole house was never warm, only the rooms you could build a fire in, and even then it took a while π
Just another reason to stop buying this game until it gets better.
@liamcroft have you seen the reports about a 500gb ps4 not being able to hold warzone, modern warfare and cold war now due to install size?
I remember when this game, or modern warfare I should say, was about 165gb. Glad I stopped before this 500+gb monstrosity hit.
They got inspired by mobile games where are common 30 sec repetitive ads (even if you downloaded that junk). βΊοΈ
@Rob_230 I have, yeah
@Hyperluminal I was waiting too for zx game tape loading. Hero's Quest also had tape loading between missions, but when it loaded, there was no disturbance in playing.
I'm not justifying monk... errr CoD players, but these meaningless disturbances are milion times more annoying than zx loading.
@Hyperluminal as someone who plays Warzone, its very annoying.
That was a weird thing for you to comment my dude.
@PhhhCough - it is currently 195.6gb without the high resolution texture packs.
whats more annoying is activision's continued refusal to allow warzone to be decoupled and uninstalled from modern warfare. don't like it, never going to play it, so it's just wasting hard-drive space.
@Rob_230 - MW and Cold War take up a total of 320gb for me (and i don't have the 4k texture packs). i suspect the issue people might be running into is there's not enough space for updates (which are often huge) to be downloaded and applied. hdd's described as 500gb are only really about 450-460gb, then a chunk is reserved by PS4, so there's probably only about 400gb usable on a standard PS4. i'm using a PS4 pro, and still have about 260gb free on it so haven't seen the issue myself.
@Jacko11 yeah. Its was just me ranting at how rubbish gets attention like it matters. In effect I've done what those gamers have. Where's my article? πππ
@djlard id take 33 seconds of disturbance every 10 minutes over 20 minutes of loading with no guarantee i won't have to load it again if I even so much as breathed towards the tapedeck as it loaded ππ
@Hyperluminal I would rather wait 20 (or 40) minutes, than be disturbed every 10 minutes.
That feeling when you know every second pushes you towards playing Exolon, Manic Miner, Jet Pac, Green Berret, Lode Runner, Booty or Dynamite Dan...
@djlard exactly mate. Good times. Wouldn't swap it for anything.
@Hyperluminal Too... I also had book with programs and that was how I learned Basic.
