Developer Raven Software is one of several Activision studios responsible for Call of Duty, with the company considered the face of maintaining and managing the ongoing Warzone side of things. Last week, we brought you word of the game's vaunted Season 1 Reloaded update buckling the game, and Raven has issued an apology, explaining what went wrong.
Raven posted its mea culpa on Twitter, and the developer said it had been caught with its pants down, "laying the groundwork for the return of some fan favourite features in upcoming seasons", part of which inadvertently went live in the update. This caused a conflict between live player data and the studio's servers, leading to the many bizarre bugs and glitches players experienced.
Raven rallied teams from around the globe and released an update to address Season 1 Reloaded's issues the next day. The developer apologised for the snafu and promised to do better in the future: "We - as devs - love this game and apologise for the disruption that resulted from these events. Please know that we hold ourselves to a high standard, and yesterday's issues did not align with that."
The swift resolution appears to have mollified players for the moment, along with the promise of "fan favourite features in upcoming seasons". Enthusiast COD account Modern Warzone put the whole situation quite succinctly: "Update was a major L, the response to the major L has been a W."

OK as long as they apologise.
Bet the microtransactions work fine though
Call of Dookie
I expected something like "Now that we are part of microsoft, we asked Bethesda for some help and we discovered they are even worse than we are. Who would have guessed?"
We’re still waiting on further conversation about the SBMM system as well
Did they f up like this before or is this the MS stink that is crapping up the place.
Easy fix, people stop playing COD. Better teams and companies games to play and support
Did they run out of glitter to roll it in?
If devs apologise, does it still mean something? It seems like a dev feature in the current climate. Saying you set high standards and then putting a mea culpa on Twitter (kudos for not calling it X 😋 )is a bit of a paradox! I mean, we all make mistakes but for the most part, they kinda know what they are releasing to the public?
I've not played warzone for ages. Can anybody tell me if it's different or is it still the same warzone 2 map.
I have not bought MW3 even though I put countless hours in MW2.. I have so many friends that play but I was really letdown that will DMZ did not get an update along with Warzone. On top of that, they charge you $70 for the game that is basically DLC.
Trust me, if there was a game that was as even remotely as fun as DMZ. I would buy it in a heart beat. I’m begging Sony to please remake Socom and create an extraction based game with mission based objectives while you’re fighting PvP. There is a big void here.. I would literally pay money for a kick starter like this.. just saying.
