Call of Duty: Warzone Patch Notes - Dec 14th
Warzone’s biggest update ever has now been released for over a week. With players now beginning to find the best weapons in the game, the search for the new meta is now on, with a new patch arriving today on Thursday, December 14. Here’s everything you need to know, including weapon updates, gameplay changes and more.
One of the biggest issues with Warzone’s new Urzikstan map is the inconsistency with audio. Thankfully, the audio has been rebalanced with today’s update, and should be much improved. Raven Software noted that “When making changes such as this, there’s a complex mix of variables we need to meticulously look at and consider. One of the primary factors to consider is the fidelity of the experience across our titles to avoid too large a gap between Warzone, Multiplayer, and Zombies. Beyond that, changes to things like occlusion, falloff distance, first-person vs third-party balance, or specific Perk mechanics, can have ripple effects due to the sheer number of interacting/overlapping sounds in a Battle Royale match.”
This means that audio in Warzone may not be perfect, but Raven are continuing to monitor community feedback and work on updates.
