Raven Software just pulled a wild move — well, maybe not wild, but controversial? — as they decided to ditch Battle Royale Solos in Call of Duty: Warzone Season 4. I was sipping my morning coffee, reading the patch notes, and bam — Solos gone! Replaced by something called Battle Royale Casual Solos. I mean, okay, they say it’s a mix of real players and bots, but still. I giggled thinking about some poor bot messing up my game. Does that even make sense?
Anyway, today’s the big launch for Season 4 of Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 and Warzone. New guns, new maps, new ways to die early in a match, I guess. But, honestly, people seem more fired up about what’s missing than what’s new. While some are already moaning about no more Solos, others are worked up over this Door Barricade upgrade — hello, more campers. Hate those guys. But oh, we’ll see. The barricade thing isn’t rolling out all at once; it’s sneaking into playlists slowly.
Let’s circle back to the Solos drama — Raven Software, bless their experimental hearts, is saying this Casual Solos thing is a hit. Okay, maybe that’s an exaggeration, but they seem pretty sure of themselves. They’re replacing Solos with this mixed bag mode in hopes it’ll make things more, uh, manageable? If that’s the right word. Kinda feels like being forced to play hopscotch with strangers, but hey, they say it’s popular, right? Who am I to judge?
The Twitter mob is, predictably, not thrilled. Saw one tweet calling this a “terrible” idea. Another was like, “Leave my squads alone!” Throw some shade, Twitter warriors. But, real talk, these bot-filled rooms took off last season, which probably explains why they’re trying it again. Raven’s watching the feedback like a hawk — get it? Raven? Hawk? I’ll see myself out.
When this season goes live on May 29, the playlist shake-up will hit too. Solos might be out in the cold, but Duos and Quads are still kicking around. Trios? Oh, you’ll find them only in Ranked Play. Over in Resurgence land, Solos, Duos, and the whole gang play on Rebirth Island. And hey, Clash is back — 52v52 insanity with respawns. Sounds like chaos. Sweet, sweet chaos.
So, here we are, in the weird, wonderful world of Warzone. We’ve got changes, we’ve got outrage, and somewhere in it all, there’s gonna be a lot of sweating and shouting into mics. Cheers to that, right?
