📢 Call of Duty: #Warzone
Tomorrow morning at 10 AM PT, we'll be pushing an update to the current playlists to add traditional Battle Royale Quads and Battle Royale Casual Quads.
@the_clay_bird@CODUpdates I don’t care. I rather have the game go down fighting than have participation trophy modes. We have btw ranked to play against similar skilled players.
@Sandy0471@CODUpdates No, if you don’t “cater to casuals” which are 90% of the players, you’ll lose 90% of the players and you’ll have de facto SBMM anyway because the only people left are hardcore ultra skilled players. Playing people similar to your skill is “unfair”? Lol
@queeenthang@CODUpdates It’s a participation trophy mode and it’s making normal pubs a lot harder. I like ranked but sometimes I want to play pubs with my buddy’s that are not that good.
@Sandy0471@CODUpdates Have you played casual recently? Lol it’s by far not as easy as it used to be. Granted, still not hard to make it to the real teams but it’s actually fun. Everyone is not as good as you so some of us enjoy it.
@Sandy0471@CODUpdates Do you play casuals? I bet you don't....if you did you would know that 95% of all games are PvP in the endgame last circle. Most casual lobbies kill bots at the start and have PvP in endgame. It ensures that you make it to the last circle, which most people never experience.
@Erik945151911@CODUpdates I do agree that having bad team mates is a huge problem. But theres other ways to combat this than adding a participation trophy mode.
@Sandy0471@CODUpdates I can’t even play and get traction for the black ops royal mode because of the operator orders I played casual so I can be able to get something done and relax not deal with teammates that don’t know what to do or stay alive for 7 minutes
@Sandy0471@CODUpdates Bro people like me who come home after long working hours don’t want to be killed 5 minutes into the game by a pro gamer who doesn’t do anything but play all day. Casuals is for many people like me who play just for the fun of it and don’t want too much challenge
@the_clay_bird@CODUpdates SBMM needs to go. It’s not fair that you get harder lobbies by improving your skills. Catering to casuals will destroy the game. Casuals won’t hesitate to go play other games. I would rather listen to people’s that are passionate about the game.
@Sandy0471@CODUpdates They could do that if they made SBMM stronger like it should be and like it was for the first 3-4 years. If they do “open matchmaking” without casual mode the game will just lose 80% of its players within days.
📢 Call of Duty: #Warzone
Over the past year, we’ve learned a lot from introducing bots through Casual experiences across Battle Royale and Resurgence.
Those modes helped us better understand how to deliver the best gameplay experience in Call of Duty: Warzone across the player population. With the launch of Black Ops Royale in Season 02 Reloaded, we’re continuing to build on those learnings with a regional matchmaking test in the new mode.
As part of this test, starting next week bots may be introduced into select Black Ops Royale lobbies in Europe and the Middle East only. We will, as always, gauge success based on player data and player feedback.
For those of you who play Casuals, the current global BR Casual playlist will not be active initially while we run these tests. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause near term. We simply are striving to always put forward the best gameplay experience possible.
During the 12-day war in June 2025, we published this investigation revealing the ways in which many Arab and Muslim majority states were actively aiding Israel in the bombing of both Gaza and Iran.

A message from #TeamRICOCHET:
When Ranked Play launches in Season 02, RICOCHET Anti-Cheat will introduce a stronger form of remote, cloud-based attestation. This additional layer of protection works before a match begins and builds on our existing TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot requirements, setting a new security bar for one of our most competitive modes.
This approach verifies PC integrity using Microsoft Azure Attestation, directly countering attempts to bypass system-level protections. It’s the most robust attestation technology available today, and we’re bringing it first to Ranked Play, giving our competitive players the most secure experience possible.
Most players won’t need to change any settings; the majority of PCs are already compliant. Checking ahead of time helps avoid surprises and supports a fair experience for everyone.
