Call of Duty games, especially Warzone 2, have multiple issues when it comes to COD servers alone. If you have played the game, you would have seen queueing with 150 people turns into 120 while you are deploying.

The Call of Duty server works like this, if you do any kind of movement in the game it sends signal back to the main frame and from there to various other gaming devices where the movement can be seen. When you are fighting against an enemy, you shoot from a gun or throw a punch or do melee, these happens due to server tick rate which keeps track of everything. These are basically information’s that the server records. But these being information’s, sometimes can malfunction due to discrepancies. Moreover, players might have witnessed that, when they perform a movement in game it will not occur as you see. Let’s say you fired a shot and killed an opponent, but the next second you see yourself dying. This happens because of the server problem in games which Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2 are famous for.
But the developers Activision not actively making improvements to solve the problem is the main reason for the player’s anger.

Besides that, the lack of innovative ideas, repetition of same gaming content and most of all Hackers have made the game unplayable and stale.
