What changed in Season 4 of CoD Warzone? Season 4 is currently running in CoD Warzone. It brought players new content, such as maps, POIs, and Easter eggs. Actually a reason to be happy. However, the community expressed frustration about a consequence of the new content: the change in the weapon meta in the game.
Where is the problem? The meta for the weapons changed due to the new content.

Player says: He is good at the beginning of a match – helpless when others get their loadout
What is the criticism from the players? Reddit user danielhollenbeck13 published a post titled: “Changed meta due to new weapons makes the game incredibly difficult for casual players, regardless of skill level.”
His critique was:
I have a job where I have a lot to do during the summer and winter months. For this reason, I can’t play as often during those months, which means I don’t have time to level these weapons. I played for the first time today since April, and the start of the game is amazing. I even have 6 kills before the loadout arrives. But the second the loadout drops, I am incredibly outmatched.
I understand that this is normal, and my complaint doesn’t change anything. It’s just really annoying that on my first day back in 3 months I would constantly win games if all my best weapons hadn’t been nerfed since my last game.

The user clearly states that casual gamers have little chance of winning in CoD Warzone if they do not adapt to the meta changes.
Leveling the weapons is time-consuming and casual players simply lack the time to grind adequately. He emphasized in his post that the weapon loadout was the moment when things went downhill for him in the match.
What does the community say on reddit about it? Many players agreed with danielhollenbeck13.
- arrftr said: “You are not wrong or the first to complain. It’s annoying for everyone.”
- hawley088 suspected a strategy behind it: “This way they make so much money. Level up a weapon in Vanguard in 2 hours or in 10 hours in Plunder.”
- ajl987 complained: “That’s why I just went back to MW multiplayer and single-player games. I just don’t have the time or desire to deal with this crap anymore.”
However, some users also contradicted the criticism:
- Freddy-Borden: “The counterargument is that the meta is actually quite open, especially for medium and long range, and there are a good number of viable weapons. I still regularly get killed by weapons from MW and CW. You don’t have to follow the meta just because everyone else does.”
- Ffloz: “[…] There will always be a meta… People need to stop whining.”

Not only reddit users but also a Twitch streamer is annoyed by CoD. She tested Modern Warfare 2 and got banned in Warzone.
