Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play plagued by game-crashing glitch resulting in unfair suspensions.

A critical bug in Call of Duty: Warzone's Ranked Play mode is causing widespread frustration among players. A developer error triggers game crashes, which are mistakenly interpreted as intentional quits, leading to automatic 15-minute suspensions and a 50 Skill Rating (SR) penalty. This is causing significant outrage within the community.

The issue, highlighted by CharlieIntel and DougisRaw, severely impacts player progression. The SR loss is particularly damaging as it directly affects competitive ranking and end-of-season rewards. Players are reporting lost win streaks and demanding compensation for the SR deductions. Many are expressing extreme dissatisfaction with the game's current state, using terms like "ridiculously garbage" to describe their experience.

This latest glitch follows a pattern of ongoing issues in Warzone and Black Ops 6. Despite recent updates promising bug fixes, new problems continue to emerge, exacerbating player frustration. The December shutdown and the reported 50% player drop on platforms like Steam, even with the recent Squid Game collaboration, underscore the urgency for developers to address these persistent problems. The negative player sentiment highlights the need for immediate and effective action from Activision and the development teams to restore player confidence and prevent further player attrition.
