The unexpected playlist update was live for less than an hour, but it meant that matchmaking inCall of Duty: Black Ops6andWarzonewas temporarily unavailable.
The surprise outage was the icing on the cake for players, asCall of Duty: Black Ops 6’s ranked mode continues to be infested with cheatersand hackers. While Treyarch has been vocal about rectifying the issue with new improvements to the game’s Ricochet anti-cheat system, fans appear to be losing hope for the shooter as continued hit registration issues and bug-ridden holiday events are just some of the many problems thatCall of Dutyplayers are facing on a daily basis.
Accidental Call of Duty Update Briefly Suspends Matchmaking
On December 20,Call of Duty: Black Ops 6andWarzoneserverswere temporarily unavailable after an unexpected developer playlist update was released to the public. Users who attempted to play eitherBlack Ops 6orWarzonewere met with strange playlist options such as' #TDM - Bots - Phalanx Testing' or ‘#CER - TDM - Menu Test’, which are some of the many internal playlists used by developers when testing new modes. These playlists were unplayable for the general public, which meant there was no way for the community to jump into a match ofCall of Dutyfor a brief period. Thankfully, Treyarch was quick to address the issue and reverted the accidental update in less than an hour.
While yesterday’s playlist update was a rather unexpected one, Treyarch did please fans who were locking in for the holiday weekend by bringing back one ofBlack Ops 6’s most popular playlists: Stakeout 24/7. The map is often regarded as the best in the game, mainly due to its small scale and fast-paced gameplay which allows for users to rack up plenty of headshots for the never-ending camo grind.
Black Ops 6andWarzoneplayers also have a new holiday event to check out, but many fans were left baffled after discovering that a strange bug was allowing them to instantly unlock all of the event’s rewards. Archie’s Festival Frenzy is scheduled to run until January 3, but Treyarch recently confirmed it would begranting allBlack Ops 6andWarzoneplayers the accompanying rewardsat the end of the event, regardless of what progress was made by the player. Although Treyarch didn’t reveal why all players would be receiving the rewards, it’s speculated to be due to the aforementioned bug that was unlocking all of the rewards for certain players.
