Excitement over Rebirth Island’s return didn’t last long, as game-breaking glitches forced Raven Software to remove the map from Warzone hours after release. Warzone’s integration with Black Ops 6 experienced several troubling issues. Some players claimed that the battle royale is “worse than ever” after the Season 1 update failed to meet expectations.
Choppy movement, inconsistent audio, a bloated weapon pool, and a worse Perk system only highlight some pressing issues. Thankfully, the development team vowed to improve the audio quality and addressed other community complaints. However, a turbulent launch led some players to question why the integration ever needed to happen in the first place, which does not bode well for the battle royale’s future.
The latest playlist update didn’t help ease tension, as game-breaking glitches ruined Rebirth Island’s highly-anticipated return to the fold. Raven Software confirmed , “We’ve removed Rebirth Island from the playlist while we investigate map-specific issues. Other maps and modes remain unaffected.
” While disappointing, several content creators shared clips proving that the map was not ready to release in its current state. CoD streamer Zyro posted a video and complained about “horrible” lighting, game freezes, deafening audio, and invisible guns not being lootable. Rebirth has been back 2 minutes and they've ALREADY Messed it up 😂😂😂 – Lighting is horrible – game freezes – audio is DEAFENING – guns are invisible when you pick them up Did they do this on purpose to get people to play area 99???? pic.
