Ever since its debut last year in November 2022, Activision’s latest battle royale entry in Call of Duty Warzone 2 has witnessed a rollercoaster ride. That’s because some players have liked it for its new approach while others haven’t. It’s also due to certain features that are now present in the game. For example, the crossplay functionality is something not every player is fond of. Especially when they don’t want to interact with any other platform user.
