And even more if you have Cold War installed.

Activision just released a little look at what is coming later this week to Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. Details were kind of sparse as far as Warzone is concerned, but there was a lot to share for Cold War. We at least know just how big the updates will be across all platforms, so let's take a look at those first. ...

The green gas is turning players into undead hunters.

As Season 3 for Call of Duty: Warzone approaches, some big happenings are beginning to take place around the map. After an update released this morning, there are zones that are now marked as toxic that will turn players into zombies when they die there.

Areas like Shipwreck and the Prison are now marked with the nuclear symbol. You can also tell you're in one of these affected areas by the "white flecks"...

Activision has repeat offenders in their sights.

Since its release, Activision has banned over 475,000 Call of Duty: Warzone accounts due to cheating. This massive figure was revealed today during their anti-cheat progress report. This total comes right as the studio issued another big ban wave just yesterday, their seventh largest ban wave since February.

Activision also notes that their security and enforcement teams issue daily bans to individual offenses or repeat...

But their impact leaves a lot to be desired.

Nukes are already launching in Call of Duty: Warzone despite the event not supposed to occur for about two weeks from now. Some players have already seen the missiles flying and landing early, but they come not with a bang but with a tepid whimper. A Redditor, AmedeeO10, noticed the missiles flying through the air during a match of King Slayer Trios.

Though the nukes were flying through the air, quite frequently at that, their...

Raven just nerfed the best game in Warzone.

One of the most commonly picked weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone just got a big nerf today in the game's latest update. Raven just gave the FFAR a pretty big nerf.

Included in today's update is word that the weapon now takes longer to aim down sights. Raven says that the FFAR "is a jack of all trades. It has the damage profile and range of an AR as well as the fire rate of an SMG. The FFAR's wholesale efficacy has it edging...

And just like that, they're gone again.

Just yesterday, we delivered news about the new update for Call of Duty: Warzone that brought back attack helicopters to the game. They were previously removed back in late 2020 because they allowed players to turn invisible, which isn't something that is necessarily good to have in a battle royale game. Go figure.

Just a day later and here we are talking about how the attack helicopters are once again removed from the game due to...

Update also adds new Operators and more.

The massive update for Call of Duty: Warzone is now available to players all around the globe. This update, weighing in at a hefty 52GB, adds in two new Operators, the ZRG sniper rifle, and new bundles to warzone. Those who also own Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War, will get to enjoy some new multiplayer maps, modes, and other features. But we're not here to talk about that right now. We're here to talk about Warzone content only.

You have to give a lot to get a little.

Tomorrow (March 30) a new update for Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War will be released. There will be far more coming for those with Cold War but Warzone fans won't be left completely out in the cold. While Cold War owners will get new maps and modes, Warzone players will get a new sniper rifle and some new operators.

Now, there is some good news and some bad news here for Warzone fans. The good news is...

Everyone loves a good double XP event.

There will be a tasty new double XP weekend coming soon for both Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Black Ops - Cold War. The increased experience gains will be earned towards player levels, weapon levels, and also the battle pass. This should be great for those that are still working their way through the second season's battle pass.

The double XP weekend begins on March 26 at 10AM (PT). It will run through the weekend and conclude...

Is it enough?

Raven Software and Activision just brought the banhammer down in full force on Call of Duty: Warzone cheaters. The latest ban wave comes about a month after another massive ban wave. Today's ban total amounts to over 30,000 accounts that have been banned for cheating.

In total, the studios have banned roughly 100,000 accounts just in 2021 so far. That's the good news.

The bad news is that it still might not be enough to matter for some players....

Get ready for some needed nerfs.

Some of the best weapons in Call of Duty: Warzone just received some much needed rebalancing today. Specifically, weapons such as the DMR 14, Type 63, Mac-10, and Dual pistols have been hit with the big nerf bat.

An update provided by Raven Software says that the weapon headshot damage has been decreased and recoil increased in some of these weapon choices. The studio did not provide exact details such as damage numbers or anything else...

This is the first of two planned updates.

Starting tomorrow, the biggest update to Call of Duty's multiplayer mode will be rolled out. Ahead of this major Season One update for the game, Treyarch released the first of two planned patches for Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War and Call of Duty: Warzone.

The first patch for Black Ops Cold War ranges in size between 3.7GB to 7.1GB depending on platform. A larger patch for Warzone players will arrive around 11PM (PT) tonight....

Play as a couple of iconic horror movie villains in the new Warzone event.

If you thought that Call of Duty: Warzone would be a safe reprieve from the spooks and scares that come with the Halloween season, you would be wrong. You would be dead wrong. Call of Duty: Warzone has a special "Haunting of Verdansk" that stars Leatherface from The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Jigsaw from the Saw franchise. Not only are these two now stalking the battlefield for their next victim,...

Get ready for reduced system latency.

A new Game Ready driver paired with a new game update will enable NVIDIA Reflex support for Call of Duty: Warzone and Call of Duty: Modern Warfare today. NVIDIA Reflex is a new technology that utilizes GPU, G-Sync displays, and in-game support to reduce system latency in select competitive titles.

The Game Ready driver is already out (driver 456.55 WHQL). The game update won't be out until 10PM (PT) tonight. This NVIDIA Reflex improvement...

We're sorry...

Activision has filed a lawsuit against a cheat maker responsible for creating and selling Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone hacks. This lawsuit threat pushed the developer to disable their hacks for all Call of Duty related products and issue an apology to the Call of Duty player base before shutting down operations.

The statement, which was originally posted to the cheat maker's Discord and relayed via Reddit, finds the cheat makers...
