While there has been a fair bit of negativity aroundCall of Duty: Warzonesince the launch of Caldera, one thing that has been heavily praised is the Vanguard playlists. Unfortunately, the latestCall of Duty: Warzoneplaylist update removed these options from the game, and fans are not pleased about the change back to traditional battle royale.
Call of Duty: Warzone’s Vanguard playlistshave the same rules as normal battle royale matches, with one key difference: they only feature items fromCall of Duty: Vanguard. This has been popular among players for several reasons, with the first being that everyone has a level playing field. Gamers are forced to use the same batch of guns, with many needing to level them up instead of having them all maxed out from the start. Further, the focused item pool removes controversial items like the Heartbeat Sensor, making for a less frustrating experience.

Despite all the praise for the Vanguard Royale playlists,Call of Duty: Warzonedeveloper Raven Softwarehas decided to remove them from the playlist rotation this week. On one hand, this is understandable, as the main playlists are excluding a lot of the weapons and content that is in the game. ForCall of Dutyplayers who miss the gear fromModern WarfareandBlack Ops Cold War, this change is likely good news. However, for players who prefer the more balanced approach, this is a disappointing decision.
In response to the playlist announcement from Raven Software,Call of Duty: Warzoneplayerand streamer FaZe Kalei questioned the developer about its choice. Spamming question marks and asking why the change was made, the pro player is clearly disappointed in the playlist adjustment. She also points out that only Plunder has kept the Vanguard rules, meaning that players will have to play the loot-focused game mode if they do not want to deal with weapons and gear from the other integratedCall of Dutytitles.
Another professionalCall of Dutyplayer, @MVapulear, was just as frustrated as Kalei. After seeing the change, the streamer said that the game is “finished” if the Vanguard playlists do not return. With high profile content creators like TimTheTatman and Dr Disrespect already making theirdislike forCall of Duty: WarzonePacificclear, the last thing that the game needs is more complaints from influential voices. Unfortunately, it seems like this change is just not what the fan base wanted to see.
With changes likeCall of Duty: Warzone’s ADS adjustmentsproving controversial as well, the community is clearly not pleased with the current state of the game. Hopefully, Raven Software can respond to the feedback sooner rather than later, finding a middle ground that satisfies a majority of players.
