One of the biggest differences between the first iteration of Warzone and the sequel that we play now is UAVs.
Once used as more of a weapon than a basic recon scan, UAVs were a necessity to any team looking to achieve high-kill games...or even make some nice late-game plays.
But heading into Warzone 2, the Al Mazrah Buy Stations nerfed the killstreak by only housing one UAV per station, and now they've limited them to just one player.
UAVs have been nerfed, again, in Warzone 2
As per the official Call of Duty blog, the Warzone Season 3 Reloaded patch notes contain some damning news for aggressive teams, as UAVs have been nerfed heavily.
Usually, a UAV would give recon to all players on the team when a player calls in the stream, highlighting enemies in the vicinity of all players, whether it be solos, duos, or quads.
Now though, the developers have confirmed that the UAV killstreak will now only radiate around the player who calls it in, meaning if you have teammates that have split up, they will no longer get pings around their location.
Warzone 2 fans blast new UAV changes
The developers claim that this change is being deployed to balance out the UAV usage as they have now made the killstreak more accessible for players at every Buy Station, and hope that this will prevent them from becoming overpowered.
However, fans of the franchise have strongly disagreed. Ian "Crimsix" Porter, arguably the best Call of Duty player ever, took to Twitter to share a "some men just want to watch the world burn" gif in response to the change.
"Why are they killing their already dead game," said another fan. The balance comes into play for Warzone 2 Season 3 Reloaded, which is now live, and will also be in effect for Warzone Ranked too, but won't effect Modern Warfare 2.
