The recent launch of Season 5 in Call of Duty: Warzone has once again left players frustrated with the new UI. While the season brings in a significant amount of new content, many players are urging Activision and Infinity Ward to prioritize a less confusing and more appealing UI for the game's loyal fanbase.
On August 2, Activision and Infinity Ward introduced Warzone Season 5, which introduced new features such as battle royale and DMZ, additional vehicles, and an update to the general playlist. Throughout the season, Warzone players can anticipate even more fresh content, as well as an exciting reveal event for Call of Duty 2023. This in-game event allows players to team up with Shadow Company, eliminate Konni troops, and secure a dangerous chemical weapon. Moreover, Activision has recently teased that the Call of Duty 2023 reveal event will take place within the next week, so fans can look forward to receiving more information soon.
TSM-HabZ, a Call of Duty fan, recently shared a screenshot of the new Warzone UI, sparking frustration among fans regarding its menus and overall aesthetic. Many Warzone players have pointed out that the new UI bears resemblance to the menus found in streaming services like Netflix and Hulu. Some even believe that it has been designed to encourage microtransactions, reminiscent of mobile games. While popular Warzone modes like DMZ and Resurgence remain easily accessible, players express dissatisfaction with the current layout of options and the lack of lobby features.
There are a few Warzone players, such as AyKayAllDay47, who acknowledge that the new UI update may benefit those who only engage with a few of the game's modes. They argue that, for instance, selecting Resurgence takes only seconds as it is conveniently located next to the Featured and DMZ modes in Warzone's main menu.
The Warzone community has long been divided over the game's user interface (UI), and any updates that worsen the experience for a significant portion of players may attract further criticism. Therefore, it would be beneficial for Infinity Ward to actively listen to player feedback in order to make necessary adjustments and improvements.
On a positive note, Infinity Ward has committed to providing an abundance of new content for Season 5, including new operators, weapons, and events. Moreover, players can anticipate a major "Reloaded" update for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone Season 5, potentially bringing further UI tweaks and fixes by the end of August 2023.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
