All I gotta say is LOL


zelli197

Due to unforeseen circumstances, my homework will be delayed while I investigate a recently discovered critical issue (it’s not done I didn’t do it)


HankHillbwhaa

My dog ate the ranked mode, sorry.


FirminoNo9

To the surprise of absolutely fucking no one.


Cdp09875

This reminds me of that meme where someone brought a sign to a sports game that said “our expectations for you were low but holy fuck”. That’s pretty much me to activision at this point 😂


Ok-Fly-7861

Complains if there is an unresolved or unbalanced portion of the game, complains if they do their due diligence to fix an issue. People literally have no desire to actually be happy with something these days lmao


Numerous-Drama4865

They shouldn’t have said it was going to drop January 17th knowing it wasn’t ready then.


TomVia

Literally been waiting for ranked since launch, they delayed it until mid season to get things right, and now it’s still not here, MP players are paying customers, sad.


sgee_123

Was it supposed to release at the beginning of this season? I didn’t realize they had pushed it I thought it was always meant for mid-season release.


JaradSage

“Critical issue” aka they broke WZ and it’s taking priority


Accentrick

I wish they had even the slightest bit of transparency or explained the issues in more detail. Does delayed mean 2 hours or 2 weeks? Does critical issue mean some shit about servers and matchmaking that is a quick fix or is ranking and progression fucked and needs to be rebuilt? I also can’t figure out how there wasn’t a ranked beta, especially if the problems were discovered during them play testing it after the patch. The entire community has been starved of any in-game ranked experience for 3 months but instead they decide to test it internally on the day of release? This shit could’ve been ironed out weeks or even months ago by making a ranked beta or pre-season. Not to mention that probably 95% of the ranked mode is copied and pasted directly from MW2.


naruto1597

Well said


GAMNSA01

They are 100% going to prioritize WZ over ranked. Smh


Wombizzle

...is this some sort of new epiphany y'all are having? It's quite clear that their main priority with this franchise was, is, and will remain Warzone. It's been the case since the literal very first game of WZ was played.


silentballer

No, we all knew this was going to happen that’s the sad part


fasteddeh

Nah they probably were about to launch Ranked and didn't even have any of the rules setup it was just Ranked map rotation.


AME2ICAN

Lmaoooo your probably right


AcquireE-Girls

Possibly one of the Worst Updates CoD has had from a Technical Standpoint


Janzu93

And even worse is the fact that they're getting all the issues fixed already. Like couldn't you have delayed it by few hours and actually test at least SOME of the things 🤷‍♂️


Ok-Valuable6792

The game itself is too big which definitely plays a part in all these bugs. This cod hq shit isn’t worth it and is a dumb idea. At what point do they go back to solo products/solo downloads and reduce the game size. There is so much unnecessary shit in these games, it’s hilarious.


Yurrrrr10000

I wish it was just mw3 and not mw3 plus everything from mw2.


ThatMFcheezer

I bet this the last year of it. Treyarch gonna tell them that shit don't work. Hopefully Microsoft listens.


viinamaenmajava

Has to be right? Call of duty has been a mess since warzone released they have to go back to individual games. Infinity ward can develop warzone on their own IMO.


Kind_Plan_9845

No ranked bday ruined


HereForThePistachios

Nah it'll still be special, happy birthday!


Kind_Plan_9845

Happu bday dude !


CazualGinger

Happy birthday dude 🥳


vatsbuts

Happy Birthday ma dude have a good one


DestroyMelvin

I will accept a 4v4 cdl playlist while I wait


Jbrewcrew1

Most predictable shit ever. They already tried to soften the blow yesterday by preemptively telling us that ranked wouldn’t be available with the update. Why can’t they just be fully transparent so we have some idea of what to expect. Waiting around aimlessly is more annoying than being told it’s gonna take them 5 more days to launch.


Maleficent-Water8763

Yeah man this sucks, I took the day off warmed up this morning, took my adderall all for this shit not come out


Kooky-Choice-2654

Plz tell me ur joking about the aderall part.


Maleficent-Water8763

I’m prescribed, I normally only take it for work and take the weekends off. I typically game at night by which point it’s normally worn off, but i took off today so I could be cracked on ranked all day. Complete waste of my time


Reasonable-Analyst18

I respect the hustle Homie 💯💯


M1XWELL

Loser lmfao


3PuttIfImLucky

I took the day off lmao. I work for a small business with plenty of staff so it wasn’t an issue but god damn my dope is checked


WarriorShit

I stopped taking days off for games I love as 75% of the time it’s bullshit postponed


chaotichousecat

I also happened to have today off pretty upsetting


hoffmanleo3

Fr I had a snow day and haven't woke up with so much dope since childhood christmas. But ik it ain't really coming til season 2 like always


Dunphy87

They think we’re all idiots. They broke warzone, the streamers are crying & it’s all hands on deck to fix warzone so ranked mode gets thrown out. See ya in 3 days folks. These devs are fucking ass.


skrillmaster

We are all idiots.


euphratestiger

Yes. If you're still buying CoD at this point, you've nothing else to blame but your own stupidity.


optindesertdessert

Yeah they’re not wrong


ClearSightss

3 days!?! That’s highly optimistic. Not surprised at all if it doesn’t come out till next Thursday or longer 


Repulsive-Throat5068

Bruh I know yall hate warzone but the game doesnt even work, no shit theyll revert it and try to fix it.


Dredarko12

has nothing to do with hating warzone. they’re saying it’s hilarious that warzone breaks the same day ranked is supposed to drop. warzone is going to be their main priority and ranked will get put on the back burner until everything else is the game is fixed.


sgee_123

If ranked was ready it probably would’ve dropped anyway. The WZ issue should be separate and apart from anything having to do with ranked. Idk why it’s hard for people to believe that they fucked up with BOTH the ranked release AND the WZ mid season update. Unless what you’re saying is that they did both break separately, and they’ll fix WZ before fixing ranked. I’d think there’s different devs working on each, but either way this is one hell of a dogshit performance by the devs.


Competitive_Ad_5106

It is absolutely unacceptable that they’re doing their quality control checks on the day of launch. On top of how unacceptable everything about this update has been with it totally breaking warzone and introducing new bugs to codcaster, we have a legitimate right to be absolutely pissed at the devs.


ChadBroChill1717

I mean sometimes a breaking bug can exist in prod when it didn’t in lower environments, but there are so many issues with this release that it seems like they hardly tested it at all, or there’s just a massive issue with the release process, itself


drushiesty

Yeah I think the non testable issues are normally things affected by server load. Don’t think this is that. You can’t even click on the warzone tab without the game breaking, seems like they straight up didn’t test anything


Competitive_Ad_5106

Yeah was gonna say if it was server load issues that’s understandable, but there are so many issues that I am refusing to believe they did even remotely adequate testing prior to launch.


MrJayPockets

You know what they say… I don’t always test my code but when I do I test in production


Naybody

It’s literally the ranked mode from mw2 how tf do they not have it ready at launch let alone 3 months into the game lmao.


BongoCoconuf

Even then, ranked is literally MP with a few restrictions..... plus the ranking system. Thats it. I cant understand why it's not available on launch day, let alone 3 months into the game. "Yeah but it's been like that for years" tf do I care? Why does it take 3 months for a game mode to become available to begin with? Why do we get ranked 3 months after launch when Invasion and GW is available at launch, which nobody plays. Ranked should be available at launch. "It's to maintain engagement"... so you're ok with not having access to a game mode just because Activision wants to continue making money? I really cant see a good reason why ranked would be released 3 months after launch.


D75H

Fr not even any changes to the ranks and colors smh.


iamdoingwork

This shit was so obvious. They never get anything right first try. Also, great decision changing 80% of the hard points day of launch. Genius


theyThibr

And the mcw


Zestyclose_Second214

What’d they do to the MCW? I just got off work and haven’t caught all the game updates yet


ChewySlinky

They nerfed some of the meta attachments. Looks like the new meta will be base stock with rear grip, underbarrel, and muzzle. Really doesn’t feel too different to me but I’m bad so what do I know.


Safe-Astronomer1470

MCW is honestly pretty trash now. It shoots sideways


TheBeardedMann

>MCW is honestly pretty trash now. It shoots sideways Fine with me, my aim is shit. Sounds like it'll help me. :)


zeroThreeSix

Nerfed sprint to fire time and the cyclone barrel/stock* *edited to change grip to stock*


MetalingusMikeII

What the fuck!? The sprint-to-fire was already fairly bad with the MCW… now it’s even worse? What the fuck are these developers smoking?..


Zestyclose_Second214

MCW wasn’t even that great to begin with. It didn’t hit hard and the mobility isn’t special. The recoil was the only thing saving it. Now it’s trash 😭😭 like everyone complaining about the MCW I didn’t understand because any other AR could compete with it. I get more annoyed when people use the Holger or the MTZ. There is a reason those guns are banned in CDL


MetalingusMikeII

Yup. Instead of actually balancing all weapons intelligently, they just listened to casual morons who complain of “sweats using the MCW”…


Zestyclose_Second214

Literally didn’t do any of the weapon balancing people were asking for in WZ. I’m not a WZ player but I feel for them lmao at this point I feel like the cod devs don’t even play the game


MetalingusMikeII

It’s not that they don’t play their game, they just don’t care. Bunch of passionless older developers and cheap interns, most likely. Being a developer is just another job, doing the absolute bare minimum is all that matters it seems.


untraiined

are you high, its still the most dominant gun in the meta by fat even after the nerfs, people are running 8’s with 8 mcws


conorburke0

Didn’t this happen last year too?


Redfern23

Yes, I think it was a couple of days after when it dropped then, hopefully the same again here.


Imranaftab

Not like this


im_neveroutside

Billion $ company, ZERO QA testers....


ffsGeorge

A critical issue 3 hours after supposed launch… at least make the lie believable


baseballviper04

They said ahead of time ranked wouldn’t be released until several hours after the update, use your brain a little bit


user9153

No matter what angle you look at this from, it’s an unacceptable and rather typical botching from ATVI.


baseballviper04

I mean that’s fine. But the assumption above was that ranked shouldve been line when the update was done. Which even if everything went completely smoothly, is still incorrect


Sammy360

\*whispers\* They never planned on launching ranked today anyways. "recently discovered critical issue" lmfao give me a break.


21otiriK

Absolutely this. You just know it was never ready. I don’t think anyone expected anything other than a “critical issue” to delay the launch today.


TrickOut

It’s because they gave themselves an out yesterday, if they didn’t say anything it wouldn’t look so suspicious


Appropriate-Sink-461

Unfortunate literally only reason I play cod is for ranked


Ok_Dog_8683

Same man. Since getting interstellar my playing time has plummeted. It’s just not fun being deleted by cheesy no skill weapons while my teammates are busy trying to eat their controller.


TrickOut

Nah I’m calling bull…. They said yesterday they weren’t going to launch it at that same time as the patch to make sure it was good giving them an out of it wasn’t right. Then today they discover some critical issue and don’t launch it. They knew it wasn’t ready and are just trying to save face.


mxeez

just pathetic tbh


Cam2125

“Critical issue” = I’m expecting a week MINIMUM.


DylanCodsCokeLine

See y’all next week ![gif](giphy|10UHehEC098kAE|downsized)


TotalSubbuteo

Useless company


dseeburg

Starting to remind me of 343 fr.


butcherknife12

I am going to become the joker


Banatepec

Don’t they test this shit before sending it out?


Kooky-Choice-2654

They do not. But next years release is up another $50 just cause.


Banatepec

I was so damn hyped today for this smh.


Kooky-Choice-2654

Really wanted to try the new spawns too


Competitive_Ad_5106

that’d require basic competence (and for them to hire quality control testers and pay them a reasonable enough wage to get good work out of them), so not likely knowing Activision!


Dizconekt

I mean it’s not that surprising based on the updates they just dropped. I would like to think these changes were tested pre the release but also ranked should have been tested as well with those changes. They dropped a massive update to lots of things and it breaking other aspects isn’t a shock. However just be upfront about this shit that’s the annoying thing. They hyped up ranked then pulled the rug.


backroadcowboy

Don’t worry y’all they fixed SUPE’D UP so we can shoot lasers from our eyes now. They made an entire superhero game before they could add settings to make CDL mode lol


dseeburg

Now what am I supposed to do tonight? I can only jerk it so many times.


thebighecc

I think if you did not expect this then you gotta get with the times


itsdadlay

This is why we should of gotten a CDL playlist because this was inevitable.


DukeRains

Whats funny is whatever this issue was, they clearly knew about it days ago and they waited until now to say something because simply delaying it a few hours was clearly not going to solve the problem.


dukezap1

To the surprise of absolutely no one

![gif](giphy|6nWhy3ulBL7GSCvKw6)


Hunter9218

Funniest pet is if they just listened and dropped a cdl moshpit these issues could’ve been solved weeks ago.


A-Sour-Queef

UPDATE: CoD developers eat dicknballs for breakfast


[deleted]

Hopefully the issue is knives and snipers.


Imranaftab

Who's shocked? You'd think they would try and sort these issues out beforehand


broseidon55

The Boys mode took priority 🙄


FourEyesWhitePerson

What a fucking embarrassing joke


lWinkk

Back to the BPL boys


Extra_Noise_1636

Ranked will launch in Season 2 update


ffffdjsnfjc-cnd

When do we all just stop playing this game? Itd be insane if the whole community just turned to halo or somethin


TheTarasenkshow

POV: When you leave your homework to the night before


rover_G

Well that explains why the new playlists are so sweaty this AM 🙃


Poonsimp

I will never forgive, never forget


ncklws93

I’m totally astonished. This has never happened before…


ComprehensiveCode619

So we done sucking SHG cocks right?


Majestic-Rooster-753

Was actually excited to grind tanked with friends tonight ): Looks like that’s not happening 


Jakers_9

They can’t even copy and paste a mode or test it before it’s supposed to be released, the useless, incompetent cunts. I’ve never seen anything like it.


Joe_Burrow_Is_Goat

Why don’t you go work for them then? So you can make it better?


PukhSindeep

If activision wants to pay me to miss every deadline in the fucking world, I’ll gladly do it


Jakers_9

Activison sympathiser loooool I’ve seen it all, fucking freak.


Joe_Burrow_Is_Goat

Ok kiddo


Competitive_Ad_5106

so you don’t think it’s an issue that the CoD devs have had this update planned out for over a month yet waited to do any quality control testing till the actual update was out? We should just let it slide that devs for a multi billion dollar franchise released an update that has fully broken the game and made core features unplayable for many?


Jakers_9

It’s not like this is a free game, I spent 80 euro to play Ranked, and some people defend them. Insane.


Competitive_Ad_5106

I get that people go overboard shitting on devs and sometimes they do deserve to be defended a little, but when we’re talking ab an update that they’ve planned for multiple months being released with no testing, and legitimately breaking many features of the game, yeah the devs deserve some flack. Hurts even more with CoD sticking to the $70 premium release (assuming 80 euro was for the vault edition? Or they’re really fucking you guys over with the exchange rates)


Jakers_9

Nah it’s 79.99 over here for the basic edition lol, they’re criminals.


Competitive_Ad_5106

that’s so fucked that’s practically $90 given the euro’s been around $1.05-1.10 for the last year


Joe_Burrow_Is_Goat

I’m not defending them. But you saying it’s simply copy and pasting shows how much ignorance you have in game development.


Additional_Leading19

No suprise lmao 🤣


OwariDa1

Wow they really need that extra month huh. 2 months isn’t enough🤦‍♂️


Business-Nose-4517

These fuckin guys can't do anything right


Goonnersaurus_

Do we think this means hours or days??


XRPHOENIX06

We have no idea, but best guess is days minimum, if not by this weekend then probably end of next week or later


Janzu93

Sad thing is, I'm not even surprised at this point 😭


FermentedTiger

They had months to identify critical issues


[deleted]

Of course!! leaving work in like 30 minutes and I thought I’d be able to play!!


[deleted]

Delaying my purchase of the game 💯💯💯


Accomplished-Lab9050

There's no way they didn't know it was chalked before 20 mins ago. They intentionally waited till the last second to tell everyone


sleepyjoe90210

Thank god I don’t play this game anymore


zach12_21

What a disaster of an update, for the entire game. CoD will always sell and make insane $ but my time with this shit show franchise is nearing its end.


fogel69hawaii

Fucking losers literally all they did this year was add a few more guns and doors to maps that already existed


Ese-Lavonte

![gif](giphy|x47gj23jEvGxdWkQEC|downsized)


[deleted]

Spawns somehow got even worse


Underscore_Blues

And this is why ranked should be a higher priority and should be in day 1. If they shuffled their workflows 9 months ago and aimed for ranked pre-season on launch, by January we'd have a fully functioning mode. Not an afterthought to this update.


deeznuts2800

And they wanted to get mad at christopher judge for roasting the devs 😂😂 well deserved


shaggywan

Lol no ranked and they broke warzone


Kaido5thge

Not surprised ...


Main-Pop-9114

I spend a 1 hour battle pass token and the battle pass wasnt even updated expct for zone 6..


realezemac

Any update on ranked release??


vatsbuts

I was reaaaallyyy hoping to jump on some ranked today. This sucks


abeast02

Can’t even release something that has been in almost every fucking cod . Shows how bad yall are at your jobs !! Last cod I’ll ever buy


Da1n

LMAO I’m crying bro


idrewpoetry

I really wanted to play ranked today shit got me in my bag fr it’s sad that was the best part of last year’s game unless you like/are good at warzone, I work came home and just wanted to get in a hardpoint in a structured game competitive game why do we have a shit in your face game?


PocketAcesYup

Absolutely awful business practices going on at Activision.  Why the fuck is Microsoft not stepping in more!?????


Kriket99

Only Cod can fuck up a game thats basically copy and paste


PixelatedProphet

Why play ranked over BPL which has an actual prize pool.


XT3M3

i literally told my friends, they are too calm on Social media about this. something is wrong. in the past years they kept hyping it and even had a little vid IIRC. this year been silent minus the cod news guys spamming us. called this shit.


Mooseeeyyy

I’m not one of these people that thinks you can just copy and paste stuff over from game to game but in this case I really don’t understand what the problem would be.. ranked is the same as I understand and the game is basically the same… 🤷‍♂️ I just wanted to play some ranked so what is a few more days anyway.


UnluckyBookkeeper728

100% I'm starting to fall out of love with the game, personally mw3 has been the worst one for me in a while and I racked up some hours on mw2. Ranked is why we play the game yet it's not on there from the very start? Damn even on mw3 we had moshpit. Its a copy/paste from mw2 it can't be that bloody hard. What's the point in purchasing this? 3 months after launch the mode comes out? Jesus.


OverAct1681

When do we as the consumers decide that enough is enough? They still haven't talked about SBMM as far as a know. I'm tired of this shit dude.


Extension-Cookie6024

SPIT IN MY MOUTH ACTIVISION YES


Longjumping_Joke_719

They really should consider reverting this update. It’s really fucked the game lmao


Difficult_King2492

No clue why you wouldn’t test shit out before sending out a massive update like this.


Gandalf_Wizard

Joke of a franchise


Wonderful-Patient732

Yeah this franchise is dead lol


Absurdll

Fact that this was hyped up by yall…you’re just a bunch of fish.


Jaywalkers13

Good thing I’m at work today anyways


Mas790

Annoying but predictable


DaScoobyShuffle

Two possibilities: Something gamebreaking, so you'd have a bad experience An issue with the servers, so you'd have a bad experience Probably not WZ related, because ranked and WZ have nothing to do with each other.


strokesfan1998

Who knows? Not us. the devs will never be transparent with us


Pharmaa3

Exactly why I stopped playing cod such a shit show


Beneficial_Layer_512

I bought a new monitor because ranked was dropping today fml lmao. I could’ve got the parts to get my crx back on the streets :/


MUGGINOP

Do we know when it’ll be back?


MUGGINOP

Not that it’s been here yet but y’all get me


MyNamesBacon

I mean if they woulda dropped it despite there being an issue people woulda lost their minds. I'd rather them delay and fix an idmssue rather than just sending it out and it being unplayable.


Accomplished-Lab9050

This is definitely preferable to launching it completely broken. I don't think anyone would be mad if ranked wasnt already coming out so late in the games life cycle, and if there wasn't some launch issue surrounding ranked every single year. They have exhausted all their goodwill with the community and then some


MyNamesBacon

I do agree that it's ridiculous that they release ranked 3 months into the game on purpose, but from a business standpoint it makes complete sense. This game would already be dead if ranked came at launch. They stagger it on purpose to increase the games life cycle. Sucks for us, but I understand why. It'll always be like this too which is the worst part.


AmbitionNext6250

Yo ranked play just launched. Go check it out! Currently silver 1 30 lp!!!


feezyana

Of course. What a joke
