Using the Power of Warzone 2 Pings: How Small Features Can Make a Big Difference

Call of Duty: Warzone 2, a successor to the immensely successful battle royale title Call of Duty: Warzone, demonstrates that Infinity Ward, the studio behind the game, is genuinely attentive to the input from its player base. This was proven recently when the developer made changes to Warzone 2’s Resurgence squad sizes following backlash from the community. Another great example of how Infinity Ward listens to the community was recently seen when a Redditor posted a clip celebrating the power of the game’s ping system.

The clip posted by the Redditor lostinmymind82 showed how even the smallest of features in Warzone 2 could make a big difference. The clip demonstrated the perfect use of Call of Duty: Warzone 2’s ping system. Here, one player used the ping system to give information to another player, who then used the information to shoot enemies through a smoke, where they normally wouldn’t have had a vision. As the clip was so impressive, it elicited surprise and admiration from other players in the Reddit thread. 

Further discussion within the thread included talking about the game’s ping system, with some players mentioning they would “ping a boulder to their right” in a similar situation. This goes to show how sometimes the ping system isn’t perfect and can require updates from Infinity Ward in order to iron out any bugs. One user even mentioned that the clip was so impressive it might have caused others to file a report, as indications don't appear in the recorded footage.

In conclusion, this clip has shown us that it’s important to pay close attention to Warzone 2’s ping system, as even the smallest of features can make a big difference in the hands of a great player. Infinity Ward has proven itself to be a great listener, and with the original Call of Duty: Warzone receiving multiple years of support, gamers will be expecting the same level of dedication from them with Warzone 2. So far, they’re making the right moves, and it’s great to see the game’s player base steadily growing.
