Original story (published on March 08, 2022) follows:
COD Warzone is one of the few Battle Royale titles in the franchise. Developed by Raven Software and published by Activision, it is also one of the most successful installments in the series.
The online-only game is free-to-play and supports up to 150 players with some game modes even allowing 200 players to join in.
But in the last few weeks, players have complained about several bugs such as the ‘Content Package is no longer available’ issue and weapon camos not staying or getting unequipped after exiting Gunsmith.
And now, COD Warzone players are now reporting (1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10) that the ping system is not working properly and the map pins are inconsistent.
Reports indicate the issue happens whenever they are near Redeploy Balloons, but others say the pings are inaccurate throughout the map and that the problem is not isolated to the location.
Players say they are unable to accurately ping enemy locations to their teammates, which is really a serious issue since communication is one of the core aspects of any multiplayer game.
Below are some reports from COD Warzone players complaining about inconsistent map pins and the ping system not working accurately.
Thankfully, Raven Software seems to be aware of the inconsistent map pins and ping not working issue around the Redeploy Balloons and said that they are working on a fix.
It looks like one of the upcoming updates will resolve the problem. However, they did not share any ETA on when it will be patched.
Until then, we will be tracking further developments on the matter and let you know when it is fixed. In the meantime, make sure you check out our COD bug tracker to see similar issues affecting players across various Call of Duty games.
