Whether its a brand-new map or the integration of new weaponry, Season 1 acts as a reset for the battle royale.

The ability to hear everything in your surroundings clearly makes all the difference, especially in Warzone where several players are battling to become the last one standing. Adjusting audio so soon after applying major changes to the game is also a promising sign. Raven Software is no stranger to acknowledging the feedback of the community and its great to see the developer act quickly in a bid to improve the experience for all. With further changes on the horizon, Warzones audio is only going to continue getting better. Audio wasnt the only thing addressed in Warzones November 18 update. The developer applied a nerf to the Stim Shot to stop it from issuing a six-second speed boost alongside its instant health regeneration. Now, the equipment only features a three-second boost resulting in many rethinking how aggressive they can be in close-quarters combat. Warzone has often struggled to strike a balance with its audio. The Modern Warfare 3 era managed to find a range where footsteps could be heard over other sounds, giving players the best possible chance to react to incoming threats. Theres still room for improvement but it could be a while until audio returns to its absolute best.
