@frantumato @HighMoonStudios HMS is the 🐐!! My favorite Small Map back in the spotlight!

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

We saw feedback around players being placed in matches with others at significantly different ranks than expected.
We investigated the underlying issues affecting matchmaking & made adjustments to better align skill brackets. That climb to Top 250 should be a bit sweatier now!

[Call of Duty Esports @COD_Esports]

The 2026 Call of Duty: Warzone Esports program has seen the launch of the COD: Warzone Resurgence Series, and we’re excited by the competition that’s taken place in the first half of this new circuit.

But COD:WRS is only one part of our esports landscape, and we’d like to share some news on the World Series of Warzone. To focus on delivering the best inaugural COD:WRS season possible, WSOW will begin after the COD:WRS season concludes, and kick off in early 2027. Full qualification details will be shared in the coming months.

In the meantime, tune in to the rest of the COD:WRS season, including the Atlanta LAN next week where we’re improving the experience with an official Open Broadcast on Saturday, and an enhanced in-person spectator area. Our casters will also be there to bring you all of the action as we qualify another five teams for the COD:WRS Championship!

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

Two smaller changes I want to surface & celebrate!

1. Final Circle Behavior ❌💨- No more Utility Box / Ammo Depot interactions in gas at Final Circle, w/ more to come!

2. Tournament Viewer Experience📈- COD-Caster Global Killfeed fixed when spectating first-person POVs.

Truly unbelievable day of WRS Qualifiers.

- @ravenesport_ DOMINATE.
- @gentlemates SCRAPE through.
- @NOVOEsports make a STATEMENT.

And that's the tip of the iceberg.
God I love Warzone. 😭

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

It's a beautiful day for some Competitive Warzone! WRS EU Quali Finals soon, Lock in!!

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

@DandroCasts @BradLeDonne @frantumato We'll aim to be better around timing of these updates relative to major events or tournament days. We want to avoid disruption and ensure we are giving players time to understand the changes, while making sure we're able to continue deploying changes at a steady pace!

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

Shoutout @BradLeDonne continuing to bring the Meta changes mid-season and @frantumato bringing QOLs and other changes to improve the player experience.

Team is continuing to but an emphasis on continued updates throughout a season. More to come in Season 3 Reloaded!

Pretty awesome to already be seeing the insights like this from map rotation in the competitive scene!

[Andrew Campion @EnigmaCasts]

For the first time ever, competitive Warzone has map rotation.

Havens Hollow ↔ Rebirth Island every 2 maps.

Using @PullzeCheck Ladder data from the top 24 teams - here’s who this helps… and who it hurts 👇

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

@iamExpel @CallofDutyCM @RavenSoftware @CODUpdates 📝Consider these weekly challenge issues tracked, will work with the team to get some fixes for these!

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

@CallofDutyCM @Fifakill_ Yup! We've been watching the tournaments and following the conversation. Some of these things can take some time but we agree and want the best experience for you in Ranked Play. Keep letting us know regardless!

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

@Mrsknowitall Thanks for the callout, We'll take a look at that!

[Pullze Check @PullzeCheck]

Almond almost called game with the big brain play 🧠

Los Corillos Win...
One. More. Game 🚨

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

THAT WAS RIDICULOUS!

[Andrew Campion @EnigmaCasts]

Today's been insane.
6 drops in - no match point team yet.

@FalconsEsport, @TeamVitality, @TwisMinds and @DeusAmirr winning maps so far.

[Jason Rhode @IMJasonRhode]

Nearly 10 hours of Warzone comp and the best is yet to come with Finals tomorrow!
