Despite Call of Duty: Warzone boasting millions of players and a significant following for such a recent addition to the battle royale scene, the popular standalone spinoff has acquired a number of detractors since its launch last month. Many have called the game's glitches and overpowered vehicles out for making the game feel unbalanced, while others have commented on the overabundance of hackers currently filling matches.
Although many of the players commenting on these issues are fans, it seems a number of streamers have also voiced their issues with the game, with the likes of Ninja and Shroud commenting on aspects of the popular battle royale that should be changed. Another popular online figure that has aimed criticisms towards the title is, of course, Dr DisRespect, who only recently claimed that the game's audio design was flat out terrible. It seems the Doc has a lot more to say about fixes for Warzone, however, and none are particularly positive.
Speaking to his stream and listing a number of changes he believes Warzone should make, Dr DisRespect took particular aim at the game's inclusion of explosives and certain vehicles, claiming that they left the game completely unbalanced. "Get rid of claymores, RPGs, C4s, and trucks and guess what," the Doc asked his chat, "The game would be so much [more] skillful, don't you think?" The popular streaming personality definitely has a point as well, with many players claiming that one of the game's biggest issues is the variety of ways players can kill you through cheap tactics.

While other titles in the genre place the emphasis on skill - seeing players using a variety of mechanics to get the drop on opponents - Warzone has been accused of being somewhat unfair in comparison. Case in point, the community's recent petition to ban vehicles as they give unfair advantages, such as one-hit kills and the ability to scope the entire map with a 360-degree camera. With players like the Doc clearly looking for a more skill-based experience, it's evident that his changes could dramatically alter how Warzone is perceived by its detractors.
Regardless, the Doc has been far from quiet about his thoughts on Call of Duty: Warzone in recent weeks. Not only has the popular Twitch mainstay had some choice words for the game's audio design and self-revive feature, but he's also been very vocal on its problem with hackers too. Hopefully, his words of advice will be taken on board by Activision as it continues to expand and flesh out the game.
Call of Duty: Warzone is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
