A sudden dive from top-ranking mobile Call of Duty (COD) gameplay to the deep end of Warzone’s vast battlefield, a gamer identified as “krylin_kiz” narrates their struggle in a universal_embed url=”https://www.reddit.com/r/Warzone/comments/18k8vii/im_a_noob_being_wrongly_matched_with_pros/. Our protagonist, a self-proclaimed noob, decided to use their top-ranked mobile gaming ID but ended up realizing they dove in head first into a shark-infested pool: get greeted by, by their words, “being killed” before setting foot in the battlefield.
Matchmaking Woes
This anecdote perfectly illustrates the trials and tribulations that fresh gamers experience when entering a new gaming arena populated by seasoned veterans. Players with previous experience on different platforms may expect similar gameplay, but soon realize a rude awakening waiting for them in the more complex Warzone.
As per Redditor BadZMaru22 aptly states, ‘COD on a PC/Console plays differently than mobile. Different platform, different style of gameplay/movement.’
Console vs Mobile Gaming: Apples to Oranges
The user, “BadZMaru22’s” comment sheds light on an important distinction between gaming platforms. It’s not just about hitting the right buttons, but also mastering different strategies and styles of gameplay.
This sentiment is echoed by another user, killeverydog, who illustrates the dedication required, sharing, ‘It took me 600 hours to get good enough to have a kd of 1.’ Therefore, the game demands a commitment of time and effort from new entrants to navigate, let alone dominate, the landscape of Warzone.
The Path Forward
While the matchmaking might seem unfair to new gamers, this is a classic example of ‘trial by fire’ making one stronger. It’s a steep learning curve. But, as noted by both users by way of tough love, perseverance is key. While there isn’t a shortcut to being a Warzone pro, getting ‘downed’ by veterans is ironically, the gateway to ‘gitting gud’.
In a fun, love-to-hate type of way, krylin_kiz’s story resonates with the majority of gamers’ experiences when they first set foot in the harsh, kill-or-be-killed world of Warzone. The beauty of it? The enormous sense of accomplishment when one finally ‘gets gud’ and starts dishing out the damage as expertly as they once received it. So fellow ‘noobs’, there’s light at the end of that respawn tunnel!
