Warzone’s Removed Double XP Tokens Are Now Back In The Game

Raven Software is returning Call of Duty: Modern Warfare's double XP tokens to players in Call of Duty: Warzone. This reverses one of the least popular changes that was wrought in Activision's free to play battle royale following its first season of integration with Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. This first season treated both games to a brand new playable operator in the form of the sinister ex-KGB agent Stitch, as well as two new firearms for players to unlock and wreak havoc with in multiplayer.

Unfortunately, the changes weren't all positive. Players who booted up the new season in Warzone were dismayed to find that they had lost access to all the double XP tokens they'd been stockpiling back when Modern Warfare was active. It was soon revealed that these tokens had not been removed; they were just no longer usable in Warzone, and were relegated strictly to Modern Warfare. This outraged players; after all, Modern Warfare and Warzone are technically the same game, at least on paper, and it doesn't make sense to restrict content just because a third game is getting involved. Worse, several players got their tokens through subscriptions and microtransactions, meaning they had actually spent money on content that was now being denied to them.

The complaints from upset players seem to have reached the developers' ears. Earlier today Raven Software's Twitter account announced a brand new Warzone patch. A lot of bugs are addressed in this patch, including, amusingly enough, the obfuscation of a Weapon Challenge that shouldn't have been available yet. But the main attraction is the reintegration of double XP tokens from Modern Warfare. Specifically, Modern Warfare tokens earned before season one of Black Ops Cold War are available for both Warzone and Modern Warfare. Tokens earned after the new season started will only be usable in Warzone and Black Ops Cold War, not in Modern Warfare. Players in Warzone can track all the double XP tokens they have across the roster of Call of Duty games, though legacy tokens from Modern Warfare will be consumed first.

It's good to see the developers listening to feedback and working to improve the Warzone experience. There's certainly plenty of work to be done, too, because the absence of double XP tokens wasn't the only problem afflicting Warzone following the launch of the new season. Players also reported a glitch that could turn them completely invisible which, understandably enough, gives someone a major advantage in a competitive multiplayer game like this. In order to resolve this glitch, Activision removed helicopters entirely, though one hopes this is just a temporary solution.

Activision is definitely doing the right thing by responding to these complaints, though. An ongoing online game like Call of Duty: Warzone needs a good relationship with its audience in order to succeed, and frankly, the fans have had a lot of reasons recently to be upset with the battle royale. Glitches abound in the game; they seem to be cropping up faster than Activision can patch them out. But as hard as the team is working on glitches, it's good to know that it's living up to its own mistakes too, and making Call of Duty: Warzone a better game for everyone.
