Warzone 2's New Map Has AI Enemies And Players Aren't Happy

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 just received its season 2 update bringing the new Ashika Island map. Warzone players are already praising the smaller, more intimate map for being much more chaotic and action-packed than Al Mazrah, but a new update has those same players up in arms.

Search & Seizure Contracts have arrived on Ashika Island, according to Raven Software. These contracts task you with tracking down Shadow Company mercenaries that have stolen vehicles all over Ashika Island. You're tasked with killing those mercenaries and recovering the vehicle, dropping it off at a designated location while avoiding airstrikes from the pissed-off mercs you just robbed.

Those Shadow Company mercs are bots, and they won't be the only ones. Raven Software confirmed that the upcoming Data Heist Public Event will also feature AI combatants, too.

Bots have always been present in Warzone, but they're generally in a limited capacity--filling out low-tier lobbies to give new players some easy kills, for example. Warzone 2.0 also has bots, and according to DotESports, you can tell when you've killed a bot as "your kills won’t increase on the top right-hand of your screen."

But bots have been relatively rare and hard to spot. The new Search & Seizure contracts feel a lot more like Fortnite, with guaranteed AI combatants standing between you and your prize. And if there's something Warzone players have been abundantly clear about from the beginning it's that they don't want Warzone to be like Fortnite, and that includes bots.

"I really dislike PvE being injected into PvP modes and likewise PvP being injected into PvE modes," one user wrote over on the Warzone subreddit. "The players who like one format, often don't like the other."

"We don't need AI on a tiny map," another user added. "No one was crying out for AI combatants in Rebirth Island so why the hard on to add them on Ashika?!" Other users agreed, with one saying, "This is ducking stupid. The island is PURE mayhem already (in a good way). I can’t imagine dealing with fucking AI."

We'll have to wait and see if Raven listens to player feedback regarding these new bots, but it seems like AI opponents are going to be more common for the foreseeable future.

Ousted Tennessee House Democrat Justin Jones speaks about 'unconstitutional' expulsion

"We broke House rules, but we were obedient to our oath," Justin Jones told ABC News. Former Tennessee state Rep. Justin Jones, the youngest of two Black lawmakers expelled from the Republican-controlled state House of Representatives, spoke out in a new interview with ABC News. Jones slammed Republicans for their partisan vote and described the unprecedented move as a "lynching of democracy." "I believe that this whole process has been unconstitutional ," Jones said, calling the GOP lawmakers out by name for what he believes was a racially motivated political attack. "There are crimes against democracy happening in Tennessee being led by House Speaker Cameron Sexton," Jones said. "They killed democracy in Tennessee…Their action was meant to intimidate. It was meant to humiliate, but what it did was put the state of Tennessee on trial for the world to see," he continued. Rep. Justin Pearson, Rep. Justin Jones, and Rep. Gloria Johnson le...

Erik ten Hag reveals two Man Utd injury boosts but one concern for Everton game

Image
Andre Onana and Luke Shaw are fit and available for Manchester United's trip to Everton on Sunday but doubts remain over Rasmus Hojlund. 27-year-old Onana picked up an injury while away on international duty with Cameroon, raising concerns that he may not be ready for United's visit to Goodison Park. But the summer signing from Inter was able to train as normal on Friday in a significant boost for Erik ten Hag, who will also welcome Shaw back into the fold after three months on the treatment table. Shaw's return is a huge boost for a United squad depleted by injuries to Jonny Evans, Lisandro Martinez, Tyrell Malacia, Christian Eriksen and Casemiro, while uncertainty remains over the fitness of Hojlund, who picked up a hamstring problem in the 1-0 win over Luton Town prior to the international break. "Andre is okay," Ten Hag told the media at his pre-match press conference. "He stepped in training today, he's good. Rasmus: still is a close finish. He...
