Original Post:

Following the newest patch update for Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Call of Duty: Warzone, many players are reporting that there are issues with matchmaking.

Users are reporting that there is now an extended wait time to get in games, across any mode, after the newest patch update that released on April 28.

Players are reporting that the game starts with Searching matchmaking and keeps increasing ping threshold as it searches for a game, but continues to take extended times in order to find a proper game for users.

We’ve seen numerous people with this issue – across Twitter and Reddit, and we’ve also experienced this ourselves playing Warzone this week.
