While one corner of the Activision Call of Duty empire is busy chasing down leaks for Warzone, another is frantically tapping away at keyboards trying to sort of a peculiar bug. Infinity Ward have noticed that XP is not being awarded after players complete multiplayer matches.
The bug was spotted yesterday but has not been squashed, Infinity Ward are still had at work on a fix.
Update: We’re still investigating and working on a fix for this issue. We’ll keep you updated and thank you again for your patience. https://t.co/JcEz6Mgf90

Scamps on the internet have modified some of the official Call of Duty to reflect the new ‘mode’.
Infinity Ward has the opposite problem last week when the Giant Infection game mode was dishing out too much XP. A playlist update has rushed out to remove the mode until the issue had been fixed.

It has also been annpunced that Jason Blundell, the co-head of Call of Duty developer Treyarch, has departed the company after thirteen years. Where he’s heading next isn’t know, but it’s the end of an era for fans of the series’ Zombies game mode.
It seems to be a happy departure, for Blundell, who’s been a part of the team since becoming a producer on Call of Duty 3. He is, however, best known for his work on the co-op Zombies game mode. He headed up both Zombies and the main story in Black Ops 3, helped revive the entire Zombies saga in the Zombies Chronicles expansion, and continued to lead the Zombies mode for Black Ops 4.
The question might be what’s next for Zombies, but it’s also what’s next for Call of Duty as a whole? We’re yet to see the announcement of this year’s Call of Duty and how they’ll follow on from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, but insider sources have suggested that Activision have drafted Treyarch in to lead Call of Duty 2020’s development.
This would be a surprise on several levels, as this generation had seen Infinity Ward, Treyarch and Sledgehammer taking turns on a three year development cycle. Additionally, the development of Black Ops 4 was not particularly smooth. It saw the series forego a single player campaign for the first time, allegedly scrapping the extensive work that had already been done on this, and had them embracing the battle royale genre. That worked very well, with the game selling like hotcakes, but the various monetisation methods that crept into the game angered fans.
