After a bug forced their removal, vehicles have returned to Call of Duty: Warzone

Nature is healing.

On September 6, Infinity Ward rolled out a playlist update that removed all vehicles from Call of Duty: Warzone in response to a bug that crashed the server and booted players back to the lobby if someone took a vehicle beyond the bounds of the map. A specific spot, a ravine on the eastern edge, would trigger the bug if someone drove to its end—even if they returned immediately afterwards.

For a quiet day or so, there were no helicopter death squads in the skies over Warzone, no newbies thinking they'd be able to run people over in a truck and then finding out that steering is hard.

But now a new playlist update has brought Warzone's vehicles back. It also cycles out Plunder: Blood Money and King Slayer Trios, while adding Plunder Trios. Which you'll be able to play while being murdered, once again, by people in helicopters.

In other Call of Duty news, a new operator has been announced. He's an Italian cowboy and his name is Morte.

Jody's first computer was a Commodore 64, so he remembers having to use a code wheel to play Pool of Radiance. A former music journalist who interviewed everyone from Giorgio Moroder to Trent Reznor, Jody also co-hosted Australia's first radio show about videogames, Zed Games. He's written for Rock Paper Shotgun, The Big Issue, GamesRadar, Zam, Glixel, Five Out of Ten Magazine, and Playboy.com, whose cheques with the bunny logo made for fun conversations at the bank. Jody's first article for PC Gamer was about the audio of Alien Isolation, published in 2015, and since then he's written about why Silent Hill belongs on PC, why Recettear: An Item Shop's Tale is the best fantasy shopkeeper tycoon game, and how weird Lost Ark can get. Jody edited PC Gamer Indie from 2017 to 2018, and he eventually lived up to his promise to play every Warhammer videogame.
