The armor broken UI indicator a recent Warzone 2 update was introduced to better inform players however the majority of fans want it removed. For overwhelming players with text cues in a game as franticly fast-paced as Warzone 2 can be detrimental rather than helpful.

The much-awaited season 2 update for Warzone 2 was finally released on February 15 after a slight delay. The new Ashika map playable in DMZ and the return of the popular Resurgence mode a scaled-down more intense version of the classic battle royal are among the many additions. With Ashika Castle the island's crown treasure waiting in the center to be held or besieged the island map focuses the battle into strategically important locations.

While the additions have been positively received by fans there are still a number of problems that have not been resolved as well as a few new ones that resulted from the season 2 update. A new text indicator for breaking an opponent's armor is one improvement to Warzone 2's user interface that debuted with season 2 and has since sparked debate.

Players in the heat of combat who can only spare a glance at the UI while handing out and dodging gunfire are becoming confused by the addition of this feature because it is the same size and font as a rival's downed text indicator. Fatboyslick expressed their dissatisfaction with the new system on Reddit where it was almost universally agreed upon.

The majority's view is that the updated syntax is at best unnecessary and at worst can lead to a player's death when they mistakenly believe they have down a player when in fact it was only an armor break or vice versa. Regarding this matter Infinity Ward has not provided an official statement.

The arrival of Warzone 2's second season is cause for celebration yet some fans' frustration is understandable. Some believe that Infinity Ward's priorities for Warzone 2 are flawed since they are overly focused on the game's aesthetics. Some people think that the game's balance philosophy is being negatively impacted by the experimental DMZ mode.

Despite all of this there is still a sense of optimism because Ashika Island and the revival game mode have received positive reviews and because Warzone 2 is still early in its development cycle giving supporters hope that Infinity Ward will eventually resolve the majority of the flaws.

Even though Warzone 2's design may have degraded in some areas the end result is still a significantly enhanced and iterated version of the game that it was at launch. Fans may have been irritated by the season 2 delay but Warzone 2 has a bright future as long as Infinity Ward gets back on track and responds to the feedback promptly.
