Call of Duty is accused of presenting false OG Verdansk records in Warzone

The report by @HeyImAlaix claims that Call of Duty has been misleading fans with their OG Verdansk records in Warzone.

For those unaware, Call of Duty is running an online social media campaign on X to celebrate Warzone's 5th Anniversary. Upon replying to their post with the stated keywords, COD sends the user a personalized in-game record of their playtime in Verdansk along with stats such as total hours played, longest eliminations, or the most eliminations in a match.

However, @HeyImAlaix claims that isn't the case and COD is being dishonest about all the stats that are being disclosed. Instead, they are sharing data that was collected in the recent iterations of the game and not the original title.

An X user, @MDKNZ1, also shared their experience with the inaccurate records. According to them, they had over 300 wins in the original game. However, when they participated in the recent Call of Duty social media campaign, it reported only 89 wins for their ID.
