A newCall of Duty: Warzone 2clip shows that poor sportsmanship sometimes elicits instant karma in the online shooter, with one player receiving swift retribution after gloating over what they thought was a clean kill. Infinity Ward and Raven Software’s free-to-play shooter quickly became popular with many battle royale fans when it launched in late 2022, but recent data shows thatWarzone 2’s player count has droppedsignificantly in the months since the game’s release.
A follow-up to theCall of Dutyfranchise’s first foray into the battle royale genre,Call of Duty: Warzone 2introduced the seaside setting of Al Mazrah and numerous new gameplay features to the series. Although some new additions to the game were welcomed by players, such as the survival-based DMZ mode that throws AI-controlled bots into the mix, other gameplay changes have proven to be decidedly less popular with franchise fans. In addition to complaints about the move to a 2v2 format for Gulag fights and the game’s decreased time-to-kill, players have also voiced their displeasure about the numerousbugs inWarzone 2.

In a new video shared on the r/CODWarzone subreddit, one player showed off a humorous example of why it is never a good idea to gloat inCall of Duty: Warzone 2. Parachuting onto the battlefield, Redditor falconpunchpro barely gets their feet on the ground before being shot down from behind by another player. As they lay on the ground bleeding out, the mischievous marksman hops onto a nearby rock and begins squatting up and down, apparently not noticing the self-revive in falconpunchpro’s hand. Springing to their feet after the speedy self-revive, falconpunchpro quickly pulls out one ofWarzone 2’s sniper riflesand eliminates their assailant at point-blank range before inadvertently stumbling backward off a cliff to their hilariously untimely demise.
Redditors responding to the clip were amused at the unexpected turn of events on display, with several comments laughing at the twist ending. Complimenting falconpunchpro on their ability to get out of atight spot inWarzone 2, one commenter stated that the speedy sniper shot was “the quickest quickscope” that they’d ever seen. Several other responses noted that the enemy player may have been trying to illicitly team up in the ostensibly solo shooter, rather than trying to gloat, leading falconpunchpro to respond, “He got what he deserved then.”
Whether a failed try for a team-up or gloating gone wrong, it’s a safe bet that the player on the other end of falconpunchpro’s rifle will think twice before squatting near a kill again. And for otherWarzone 2players, the video is a helpful reminder to show a bit of in-game humility lest they end up the victim of an unexpected quickscope.
