In an amusing turn of events, Infinity Ward is doubling back on certain changes from the latest update. The developers had brought in some significant changes to Call of Duty Warzone and Modern Warfare just a day back. One of the biggest changes was replacing the Bounty Contracts from Warzone with Most Wanted contracts. However, they have now reverted back to the Bounty Contracts.
As we reported right after the latest update, fans were livid when Infinity Ward removed the popular feature of Bounty Contracts. Instead, they introduced a new type of contract called Most Wanted in Battle Royale and Plunder. With Most Wanted, players could place a contact on their own head, making them the target for every other player on the map. If players survived the contract duration, they could successfully revive their entire squad.

@InfinityWard Hello,
Please add bounties back. Literally zero people asked for them to be removed.
Thanks,

They completely removed bounties? I thought they were super well balanced. The team being hunted has ample time to post up in a building or roof and defend themselves until time runs out, also knowing how close the threat is. High risk High reward for players hunting. https://t.co/RHRpZiQp2B

While Warzone has been a massive success since its release in March, developers have had to work hard to keep the user base satisfied. One huge problem that remains is the huge number of hackers troubling honest games in the shooter.
What are your thoughts on the Most Wanted contract episode? Glad the developers decided to bring back Bounty Contracts?
