A Warzone 2 player noticed a bug that suggested a Combat Record and Leaderboards were imminent, and this has turned out to be the case after the devs confirmed it.
Since Warzone 2 launched, players have been waiting patiently to be able to view their stats in the game, especially after they were added to Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer.
Leaderboards were expected to come much earlier than now, having been delayed until the end of 2022. Some players even argue that it should have been available at launch for players to start tracking their stats immediately.
In short, it’s been a huge point of contention in recent months as players keep grinding out wins and high-kill games, but with no way to keep track of their progress and overall stats.
Now, after a bugged menu glitch appeared to reveal the presence of both a Combat Record and Leaderboards, the devs went ahead and made this official with a confirmation tweet.
“Someone from my game sent this to me and said he game bugged for a minute and he got to see BR stats and leaderboards,” said Warzone pro Reidboy, alongside a screenshot of the Combat Record page.

It was featured right alongside the Multiplayer stats tab, and said the player had to “play 5 games to unlock.” It also didn’t actually feature any specific stats for the player.
Some took this to mean that Combat Record and Leaderboards would be arriving in Season 2, though there had been no confirmation from the devs at the time of writing.
However, things have changed, and the official Call of Duty Twitter account informed players that the long-awaited features are finally dropping.
This does mean that players will finally be losing progress of their accomplishments recorded to date, but Season 2 will represent a fresh start for all players to start racking up wins and making their KD look flashy.
