What is a DDoS attack in Warzone Ranked and how does it impact gameplay?

A DDoS (Distributed Denial of Service) attack in Warzone Ranked is an attempt to overwhelm a player's internet connection with a flood of malicious traffic. This makes it difficult or impossible for the player to connect to the game, preventing them from playing or participating in ranked matches. The impact is a significant disruption to the ranked experience, potentially leading to lost progress and frustration.
