    @Envader_ I think that cod fans have some sort or stunted growth mentally. You people have no issue playing the same **** every year

    @HuntersHut1 @charlieINTEL It's popular to hate cod not matter what. Sad broken online people as always.

    @snickersigl There are lots of people who suck and blame it on their employment status hah. Obviously cheaters are a problem but it's not the main reason why someone has a 0.6 KD in Cod

    @CallofDuty Every year its all talk and hype and then it releases and new game same problems. It's almost like y'all aren't listening. Crossplay off is a must feature, health is too high, bullets are too weak. Most important zero tolerance for cheaters. That's why console lobbies are crucial

    @ModernWarzone In BO6, the problem is they didn’t even want to touch BO7 because the name along was awful. Genuinely I have a friend who saw the title and decided he was going to take a year off cod. It’s slop and that’s why it failed

    @hutchinson I’d like to believe the solution is a mixed bag of games for everybody, but I don’t think the worse players can stand losing even a little bit. Their intended solution is to make bad players’ games easier while putting up the better players against eachother who are never going to put CoD down anyway. I can only speak more myself, but I can say that BO7 was a breath of fresh air compared to every game in the last 6 years. I also work a 9-5 and get home and play CoD on weekends/weekdays, but I’m in the higher skill bracket that would not benefit from strict SBMM. I’ve reached the point where I just won’t bother and will leave CoD. I imagine a lot of other folks are like that as well. If they win casuals over and it works for them, so be it. But they had a perfect storm in 2019-2020 and have been chasing that ever since. It’s clear theyre going to keep see-sawing on the issue until something completely unrelated swings the players another way. They saw that a lenient SBMM won’t sell the game (BO7) and aren’t going down that route again. If it’s a piss-poor sweat fest like BO7 is today after the S4 update, then it’ll take a great DMZ experience to get me in there.

    @PUMAonCOD @CallofDuty Left side won’t go down so the company is sending my parts to fix it but it’s stuck in the standing mode😤 so I’m legit on a barstool to even try and play lol

  • BluFnxResists
    Scarlett_OHara_Carrera_Velocirapta (@BluFnxResists) reported

    @marykirst @ratcli39423 That’s a good idea. One thing we’d have trouble with is due to the ceilings being angled. It’s built like a cape cod. 10 foot ceilings in the center but angled lower on the sides.

    @CallofDuty "connection remains a top priority" - say that again but for north africa. i'm not even asking about skill based anything, i just want a lobby that isn't 90 ping. fix MENA servers and half your matchmaking complaints disappear over here

    @EstusFlask96 @Kingzsic @InfinityWard They have the time to add stuff like this but cant fix their games major issues that make them unplayable yet again. Fkn cod man, never learn

    @GameSpot …well Battlefield is a broken game and COD will have cheaters day one. It’s unfortunate

    @CallofDuty Any chance of sorting the massive lag issue on Warzone?

  • Swiphey
    OMiT Swiphey (@Swiphey) reported

    @Mensa__ How does my issue with people paying to be boosted stem from hackers? Just like any other game but mainly cod hackers are always going to exist in using it as an example. If my teammate was their actual rank hackers aren’t much of an issue. It is in fact boosters ruining wz rank

    @ratlobbers That's part of my issue with modern cod games. Everything sounds like a big wet diarrhea robot fart. Hit markers make that sound, impacts make that sound, moving makes that sound, explosions make that sound, gunfire makes that sound. Its all just crunchy

    You guys are just shadow banning good players at this point. I’ve had my account for over 10 years. Now out of no where got shadowed. How about fix your system and stop shadow banning good players that dedicate their time for your game. @Activision @RavenSoftware @CallofDuty

    They do not see the bigger picture Players are fed up with the game choices they have made that no match making change this late into its cod life cycle will fix years of frustration with SBMM No one’s playing more than 3 games because the games not enjoyable

  • ItsTwizee

    @CallofDuty What about Ranked hitreg getting worse? Season 5 is the worst in 16 years of CoD. In 8/10 matches my bullets vanish a full mag to kill vs dying in 2 hits, regardless of ping or FPS. Sick of unfair 1v1s. Higher tick rate? Less lag compensation? Do you finally have a real solution?

  • RDBTheTechGuy
    RDB The Tech Guy (@RDBTheTechGuy) reported

    @CallofDuty @InfinityWard All I want fixed is me loading into a game mid way through and facing absolute sweats. Was never an issue in any other CoD, just BO7

    @CallofDuty Are you going to fix your terrible shadow ban system this year?

  • jay53jay
    Angryjaygaming (@jay53jay) reported

    @CallofDuty The issue is if the more competitive player comes up against the same skill and cant get a streak they will quit, but puttinga lower skill player in that lobby and they will just push through till the end, just my thoughts

    @_Tom_Henderson_ CoD community are a bunch of meatballs. Keep whining about the same issues year after year. How about yall stop buying every yearly release?

    @CallofDuty What was the issue with having a dedicated standard moshpit that had SBMM and the quick play that didn't? That was a great way to handle it, if I wanted to play with less SBMM I would play quick play and would hop on the standard moshpit for more SBMM. You guys had it in the bag.

  • SweetSoulBr0tha
    Combo (@SweetSoulBr0tha) reported

    @CallofDuty Not every match has to be a good match that’s exactly the problem. You guys want everyone to have 1.0 k/d and win/loss ratios and that’s not fun. I don’t feel like I’m playing a game I feel like I’m part of some science experiment Normalize getting better at the game organically

    @nib95_ Playstation live service falling apart with generational damage and turns it into an Xbox bad post 🤷🫠 Who happens to have how many successful live service games now? Minecraft Overwatch ESO... WoW.. Diablo Sea of thieves COD 🤷

    GPT-Sol has been grinding on our open world map for over seven days now, all night, every night. Logic is the part it is genuinely good at. the rules and the state still hold after a week of it and it doesn't drift. 3D assets are where it stops. i ran a few variations of the same goal to check whether it was a prompting problem. it wasn't. the quality hits my eye the second the scene loads. The COD i built on claude code came out cleaner in one day. different scope, i know, but it isn't close. So we're taking the map back to claude and try it again.

    @CallofDuty What are the metrics for players getting obviously unfair matches? Thats still the main reason I dont play multiplayer,and both Open and this new trash did not fix that
