  • Negimaa Kenjamin (@Negimaa) reported

    I saw the new COD Zombies was free. It's a hot mess of issues, best to skip until next year where they rehash it again.

    @InfinityWard @ATVIAssist Why reach out to @ATVIAssist? They have been ignoring Dev error 5573 for weeks...

  • D0nutTho D0nut (@D0nutTho) reported

    @ATVIAssist As I was saying in that last tweet, please help me as soon as possible. This issue has prolonged for quite awhile now and I would just like my accounts to be unlinked and relinked. I just want to play BOCW again. I tried to DM you but got no response.

  • theAlanLy Alan Ly (@theAlanLy) reported

    @CallofDuty Can you guys please fix the DEV ERROR? #CallofDuty #CallofDutyWarzone #Ps4

  • sam52009262 sam (@sam52009262) reported

    @ATVIAssist how can we resolve this issue? Can you adjust my KD back so that the kill doesn’t count? Can you refund me the money I’ve spent on Cold War and modern warfare? I look forward to hearing back from you.

  • StruthersBrock Brock Struthers (@StruthersBrock) reported

    @CallofDuty @Activision fix the ******* loadout glitch

  • xhawkeyex7889 Hawkeye (@xhawkeyex7889) reported

    @InfinityWard No fix on the cheating yet or using the tracker for lower base lobbies huh ????

  • Negimaa Kenjamin (@Negimaa) reported

    I saw the new COD Zombies was free for the weekend. At first glance, it's a hot mess of issues, best to skip until next year where Activision will rehash it again. (I'm not trying to be mean, but this is a $60-90 game and it is pretty awful)

  • xfurboi Kinky Christmas Bun (@xfurboi) reported

    @ATVIAssist PLEASE FIX THE HACKERS IN WARZONE!!!!

  • Jemma333 Jemma xx (@Jemma333) reported

    @ATVIAssist serious issue and complaint!! Please PM me back ASAP!!

  • Mike__2192 Mike W (@Mike__2192) reported

    @ATVIAssist I've got to say your customer service is awful. I've patiently waited for you to spend and recover my account but I've been completely disregarded. Can someone give me an update?!

  • Rumfield_ Rumfield (@Rumfield_) reported

    wow @CallofDuty @Activision wtf is DEV ERROR??? code is 6635

  • REYNOLDS913KC Reynolds KC (@REYNOLDS913KC) reported

    @ATVIAssist Of course I tried that hours ago. All the games from PS Plus Collection are not letting me have access, which is fine with me since I'm on PS4 but this game I have been playing for years and should not have this issue since I owned the game and DLCs long before it was part of it.

  • mxc_47 Lucas (@mxc_47) reported

    @ATVIAssist when are you gonna fix the street sweeper? I have 500 kills and still on level one for that gun

  • putoknox celo (@putoknox) reported

    @CallofDuty fix the goddamn load out bug, the screen freezes when you open it and it’s so annoying

  • wavvybeats Wavvy (@wavvybeats) reported

  • LoySd1 Loy Sd (@LoySd1) reported

    @PlayCODMobile I am facing problem in cod mobile season 13 on battle royale and ranked matches blank screen problem

  • Adrianbeckett10 Adrian beckett (@Adrianbeckett10) reported

    @InfinityWard @ATVIAssist This anything to do with Dev Error 5573? Or are those players just being ignored still?

  • D0nutTho D0nut (@D0nutTho) reported

    @ATVIAssist Hello activision support. I have been trying to get into contact with one of your agents for quite awhile now but have received no response. I understand that you may be busy rught now and that is perfectly okay. But my issue has prolonged for almost a month now.

  • _MsirhC21 :p🇭🇳 (@_MsirhC21) reported

    Cod is broken

  • Adrianbeckett10 Adrian beckett (@Adrianbeckett10) reported

    @ATVIAssist Shame this didn’t fix Dev error 5573 error, you working on that issue now or not?

  • _Steve_B_ Stevo (@_Steve_B_) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Activision @CallofDuty Player count keeps dropping as your game is broken. Why else would you keep giving free access? About time you offered refunds like Cyberpunk. Allowing so many cheats is a joke.

  • JosephP27378607 Joseph Perkins (@JosephP27378607) reported

    @ATVIAssist Why are you guys not acknowledging the dev error 6635 happening to people on the Series X? It's making the game unplayable.

  • JosephP27378607 Joseph Perkins (@JosephP27378607) reported

    @ATVI_AB @Activision @CallofDuty Any Plans to fix the Dev error 6635 that is freezing and backing people out of Warzone matches on Series X consoles?

  • GURBINN GURBIN (@GURBINN) reported
