  @CallofDuty @CODLeague Well, Call of Duty has cheaters who haven't been dealt with. Similarly, the possibility of match-fixing is a frequent topic of debate across most sports. Cheating remains the common issue.

  never trust a man that sees upwards of £20 on OF not a problem but won’t spend that kind of money on necessities or anything in his REAL life (: sad mf’s. same people that spend £40 so they can have a blue gun on CoD. grow up.

  A lot of content updates for games seem to barely move the needle for fans these days, do people care if another map is added to bf6? Another gun for COD? A lot of leadership seems so out of square of how to keep live service fresh (HINT, MOBAS have been doing this the best)

  @knaz_v @frostyrl_ No, that is not the main issue here. Cod has done this before, fortnite has done this before & i am sure other games with similar systems. The main issue is that they’ll likely & will **** something up and disappoint everyone. If they dont, cook, if they do. What is the point.

  FABLE 5 ONE-SHOT A CALL OF DUTY ZOMBIES CLONE FROM A SINGLE LAZY PROMPT No planning mode. No back-and-forth. No hours of prompting Claude. Just one sentence: "Make me a COD Zombies clone, single-player, and make the shooting feel good." And Fable 5 shipped a playable game. What came back: a fully playable FPS in the browser surprisingly satisfying movement and gunplay most features worked on the first try built entirely with Three.js no game engine no assets no elaborate spec document A few months ago, building something like this meant days of work. Now it's a one-line prompt. The distance between "I have an idea" and "I'm playing it" is collapsing fast. We're entering an era where vibe-coding an entire game is becoming a one-sentence problem.

  @The_NitroCrate Maybe not annual. I love Crash but 2 year gaps is better. Don’t wanna see my boi be a CoD/AC slop

  @the_clay_bird @KeshavBhat I feel like the issue was they didnt look at who already had Gamepass and who also played COD. It saved me money cause I already owned Gamepass.

  @SASxSH4DOWZ add verticality, ... I only heard things right now that sound like they are aiming for a generic standard experience many know already from CoD, Fortnite, Overwatch, ... And that's the problem, there are already enough games of that kind to choose from. There is no one waiting

  @ATVIAssist @ATVIAssist your website is clearly working as I can still submit case tickets of any other option. But the moment I try to click send on the ban appeal it gives me the same error message screenshotted above without fail. 2/2

  @BrokenGamezHDR_ Nah sorry Destin, but ABK is a problem. I’d rather they had invested that money into their own studios instead of getting CoD.

  Nobody knows anything about what's going on at Xbox. Plenty love to speculate their death is imminent. I see open talks of what the plans are, and plenty of FUD. Let's see how this goes. I think they'll get rid of the problems and change all 1st party to exclusive, but not CoD.

  The top cheat devs are nearing almost a billion dollars a year in combined business. A single 'dev' has cheats for nearly every game out there when you trace it all the way to the top. The outfits that make cheats for CoD, make them for Tarkov, PUBG, Helldivers, BF6... Legit 100s of games in their list. The vast majority of these 'small devs' aren't even actual devs either. The big cheat outfits have discovered multi level marketing. They operate exactly like Marry Kay, or Isagenix, or ******* Dotera. It was actually humorous the more I dug into it on the Tarkov side. Edgy kids that are chasing clout get to claim they are hackers and developing cheats, but they are just shoveling out reskinned versions of the same cheat through their own discords. The really big ones are tied directly to organized crime... There were a few stories out of China in 2023 where the police raided some outfits for financial and identity crimes and because of the systems seized it shut down one of the largest cheat developers in the world for nearly 2 weeks. Cheats are a funnel to stolen account data and access to PCs for bot networks. Funny side story. That outage showed me a few people in my inner circles that were using cheats, and outed quite a few streamers too.

  This is what I think most of the folks should be doing who can afford the subscription to the latest models ! Instead of creating the clones of Minecraft, COD, etc. Use it's intelligence wisely ! They should point it to the unsolved problems and see if the models can solve them within 5 prompts ! or track their current vs the next progress That is what actually going to tell us more about intelligence rather than making silly clones and wasting all the tokens !

  @ShadowMakarov COD Ghosts 💯 I would've said MW2 but that game was too broken and had too many hackers to enjoy fully

  Why were they even put on CoD to begin with. Genuinely, what is Activision’s problem.

  @MLBTheShow lol instead of punishing people for this fix your game breaking bugs and your slow menus that make me restart the game every 20 minutes. This game is so bad it made me get back into playing CoD

  @Limbosera @jacobnewtron And ur point abt competitive and cheaters, bro no one ever said that cod hasn’t got a cheating problem, every valid player, pro, casual and content creator with a brain (not u ofc) know this like its very blatantly clear from these false bans, like that only is proof

  @JackrSpinella Game Pass doesn’t work. They literally had to take Call of Duty off of it because it didn’t drive people to the service and it cost them millions of full price purchases. If CoD can’t draw people to Game Pass, what will?

  @flipkartsupport Issue hasn't been resolved. People needs to think twice before ordering any high value items from @Flipkart, that too with prior payment. Mine is a COD and I don't care if you deliver or not. You have crossed all the limits of unprofessionalism.

  @rpwbrowne I don't think it's the ONLY US model that makes sense. I mean, a reasonable team of developers, with proper cost controls can still be a team in a business. That said, I think for a lot of US-based video game companies, co-dev on outsource needs to become a bigger part of the business and base cost needs to come out. Spread the risk around, make sure it's not 100% on the company. The CoD issue is sort of unique, just like CoD. The CoD teams at ABK are basically experts at making that game. They'll be making CoD until the business model falls apart. The same can probably be said about Rockstar and their games. However, those two examples are not "everyone else." As for CA, it's an example of a high cost base. Saber's Tim Willits talked about using global studios because it's just a better deal in terms of inputs and outputs.

  @djkkyle Yikes, all of that and nobody bought them. They just rented them, played 1hr and went to playing Minecraft or COD. 75% of them on a wonderful series S with less power… the # of financial problems GP has brought the company are more than the games they’ve made in 6yrs.

  @Taiyoken308 @32nds Yea, AI’s been a problem since October. If you pointed this out, you had an army of idiots screeching at you that it’s reach’s AI and that somehow makes this acceptable. Remember when the elites would duck, dive, roll out of your way? They’re standing there like COD fodder.
