  @ModernWarzone The root of the problem is SBMM babysitting causal players they never played against tryhards or ranked players or CDL pros. In the past (prior modern SBMM) terrible COD players became a good players because there wasn’t SBMM babysitting OG players and they got better overtime.

  @CallofDuty Day 1 of the closed beta nearly had none of these issues, once sbmm seemed applied and IW meddled in the background it was the same old issues with the servers and which are likely gonna continue into the full release

  @InfinityWard Warzone is borderline unplayable on Switch 2. Multiplayer is perfectly fine for the system. But Warzone is still a massive issue from my many hours of testing. Leaving the PS4 behind in a year where GTA is competing for your customers, was a massive mistake.

  @IntCyberDigest I remember CoD Warzone randomly crashing all the time and I thought it was my GPU. Grok identified Memory Integrity as a possible culprit, and recommended disabling it. Problem never reoccurred.

  I guess that you guys are having connection problems, because I was playing BO7 and was kicked out of the match and was trying to connect to the online servers. @ATVIAssist

  @CODPersonal Your study is useful for what it measured. Classic built tighter, more predictable scoreboards. Open was more mixed. Queue time and ping were a wash in your 50. Team gap was basically the same. Half the matches on both systems still ended short-handed. That last part is why this cannot be the whole story. Score spread tells you how the lobby finished. It does not tell you whether the fight you saw was the fight the server played. Dedicated-server CoD still predicts and interpolates on the client. When packets lag or a replicated object is late, you get doors that are open on one machine and closed on another, peeks that look stolen, and deaths that feel delayed. This old clip is that problem in plain sight — not “SBMM set the server to 100ms,” but the game filling in a guess until the real state arrives: Your 23ms average in Phoenix on fiber is a good connection window. It does not measure peek advantage, rollback, or whether Classic’s tighter skill pool is buying those lobbies with longer routes for other brackets. You already said you cannot speak for the high-skill people who call pubs ranked. Netcode feel is the same kind of gap: your table cannot see it. So the clean join is: • Your data: Classic is tighter. • The clip: tighter/outcome metrics are not the same as honest gunfights. • Both systems: quits still gutted half the games. Commit to one system, publish how much ping vs skill is actually weighted, and stop treating scoreboard tightness as proof the middle enjoyed the fight. Players do not rage about a 37% spread. They rage when the door was never open.

  @Bravo6Intel Hit reg / net code was atrocious. That was the worst part for me. Good thing is that CoD usually doesn't have those issues on release.

  @InfinityWard With horrible Server desync (where I only saw 1 maybe 2 bullets from an enemy most lobbies before instant death like playing hardcore) bad recoil and bad hit detection go hand in hand to ruin gameplay. Already suffering from server issues, and bad weapons (not even enemies)

  @neonepiphany Hey, i’ve got a big issue with COD cold war licensing, i have the xbox one disc, paid for the xbox next gen upgrade, but it does not work at all ons series x. Any way your teams could investigate?

  also one of my 2xp code on the monster website seem to have been generated incorrectly making it unusable on the cod redeem website (I think the error is it generating with 3 chars before the first - instead of 4)

  My take on MW4 beta after a day and 10 hours of gameplay @Activision @InfinityWard : First off , I wasn’t expecting this. The game is really enjoyable. Movement feels great, gunplay is fluid and fast, and quickscoping feels incredibly satisfying. That said, there are a few things I’d REALLY love to see changed before release : - SBMM We gotta remain realistic: SBMM is here to stay. I’m fine with that. But the current version of it is WAY too strict. SBMM should be loosened by a lot. A less strict system would still protect newer players while giving everyone more variety in their matches. Right now, it feels like every game is a CDL lobby. - TTK The TTK itself is fine to me. I don’t think we need to drastically increase or decrease it. The REAL problem is how damage is distributed across the body. Currently, outside of headshots, basically everything from your toes to your torso does the same damage. That’s the part I’d change. I’d love to see separate damage multipliers for: • Head • Torso • Legs This would reward players for actually having good aim while keeping the overall TTK in a healthy place. Right now, hitting someone in the toes vs. the chest doesn’t give you enough of a reason to prioritize better shots. - Aim Assist Aim assist is too sticky right now. I’m not saying it needs to disappear. Controller players should absolutely have aim assist. But it needs to be less aggressive and less sticky. Good controller players will still be good without aim assist basically locking onto every movement. - High Zoom Scopes There’s an issue with scopes above 4x that needs to be fixed. The reticle/scope aren't properly centered, which can make your aim feel inconsistent when using higher magnification optics. This has been an issue in previous CODs too, and it was eventually fixed. - Maps The maps are not bad , but they are all meh. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the maps we haven't been able to test will be good when the game is officially released. Overall, I’m genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this beta , its not perfect, but @InfinityWard seems to be listening a lot, there was a major difference between the first and second weekend. There’s a promising game here.

  “One more CoD will fix CoD.” The Activision equivalent of adding one more lane to fix traffic.

  @raratoman SBMM killed Warzone. It all goes back to SBMM. @CallofDuty keeps trying to balance the game for low skilled players(ex:MW4 slow movement, fast ttk) and higher skilled players(ex:BO6 fast paced, slower ttk) when in reality, they’re just putting players in the wrong rooms/lobbies. Omnimivemnet, wall bouncing, grapples, fast ttk… all that stuff wouldn’t be an issue for casual players if they were in casual lobbies instead of getting farmed by some ticktock streamer who sweats his ***** off on COD 12 hours a day.

  @ModernWarzone The good part is. He is a known pro so will be get unbanned by activision. The bad part is. If its an unknown legit good gamer they are in a problem because noone will believe them and stay perma (hardware) banned. Better stay away from cod if this is true and you are good

  @Capt_Price_141 @Davidplaysx89 @Fifakill_ There is only 1 data center for COD in England and it in London. If your not far from it then it is a problem on your end. Poor ISP? DNS? Crappy Router? port forwarding? You may need FTTP? You may have check this but i got 12 ping and i am well over 300 miles away
