  I’m not sure if it’s a bug or intended but when you play with your friends on COD multiplayer it’s not allowing the party to vote on maps seems like the voting is only working for solos who get queued with parties but for some reason the party votes not working it won’t even let you toggle over to the map selections I’ve encountered this multiple times while playing with friends

  @NerosCinema @JustPain889 I agree with that. Considering it’s ps5 servers only I wouldn’t hate the FoV slider, I just don’t plan on playing any other cod so once I adjust I won’t have a problem.

  @HeyImAlaix CoD is full of inadequate people overcompensating. This has always been the case but the introduction of Casuals really exposes how deep that problem is when people behave like that towards a lobby of mostly bots and people trying to escape them

  @DeshaunFlyy @tdawgsmitty use your brain, if the most recent release of @CallofDuty is filled with wall hackers, aim bot, AI cheats, cronus zen etc etc.... on PS5, XBOX AND PC, you will be dealing with the exact same issue.

  4. EXCLUSIVITY TALK (PART 1): Xbox-Original single-player franchises (Halo, Forza, Gears, Fable) stay exclusive while Xbox-acquired franchises and multiplayer games (Elder Scrolls, COD, Minecraft, Sea of Thieves, Crash) remain multi-platform. Don't care. Talk to the wall. (4/?)

  @DeekeTweak Let’s be honest. Xbox’s biggest focus has been finding content for game pass, not “how do we sell games” or “how can we increase revenues from game pass”. That’s very apparent. First step towards fixing that in 9 years was when they pulled CoD from the service.

  @Bys_64 @ShitpostRock2 There’s nothing wrong with skill based matchmaking. The issue comes from the way COD implements it. Where they use SBMM to manipulate your retention, and when they don’t give you a choice in the matter. Also they hide your skill ranking

  @andyricflair @SpeedGod_CDN @Shpeshal_Nick Brother Cod getting pulled out is the proof of that. Big games being on the service hurts them. I know it's the hook but at the same time I feel like all the big games will get pulled like cod. Small games or third-party games would probably benefit from game pass tho.

  @CedarPosts Well, Harris Teeter being bought by Kroger out of Cincinnati is the source of the problem. Lance ( HQ’d in Charlotte) merged with Cape Cod about a decade ago.

  @CallofDuty @Activision So now hackers have a mass report tool and are getting legit players banned that have never even received a chat ban in over 15 years ? Fix this !

  @thicc_stick_boi No longer a Sony fan here but Sony at least has some success with their games recently, occasionally. Xbox? Not really... What was the last one besides the oblivion remake and forza that did well for them? Live service ones like CoD and sea of thieves? I'm not sure

  No ****, but whats the problem with the backwards compatibility versions? Locked to 720p. Hackers all over the place. Had my account stolen and reset on BO2. BO2 servers barely work and when they do its empty. Xbox 360 P2P servers. COD TV which a video to get a mod menu. Input delay.

  Lyxier (@LyxierXD) reported 37 minutes ago

  @FaZeScope My problem with this is, plutonium and the other cod clients exist on pc, almost entirely hacker free, these are ports from xbox 360 and ps3. They should just remaster the games bc they will release them with underline issues that is impossible to fix bc of the engine.

  PlatinumMidge (@MidgeGames82) reported 40 minutes ago

  @OrionLupus @unknown152022 @The_One_Boom There’s virtually no input lag on the native 360 games… the emulation is what causes that, it also causes weird analogue stick curves where dead zones are stuck at like 30% too. The Xbox one/series emulation for cod is awful.

  @tumorrbtw @VCTScrims Bruh CoD and CS see the same issues. IEM Rio was criticized for the crowd as they left for anything that wasn't a Brazilian match. CoD crowds go dead silent if OpTic lose as most of the fan base has them as the favorites. This is just sports crowds in a nutshell.

  @Center_Ice_Utah @ApeXClanFR @InfinityWard I don’t see MW4 having great success because of this and GTA 6. GTA 6 is gonna be massive same way GTA 5 was for 13 years. Tons are tired of the new CODs. Have been for a while. If MW4 Beta isn’t good, IW could be in trouble. They haven’t made a banger since OG MW2 so no faith

  Call of Duty: Vanguard arrives on Xbox Game Pass to bolster the shooter catalog. Multiplayers can install the title directly from the service. #XboxGamePass #CallOfDuty #Vanguard

  @oliver_drk COD is too big for the CURRENT revenue of Game Pass. It's not a problem with the business model, it's a problem of MS betting the growth of the service in PC and cloud instead of more consoles (spoiler: it didn't pay off)

  XpertFusion (AKA MovieFusion) (@xpertfusion3) reported 46 minutes ago

  @Dreamcast_1999 @ExoGhost I know, that’s what I said. Even with slower TTK, person who shoots first IS at an advantage. But they shouldn’t be guaranteed the kill, because shooting first isn’t always necessarily “skillful”, and it would also make gunfights kind of boring and inexistent. That’s the problem with a fast TTK, the person who shoots first often gets the kill like 90% of the time, regardless of skill. I’m only talking about COD right now. Obviously this is different for other games. Fast TTK works in games like Rainbow Six Siege because the mechanics and purpose of the game is very different.

  @BITCHISSMESSI @TheRickYouTube Big time agree. At this point I wish they just release one massive live service game built how the new MW3 was and just actually give us good content for it over time. Maybe a yearly campaign expansion or something. Like COD Mobile, but fully fleshed for consoles and PC.

  I got a question for my sniper friends and others who play cod, how many cheaters do you run into in pubs a day, NA East for pubs is nearly unplayable because of cheaters,just curious if anybody else is running into the same issue?

  @AG3Hero @LordofCinder24 That's the problem. Women DON'T follow the rules. They actively lobby and protest to get them changed. Cod lobbies, and the banter within, were literally made a bannable offense BECAUSE of women being unable to handle it. Women in gaming is an objectively bad thing for gaming.

  And @asha_shar thanks for basically giving cod exclusivity back to PlayStation since they won’t have the mod menu problem like old gen and xbox has. Giving us so many reasons to buy an Xbox right now 😐

  @PoolNoodle989 Lol, one of the main reasons I don't play Cod multiplayer except with customs and friends. I don't really do trash talk, either giving or taking, because I am admittedly a somewhat sensitive person :p (and maybe I have some ego problems -w-;)
