  @InfinityWard SBMM is the main issue. Shouldn’t be Sbmm in pubs only in ranked and also adding attachments makes your guns way to slow!

  @ghost_of_dokuga The problem about GBO2 is that there's no detailed explanation for even the basic stuff because the devs don't even play their own game. Even if you watch certain people's vids those guides are meant for people who already know how to play the game not for someone who's starting off, so at least for the western player base you have all these players who've been playing since launch that are still D-, still below Master sergeant because all they play is custom lobbies, melee 1v1s, etc. So when they do encounter someone that actually no the mechanics they freak ******** out. Honestly Ratings should reset monthly with some good rewards to encourages people to reach a certain rank but it's optional. GBO2 doesn't really have a laid back casual mode compared to COD where even if you're not good you're really trying to see how much XP you can get in one match.

  @AkiraJkr1 @CallofDuty If you can't wait 10 seconds for a match to start then you have a problem that can't be fixed by anything in the game.

  @pansycacke07 It’s a mixed bag for sure. CoD sells but many people buy it and drop it, so I’m not sure why they’d paywall that for a subscription service perk.

  @tdawgsmitty This is just going to make Eveyrone play open and nothing changes to casuals. People are crying about SBMM Real issue is , COD is dead. Yearly release , 2 diff companies , same dumb guns to rank up and camos. The way it is set up is Pathetic. Fortnite is free game and clears

  @BOTWPshaun @NerosCinema Is that why no one is playing the beta when in actuality their just repeating the same sentiment alot of people have calling them cult leaders and not acknowledging the issue is the reason why cod is in the state it is now and reason why no one is even playing this beta

  @InfinityWard The things I see as a problem: 1: Cronus cheating. 2: SBMM. 3: TTK. 4: UAV spamming. 5: ghost and ninja in the same perk spot. 6: velocity of players vs the maps size, needs to be balanced (too small maps or too much players) 7: real balance on the teams in the match making.

  @CallofDuty @InfinityWard The game doesn't feel next-gen, needs graphical improvement, needs more destruction, dynamic weather, fog, I hope you improve, fix the game

  @fth_slm If you take one actual look you'll see that most of the issues are actually talking about apex tiers talking about how their games are unwinnable because of their teammates ranking. And the voracity of this discussion is also like 1% of what the cod fanbase talks about.

  @TUBULARFOOL @CallofDuty That isn't happening. No one wants to contribute to some scuff or xim or zen or titan loser's YouTube clips. That is your problem. YOU want to only ever be top of the lobby and QUIT EVERY MATCH WITH SOMEONE BETTER THAN YOU. You want play your own version of sbmm by quitting.

  @FPSSinner I miss Halo 2, Halo 3, Runescape 2, some sick COD 360 no scope montages. **** was getting cinematic back in the day. Nowadays games just dont make good clips because the pacing. Its the Quake and Unreal problem, but universally.

  @InfinityWard Those who pre-ordered MW4 are naive bastards who believe that InfinityWard will fix everything in updates from August 28th to September 1st in open Beta

  I played around two hours of Black Ops 7 with very limited lag. Now, every server has completely unplayable, asinine lag. The computer programmers who maintain @CallofDuty servers are either completely incompetent, or downright, disgusting pieces of scum. This entire matter is...

  @CallofDutyCM @CLIPP0RD Yes you guys fix it. I’m not buying the game. The lying continues and cheaters are two steps ahead of your entire team. Save your money and not buy this ****** game. I already cancelled the preorder. Cod can never be same back then in the 2000s because there was no cheaters.

  @genemoneyman @GamingWithNuke dbd for example is a game where one player had almost 2k 4k streak matches (all survs killed) and has sbmm. The problem is sbmm being too loose and soft matchmaking cap being way too low. The problem with cod is that you will be seeing way too many contradictory "arguments" on why sbmm is bad and everything boiling down to "i can't stomp people because skill level is too similar" and "i get bots in team" which are basically mutually contradictive

  @_cvmvrvn_ @CallofDuty Ok retard. They made a game with no sbmm and everyone quit. They added it back in to try and save a bad game. You come here and make stupid statements like "they fixed the broken part so they have an excuse to release a not broken game" like thats a bad thing. DUMBASS

  I’ve been thinking a lot about MW4, the BO1/BO2 ports, and Call of Duty as a whole lately. And I think I’ve realized something about myself as a creator too. At some point, I think I became so focused on MY corner of COD that I stopped intentionally asking what the community as a whole actually wants. Not just trickshotters. Not just snipers. Not just competitive players. Not just movement players. Not just people who play COD 6 hours a day. Everybody. Because after playing MW4, I don’t think multiplayer is “dead” or that people suddenly don’t want traditional multiplayer anymore. The response to BO1 and BO2 coming back pretty clearly showed me that. People still want to load up Call of Duty, play some games with their friends, level up, hit clips, mess around, and have fun. But I think somewhere along the way COD lost some of the simplicity and identity that made that experience so easy to fall in love with. And I also think creators, myself included, can become disconnected from that. We spend thousands of hours playing these games. We optimize everything. We find our own communities and eventually start looking at COD through the lens of a niche within a niche within another niche. Then we wonder why the average player doesn’t always want the same things we do. I also think Treyarch has an insanely difficult job. They’re trying to make ONE Call of Duty that satisfies casual players, competitive players, Warzone players, Zombies players, snipers, movement players, camo grinders, creators, longtime players, new players, and probably 50 other groups that all want different things. There is no update that makes everybody happy. So I don’t think the answer is simply “developers don’t listen.” Maybe part of the problem is that we’ve made it incredibly difficult to even determine WHO they should be listening to. MW4 has things I like. It has things I really don’t. But more than anything, playing it after spending so much time on BO2 has made me realize how much I miss Call of Duty having a clear identity. Simple enough that anybody could pick it up. Deep enough that people could spend thousands of hours mastering it. And fun enough that you didn’t always need a reason to keep playing. I want to be better about remembering that when I talk about COD going forward. Not just asking what MY community wants. Actually listening to what the entire community is saying.

  @charlieINTEL @InfinityWard If they didn't fix it in the last five games what makes you think they'll fix it this time? Don't be stupid.

  @I_AM_WILDCAT Yeah cod has fallen off a cliff over these past 6 years. Sucks what's happened to it but it's too be expected when leadership just shovles out slop and everyone eats it up. Hopefully MW4 blows up in their faces so they can finally understand what's the problem

  @LincolnMargison @TGDefinition bro this was NEVER a problem in the old cod games!! people who sucked kept playing and got better and the golden age of cods had the most sales and highest player retention. people go back to these games to this day. your reasoning falls short when considering this

  @BobThebuil38250 @ugotpermabanned @TheGhostOfHope In every lobby I played I top scored and got best play and I still think this is the worst cod I don’t think it’s a skill issue anymore, i think infinity ward just can’t do a good job at anything

  @Nitroh @project33NWO Sounds like a skill issue to me, even if the sniper is preaimed the flinch should throw you off, like every other cod, that just doesn’t happen so I don’t know what you’re on about

  @Quantifiabl @plutorwns @threebimm It’s just ******* infinityward. They come in and ruin cod every couple of years just for 3arc to have to fix everything right before iw ***** it up again. They work 3arc into the ground making them help on iw and sh cods and then testing acti dark practices on 3arc cods
