  @charlieINTEL @thegamebusiness One of my big problems I have about Black Ops 7 was the fact that AI generated banners were the main reason why this CoD fell off hard

  Someone please help fix my game I’m crashing almost every game. Tried to turn OC down still didn’t work @CallofDuty

  @genemoneyman @CuredFX I think it’ll be a lot of players who haven’t played cod in a while coming back, the only remaining issue is the hacking which will be make or break.

  @MrTLexify The actual problem is that we sell COD games period. It should just be Call of Duty as a free game like fortnite. The fact we got the fortnite model but also have a yearly game price on top of that is ******* insane!

  @BlackIceSheep @V_trizzle @NerosCinema Idiots like you will cry when it's too fast and you realize that's part of the problem with new cods. Tell me 1 cod with pov that's on bo2 level. You can't the games play too fast. Only idiots like you ruin a perfect formula. You think your smart but you aren't

  Fix #3: Pre-shipment confirmation. Before the box leaves the warehouse — email, SMS, or WhatsApp the customer. Confirm the address. Confirm the order. Get explicit acknowledgment. In COD-heavy markets, this is non-negotiable: → Greece: 85.6% COD → Poland: 60.7% → Romania: 51%

  @KARNAGEclan My problem with this game was that it was basically the Smash Melee of COD. Where the movement felt more like an exploit rather than a fun skill gap. Throw in their "Carry Forward" come with stealth weapon balances that nerf guns to make them worse than in MW22, feels lame

  @zackpr05 Sorry that I want to play an OG cod on my PS5. I can no longer play on my old xbox one s with drifting broken controllers and laggy broken servers too. 😔

  @SaintsVFX @maitrise @Nitrocaa I’m saying they could replicate the same thing on a jailbroken ps4 and login on the same account on a ps5 and have the infection clip. I heard the cod tv has been patched so if that is true it would be much less common

  @RealMrClutch Playstation caters to the most "normie casual" of all gamers... the Live-service/GAAS and Microtransaction buyer That's where the majority of Playstation revenue comes from existing Live service games like EA sports, Fortnite, Roblox, CoD and 2K sports. Xbox markets differently

  Most D2C ops teams report their RTO cost as one number: the reverse courier charges. A pain, not worth having, especially if you are prone to bleed in competitive industries like fashion, duh? That number is wrong. Not lying, but actuallyyy quite incomplete :/ While we were auditing orders from a fashion D2C brand shipping 8,000 orders/month, 2,400 of them RTO: Ops team's reported cost: ₹48/order, but actual all-in cost: ₹194/order! They were underestimating their RTO burden by 4x. Where the other ₹146 was hiding: - Courier forward charge - ₹65 (the part everyone tracks) - Courier reverse charge - ₹45 (often missed — return shipping isn't free) - Reprocessing cost - ₹30 (someone has to open, inspect, re-tag, restock) - Resale delay carrying cost - ₹40 (inventory sitting idle isn't free either, it's capital not converting). - Packaging + handling - built into the above but rarely broken out. Multiply that gap by 2,400 RTO orders a month and you're looking at a number that never shows up clean in any P&L line, it's smeared across logistics, ops, and inventory. Why this matters beyond the math: founders make decisions on which categories to push, which cities to ship to, whether to tighten COD verification, based on the ₹48 number. The decision changes completely at ₹194. If your ops team's RTO number only includes the courier fee, you're not seeing the real cost. You're seeing a quarter of it. Calculate your number: forward courier + reverse courier + reprocessing labor + carrying cost of unsold inventory. Then compare it to what your ops dashboard currently shows. The gap is usually bigger, and btw, we've cracked at finding such gaps!

  @Drtre81 Most of the digital downloads are also from the gun and ball live service games which are the majority of game sales in consoles. So yes the majority buy digital but it’s because the majority only play Fortnite, COD, sports games, etc.

  @RoyalXIII @TropicalMaku Unfortunately as long as Fortnite, CoD, Roblox, and GTA online are around live service will be a thing there’s some others too but these are probably the biggest ones and they have proven that 1 big hit is a gold mine.

  @FUT_Accountant They can't, too many false or broken promises especially with what happened at the start of 26, since it swapped to fc it's been going down hill with the lies, money grabbing and very poor servers and gameplay. September onwards you have the likes of Wolverine, Gears of War, COD MW4, GTA 6, Silent Hill all coming out aswell as more to be announced over the summer. If they can make a game with some half decent gameplay they'll keep the loyal lot playing but it's going to be a rough year for them.

  @100onadime @Relxaa_ @RocketLeague Same with you, add the username I provided him and I’ll show you it’s not a skill issue lol. I’ve never played a game before where the community leads me to uninstall and I’ve played it all from Fortnite to COD to R6S bro. Been to the top of the ranks… but not this game…

  @HannyahZ They also go out of their way to fix them instead of selling you games like steam that are out right malware like the old COD games or don't even work. They absolutely deserve it for having actual quality control which is something a multi billion dolar company like valve lacks.

  Inkfy (@inkfycreates) reported 46 minutes ago

  @Airlawn It wasn't as big of a problem the previous gen because PS4 games don't have this problem. PS5 games increasing with storage space does. If you have games like CoD which are going to be triple digitals in terms GB, now you lack space for smaller titles.

  @Asmongold @kick I thought people were aware that even if you have physical copies of your games PlayStation was able to just stop you from playing it. I remember that in 2016 when I bought my copy of CoD I had already thought it was Stupid to continue buying physical copies because there was no benefit and there was nothing I could do if CoD or Sonny wanted to stop me from playing it. I stop buying physical copies became I couldn’t find any benefit and instead I still had the problem of the disc getting damaged

  @bee_fumo No game uses Steam CEG for decades now. Titles like COD MW2 (2009) and Black Ops 1 uses CEG (using Steam emulator would cause it to crash unlike SteamStub which can be easily bypassed), while the majority of title use SteamStub DRM.

  @UAV_Tv @CallofDuty I wish, but honestly probably won’t happen, since no bugs will be able to be fixed since nobody will be there to fix them over the weekend. Hopefully I’m wrong and they do release it, but highly unlikely I think sadly

  Corey (@Corey48747397) reported 55 minutes ago

  @iCrazyTeddy Any data you're looking at on digital vs physical is highly skewed by online live-service games. Ppl who buy CoD, 2K, etc overwhelmingly buy digital. Their game lasts 1-3 years and they need the next installment anyway to keep playing with the bros. They don't care. Single...

  @Rallied Rage hackers are not the problem in cod ,,,, ITS THE CLOSEST CHEATS THAT ARE THE PROBLEM Rage hackers should be targeting closet cheaters for targeting genuine players ,,, Like it’s rage hackers jobs in cod to make the game as miserable as they can possibly for closet cheats
