  @FreakLunes @lilduval Gang that **** was untouchable for a long time 10 years ago. It cleared COD and 2k in their prime. From kids to grown *** men and women. How you not mainstream when every big name in gaming has attempted to copy the Battle Pass and live service formula they created to this day.

  @hussien11 Compared to the profit of live service? Yeah they aren't really that profitable. look at this data, add-ons alone made more money for Sony than all games combined, that's probably all microtransactions, FC points, Cod Points, V bucks or GTA Online cash. This is why Sony has been foaming at the mouth, trying to get their own Fortnite-like cash cow. This is why they tried to make TLOU into a multiplayer, this why they tried to do a Spiderman multiplayer, this why they spent 400 million on Concord and this is why they closed Bluepoint after they gave it an impossible task of making GOW into a live service title. I believe they are going to focus only on the money and how to maximize profit. Sony is the greediest company ever, they are the literal personification of Greed in form of a company. I despise the people in charge and pray for their downfall.

  @SolidSnake680 @ATVIAssist Support portals often get bogged down, but you might be missing the fact that entitlement issues are often tied to account linking errors. Double, check your accounts for mismatches. It's a common pitfall that adds to the frustration.

  @ALegendaryDrops Cod keeps making itself obsolete with oversaturation, and many others burned themselves with fomo battle passes (that's why I quit R6S) Not treating them as love service did better for the games which is why people liked them better the way they used to be.

  @user98765146435 @Pirat_Nation You act like CoD is some impossible technical benchmark. It isn't. If Activision believed Nintendo owners would buy CoD in Xbox numbers, they'd have built a version for it. Nintendo fans weren't interested. The console isn't the problem. The game just doesn't appeal.

  @NerosCinema Anyone still playing COD...I don't know. I get the pros, cause they're pros. But if you are a casual still playing COD, just quit. Quit playing. Quit buying it. Find something else to play. The franchise will either die or they'll fix it. Either is better than what we have now.

  @TheGamingRevo3 @FPSpsychoYT A big problem is the realistic nonsense animation style we’ve had since 2019. Look how stiff/solid and snappy they look in BO2 (and every cod before MW19). It’s a massive problem that nobody talks about, when it’s a large reason the games look/feel different from classic games.

  RICO TO TREASON (@F1sT) reported 48 minutes ago

  @WarzoneAlerts The false positive scam by infinity ward. In the summer of 2026, the charts lit up with a familiar name. Call of Duty: Black Ops II — a game originally released in 2012 — sat at the top of the most-played PlayStation titles in the United States, ahead of Fortnite and the newest entries in the Call of Duty series. The internet celebrated. “Nostalgia wins.” “This is what the community really wants.” Screenshots of the rankings spread like proof of a collective verdict against modern CoD. But the numbers don’t say what many people claim they say. There are still more PlayStation 4 consoles in living rooms than PlayStation 5s. Millions of those PS4s are plugged into older televisions and monitors that never saw 4K or 120 Hz. For a lot of those households, the newest Call of Duty games have become something else entirely: expensive annual purchases stacked on top of already high console prices, battle-pass pressure, and $20–$30 skin bundles. When the cost of keeping up feels like a second rent payment, people stop keeping up. So when Activision dropped a simple, relatively cheap port of Black Ops II that runs cleanly on last-generation hardware, a large group of players did the practical thing. They played the game that still worked with the equipment they already owned. No new TV required. No new console required. No feeling that the game was built for someone else’s setup and wallet. That is not the same thing as a mass declaration that the community has rejected modern Call of Duty and chosen 2012 forever. It is what happens when a significant portion of the player base has been priced out of the current product and is left with what they already have. The charts recorded activity. They did not record preference under equal conditions. The loud celebration online treated raw login numbers as a moral victory. In reality, those numbers also measure who can still afford to show up.

  I'm definitely in the minority here, but if they ever do a Call of Duty Zombies adaptation... I do think a Live-Action Movie Franchise would be the best possible option and would be far more interesting than a TV show or something animated. Here are my reasons... • We've already seen lots of the Zombies story cutscenes in animated form, would be more interesting to see how it would look in live-action. • Seeing the Zombies maps brought to life in live-action would be incredible. • Doing a movie instead of a TV show would allow for a MUCH larger budget for the film. A TV show wouldn't get as high of a budget. COD Zombies deserves a high budget. • I want to see COD Zombies on the big screen (in theaters) • It would be more popular as a live-action film franchise compared to an animated TV series. • I know COD Zombies storyline has a lot of lore, but majority of it is fluff, let's be honest. They don't need to put literally every element of it in a proper adaptation. • If they did an animated series or movie, I'd imagine they'd use the same voice actors. But the problem with that is it wouldn't really work as an "adaptation" in the same way because most people would see it as being canon and that could cause confusion. • A successful COD Zombies Movie could open up the possibility for spin-off shows and other animated projects anyways. But I do think it should start with a COD Zombies Movie based on the World at War Zombies story.

  @kaiju_carver @avataryaya_ Tokon did the cod tactic. Where they release a "beta" right before the game releases, when in hindsight it's more of a demo. Because 2 weeks is not enough time to fix or add things needed before a game releases

  @deadscenemedia CoD and minecraft were slander every day 10x times worse than Marathon in 2012, but people still played them and today theyre considered 2 of the biggest games in videogames modern history, the problem isnt the bad reputation, is the fact that nobody wanted an extraction shooter
