  @thiagovasco17 @newenglandprod1 @ATVIAssist Apparently in that case there is a service that is called cod.braker that you have to rub that resolves the issue

  I’ve had multiple customers of mine who I built computers for in the last year saying they can’t even play most of the game modes on @CallofDuty now due to the forced TPM / BIOS update (picture attached) BUT the motherboard I used shows as compatible on the website, and I updated the BIOS before the final sale back in February of this year - they don’t have issues on any other game but the main reason they had the computer built was for Call of Duty. The motherboard is one I’ve used for dozens of other builds with no issue. I have spent months now trying to figure this out, as well as months trying to contact Call of Duty but they never respond, or if they do it’s an automated message… anyone else out there dealing with this?? I will reply below with what we have done:

  @yggdrasilsaltar I think people in this post mentioning the timeframe are forgetting that VV got merged into cod and Toys for Bob worked on Crash and Spyro Trilogy, as well as Crash 4 after AND Crash Team Rumble, Realistically they've been working on this since 2023.

  @Seanm288 How did they lose money? Enlighten me. I don't play COD nor have I claimed to be a soldier. I don't really like shooters. Honestly you seem like a big loser who's desperate to make his problems everyone else's and can't handle that some people are happy in their lives.

  @CodexCT @charlieINTEL that's the thing. If the "wild" skins were like that then there would be no issues with skins in CoD. It's not a ******* Diablo boss or something.

  @MrProWestie @ItzPerka @InfinityWard My issue is that it's unfair if a squad rolls up on me when I'm a solo player. I wouldn't have a problem if I knew that I'd have to fight other solo players.

  @Lizard_King117 @noAcking @Shyway I just feel making CoD exclusive would put Xbox in a whole heap of legal issues. Personally, I think the whole ABK buyout shouldn't have been touched since Activision is nuclear levels of hot. But Phil Spencer and Microsoft suits only saw $$ and it hurt Xbox big time.

  “Big multiplayer/live service games will continue to be multiplatform” Processes to still make gears E-day console exclusive Which is there next big Multiplayer/live service game besides cod Can you stay consistent or flip flop around constantly?

  @KlinKypoo @MamaKayTTV COD has been downhill since Ghosts. MW19/Warzone boosted COD into the light again in many ways. But then somehow lost that momentum AGAIN! COD biggest issue right now is COD fatigue / Anti cheat / Recycling MW and Black Ops series / COD HQ and more. It needs a reboot. Only way

  @KeshavBhat I hope they kill Warzone or just hand it off and completely disconnect it from CoD. It takes too much focus off of 6v6 multiplayer

  @CallofDuty @InfinityWard Sorry but PvP is **** the last DMZ was full of warzone sweat idiots they not play story missions only to kill another player thats was the MAIN problem a PvE only mode would fix this iam done with you lying ********.

  @CODUpdates @ATVIAssist @CallofDuty players should not be forced into upgrades because you didn’t whitelist their CPUs that meet every requirement you put out in the COD attestation checker. $200 later I am good, but many players can’t afford to just do this on a whim. Fix ur **** anticheat

  @POkatureIfy @UTDKarra With his betting issues and suspensions? He's even more of a risk cod we could buy him and he might not play for years

  Gaming is in a serious crisis. We have already seen this with the success of many new games. I am not talking about female or diverse characters in core gaming titles, but about the fact that gaming mechanics and even graphics are at a standstill. They have simply stopped getting newer or better. A few years ago, with VR, the gaming world seemed ready for the next big step. However, mainstream gamers did not adopt the new technology, and it was also very expensive at the time. VR largely failed, and until Steam Frame we will not really see a revival. The only real progress for gaming right now is VR mods for flat-screen games. Here we face another problem: NVIDIA has stopped delivering significantly better GPUs because everything is going into AI. AI is actually killing innovation in gaming. It sounds funny and a bit weird, but that is the problem from a hardware perspective. What will be the next big thing? Honestly, I don’t know. I will certainly continue playing my core gaming titles for the evening grind, like COD, along with the occasional indie or narrative-driven game. I also try to play most longer action-adventures in VR, such as the Resident Evil franchise. But overall, I am very negative about the state of the industry. Sorry to say it, but even from an investor’s perspective, this is not a good development.

  DMZ looks incredible, but will it have the same problems CoD has had for the last few years? Cheaters, Packet Burst, etc. I guess we will see.

  @channelstv I was downloading 60GB COD on PS5 with my starlink of 57k a month. I must’ve used over 100GB on that download because light went off several times and each time I’m back to the beginning, this man is lying, right till Starlink suspend your service you can do anything you want.

  @ZC2forBO7 It’s not an issue of DMZ lacking a PvE element, it’s an issue of this being the first cod in 18 years to have ZERO offering in terms of pure co-op PvE If they decide to cut specops & zombies, then DMZ itself needs to fill that slot in SOME way for that PvE co-op element of COD

  @Okami13_ @giantbomb I mean if their goal is to sell games it’s definitely a mistake. I can see them dropping gamepass day ones while still keeping the service, maybe doing like a one year window to incentivize people to buy the games similar to CoD.

  @Themistmaker1 Dev time is $ and money is finite, wasting $ optimizing and maintaining a PvE server is a waste… COD has never been a PvE focused franchise for mainline modes, DMZ is IW’s major focus this year, and the proof is in the pudding Arc didn’t need PvE only modes, they have a dynamic matchmaking to deal with the most aggro players, and IW has said they can do the same. Arc’s problem is lack of content flow because they’re a small studio, if the choice is more content flow or adding another playlist complicating things imma take the more content flow every time to maximize the value of my $ buy in.

  @HaloNoSprint @eleni_live @The_One_Boom you know what, how about this Your PvP DMZ mode is a problem because it splits the player base of Multiplayer, also it's not the identity of CoD games. Leave CoD alone pls and stop ruining it for us. What your response now? Do you finally feel stupid?

  @GAMERTAGVR VR's No.1 problem is the lack of big IP. There's no CoD VR, no GTA VR, no Uncharted VR, no Mario VR, etc. Spin offs like HL Alyx won't cut it. Who gives a **** about Moss or Red Matter, from an IP recognition POV? No one. You want VR to take off, you got to have GTA6 in VR. 2/2
