    @CallofDuty Fix your ******* zombies bro there’s so much stupid bugs on there

  • JonBolithoJones Jon Bolitho-Jones (@JonBolithoJones) reported

    @IanDBarker Cheers. I find going for a wak really helps. Problems is it's really cod at the moment. It's not the writing that's bothering me today - I end to just churn on with that side of things. It's the marketing/book selling/writing career stuff today.

  • TheGoodSoldier2 GencyFan23 (@TheGoodSoldier2) reported

    @AidanGuevara14 Like COVID, if theirs a small hole, it will grow bigger. That’s a issue with BF and COD, if there’s a small hole they didn’t notice, you know the rest. Even if they close it, they find a smaller hole, breach it and repeat. Even if you target the company, you made them stronger.

    @alireza41661636 @PlayCODMobile It seems my friend has forgot his email and pw that he used to link with Activision. But now I am happy to play in my account itself in which literally nothing is there. I think u have to login through cod account once

  • _Forseer Bradley Price (@_Forseer) reported

    @Activision @InfinityWard CAME 2ND IN #Warzone TO ANOTHER HACKER. PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD FIX YOUR BROKEN GAME

  • _harrybw Mythos Harry (@_harrybw) reported

    @ImStallionTV @ATVIAssist Their Twitter is so **** mate, I contacted them via DMs and they got back to me over a month later still not resolving my issue

  • MidoDaDon Whitebeard (@MidoDaDon) reported

    @CallofDuty @Activision nerf dmr, fix sbmm, also infinity ward is a bad developer lul

  • IanSplis Ian (@IanSplis) reported

    @SmittyBarstool Warzone only works if you own Modern Warfare, apparently owning just Cold War isn’t good enough. I need you to influence @CallofDuty to fix this

  • theasparagus630 Kohler Hurtado (@theasparagus630) reported

    @CallofDuty @ModernWarzone FIX YOUR BROKEN WARZONE GUNS. The game isn't even fun to play anymore. Who's job was it to "OK" the weapon balancing with the DMR/Renetti? Its just absurd.

  • Rizzda14 midget🇬🇧 (@Rizzda14) reported

    @ATVIAssist when trying to load up my game it kicks me onto xbox home screen plz help fix this

  • ArcherCrash archer_crash (@ArcherCrash) reported

    @Treyarch @ATVIAssist fix the field upgrades. When i hit the buttons it doesnt work. And thats super bad because its starting to hurt my stats

  • 3blackmartillo2 Just a Mixed Introvert (@3blackmartillo2) reported

    @ATVIAssist 3BlackMartillo2#8660409, blackmartillo32, PS4. Haven’t had the issue since but we do freeze up when getting a loadout

  • _silviahen 𝕊𝕀𝕃𝕍𝕀𝔸 (@_silviahen) reported

    @CallofDuty Fix the bug in the rebirth island when the loadout blocks every time we get a weapon

  • TKS_ORACLE mustagkeem harris (@TKS_ORACLE) reported

    @CallofDuty low fps in warzone when is this getting a fix 1080ti cant even hit 100 fps on low settings

  • Jbatcher joshua batcher (@Jbatcher) reported

    @RavenSoftware How about u fix the cheaters in the game I’m pretty sure that’s worse since u guys took over. Not a good look @RavenSoftware it’s pretty sad to think blackout could have been a huge money maker but PC died quick because of cheaters and then COD makes another BR and NO ANTI CHEAT

  • Contactspider89 TFZ Spider (@Contactspider89) reported

    @tombeech94 @JayGerdes @RavenSoftware Whats the point in being rude man calling some one a divvy all I was stating was that I had to reinstall windows due to an issue with my pc which I return fix my problem with cod I never said he had to do it. No need to be a prick

  • LukasTBE Lukas😈 (@LukasTBE) reported

    @Defau7t I don’t think it will but if they don’t fix anticheats for next cod its chalked might just quit but I don’t want to quit😣

  • Butty57TTV Butty57TTV (@Butty57TTV) reported

    @ATVIAssist why am I stuck on connecting to online services/fetching online profile? I’ve been trying to get online for 2 hours. No internet issues and I can play any other game online. I’ve tried all troubleshoots I’ve found online and nothing.

  • anuk_iv Anuk Vithanage (@anuk_iv) reported

    @ATVIAssist there is a problem with my stats not recording after matches. I got a win today and it hasnt recorded in the stats. This happened to me on a previous occasion too. Please let me know what can be done

  • Zipper180 Marc Zipper🤐 Philbin (@Zipper180) reported

    So it the ghosts perk not working in #Warzone. I was killed by a person using a heartbeat sensor and i showed up in the sensor in the kill cam even though I was running ghosts? @ATVIAssist @CallofDuty @JGODYT have you seen this issue?

  • Norro_Zerc Norro (@Norro_Zerc) reported

    @Censor It looks reminiscent of how CoD works to alleviate latency between players. Perhaps his POV was that he killed you and that your side had finally registered it. Similar to how players lag and the hits register all at once, the same can be said for the converse of the same action.

  • FUDGE_FANTASY Fredrick Warren (@FUDGE_FANTASY) reported

    @CallofDuty @Activision When you try to cater to everyone you lose everyone. Setup the same algorithm as MW2 or MW3. Because MW 2019 and cold war aren't working for multiplayer matchmaking. Constant UI errors then blue screens on ps4 and ps5. If season 2 nothing is fixed you'll never sell another cod.

  • AlbertVrey Jan-Albert Vrey (@AlbertVrey) reported

    @ATVIAssist Whats with the memory errors and dev errors im getting when trying to play splitscreen on mw

  • DoryuuShep Doryuu ドリュー (@DoryuuShep) reported

    Bummed I couldn’t play Apex today due to this update causing it to crash every game. Ended up swapping to COD, then Valorant, and had a lot of fun. Hopefully Apex’ crashing issues are fixed when I hop back on ;-;

  • smackmy6up Steve (@smackmy6up) reported

    @GreyBeardGamin1 @ATVIAssist are shockingly crap at resolving this issue! @Activision #ux is terrible.

  • FichtelKarl D-Town-Titan (@FichtelKarl) reported

    @skiimaskbru @CallofDuty @Activision Nearly all content guys want a fix for mac10/dmr/diamattis... It is the same **** with every new weapon package, something always needs a nerf. They do it on purpose, bc so ALL are playing this game to level the weapons... Playing no BR since DMR/MAC10, it is boring. Plunder only

  • smackmy6up Steve (@smackmy6up) reported

    @ATVIAssist @ChrisAB34 Seriously? This has gone on for months. The game 'checks for update' every 2 minutes. Fix your game!! Terrible #ux

  • kevincollyer kevin collyer (@kevincollyer) reported

    @InfinityWard please sort out the loadout freeze issue, can't stand dying anymore when getting my loadout 😔😔

  • syntroid owen (@syntroid) reported

    @CrxyWing @creddysway Quit cod Bc cod sucks and it was for pocket change when I was lagging like idc you’re a broke scammer

  • LorenzoMerlo5 Lorenzo Merlo (@LorenzoMerlo5) reported

    @RavenSoftware Thanks to finally notice that somethin' is wrong with the game. At least if u wanna put solely broken CW weapons, then make the MW weapons more competitive. Try to keep up with @InfinityWard legacy.
