  @oliver_drk COD is too big for the CURRENT revenue of Game Pass. It's not a problem with the business model, it's a problem of MS betting the growth of the service in PC and cloud instead of more consoles (spoiler: it didn't pay off)

  @raratoman @IronGalaxy What do yall not understand about it being a port. Since this leaked it’s been “add this” “add that” “are you going to fix this”. It’s just going to be a port of the same ******* game and it’ll probably play like **** and be full of hackers in a couple hours from cod tv.

  @Glen1383551 I hate to tell you but most people who buy GTA 6, CoD, Madden, etc. aren't the type of people that play smaller scale or indie games when the entire industry panders to these people, a crash is not *impossible* (though would likely look very different compared to the 90s)

  @xangelink @CODWarfareForum @johnnyjl96 PS3 COD games online multiplayer is broken on a technical level, I don’t know if they’d get new “better” servers but I think they would either have to fix the underlying PS3 issue or it’ll be the same crappy servers but just exclusive to PS4/5

  @xProMvz Bro honestly stfu, you have no right to call someone a no life when you have been playing in ******* bot lobbies since bo3, every new cod that has ever come out after bo3 you refused to buy it because of a “skill issue” so bro get ******** off the internet… respectfully 🫵🤡

  @NerosCinema @JustPain889 I agree with that. Considering it’s ps5 servers only I wouldn’t hate the FoV slider, I just don’t plan on playing any other cod so once I adjust I won’t have a problem.

  @spooky_bees What you consider "games" and what I consider "games" are not the same. Ladies just aren't interested in what we're interested in generally speaking. My ex used to get pissed off with me playing games in front of her, then in an ironic twist, I ended up helping her and her new boyfriend with a place to stay while they got their **** together. I know I know, I'm amazing, for putting up with it. Anyway, she had zero issue watching this guy sit on his arse and play COD all day on my console. This had nothing to do with gaming or me, or my work ethic, and everything to do with her childish spiteful attitude. If you don't like us men telling you how ******* mean you ladies can be, I don't really care. It's a fact. Cry harder. I don't care about your feelings. Get another hobby or ******* boyfriend and leave us to enjoy our time in peace.

  @OrionLupus @unknown152022 @The_One_Boom There’s virtually no input lag on the native 360 games… the emulation is what causes that, it also causes weird analogue stick curves where dead zones are stuck at like 30% too. The Xbox one/series emulation for cod is awful.

  Head-On Crash on Sandwich Road Sends Two Drivers to Hospital; One Airlifted by MedFlight BOURNE, Mass. — A head-on collision on Sandwich Road Wednesday morning left two drivers injured, prompting a multi-agency response and the temporary closure of the busy roadway for nearly three hours. At 7:33 a.m., Bourne Police Dispatch received multiple 911 calls reporting a crash with injuries. Officers, along with the Bourne Fire Department and Massachusetts State Police, arrived to find a red 2004 Jeep and a white 2023 Toyota pickup truck that had collided head-on in the westbound lane. The Jeep was operated by a 35-year-old man from North Carolina. The Toyota pickup was driven by a 43-year-old man from Pocasset. Both drivers were injured in the crash. The pickup truck driver was transported by Boston MedFlight helicopter to an area trauma hospital. The Jeep driver was taken to a hospital by ground ambulance. Because of the severity of the injuries, the Cape Cod Law Enforcement Council’s Crash Reconstruction team responded to investigate. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Sandwich Road was closed from 7:33 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. while emergency crews treated the drivers, investigators processed the scene, and the vehicles were removed. Bourne Police thanked the Massachusetts State Police and MassDOT for their assistance with traffic control and road closures.

  The Norges Central Bank has followed other countries’ this week in keeping key interest rates unchanged, even as inflation rises - further weakening the #Norway krone.🤨  Setting monetary policy has become almost as difficult for the spineless monetary committee as handling the slippery cod that decorates our 200-kroner note.🤨 Norges Bank’s ‘sheep’ opted against the 1/4 rise expected before summer in à decision that keeps the policy rate at 4.25%, until their next meeting in August, with the overnight lending rate remaining at 5.25% & reserve rate at 3.25%. They’ve warned that interest rates may rise later this year due to uncertainty about future issues but the krone had been strengthening, especially after the US/Iran thing that sent oil prices soaring but now prices are falling & one US dollar cost NOK 9.6 Thursday morning, down from 9.2. Then we’ve wage awards this spring of over 4% for the public sector by à lefty/Labor coalition Govt held hostage by the unions & economists left wringing their hands with the stupidity.🙄😤

  Something Treyarch NEEDS to work on for their next game is making every Zombies map release feel special again. Zombies maps are dropping with very little buzz these days, even when they’re genuinely great like Totenreich. People are moving on quicker than they ever have before. I think this comes down to three main reasons: 1. Oversaturation of COD Zombies: There have now been so many maps released - and a lot of them in just the past couple of years - that a lot of people feel burnt out, even when the maps are decent to good. 2. The same/similar Zombies systems for six years straight: The core systems have remained largely unchanged for six years, which has completely killed general interest in the mode. Contrary to what a lot of vocal people say, the systems themselves are good - they just shouldn’t have stayed this similar across so many games. I loved Cold War Zombies when it first dropped because everything felt fresh and new, and that’s a big part of why it hit so hard at the time. Like anything else though, it eventually gets old. The same thing happened back when we were getting a Shield in every single map. Ultimately, Treyarch just didn’t make BO7 feel different enough to re-engage people. 3. The story needs to do something to bring people back in and attract new people: I actually think the BO7 Zombies story has improved in quite a few ways. The OG crew’s dialogue is a breath of fresh air. Despite that, interest in the story has never been lower. The main reason is that a lot of people felt let down by the BO6 story. Reckoning’s failure to properly pay off arcs (or straight-up ignoring too much of them) has left people hesitant to invest in the story again for fear of being emotionally let down. There are some absolute gems in the BO7 Zombies story, but it lacks a strong foundation. People were so hyped for the BO6 story because Cold War had laid such good groundwork to build on. Richtofen, his family, Janus, Peeks. This is made worse by the fact that the story now feels both too random and too formulaic at the same time. Things just seem to happen on a whim (Sentinel Artifact coming back, OG crew returning out of nowhere with a “Welcome to the party!”, Josiah Shem Order robes, etc.), while the overarching narrative has become fairly predictable. I genuinely don’t know how they fix this level of disinterest. I think it probably requires starting from scratch. People have gotten so lost in the story that a lot of them have no idea what’s even happening anymore. It’s full of references to old Aether lore (which only the hardcore fans understand) while dangling Chaos elements in front of us (again, mainly for us nerds), but newer fans don’t get any of it - and even a lot of the older fans end up disappointed because those threads don’t really pay off either. The fact that BO7 did so many of the things’ people were seemingly asking for - bringing back the OG crew, returning to more awesome environments, having those fantastical and whimsical intro/ending cutscenes every map - and yet people still aren’t really paying attention, shows just how hard it is for Treyarch to read the room right now. On paper they’re doing a lot of the right things but the payoff fails. It came at the wrong time and without proper build-up. They’re basically repeating BO3 (the most beloved Zombies era) and it’s not landing the same way, largely because BO6 and BO7 came back-to-back and due to it almost too much retreading on the past magic. I’m guessing a lot of BO6 content got cut or rushed to make room for BO7, which left its story feeling incomplete, lacking dialogue, and with broken/contrasting arcs and missing intros. It’s a classic case of “be careful what you wish for.” Cold War wasn’t everyone’s favourite at the time, but its story wasn’t something people were even craving by the end of BO4. However, it still managed to build an audience because it felt new and fresh, while also delivering satisfying arcs, proper payoffs, and strong undercurrents that built hype and mystery for a potential sequel. It was held back by a lack of cutscenes and a set crew, but out of all the modern games, its story had by far the most general interest. It’s still the most well-rounded story of the modern era in terms of how everything comes together. Its chapters (beginning, middle, and end) were clearly defined. The current story is just difficult for most people to follow. Jumping between eras has killed any sense of momentum. BO6 should have come out as the direct follow-up to Cold War, with BO7 coming after that. The moment they started introducing Zombies and Gods pre-Cyclotron was when things started falling apart. Going to the past with Vanguard, to the future with MWZ, then back to the middle to continue the cold war story, then going outside of time in BO7 has colossally ****** things. Likewise, the OG crew’s return also shouldn’t have felt like it came out of nowhere - it should have been slowly built up and teased throughout BO6. Making their return part of Project Janus would have been a much cleaner way to do it. Richtofen could have started by trying to bring his family back, then gradually remembered his old comrades and decided to save them too. That would’ve been much easier for people to follow, could’ve been cryptically teased through intel, and would’ve given the Janus mystery (and Janus Richtofen’s ending) way more weight and payoff. So where do we go from here? think they need to do another reboot. They need to reset things again. It’s unfortunate that it’s necessary, but I don’t really see another option. Nikolai’s plan failed. Things are a mess once more. There’s just too much baggage at this point, and Treyarch needs to try something genuinely fresh - both in gameplay and in the story.
