    @CallofDuty Sounds like a goated team. Actually solving modern readability issues the vast majority of modern games have and aren't allowed / willing to look into how to fix them. Wouldn't have thought CoD would be doing it, but here we are!

    @waldouey I played in the morning and it was not this bad. It was just the NOSLEEP TDM best maps server on NA. The only problem is that 9v9 when maps like Nuketown come up are really AIDS but normal sized maps were fun af and made me miss old CODs. New COD is so dogshit it’s unreal.

    @SweepTy_ If you're strictly a Warzone player, I could understand slow weapon leveling being an issue, but the CoD MP community used to love grinding weapons to a point where people would reset their rank just to start over. Not sure what happened. And yea 60-70 levels mean nothing. They could give us 20 weapon lvls and adjust the xp so that it takes the same amount of time as 70 lvls.

    Yeah can we also address the XP MP glitches and PS4 Exploits on #BlackOps2 @CallofDuty @Treyarch will be requesting a Refund if you can't get rid of 14 year long running issues...do better

    @JJCTTRPG The problem is that most people don't care about the quality of 5e because they don't want to try anything better. They're just fine with the mediocre slop they're given because they saw Matt mercer play it. It's like the people who only play cod or fifa.

    @InfinityWard Screen shaking for what ******* reason? This has been yalls issue since 2022, nothing learned. Youre gonna ******* learn the hard way.

    @Treyarch you guys NEED to put the setting back to make L1 and R1 the ADS and shoot buttons!! Please fix this black ops the OLDER cod has these settings.

  • MajorBuginator
    MajorBuginator 💿 (@MajorBuginator) reported

    This is part of the reason why. Games released on annual cycles and live service models. It's a min/max solution to extract cash and provide a bare minimum. I've bought CoD twice in my life. Once at a **** shop, once at a GameStop. Had a handful of friends that let me bother with other entries and they were confused that I'd bother with campaign.

    @Mesmeratize_ If you played w notmal humans who all don’t play the cod lien none of us do I’m sure you’d have 0 problems but somehow you need ppl 100x that only play certain games or cheat

  • SaberKong_
    SaberKong (@SaberKong_) reported

    I don’t mind them bringing back old cod games to resell on new gen consoles, but if you’re going to do that then PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD make sure the servers are actually ready to be playable. Bo1/Bo2 currently has WAY too many issues when it comes to 1/x

  • DownloadTwo
    RZ (@DownloadTwo) reported

    @InfinityWard @WhiteManReborn We are telling you now it looks just like MW2 and visual recoil in that game was horrible. You can barely see anything when firing weapons. Don’t wait for the beta, fix the issue now so your first impressions aren’t ruined. Holy brain dead studio.

  • mesnickerlicker
    WarioKhan (@mesnickerlicker) reported

    Treyarch and Iron Galaxy made an absolute dogshit port to Cod Blackops 2. Servers are absolute ****, bug that won’t let me join friends, and lag. Absolute awful launch and idc if it’s a decade long game. When you relaunch a game, the expectation is it should work.

  • SightGames1
    SIGHT (@SightGames1) reported

    @TheeGodric Started with overpowered RAA, & then they kept doing dumb sh!t with visual problems that controller players dont have to deal with. They pushed hundreds of thousands of players away from COD because of it. Dozens of mnk players I know stopped playing.

    @Bebop2Steady @JHub @InfinityWard Well yeah that’s the problem. You’ll never be able to please everyone. Trying to listen to a community this large is impossible because they all want different things and then they try to implement some of them from both sides and it ends up being a disaster.

    @Nick_Marseil nothing is plug and play anymore. Plug in Connect to internet( unless ethernet) Console update Sign in Download game Boot game Download shaders Then you can play, unless its COD then update requires restart.

    @05VauxhallCorsa @ModernWarzone You got stats to back up that 50% claim because by all accounts MW and MW2 weren't half as hated as the last couple of installments. Every Cod has issues but the last two I've stopped playing 2 months in...

  • itzSynple
    Synple (@itzSynple) reported

    @CallofDuty @TreyarchCM the bug has now progressed that from the exact same game, I loaded a save file and had literally nothing in my inventory. This is actually ridiculous. And the Argus attachment issue is still there. I have said this with every single zombies release for BO7. This game is actually fun to its core, but EVERY release has been soured by insane bugs and glitches. This is unacceptable and embarrassing. I just finished praising this map after completing the EE finally, and then I can’t even enjoy my experience afterwards. @Activision if this is the slop you enjoy feeding your fanbase since BO4, then I actually won’t be bothered to buy another CoD. Idc how good MW4 is if everything is ruined by game breaking issues. If a key part of your MW4 marketing is “hey, we playtest the games every Friday to make sure that it’s what the players want and that it has the least issues possible”, then what ******** have y'all been doing for the past 8 years.
