-
Hired_Assassin5 (@Hired_Assassin5) reported@CallofDuty Why is it 30 years later, many iterations of COD, everyone basically having a streamline stable internet connection, are you still having issues or ******* with the matchmaking? If your teams are so out of ideas, that matchmaking is a talking point, go to a 3 year dev cycle.

TheLastAMX (@TheLastAMX) reported@CallofDuty The problem is the bait and switch, the game always feels good during the beta and then 2 weeks after it comes out the skill based matchmaking gets cranked to 11

Mark Sholl (@Graphic__Mark) reported@JonnyCole98 @CallofDuty Then what is this "deeper problem" lol
-
Tiki (@iiSniatiki1) reportedTruth hurts more than lies, and the reality is you’re out of touch with the core community. We are actual cod players to you, we are not hating content creators, we speaking truth and positives and we trying to make understand and we trying to fix currently states of cod.

Shonen-sama-san-chan (@Not_Shonen) reported@ATVIAssist I have waited close to a month for a reply and I am getting 0 response for a simple fix, do your job and help the customer.

Masters LUFC (@StewMasters) reported@CallofDuty every time I create a Warzone class using an MPC or M15 it edits my ranked multiplayer class!! Running around every match with 1 attachment. Fix it
-
Frantic (@Jus_Davinvchi) reported@CallofDuty The biggest problem is time to kill right now Black ops seven is too long, but we don’t want it too fast so please in advance. By the way, I don’t see any marketing really on how to access beta or when it is an answer for that
-
NINEOUH🔻 (@NineOuh90) reportedI more meant the minimal changes part over the low effort part. Gun and Ball games have effort put in, those games have a lot of man hours and very talented people working on them. Issue is, the games suck in concept. MH is made in a similar fashion to COD, it just sucks less

The Grey Of Dulce (@TheGreyOfDulce) reported@TheGamingRevo3 I’d like to share my personal experience and explain why, after quitting the Call of Duty series following Advanced Warfare, I came back to the game many years later with the Black Ops 2 port. The features that brought me back after 14 years: "Domestic lobby search, no SBMM, P2P and slow pace gameplay, balanced map designes" I’m a 38 year old die hard Call of Duty fan. I practically spent my youth on this franchise from 2003 to 2013. For me, the peak era of CoD was definitely original MW2 and Black Ops 2. Although I loved MW2 a bit more, Black Ops 2 introduced something unique in CoD history: the "Search Preferences (Any-Normal-Best)" option. Thanks to this feature, I experienced the most level playing field of my life, completely free of connection disadvantages. Not having SBMM was also the best part. You could be the king of one lobby, and get absolutely crushed in the next. It felt like the natural ups and downs of everyday life. You simply cannot experience these feelings in the new games, because everyone in the lobby is basically a clone of you. The same K/D, the same kills-per-minute rate. Get one kill, die once. It doesn’t make you feel anything. After the dream-like experience of Black Ops 2, the franchise started mutating into something entirely different. First of all, P2P matchmaking was gone, replaced by a dedicated server system. The domestic lobby search feature from BO2 was scrapped; instead, they threw the entire Middle East and the Balkans into the same central European server pool. On top of that, they added SBMM and completely overhauled the map design. Instead of checking 2 or 3 sightlines while moving across the map, they increased the possibilities to 8 or 10, destroying map control and turning the game into pure chaos. I remember listening to an interview with a former Ghosts dev who left the studio that year. He explained that Activision explicitly demanded this layout so that someone playing an FPS for the very first time could still feel successful. He mentioned they speeded up the gameplay, opened up countless windows, routes, and mantle spots to create chaos, and implemented SBMM. The goal was to force everyone toward a 1.0 stat line—ensuring no one could completely dominate a lobby, but also ensuring no one felt like a total failure. I live in Turkey. The internet quality here has never been great, and it’s still way below world standards. I don't know the exact technical bottleneck, but after the shift from P2P to dedicated servers, playing CoD in Turkey became virtually impossible. We started experiencing at least a 1-second delay. During the P2P era before Ghosts, we never had such issues. Suddenly, I was dying before the enemy even appeared on my screen. After years of running a 3.0 K/D, my stats tanked to 0.7 - 0.9 in Ghosts and subsequent titles. Combining this massive connection disadvantage with a gameplay loop that was 10x faster and chaotic made the game unplayable. 13 years have passed, and the situation remains the same. In fact, I had completely quit playing for the last 6 or 7 years. But after all these years of longing, the Black Ops 2 PS5 port finally dropped. The very first thing I checked was whether it used P2P or dedicated servers, and if that legendary "Search Preferences" feature was still there. When I saw they were intact, I bought it instantly. I can’t put into words the joy I’m getting from the game right now; I feel like I've traveled back to the golden years. I’m playing on a perfectly level playing field with zero connection disadvantage. When I set the Search Preferences to "Best," it creates a lobby using only local players or, at most, players from neighboring countries. It never matches me with distant servers. Because of this, everyone plays under equal conditions. Despite 13 years of rust, I'm currently sitting at a 2.1 K/D. I will probably keep playing the Black Ops 2 PS5 port for the rest of my life, until the player base completely dies out.

Phillip Truong (@PT12uong) reported@CallofDuty The best solution to this problem is just not buying the games and/or playing any of your games.
-
Mr.Gamerstein (@iamTheKlap) reportedThis is the problem on social media now. @CallofDutyCM giving codes to people for bashing the game while the ones who still praise CoD are left with “better preorder for access.” This is the case in almost anything on X, negativity is rewarded. No wonder isles become insufferable
-
Gingagigger (@GingerPredictor) reported@thehonestletter 100% a money thing and an issue of substitute goods. A joint is cheaper than a beer and his more of an impact. People don't have money for both so they're sitting at home eating a pizza playing cod with a joint
-
Aaron (@Aaronmcclendon4) reported@CallofDuty Stfu you clowns. Take away the quick play features and make it to where you can only search for one mode than disbanding lobbbies wouldn't be a problem. Also make que times instant than it would be inspired by the original cods matchmaking. You absolute morons how hard is this?

Olivier Washington (@OlivierWashing1) reported@CallofDuty Fix the matchmaking, please

Frank (@on1yfrank) reported@ATVIAssist I have a problem with my account can you please dm me as I can’t submit a ticket on your website. It does not let me
-
Perry (@Perry2486X) reported@TheDynaMight By that logic all the other previous cod games are also terrible since players do the exact same thing. At this point it might just be a skill issue.

Kenshi (@KenshiGOAT) reported@xxlivind3ad guys , u have to go to the callofduty beta redeem site , sign in with ur activision account . Then u will see ur code for ur platform 👍🏻
-
That Nick Guy (@Crayzcapper) reported@KOSDFF Neither have I. Only reason I even play old CoD games anymore is for private matches with my friends and Zombies. Multiplayer's broken, campaigns are stale, the new games haven't even dome anything to renovate the franchise, so why even bother?

Bobbie-Louise💋 (@BobbieLouise94) reportedFor anyone having trouble not received there @CallofDuty MW4 beta key on email go on the redeem website again it will give you the console code on there. I’ve had to re type my code in on the website to get my console code. @InfinityWard #MW4 #CallOfDuty

Silencerr (@SilencerGG) reportedThe one thing id love to see @CallofDuty do is let us use the Camo's from old games, People Camo glitch all the time, might as well just let us use the past mastery camos with whatever guns we want

palotO (@paloto83) reported@CallofDuty I need help login into my account. The sms for 2 steps auth is not arriving on my phone, so I can’t login
-
cntryboy (@cntryboy520) reported@CallofDuty @CallofDuty the problem with SSBM for player like my self who hovers around a 1.0 kd is that I am not getting better by playing better players. I’m stuck in lobbies with players whose skill level is about the same as mine. There is no variety in the skill level in the lobby

Virtue Offset (@virtueoffset) reported@InfinityWard It shows a transferring error for me on Battle Net, it's probably nothing VERY EXCITED
