🐢🇫🇷φ FALLAIT VOTER CHONCHON φ #JLM2027🇲🇶🐢 (@Melenchon4Ever) reported@TheXclusiveAce @InfinityWard 90% of gunfights in COD happen in CQC. Using the remaining 10% of gunfights that happen at medium range to discredit my concern is not a fair argument Ace. Yes. " Will. " I'm standing by that. We have absolutely no information about the build they were using in that gameplay, so yeah, you could be right. Things could be less overpowered than i imagine them to be, but... You know damn well that : -1. They would never use the most broken build possible for a showcase. -2. A ton of MW2019 weapons had 3/4 bullet to kill damage models. -3. Now look at your own illustration. No recoil control was being applied, i'm a PC player, i'm hitting those 4 shots. -4. Last but not least, this is coming from the very same studio that brought us SBMM and an extremely fast TTK, both of which they openly stand by as ways to give less experienced players a better chance to get kills. Therefore, one could easily assume that this is just another way for them to make the game more accessible to very inexperienced players, ruining the experience for everyone else. This mechanic needs to be taken seriously, keeping in mind that betas always feel great because nobody has unlocked their full set of attachments or killstreaks yet. I didn't tag you to beef with you. I tagged you because your voice has REACH, and if this turns out to be what i think it is (instant death), THE COMMUNITY will need you to speak about it.

Gaming Central (@GamingCentral26) reported🚨 BLACK OPS 1 & 2 ARE ALREADY GETTING DESTROYED BY HACKERS ON PLAYSTATION 💀 Players are reporting XP exploits, instant max prestige and even NEGATIVE XP issues. Activision has reportedly disabled some playlists while investigating. We really got the OG Black Ops experience back 😭💀 #CallOfDuty #BlackOps #PlayStation

Rodrigo Leitao (@rodrigoleitao58) reported@CallofDuty @CallofDutyCM You need to fix the cheating problem, I don’t care about guns if the game is unplayable

livmo04 (@livmo04_Ishin) reportedhey @IronGalaxy @Treyarch @CallofDuty there’s a glitch where if you exit a ground war lobby the selection thingy continuously goes up
-
The Hooded Knight 🦇 (@hoodedknightt) reportedHey @XBOX @asha_shar you want to make Xbox profitable again? Want to sell a lot? 2 things. 1. Remaster and fix the old CoD titles, BO1&2. Right now they’re the most sold and played games on PlayStation with the port. You own CoD.. why is Xbox so unsafe and unplayable? 1/2
-
Skullking266 (@ZachCanis) reported@BeePlayingGames @ATotalDork That’s because Infinite Warfare was too similar to BO3 and AW and 3 games in a row of Not boots in the ground is the same problem, they should rotate between different time periods AND gameplay, its not complicated
-
izzy ⍟ (@wizzld) reported@DesertReaperr But you’re more worried about an old gen cod? 🤡You are the epitome of dumbassry. Straight brain dead kids with low iq and skill issues. Yall should stay playing Roblox
-
Fuzzy (@FUZZYPickLE530) reported@JaySage756 @AlexFon25 @KeshavBhat You guys are missing the point entirely. The biggest issue has been Activisions management of the franchise. This blowback is solely due to that, and will take years to regain positive consumer sentiment. 2025 was a historic low for COD, and it has very little to do with BO7
-
Sedi (@DragutaSedi) reported@JHub @CallofDuty Its not gonna change the root problems of lack of a skill gap compared to old cods, mainly the skill floor. Theres a reason cs is still played 20+ years layer
-
Wave (@zucik_) reported@CallofDuty @vinksw please fix the servers
-
Damien Barker (@barker_damien) reported@Insictis @InfinityWard They cant they got in trouble for it that's why they had to change it.
-
tcgtski (@xuser2025t) reported@CallofDuty can you please fix Black ops 1 party issue? I party up with my friend and get out against him 99% of the time. I just want to play with my buddy on my team like old times, PLEASE.
-
SaberKong (@SaberKong_) reportedI 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
-
. (@iilF_) reported@ATVIAssist I need support and activision support website is not working with me
-
ZooL (@ZooL_Smith) reported@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!
-
Leo (@spencer_h0820) reported@InfinityWard Screen shaking for what ******* reason? This has been yalls issue since 2022, nothing learned. Youre gonna ******* learn the hard way.
-
AztoCaBlazing (@Buddhalover89) reported@ApexLiveComms Jesus Christ the audio issues 😱 Bangalore smoke don’t working again the devs fuggin suck Love playing rank an a whole damn team just appears An the hacking / aim botting this **** is the new cod
-
KerozenGC (@KerozenGC) reported@InfinityWard @WhiteManReborn Every year you get the exact same feedback about these issue, every year it stay that way, every time you make it worst in the next title, stop talking, we need actions, remember mw2’s "we’ve seen your feedback, but we believe it’s the right choice. We wont change it"
-
n176ae (@n176ae) reported@CallofDuty @CODUpdates reset everyone that did the XP glitch on BO1 to like prestige 1 level 1
-
Dr. Coomer HD (@hd_coomer) reportedHey @ATVIAssist @Activision any reason I’m still getting the Attestation status applied? I have the most up to date BIOS, secure boot and TPM 2.0. The link to the website says nothing on how to deal with this specific issue.
-
Brandon Williams (@GodlyNose) reported@LookAtMyMeat1 gamers dont demand good games anymore, theyll keep buying cod every year so why should any game dev make a good singleplayer game when live service games make money.
-
By's (@Bys_64) reported@RomKoppel @Pirat_Nation Don't play it directly from steam, it has a security vulnerability, alongside other old cod games that allows the takeover of your PC, play it with plutonium launcher which fixes the security issues and with less cheaters.
-
Aaron (@Aaronmcclendon4) reported@Ko6ys__ @CallofDuty Bro this game is *** unless they fix the one man army danger close noobtubes than sure bring it ******** back
-
MajorBuginator 💿 (@MajorBuginator) reportedThis 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.
-
̷s̷c̷a̷r̷s 🇳🇴 (@scarsw_) reported@Marksman The cod community has this problem where they say less is more but don’t let cod be creative in the actual base editions of games it’s so weird. I remember when they added wall running to maps then all the botg bots were saying it’s terrible 😭😭😭
-
CuteDave (@The_Chauncey) reported@Zirksee @dillanconner31 @Esaif09 Ppl learned nothing from 2K and COD. As soon as they announced PC launch and timing based catching, knew this would be an immediate issue
-
Sedi (@DragutaSedi) reported@JHub @CallofDuty Its not gonna change the root problems of lack of a skill gap compared to old cods, mainly the skill floor. Theres a reason cs is still played 20+ years later.

Jason George (@menboo_exoxo) reported@ManuelProano04 @ATVIAssist Speak to @ReedNerd1 about this issue

☆ pompom purin (@pompompoosay) reported@A_Holidae @LilithLovett yeah but the problem is when u also factor in price differences too - for me the newest cod coming out is $150 - i could go to a themepark where i live for $50-80 . additionally these prices paired with the dedicated fanbases equals insane amount of profit where they could lower
