monke (@ok16080) reported@chorteunite @faya_04 first of all, it's not just balancing that's a problem, it's optimization and just the sheer visual noise from a bajillion abilities from random characters second of all he just asked for games never said what kind lol i mean if he wanted multiplayer games there's mc, fortnite, overwatch, r6 siege, tf2, even cod games have less bullshit going on even with their **** optimization despite them being ***

Polsia (@polsia) reportedA 1,500-PHP 'Honda piston' on Shopee is rarely a Honda piston. Built SELYADO to fix that — verified OEM parts from CAMPI-aligned distributors, COD-shipped to Filipino riders and roadside shops, QR-sealed authentication on every SKU. Live soon.

Vyre Qwixrs (@Qwixrs) reported@Treyarch @CallofDuty can we implement like a crash report or something so people who actually crash can get their SR back losing SR to crashes is insane
-
I am Fear (@DAMMIT666TMPDAN) reported@asha_shar Can we do something about memory issue on Xbox? Games are high now a days and it’s not like they are getting smaller. COD is 250GBs of crazy. 4tb expansion is crazy expensive. Can we not just use external drives now? What’s the issue with this?

QB (@quellyb5) reported@CallofDuty this game is trash….. 1 no Audio… 2. Doesn’t matter what gun you use everything shoots the same and my playes off in 4 bullets… can’t hear when people grapple.. like it’s hella annoying so much for billion dollar company 😭😭 fix this ****.

Ash (@Ash1589488) reported@OpticVenomz @SpawnUpgg It’s a cod problem not a pc problem

Tushar (@TusharShirke18) reported@zomato I had a disappointing experience with my order #8436063224. I had already paid online, but when the delivery executive arrived, he said there was an issue with the delivery app and asked me to pay again in cash (COD).
-
Spartan🏴☠️🖤 (@Spartan3319) reportedI think the major problem with SBMM in CoD, is that it cannot measure the enjoyment of social interactions in matches. When someone cracks a funny joke in gamechat, does something silly in game, or even the conversations people have, that ultimately increase retention, it CANNOT be measured by data and algorithms.

Kaizer Yousuf Hossain (@KaizerNYC) reported@CODLeague Treyarch–please bring Standard Matchmaking back to Quickplay in BO7. The new Open Matchmaking is literal HELL. The game is now an unfathomable sweatfest. I've never in my 30+ years of gaming ever seen anything like this. I die immediately upon spawning, I'm matched up against players who play as if they're gonna die in real life if they don't win and dominate, and the game is no longer fun or playable remotely whatsoever as a result of this. How it was before with Standard Matchmaking was literally perfect. Please bring back Standard Matchmaking to regular Quickplay matches. I can no longer play the game because of the new Open Matchmaking issue and honestly, I'm extremely crushed because of it. Everyday, I attempt to work around this issue in various ways, and I only find unfathomable disappointment and heartbreak in realizing that the game will just no longer be fun or enjoyable because I'll be up against players who take this game 1000 times more serious than I do. If you guys won't change it back, I need a refund asap. I bought the game based on how it was with Standard Matchmaking. This new Matchmaking System dramatically changes the way the game plays and this is basically false advertising, as there was no warning or message prior to buying it that things were suddenly dramatically changed in terms of how the game functions at its core. @Treyarch @ATVIAssist - Kaizer

TheCutthroatGuy (@TheCutthroatGuy) reported@ModernWarzone I think part of this issue is COD doesn’t allow time for things to brew. If there’s (as you claim) roughly half of the player-base that like grapples, then maybe grapples deserve to stay around for at least a full year and give the haters more time to ajust. I meet a lot of people who cry about anything different no matter how innovative not just grapples.

TheRedPixel (@theredpix) reported@FilippoTarpini Examples of successful titles shipping on proprietary engines that are "indies", or at least started as in before making millions in revenue, also made by very few people 1-9 Roblox Minecraft Don't Starve The Witness Dead Cells (2018) Hades Celeste (2018) Teardown (2019) Animal Well (2024, started in 2017, took seven years) Factorio (2020) - 6M+ copies over $300 million in revenue; supersedes many AAA releases in market impact. Nothing else does what it does. Stellar bespoke engine example Enshrouded (still on EA from 2024) - 5 million copies Teardown(2022) - 4M copies Noita (2021) - 2.6M copies, around $35 million in gross revenue And these are all very high-impact / high-revenue Indies. Many of them outclass AAA, even "AAAA" productions. Several of these titles also release to the public in <3 years of development Beyond that, I'm mostly talking about big multi-billion-dollar companies such as Microsoft or others. That do have the budget to hire enough engine programmers to make an engine that can dwarf Unreal Engine, and make a better business case. Well, in fact, they already do that, for Cod, Overwatch, Forza, Flight Simulator, etc. I just think it was a bad idea from MS to use it for the Halo Franchise mainly (and prob also the several dead on arrival/axed ue5 titles such as Redfall, Fable, and other canceled projects). Core issue I see is that UE5 culture is impregnated with genre-centricity; this kills project viability to be an actual hit. Beyond even Engine technical shortcomings, Epic has pushed a very particular mindset for the engine user base that's very hard to fight. And this is impregnated on several titles. Hundreds of them

Ahsan (@micro_pot) reported@TheGhostOfHope It’s not working because COD sells their code to hackers

𝑨𝒔𝒕𝒐𝒓 𝑰𝑰 (@astor_II) reported@Leave_MeBee I mean I agree although in the case of high profile live service titles that aren’t planning on having sequels I would say player count can (but not always) indicate the quality of the game, with a few exceptions like COD having high player counts despite how bad it is.

Zelda Garcia 🏳️⚧️ (@zelda_g7) reported@Jayouth99 I mean tbf, 2K, FIFA (FC whatever) and CoD are the most common of the "we selling games every year", but there exists others. Personally I take no issues in these kinds of games but I feel like those who do should not buy them yearly

The Rant 365 (@therant365) reported@Alten2475 @xShephardx For a remake, the expectations are that the department (Xbox, and of course Halo Studios) which literally exists because of the franchise, would show the same love and respect for the source material when remaking it as the developers did when creating it. From the terribly written changes to cutscenes to the bugs despite heavily reusing assets to the horrid enemy AI that was clearly shoehorned in, Halo Studios couldn't do that and instead put out a blatant cash grab and that's the first games they've released in 5 years. For mainline games, fans have asked for a title to keep the feel of the old Halos while delivering a complete, polished package. 343 has again failed on every front (besides MCC which is fantastic, but is just remasters and even that launched to horrid server issues) - Halo 4/5 changed the look but had great graphics at least, 4 had a great story but very weak multiplayer and shoehorned in COD loadouts that don't fit Halo's arenas; 5 had a terrible campaign but did have great multiplayer, it just strayed way too far away from Halo gameplay and felt like a different sci-fi game that melded with Halo. Infinite nailed the gameplay and offered a great semi-reboot that had a ton of potential, but their free-to-play multiplayer was horrendously implemented because they had nowhere near enough content to work and it took them ages to add content expected at launch (like co-op, despite the game clearly being designed for it). 343 has shot themselves in the foot every release and even when they do something good (Infinite, especially given the landscape at the time as COD wasn't liked and people were looking for a good arena shooter) they managed to completely fumble the ball. The studio is a bloated, inefficient, mismanaged mess that has talent but doesn't know how to use it properly and is run by morons. It isn't Halo fans that did any of that, it was 343 and Microsoft and them alone.

Botter83 🇨🇦 (@HarryBotter83) reported@YDbeatz I dunno man... The real issue is they need to fix SBMM first. As much as I agree casuals should never have been created, it's unfortunately the only way for a lot of people to have fun. I think its also hard to define "beginner". COD has been around for 20+ years and Warzone has been here for 6 years now... There are very, very few "beginners" left. And those beginners are protected by SBMM anyways. At what KD do you cap it at? and should there be a cap? Why should your skill level determine the amount of fun you get to have on the game? I've got a 3 KD in BR and around a 2.5 KD in resurgence. So I'm good, but definitely not a demon. However, every single pub lobby feels like a game of top 250 ranked. Every single player in the lobby hits their shots, plays positions well, runs as a 4-deep stack etc. If I make a single mistake, my game is over. If I want to play that competitively, I'll go play ranked - WHERE SBMM SHOULD EXIST. If I'm just messing around and want to have some fun, that's just impossible in pubs, especially as you get better and better at the game. And don't get me wrong, I don't want bot lobbies either. Shooting bots gets boring really, really fast. I just want a little bit of variety in my games. Some games I should frag out, some games I should get fragged on, and some games should be a mix. But that never happens. I have to sweat my ***** off in every single gunfight, every single game, every single time I play - That's just not sustainable. And put yourself in the casuals place... They get to play once or twice a week for a couple hours. Whether they are good or bad, the current state of the game, outside of casuals, makes it nearly impossible for the majority of the casual community to have fun. Until they address SBMM, the unfortunate reality is that casuals is here to stay. I'd be confident to say that the majority of the player base in warzone right now plays casuals because it gives them at least some feeling of accomplishment. Call it a participation trophy if you want, but I don't think they care. Not everyone wants to be top 250, and not everyone wants to grind to get better. Most just want to turn the game on and have a little fun. Sure, they may not win a ton of games, but even if they're getting a few bot kills before losing to a real team, they're at least getting to have a little bit of fun, which would be impossible to do in pubs. I dunno, maybe I'm wrong. But, instead of thinking casuals needs to go away, I think activision needs to do a better job of addressing SBMM so that the "casuals" can still have fun in pubs.

BiggieShmac (@BiggieShmac) reported@ishytonwalls I wish I had people to play with during MWZ'z lifecycle, most of my friends either didn't care about CoD or would constantly crash on MWZ so they quit the mode, still didn't stop me from soloing every little thing you could do tho😭
