  @InfinityWard Fixing an error in the post. You told us what you loved. You told us what you didn’t. We hear ya but, we've put too much time and money into it that we can't admit it is a failed system. We tried to trick you many time's and each time you called us out on it but, we hear you and we don't care what you say but, at least we hear you. In the end of the day, we make the final call because we don't need you because our mommy acti says were too big to fail and mommy is the boss after all. We didn't want to email everyone in our database a code to the closed beta but we had to because no one was playing our game that we as a community have built together. This is not just our game, it's your game too. So, be the sheep you are and buy and play our game for the 7th year in a row because you know what they say, lucky number 7. Our luck has finally come, Damn you GTAVI. Please play our game when it releases. We have too much pride to go back on the system that we have spent time and money into just for it to fail because we are Call of Duty and COD never fails, we're just too big to fail. Why don't you call up Enron and ask them what happened. OHHHHH wait, you can't because they no longer exist due to having to file for bankruptcy.

  @ModernWarzone The good part is. He is a known pro so will be get unbanned by activision. The bad part is. If its an unknown legit good gamer they are in a problem because noone will believe them and stay perma (hardware) banned. Better stay away from cod if this is true and you are good

  Why is COD disabled @meesho_support on the app. What is the issue. I have not cancelled any order, then why. Please enable COD

  @InfinityWard And tweaking the recoil, id say its a good idea to improve reload times as well, reducing the pain of constantly being hounded down after every engagement because of spawns or "lobby balancing" Even fixing these glaring issues for weapons, server quality needs to be addressed.

  What has gaming come to where anyone who is actually good at a game is just called a cheater? Terrible Anti cheat and lobbies with insane sbmm are gonna keep on ruining cod but they don’t care to fix it they only care about the money they make on sales it is really sad.

  @InfinityWard Fix the input delay on the switch 2 port. First few updates this weekend fixed the delay when playing handheld. Still experiencing it a bit when using any wireless controller but it’s almost good. Still sensitive though and kept ******* up my aim smh

  @CallofDuty Day 1 of the closed beta nearly had none of these issues, once sbmm seemed applied and IW meddled in the background it was the same old issues with the servers and which are likely gonna continue into the full release

  yo @InfinityWard @CallofDuty weird issue i'm running into while editing. i have a separate audio channel for recording game chat, but for some reason, the enemy team audio is recorded to that channel while the audio for my team is recorded separately to the main game audio. fix?

  My take on MW4 beta after a day and 10 hours of gameplay @Activision @InfinityWard : First off , I wasn’t expecting this. The game is really enjoyable. Movement feels great, gunplay is fluid and fast, and quickscoping feels incredibly satisfying. That said, there are a few things I’d REALLY love to see changed before release : - SBMM We gotta remain realistic: SBMM is here to stay. I’m fine with that. But the current version of it is WAY too strict. SBMM should be loosened by a lot. A less strict system would still protect newer players while giving everyone more variety in their matches. Right now, it feels like every game is a CDL lobby. - TTK The TTK itself is fine to me. I don’t think we need to drastically increase or decrease it. The REAL problem is how damage is distributed across the body. Currently, outside of headshots, basically everything from your toes to your torso does the same damage. That’s the part I’d change. I’d love to see separate damage multipliers for: • Head • Torso • Legs This would reward players for actually having good aim while keeping the overall TTK in a healthy place. Right now, hitting someone in the toes vs. the chest doesn’t give you enough of a reason to prioritize better shots. - Aim Assist Aim assist is too sticky right now. I’m not saying it needs to disappear. Controller players should absolutely have aim assist. But it needs to be less aggressive and less sticky. Good controller players will still be good without aim assist basically locking onto every movement. - High Zoom Scopes There’s an issue with scopes above 4x that needs to be fixed. The reticle/scope aren't properly centered, which can make your aim feel inconsistent when using higher magnification optics. This has been an issue in previous CODs too, and it was eventually fixed. - Maps The maps are not bad , but they are all meh. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the maps we haven't been able to test will be good when the game is officially released. Overall, I’m genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this beta , its not perfect, but @InfinityWard seems to be listening a lot, there was a major difference between the first and second weekend. There’s a promising game here.

  @CallofDuty Not me yall need to fix ur game I turn my dead zones all the way to 0 and change my aim response curve to dynamic but it still feels like standard and its sluggish

  Ed. 😬 (@Darket696) reported 22 minutes ago

  @TheDazeel You don't even need multiple sequels. The problem is that every publisher is seeking that forever game. Cod, WoW, Fortnite etc, and as PlayStation has shown it's not something you can make happen by throwing money at it. One of the worst things to happen in the gaming industry is when publishers gained control of development studios. Yeah they got access to more money but lost much of the creative control.

  @akizuwz @InfinityWard Movement isn't the problem. The egregious amounts of rotational tracking aimbot assist is. You wouldn't hit half of those shots if you had aim assist off.

  @tminnzy Playing black ops 2 again was the most sweaty experience that I’ve had on cod for a long long time. It was not like this when it originally came out. SBMM is not the problem. There’s just so many more good players.

  @KiyyDumb Ive played every game since Cod 2 the big red one. Yes, it's very similar, they went out of their way to make it as similar as they could without upgrading the engine, was a very talked about issue with the game leading up to release lol

  Chris (@ChrisChillzz) reported 24 minutes ago

  @GernaderJake I think it’s more about the fact that people have an issue with him being “real” for his audience about not wanting to fake hype for Arc but always does it for CoD every year despite CoD every year being a rinse&repeat terrible game. But probs mean CoD is 7 fig deals.

  @charlieINTEL 3/10. I play Cod every year but thats propably the first year that I have no actual desire to play COD. Same mistakes as a 6y old game. Visual recoil. Movement is boring. Aim assist is broken. More focus on punishment than joy and fun. Terrible maps and horrible Warzone design.

  @InfinityWard Yeah, the only issue you still haven’t mentioned which is the biggest issue with the game and gonna cause a lot of people not to buy it sbmm. You’ve dodged answering about it for 2 weeks. There is a place for it called ranked play not in pubs

  Jon (@JonnyCole98) reported 43 minutes ago

  @InfinityWard The fact there’s not a single mention about matchmaking ******* says it all, you claim to want to listen to the community but you’ve done nothing to communicate THE most talked about issue. Disgraceful.

  Cachorro Bruce (@Cachorro_Bruce) reported 45 minutes ago

  @charlieINTEL Let me say: this game is clunky, unresponsive, aiming away during movement is a nightmare, aim assist more broken than ever, lot of visibility issues, bad performance, worse graphics than MW19, netcode issues. Same mistakes of every COD release/Beta. Beside of that, its good.

• 
  DeadSpacedOut (@DeadSpacedOut) reported 47 minutes ago

  @InfinityWard I know y'all may not have much say over this, but... remove SBMM, and outside of that, make the ttk a bit faster so it's more IW-esque, just a little bit faster, and fix the servers and netcode, cuz the beta was super inconsistent, especially weekend 2. also, weapon balancing.

  Smoke Menace (@SmokeMenace1) reported 48 minutes ago

  @tdawgsmitty So either tell cod what’s wrong with sbmm and how they can fix it and what would be an acceptable kd at the end of the game so they can work towards to try make u boys happy with sbmm Like if u got a 10 kd each game would u be happy with sbmm Or shut up about it

  @charlieINTEL Regardless of the matchmaking issues its the first cod since 2019 to have my *** sat down and just grinding and ive played all of them so its nice to have that feeling at least, sure it needs some tweaks but overall id say its good pretty good potential

  @MattCoze Generic. It doesn’t feel special anymore at all. We need to disconnect CoDs from Warzone. Let Studios develop their own engines again and just care about story zombies and multiplayer without the restriction of „it has to fit with Warzone.“ let them make their perfect CoD.

• 
  Sowle ⁴⁴ (@GuySowle) reported 1 hour ago

  @the_clay_bird @Apkalluu @ItsAdrin The problem with this is that you don’t understand how it works, not us. The system used in CoD is not designed around making fair matches, but about maximising player retention. It will happily give out pity matches or much harder matches if it increases engagement

• 
  Pygo (@Pygowsky) reported 1 hour ago

  @Headdband As someone who has been playing CoD on PC since 2007, the hacker problem will quite literally never be solved. It doesn't matter how much they work to make the AC better, the hackers work to make the cheats better also. The only way we had good MP without hacking was on CoD 4 & BO 1 when we had dedicated servers and admins could manage their own. Admins could just perma-ban cheaters from the server any time.
