  @XBOX @XBOXSupport @Microsoft Can you tell me why I got suspended for this LFG group name for a COD Zombies game mode named Rogue Run - Endurance. I can't appeal the ban cause its a "shorter duraction period", and there no way to reach out to the enforcement team after talking to several support specialists. I can't be the only person with this issue.

  @dkdynamite1 Emblems are returning no doubt. Its a port. Cod TV ain't needed. I hope ps3 data stays. Hope there is no crossplay. If ps3 data saves this isnt a problem. Idk about this one.

  @Justathought76 @GOP_is_Gutless No it’s not’ it’s responsibility and structure! There is NO structure in teens anymore they are too busy playing GTA/COD in RT!😩 This is why they are pushing Fkr the Draft to start & to require 3 yrs of Mandatory Military service by age 25 M/W !

  @KeviSkillz If they remove COD tv there won’t be any issues. PS3 servers won’t be playable with ps5 either

  @ArcticBlasts @ForwardLeaks @scryocat Those are offered by an account duplication glitch i remember seeing those when bo3 was the current cod, my friend got level 1000 cause his friend duped his progress. Not hard to do some research on it.

  @beyond_fps @roger_creus_art @synaesthesiajp the issue is they all are the same... yes there are very minimal small differences, but the core gameplay loop you are doing is the same. People have been criticizing ubi this since fc primal/5. it's like if cod devs would create a new game and it's medal of honor.

  @PaulTassi I think the problem is that there hasn't been a huge game, recently, to prove this to be true - the giants (Warframe, Roblox, CoD Zombies, etc) have and seemingly, will always be there to play.

  @scampylinguini1 @LegacyKillaHD Even when they went out of their way to exclude COD from the equation to paint the worst picture, they admitted that Game Pass was subsidizing their low performers. The model in service of building content had found an equilibrium, but the leadership ****** it up with price hikes

  I hope the entire team who worked on the latest call of duty is let go because this is some Ai filled dog ****. It’s like they just used the game to test out Ai spawn systems that ***** with the game outcome. How are there cash tournaments and ranked ? Live service is ****** #cod

  @ccliffy90 @PigeonGoGaming Forza 5 sold 5 million lol! The problem with PlayStation is most of the owners are casual gamers or online gamers! Theres a reason cod and 2k sell best every year on ps5! That’s why I think these ports will in fact sell millions easily

  @raratoman @IronGalaxy What do yall not understand about it being a port. Since this leaked it’s been “add this” “add that” “are you going to fix this”. It’s just going to be a port of the same ******* game and it’ll probably play like **** and be full of hackers in a couple hours from cod tv.

  @SnakeVenom3000 @Reply_Addict No it’s not. Yeah that all contributes but the reality is Xbox doesn’t make any money because they don’t sell enough games because they get them day one into a sub service that has to be subsidised by Microsoft. If Xbox wasn’t attached to Microsoft it would have been shut down years ago because the subscription business it follows is not sustainable ms has been able to foot the bill because it’s a trillion dollar corporation. They’ve already taken cod off the service why would they have done that if it was so sustainable and I’d bet my life more day one games go because they know they can’t keep the service anywhere close to where it needs to be to put Xbox into a healthy position. You’re talking utter delusional shite.

  @Shpeshal_Nick @whocarestcg1 The problem is how do you rectify it... I think if MS came out and said that no games were day and date going forward and did the same as with COD (12 months minimum) people wouldn't be happy with that. If they did that though their sales would improve massively so it's tricky!

  @BattlefieldComm I hope you guys realize your expiration date is Oct when cod mw4 releases unless you fix the insane amount of issues that persistently plague this broken game and it's absolutely stupid ranked scoring system and squad rules.

  @wqlts It’s better on Xbox and has been playable on there this entire time you ******* dorks. But sure go nuts and spend money on some ports that will have issues that y’all will seethe about for months till the next cod comes out then y’all will seethe about that.

  Most D2C ops teams report their RTO cost as one number: the reverse courier charges. A pain, not worth having, especially if you are prone to bleed in competitive industries like fashion, duh? That number is wrong. Not lying, but actuallyyy quite incomplete :/ While we were auditing orders from a fashion D2C brand shipping 8,000 orders/month, 2,400 of them RTO: Ops team's reported cost: ₹48/order, but actual all-in cost: ₹194/order! They were underestimating their RTO burden by 4x. Where the other ₹146 was hiding: - Courier forward charge - ₹65 (the part everyone tracks) - Courier reverse charge - ₹45 (often missed — return shipping isn't free) - Reprocessing cost - ₹30 (someone has to open, inspect, re-tag, restock) - Resale delay carrying cost - ₹40 (inventory sitting idle isn't free either, it's capital not converting). - Packaging + handling - built into the above but rarely broken out. Multiply that gap by 2,400 RTO orders a month and you're looking at a number that never shows up clean in any P&L line, it's smeared across logistics, ops, and inventory. Why this matters beyond the math: founders make decisions on which categories to push, which cities to ship to, whether to tighten COD verification, based on the ₹48 number. The decision changes completely at ₹194. If your ops team's RTO number only includes the courier fee, you're not seeing the real cost. You're seeing a quarter of it. Calculate your number: forward courier + reverse courier + reprocessing labor + carrying cost of unsold inventory. Then compare it to what your ops dashboard currently shows. The gap is usually bigger, and btw, we've cracked at finding such gaps!

  @wllmlew but whats the problem with the backwards compatibility versions? Locked to 720p. Hackers all over the place. Had my account stolen and reset on BO2. BO2 servers barely work and when they do its empty. Xbox 360 P2P servers. COD TV which a video to get a mod menu. Input delay.

  Head-On Crash on Sandwich Road Sends Two Drivers to Hospital; One Airlifted by MedFlight BOURNE, Mass. — A head-on collision on Sandwich Road Wednesday morning left two drivers injured, prompting a multi-agency response and the temporary closure of the busy roadway for nearly three hours. At 7:33 a.m., Bourne Police Dispatch received multiple 911 calls reporting a crash with injuries. Officers, along with the Bourne Fire Department and Massachusetts State Police, arrived to find a red 2004 Jeep and a white 2023 Toyota pickup truck that had collided head-on in the westbound lane. The Jeep was operated by a 35-year-old man from North Carolina. The Toyota pickup was driven by a 43-year-old man from Pocasset. Both drivers were injured in the crash. The pickup truck driver was transported by Boston MedFlight helicopter to an area trauma hospital. The Jeep driver was taken to a hospital by ground ambulance. Because of the severity of the injuries, the Cape Cod Law Enforcement Council’s Crash Reconstruction team responded to investigate. The cause of the crash remains under investigation. Sandwich Road was closed from 7:33 a.m. until 10:15 a.m. while emergency crews treated the drivers, investigators processed the scene, and the vehicles were removed. Bourne Police thanked the Massachusetts State Police and MassDOT for their assistance with traffic control and road closures.

  @CedarPosts Well, Harris Teeter being bought by Kroger out of Cincinnati is the source of the problem. Lance ( HQ’d in Charlotte) merged with Cape Cod about a decade ago.

  @MarathonGG_ I would say PvE but who knows. I quit playing and went back to CoD / BO7 and I'm having fun again. What separates them? It's one tiny thing. Respawns. Instant. Respawns. No one really gets to play Marathon. People only die in Marathon. I think that's the biggest issue.

  @GamingSinceNES And yes, GP cannibalized sales, but not ALL sales. Good games, like Expedition 33, which also released on GP DAY-1, sold a lot. The same applied to COD: BO6. To say GP was their problem, yet not once have Asha or Satya said it did, or is ridiculous.

  Dug into what’s being done on the permitting front yesterday and had a meeting with EU Commission team where we discussed the topic. Turns out they are at least attempting to solve the permitting problem. Directive 2025/0400(COD) has lots to like: reduced and harmonised deadlines; expanded use of tacit approval; greater flexibility in applying environmental rules; and a presumption that renewable energy, grids, storage and related infrastructure are in the overriding public interest. Directive currently making its way through EU Parliament. Worth noting that EU’s flagship REDIII directive already included lots of permitting reform. The challenge has been transposition at the national level. The deadline was July 2024. So far, only Denmark had fully implemented it. And herein lies the crux of the problem - Member States drag their feet on implementation of EU Directives. You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink it. You wouldn’t know that if you only followed the discourse on here.

  @JayDook People looking like pretzels to defend Xbox and GP is both predictable and hilarious. Here's a novel idea, a business model that works, used by PS and Nintendo- sell games AND have a sub service that doesn't eat all the lunch. CoD is just the first indication of GP failing.

  @xpertfusion3 Ummm no it doesn’t. Only in the last two cod games has this been an in game option. MWIII had a huge issue with pc players.
