  @Dreamcast_1999 @ExoGhost I know, that’s what I said. Even with slower TTK, person who shoots first IS at an advantage. But they shouldn’t be guaranteed the kill, because shooting first isn’t always necessarily “skillful”, and it would also make gunfights kind of boring and inexistent. That’s the problem with a fast TTK, the person who shoots first often gets the kill like 90% of the time, regardless of skill. I’m only talking about COD right now. Obviously this is different for other games. Fast TTK works in games like Rainbow Six Siege because the mechanics and purpose of the game is very different.

  @Maithem61 Halo fell off since bungie left, gears is a third person shooter, DOOM isn’t a live service game, and COD is okay tho. Frankly, all 4 of those don’t have the scope of Destiny 2, so a D3 made by them would be extremely gutted.

  @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.

  The fact of the matter is you'll never have issues like this on console because you can more rigidly do quality control and optimize for a single set of hardware. People who pretend like this doesn't happen are either dishonest or only play like, CoD and Fortnite or something.

  The whole thing with subscriptions is that you need to scale it. Almost every subscription service either starts with loss for many years while they build up the service. We know Xbox aimed for 100 million subs or something, but are now around 30 mill or so (?) So they're far from their target, yet claimed to be profitable. But with expensive annual games like CoD it's probably different and not a good fit.

  Anyone else got broken augments in zombies ??? @CallofDuty @TreyarchCM I’ve had this before @CODPersonal but I was still able to keep 3 equipped after doing a restart. Nothing is working now and I can’t have 1 major 2 minors equipped at one time.

  @wqlts MW2 is the most overrated cod of all time. one man army noobtubes, akimbo models, most maps have bad design, and so many broken perks. MW3 is so much better

  I hope the rerelease comes out on Xbox, and the PC port gets updated to remove the RCE hacker problems as well. @IronGalaxy, please make it happen! We need the best COD (BO2) to make a comeback! (No remaster and no remake, just a rerelease)

  @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.

  @Herodownunder I could see them adding tiers and having "Premium" experiences like Fable, Horizon 6, cod, ES6, whatever, in the top tier only. The $70+ games. Then all the rest on a lower tier. Killing day and date for everything would kill the service.

  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.

  @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.

  @XboxTimdog The way this turns around is resolution/fps boost for backwards compatible CoD games. Fix the servers, 4K/120 fps HDR.

  @xangelink @CODWarfareForum @johnnyjl96 PS3 COD games online multiplayer is broken on a technical level, I don’t know if they’d get new “better” servers but I think they would either have to fix the underlying PS3 issue or it’ll be the same crappy servers but just exclusive to PS4/5

  @Rufus2k2 @NoBarkNoonan_ @Wario64 Let's be fair, both 2 and 3 deserve a remake treatment (2 is incredibly forgettable and has some bullshit, 3 is plagued by EA's retarded CoD-ification problem at the time).

  Surely they fix up the servers for Bo1 and Bo2 for Xbox as well? Would be really strange if they didn’t when CoD is owned by Microsoft

  @DamienHarrisEra @hadmyback @HATETHEREALME ..so it improved literally all the problems of the actual game while doing nothing to police itself from the worst of the cod community.. unsure what yalls obsession with grinding is. Haven't you all ever just... enjoyed a game for the sake of fun?

  I’m not sure if it’s a bug or intended but when you play with your friends on COD multiplayer it’s not allowing the party to vote on maps seems like the voting is only working for solos who get queued with parties but for some reason the party votes not working it won’t even let you toggle over to the map selections I’ve encountered this multiple times while playing with friends @CallofDuty

  Harry’s Balzania (@bottygerjoe) reported 58 minutes ago

  @DeekeTweak Let’s be honest. Xbox’s biggest focus has been finding content for game pass, not “how do we sell games” or “how can we increase revenues from game pass”. That’s very apparent. First step towards fixing that in 9 years was when they pulled CoD from the service.
