  @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?

  @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.

  @Strydi_ @grayftn @PRlNCEOFLOTHRIC You don’t have a clue kid. You’re about to be disappointed. You might be the biggest retard thinking cod will fix their old games.

  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!

  @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

  Kinda awkward that Xbox, the owner of CoD, isn’t mentioned here so presumably they will be stuck with a broken 360 back compat version at 720p. Or maybe this was a timed announcement for PlayStation, which is still bizarre lol

  Bo7 is the worst cod we have ever had for network and bullet reg issues. It’s 2026

  @JezCorden Gamepass is these studios problem watch how good COD do now that it’s not on gamepass stop putting day 1 releases on gamepass

  Wally (@WaIIeser) reported 25 minutes ago

  @NerosCinema @JustPain889 I agree with that. Considering it’s ps5 servers only I wouldn’t hate the FoV slider, I just don’t plan on playing any other cod so once I adjust I won’t have a problem.

  @TheMilSimGuy08 Bunch of larpers that hate on the newest COD titles but would readily accept PORTS of the ol reliable without knowing anything about the servers or hacking issues

  @revenant_MMXX Had a similar experience playing a Halo MCC mod the other day. They replaced all the reload animations with new "tacticool" variants and the guns were held in a way more akin to CoD. The issue is the new reload animations actually made some of the guns worse because it increased their reload times. I was backpack reloading like mad just so I didn't have to sit through animations.

  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.

  @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.

  @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.

  @thicc_stick_boi No longer a Sony fan here but Sony at least has some success with their games recently, occasionally. Xbox? Not really... What was the last one besides the oblivion remake and forza that did well for them? Live service ones like CoD and sea of thieves? I'm not sure

  @EXODUS935 @Sugarkytle6969_ @AleexBlaze BO3 on PS4 doesn’t have a cheater problem. The reason there are cheaters are current COD is because of crossplay. So that just negates every point you made.

  Krieger 🍂 (@DrKriegerPhD) reported 36 minutes ago

  @Altair_laahad @LegacyKillaHD @floridabee4 Hellblade 2 made a profit and Double Fine made their most profitable game 5 years ago. Meanwhile Bethesda barely breaks even with Starfield, and Activision turns COD into live service slop to deal with the fact that Game Pass cannibalizes their sales. Should they "get ******"?

  @DooM49 Not really, EA haven't been the same since the real developers left, too much aimbot slop and becoming like COD and CS2. REDSEC is AIMBOT heaven. **** gets broken every update. 2042 got better overtime until 6 came out, 6 is the last BF I'll buy/play. 2, 3, 4, and 1 are Elites.

  @tumorrbtw @VCTScrims Bruh CoD and CS see the same issues. IEM Rio was criticized for the crowd as they left for anything that wasn't a Brazilian match. CoD crowds go dead silent if OpTic lose as most of the fan base has them as the favorites. This is just sports crowds in a nutshell.

  Literally my parents. Trus pas dibilangin, "Lah terus kenapa ada pilihannya COD? Berarti bisa ****?" The problem is, every time they did it, they never had cash for it.

  @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.

  @tdawgsmitty If you think MW4 will make you say “COD IS BACK”, game is already broken and will be ruined with cheaters.

• 
  Colin (@BasedCLC) reported 51 minutes ago

  @TheRickYouTube Yeah, I mean, BO2 is probably the best COD, and it's been infested with mod menus and hackers for years at this point with COD doing nothing to fix it. They should give back to everyone.

  So, why arent u guys bringing this to Xbox One and Series S/X & PC. What about that contractual obligation to bring CoD to Nintendo? Its not like the older versions r broken and have been hacked for years & the only way to play them safely is via plutonium on PC.

  @LordFarquaazdj @SpawnYaardReply @klobrille Even crap cod releases sell well. Them putting it in GP, as well as the quality, affected sales. I think it should be 6 months for that to go to GP, instead of 12, but they know people will buy it at launch now. People want their cod fix and won’t wait

  And @asha_shar thanks for basically giving cod exclusivity back to PlayStation since they won’t have the mod menu problem like old gen and xbox has. Giving us so many reasons to buy an Xbox right now 😐
