  @Psycho_XV The size of CoD games is genuinely ridiculous And that's without all the content expansion that come with the average live service game that just makes a game bigger and bigger God should give the kind of black magic they used on Helldivers 2 to all the devs

  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.

  @frogarchist Why does it always surprise these idiots that the people who care the most about the franchise are the most vocal to point out its issues. You think CoD fans give a **** when Halo sucks? No. Only Halo fans give a **** when Halo sucks. A monkey could understand this.

  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

  @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.

  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.

  @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

  @BITCHISSMESSI @TheRickYouTube Big time agree. At this point I wish they just release one massive live service game built how the new MW3 was and just actually give us good content for it over time. Maybe a yearly campaign expansion or something. Like COD Mobile, but fully fleshed for consoles and PC.

  @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.

  No ****, 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.

  @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.

  @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

  @InfinityWard @CallofDuty Whatever you do. DO NOT buy this game. They let DMZ on MW2 go to cheaters. They will do the same with this game. Its an easy fix with canted guns but they refuse to fix 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.

  @xxyourdisease @DetectiveSeeds That’s not the point. It’s never expected to get the money back. The mandate was to round out game pass since a subscription is thirsty for content. And you don’t want a subscription service with only halo gears cod forza. The culprit is GP growth stagnated.

  Something Treyarch NEEDS to work on for their next game is making every Zombies map release feel special again. Zombies maps are dropping with very little buzz these days, even when they’re genuinely great like Totenreich. People are moving on quicker than they ever have before. I think this comes down to three main reasons: 1. Oversaturation of COD Zombies: There have now been so many maps released - and a lot of them in just the past couple of years - that a lot of people feel burnt out, even when the maps are decent to good. 2. The same/similar Zombies systems for six years straight: The core systems have remained largely unchanged for six years, which has completely killed general interest in the mode. Contrary to what a lot of vocal people say, the systems themselves are good - they just shouldn’t have stayed this similar across so many games. I loved Cold War Zombies when it first dropped because everything felt fresh and new, and that’s a big part of why it hit so hard at the time. Like anything else though, it eventually gets old. The same thing happened back when we were getting a Shield in every single map. Ultimately, Treyarch just didn’t make BO7 feel different enough to re-engage people. 3. The story needs to do something to bring people back in and attract new people: I actually think the BO7 Zombies story has improved in quite a few ways. The OG crew’s dialogue is a breath of fresh air. Despite that, interest in the story has never been lower. The main reason is that a lot of people felt let down by the BO6 story. Reckoning’s failure to properly pay off arcs (or straight-up ignoring too much of them) has left people hesitant to invest in the story again for fear of being emotionally let down. There are some absolute gems in the BO7 Zombies story, but it lacks a strong foundation. People were so hyped for the BO6 story because Cold War had laid such good groundwork to build on. Richtofen, his family, Janus, Peeks. This is made worse by the fact that the story now feels both too random and too formulaic at the same time. Things just seem to happen on a whim (Sentinel Artifact coming back, OG crew returning out of nowhere with a “Welcome to the party!”, Josiah Shem Order robes, etc.), while the overarching narrative has become fairly predictable. I genuinely don’t know how they fix this level of disinterest. I think it probably requires starting from scratch. People have gotten so lost in the story that a lot of them have no idea what’s even happening anymore. It’s full of references to old Aether lore (which only the hardcore fans understand) while dangling Chaos elements in front of us (again, mainly for us nerds), but newer fans don’t get any of it - and even a lot of the older fans end up disappointed because those threads don’t really pay off either. The fact that BO7 did so many of the things’ people were seemingly asking for - bringing back the OG crew, returning to more awesome environments, having those fantastical and whimsical intro/ending cutscenes every map - and yet people still aren’t really paying attention, shows just how hard it is for Treyarch to read the room right now. On paper they’re doing a lot of the right things but the payoff fails. It came at the wrong time and without proper build-up. They’re basically repeating BO3 (the most beloved Zombies era) and it’s not landing the same way, largely because BO6 and BO7 came back-to-back and due to it almost too much retreading on the past magic. I’m guessing a lot of BO6 content got cut or rushed to make room for BO7, which left its story feeling incomplete, lacking dialogue, and with broken/contrasting arcs and missing intros. It’s a classic case of “be careful what you wish for.” Cold War wasn’t everyone’s favourite at the time, but its story wasn’t something people were even craving by the end of BO4. However, it still managed to build an audience because it felt new and fresh, while also delivering satisfying arcs, proper payoffs, and strong undercurrents that built hype and mystery for a potential sequel. It was held back by a lack of cutscenes and a set crew, but out of all the modern games, its story had by far the most general interest. It’s still the most well-rounded story of the modern era in terms of how everything comes together. Its chapters (beginning, middle, and end) were clearly defined. The current story is just difficult for most people to follow. Jumping between eras has killed any sense of momentum. BO6 should have come out as the direct follow-up to Cold War, with BO7 coming after that. The moment they started introducing Zombies and Gods pre-Cyclotron was when things started falling apart. Going to the past with Vanguard, to the future with MWZ, then back to the middle to continue the cold war story, then going outside of time in BO7 has colossally ****** things. Likewise, the OG crew’s return also shouldn’t have felt like it came out of nowhere - it should have been slowly built up and teased throughout BO6. Making their return part of Project Janus would have been a much cleaner way to do it. Richtofen could have started by trying to bring his family back, then gradually remembered his old comrades and decided to save them too. That would’ve been much easier for people to follow, could’ve been cryptically teased through intel, and would’ve given the Janus mystery (and Janus Richtofen’s ending) way more weight and payoff. So where do we go from here? think they need to do another reboot. They need to reset things again. It’s unfortunate that it’s necessary, but I don’t really see another option. Nikolai’s plan failed. Things are a mess once more. There’s just too much baggage at this point, and Treyarch needs to try something genuinely fresh - both in gameplay and in the story.

  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.

  @Glen1383551 I hate to tell you but most people who buy GTA 6, CoD, Madden, etc. aren't the type of people that play smaller scale or indie games when the entire industry panders to these people, a crash is not *impossible* (though would likely look very different compared to the 90s)
