    So I tried to cancel this one. In the worst process of your automated support, her unnecessary questions and wasting a lot of time finallly booking got cancelled. Now your AI support is saying, the service I booked was COD and she can't process the refund. Factually I

    @Painreliefdrgs reverting back to a MM type that they already know works and is currently being used in the ports is a high maintenance task? How so? If these games were developed by indie devs or if they were free to play I could understand it *slightly* but these are paying customers buy a product from a AAA franchise with a publishing company worth billions of dollars. Not to mention they’re the ones that went on about how COD would now be a “live service model” meaning updates, listening to and addressing feedback, and making sure the games last over time.

    @CallofDuty When are you going to fix the update bios firmware bug that makes it impossible to play the game on older hardware. How many thousands of players need to complain on forums before we see a fix. I pay 70$ for a game and all I get is nuketown. Kernal isnt enough for you people.

    @CallofDuty Yeah, I’m not buying MW4. This has gone beyond frustrating. The community has been asking for the same thing for years. A matchmaking system like BO2. You keep hiding behind corporate PR statements that read like they were generated by ChatGPT. Stop dancing around the issue.

  • stevelondeau
    Steve Londeau (@stevelondeau) reported

    @TylerTeeP I still can’t play anything aside from big map casuals. Come on @msigaming update your BIOS already! Battlefield is fun, but it’s not Black Ops Royale on COD. April 22 was 3 months ago. You don’t have a fix for this yet?

    @JonM97866981 @ixherx @ExoGhost It's called game mechanics. Yk like dropshoting which has always been in cod. Problem is if you never add new mechanics you also aren't adding a skill gap. And since cod has been around 20+ years if you never add something new to learn the whole community gets good and its boring

    @HeresHavi @assassinscreed Eh I get that but COD HQ is a huge problem because you’re forced into it with certain games which adds to the game size and (poor) functionality. Animus Hub is more a visual and immersive thing that lets you quickly switch games.

  • cr0wHCS
    CR0W (@cr0wHCS) reported

    @Zhauntiz @Dayscarr Stream sniping and match betting is more of an issue, which is mainly why ranked is unplayable. Again, if you play for over 8 hours a day, you’re going to bump into this stuff more often. The leaderboard would be plagued with cheaters if it were even a quarter as bad as CoD.

    @CallofDuty I don't how and why it took you guys this long to figure this out, we've been trying to help you guys fix the game for ACTUAL years, it feels like you disregard what we say

    @CallofDuty Maybe you should fix the issue with split screen multiplayer… focus on fixing the fundamentals. Outrageous it’s taken over a month for you to fix.

    @LoustrTheRoostr @Clayster @OctaneSam Okay so no real proof bc you just yapping with not fact. People can have sound proof rooms and wire a fire alarm inside of it and it should hit code no issues. I highly doubt even in the past a major cod event was skipping code for fire alarms that could trigger an even shut down

    @xpertfusion3 I think at the end of the day it’s a problem of ambiguity. Since the post itself is so vague, as well as the post that initially announced “Open” matchmaking back when BO7 introduced it, it causes way too much confusion. Genuinely COD has some of the worst comms I have ever seen

    @CallofDuty Why do you offer support for Black Ops 1 Port for PS5 but you're neglecting the Xbox version? There has been server related issues for like a year now. Please fix it
