  @CallofDuty The worst map ever made in ANY FPS! SHOULD HAVE LISTENED TO THE CORE FANBASE, now we’re all gone for good. BO2 and OG BO ports are doing better than your new games. LEARN FROM THAT EXPERIENCE AND FIX YOUR TRASH!!! @CallofDuty is DEAD!

  @TheGhostOfHope UI is one of the biggest issues with COD today. How have they not fixed **** yet

  I had fun over the past two weekends playing the MW4 Beta. I hope @CallofDuty fix whatever they need to fix to make it even better because I don’t trust any streamers or content creator word because they complain about anything instead of enjoying the game.

  @Jchillz4o4 @InfinityWard @Activision This whole clip is more about the gun then the AA whoever at IW thought that gun was a good idea is dumb and should be fired tbh but aim assist is definitely broken

  @asha_shar @XBOX @ATVIAssist BRING BACK MARVEL ULTIMATE ALLIANCE 1 & 2 + X-Men legends 1 & 2. If I own the game, "My" XBOX, should be able to play the games I "own", not be locked out over licensing issues. This is some degeneracy that needs to stop. Thanks. Starting to feel like I should scrap or repurpose the xbox hardware to build my own "personal gaming console" with less restrictions. I'm not asking for much.

  @XeoMafia @Senninsage reduction, but that came at the expense of losing CoD out of the service. Xbox gamers today have less 1st party content coming to them in the future under Asha And all Xbox hardcore can claim is we get console exclusives which we had under Phil

  Why is COD disabled @meesho_support on the app. What is the issue. I have not cancelled any order, then why. Please enable COD

  nobull (@nobullindia) reported 15 minutes ago

  What kind of non sense is this? The order which was cancelled was delivered today..entire cod amount was collected and only 23 out of 30 units delivered…the customer care bot is the cheapest version bought it seems, keeps giving the same answer. Who do i even talk to to resolve this issue

  @InfinityWard Yeah, the only issue you still haven’t mentioned which is the biggest issue with the game and gonna cause a lot of people not to buy it sbmm. You’ve dodged answering about it for 2 weeks. There is a place for it called ranked play not in pubs

  @Rick72044810 @InfinityWard @CallofDuty I've been mouse and keyboard since doom. I knew after the first match something was up. Just getting melted when I have the jump. So last night I actually tried a controller. This game is broken. Needs cross play off options. Let the limpers play with their crutches.

  @charlieINTEL Let me say: this game is clunky, unresponsive, aiming away during movement is a nightmare, aim assist more broken than ever, lot of visibility issues, bad performance, worse graphics than MW19, netcode issues. Same mistakes of every COD release/Beta. Beside of that, its good.

  @GloriousEggroll @ForHonorGame @Ubisoft Playing CoD MW2 on my stream machine and have no problems with quality of the impenetrable or cheaters. And in the age of AI sounds like lazy *** issues or active anti-Linux attitude instead of a skills issue.

  @ExoGhost The problem is people like you who claim these games are the “worst ever” and then three years later claim they were “perfect”. How do you expect Activision to listen to a retarded fanbase? We don’t deserve another good COD.

  @DETONATEDcom Mw4 can be polished with ttk and movement and have good gunplay but maaan for a next gen only cod to look worse than mw2 its mental, i dont know if its because of the switch 2 support but the lack of sharpness and detail is insane on console @InfinityWard needs to fix it

  My take on MW4 beta after a day and 10 hours of gameplay @Activision @InfinityWard : First off , I wasn’t expecting this. The game is really enjoyable. Movement feels great, gunplay is fluid and fast, and quickscoping feels incredibly satisfying. That said, there are a few things I’d REALLY love to see changed before release : - SBMM We gotta remain realistic: SBMM is here to stay. I’m fine with that. But the current version of it is WAY too strict. SBMM should be loosened by a lot. A less strict system would still protect newer players while giving everyone more variety in their matches. Right now, it feels like every game is a CDL lobby. - TTK The TTK itself is fine to me. I don’t think we need to drastically increase or decrease it. The REAL problem is how damage is distributed across the body. Currently, outside of headshots, basically everything from your toes to your torso does the same damage. That’s the part I’d change. I’d love to see separate damage multipliers for: • Head • Torso • Legs This would reward players for actually having good aim while keeping the overall TTK in a healthy place. Right now, hitting someone in the toes vs. the chest doesn’t give you enough of a reason to prioritize better shots. - Aim Assist Aim assist is too sticky right now. I’m not saying it needs to disappear. Controller players should absolutely have aim assist. But it needs to be less aggressive and less sticky. Good controller players will still be good without aim assist basically locking onto every movement. - High Zoom Scopes There’s an issue with scopes above 4x that needs to be fixed. The reticle/scope aren't properly centered, which can make your aim feel inconsistent when using higher magnification optics. This has been an issue in previous CODs too, and it was eventually fixed. - Maps The maps are not bad , but they are all meh. Let's keep our fingers crossed that the maps we haven't been able to test will be good when the game is officially released. Overall, I’m genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this beta , its not perfect, but @InfinityWard seems to be listening a lot, there was a major difference between the first and second weekend. There’s a promising game here.

  @akizuwz @InfinityWard Movement isn't the problem. The egregious amounts of rotational tracking aimbot assist is. You wouldn't hit half of those shots if you had aim assist off.

  I think its time we have this conversation because this has gone on long enough and the scene is TRYING to get more serious. If Warzone ever wants to become a proper E-sport on the biggest stage and keep growing we gotta start addressing issues in these scrims/ tourneys. We have to wait 30+ minutes between games because: - players take forever to join - randoms can join the lobbies and the admins have no way of pausing the lobby/ kick them effectively - the lobbies STILL crash after being up too long.+ Not to mention the sheer number of game crashes and a rejoin feature that only works half of the time. These wait times are AWFUL for players and viewers alike. Viewership tanks and players get iced/ tired (especially EU players/ viewers). Additionally we STILL don't have custom match rulesets where we can ban items that NOBODY wants in the tourneys. All of these things are terrible for the scene and advertises/ tourney organizers looking to get involved with Warzone are no doubt put off by it. The game and the comp scene can be so great if an ounce of effort is put in. There is so much money already being pumped into it, so why not invest in the infrastructure to make it orders of magnitude better to both watch and play. @ATVI_AB @CallofDuty

  @InfinityWard incredibly disappointed by how this game turned out.. the long ttk just as in the previous 3 years makes burst rifles and shotguns almost useless while the oris is the most broken gun in the game. but the worst thing is the map design.. flat, small and simplistic.

  @IntCyberDigest I remember CoD Warzone randomly crashing all the time and I thought it was my GPU. Grok identified Memory Integrity as a possible culprit, and recommended disabling it. Problem never reoccurred.

  @InfinityWard Warzone is borderline unplayable on Switch 2. Multiplayer is perfectly fine for the system. But Warzone is still a massive issue from my many hours of testing. Leaving the PS4 behind in a year where GTA is competing for your customers, was a massive mistake.

  @TheJazCat @InfinityWard If you're good, you'll play with good players. What's the problem with that? It's not right to be exceptionally good and play with average players.

  i had some friends run into that issue in game where they were able to hear their own team, but were unable to hear the enemy. i'm sure that was reflected in recordings. just a heads up before the full release (i doubt they'll see this, but just in case) @InfinityWard @CallofDuty

  @MapleMomEh It's weird how streamers the ones who get paid especially don't see the issue funny? Bc y'all need the game to stay relevant. 2 out of 5 for the real players. @CallofDuty desperately needs a deep reset. And all 3 development companies need to merge. & give us 1 cod every 3 years.

  @JoeViller @BattlefieldInte I can switch between any other battlefield and have no issue. This game doesn’t move like the others. If I want to play COD I go on there this isn’t COD.

  @MistYo_ @Nitroh @InfinityWard that's the other part of the problem, depending on what SBMM bracket you're in, you're playing a totally different game.

  UNALIENABLE RIGHTS (@F1sT) reported 57 minutes ago

  @CODPersonal Your study is useful for what it measured. Classic built tighter, more predictable scoreboards. Open was more mixed. Queue time and ping were a wash in your 50. Team gap was basically the same. Half the matches on both systems still ended short-handed. That last part is why this cannot be the whole story. Score spread tells you how the lobby finished. It does not tell you whether the fight you saw was the fight the server played. Dedicated-server CoD still predicts and interpolates on the client. When packets lag or a replicated object is late, you get doors that are open on one machine and closed on another, peeks that look stolen, and deaths that feel delayed. This old clip is that problem in plain sight — not “SBMM set the server to 100ms,” but the game filling in a guess until the real state arrives: Your 23ms average in Phoenix on fiber is a good connection window. It does not measure peek advantage, rollback, or whether Classic’s tighter skill pool is buying those lobbies with longer routes for other brackets. You already said you cannot speak for the high-skill people who call pubs ranked. Netcode feel is the same kind of gap: your table cannot see it. So the clean join is: • Your data: Classic is tighter. • The clip: tighter/outcome metrics are not the same as honest gunfights. • Both systems: quits still gutted half the games. Commit to one system, publish how much ping vs skill is actually weighted, and stop treating scoreboard tightness as proof the middle enjoyed the fight. Players do not rage about a 37% spread. They rage when the door was never open.

  @InfinityWard Potential to be good. Obviously matchmaking is too sweaty and needs to be tweaked but my main issue is that a Modern Warfare title needs to feel like a Modern Warfare title. Not just look the part. We need bigger and more realistic maps, not just cut and paste 3 lane maps.
