  @S_Dog167 @Treyarch @IronGalaxy Crossplay should never include pc anyway, movwmwnt has never been a problem on any cod and crying over sbmm still is just incredibly embarrassing

  @GenePark the problem with the "most popular games on earth are ugly" is... people will never ever accept GTA with graphics of ps2, people will not accept the witcher 4 to have graphics of ps2 or ps3 era, people will not accept COD to be like medal of honor in ps2 or ps3

  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.

  @Brawlhalla why can i run cod on near max settings perfectly fine but the second i que into a ranked game on ur game i start lagging immediately? i think i can come to the safe conclusion that its time to fix ur servers instead of adding new characters to the game

  @wrenfps @Reave Well, the issue is we ain't even looking at a good player here. In every single clip, he has the low ground, almost always on the ground, like this is CoD. Bro is literally a grunt from Titanfall 2. People like this used to be free kills, lmao.

  @wqlts It’s better on Xbox and has been playable on there this entire time you ******* dorks. But sure go nuts and spend money on some ports that will have issues that y’all will seethe about for months till the next cod comes out then y’all will seethe about that.

  Like i knoe the stg, the mp40 and the akimbo dbs were terrors but the whitley id genuinely like the most broken gun in cod history and it doesn't even compare to **** like the bum *** fmg9s or the brecci or whatever old bullshit yall would call op back then

  @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.

  @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 ******"?

  @x3Sophiie @charlieINTEL peopel use input lag, wall hack, aimbot, AI cheats and XAIMs, Cronus Zen on PS5, XBOX AND PC on the LATEST Call of Duty release and you think for one minute @CallofDuty is going to go out of there way to make sure this doesn't happen on a game 15 and 12 years old, delusional.

  @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.

  @MarathonGG_ I would say PvE but who knows. I quit playing and went back to CoD / BO7 and I'm having fun again. What separates them? It's one tiny thing. Respawns. Instant. Respawns. No one really gets to play Marathon. People only die in Marathon. I think that's the biggest issue.

  I hope the entire team who worked on the latest call of duty is let go because this is some Ai filled dog ****. It’s like they just used the game to test out Ai spawn systems that ***** with the game outcome. How are there cash tournaments and ranked ? Live service is ****** #cod

  @OrionLupus @unknown152022 @The_One_Boom There’s virtually no input lag on the native 360 games… the emulation is what causes that, it also causes weird analogue stick curves where dead zones are stuck at like 30% too. The Xbox one/series emulation for cod is awful.

  @BirnoOCE Hardware ban would prevent them from cheating they would have to fully replace their ip address and there whole entire setup this would do wonders instead of allowing them to make new accounts to keep cheating, cod has same issues

  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.

  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.

  @Shpeshal_Nick @whocarestcg1 The problem is how do you rectify it... I think if MS came out and said that no games were day and date going forward and did the same as with COD (12 months minimum) people wouldn't be happy with that. If they did that though their sales would improve massively so it's tricky!

  @xProMvz Bro honestly stfu, you have no right to call someone a no life when you have been playing in ******* bot lobbies since bo3, every new cod that has ever come out after bo3 you refused to buy it because of a “skill issue” so bro get ******** off the internet… respectfully 🫵🤡

  @ChrisO_wiki This is a problem of the computer game / CoD generation I suspect. These crappy arcade style fps games give a generation of kids a false sense of how warfare and fighting really works. (Good for Ukraine I guess)

  @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

  @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.

  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!
