  @MazeAteThat Gp clearly cannibalised sales, if it were so good why remove COD? Why buy if you can rent? This is why games are in trouble

  @NerosCinema Anyone still playing COD...I don't know. I get the pros, cause they're pros. But if you are a casual still playing COD, just quit. Quit playing. Quit buying it. Find something else to play. The franchise will either die or they'll fix it. Either is better than what we have now.

  @tyzr7x Some playlist and sniper setups are painful af to play i agree. But bo7 was an amazing sniping cod before the stelok laser nerf. And suprisingly there are combos of sights and set ups that make it feel better, better connection to shots etc. The issue with every cod is while its the new cod they do these broken updates on the side that mess up the bullet registration, the feeling of the shot and a bunch more. Then certain days and certain times (region dependent) will give you amazing lobbies or absolute *** lobbies. Its unplayable if you dont experiment and find the right combo per given state of the game. Its horrible to do to the player base I know.

  @TheRickYouTube Are you f***** kidding me? Is CoD that mind numbingly brain dead, like a 🐨? much we tell them to not remove features ain't broken, they do it anyway. It's every blunder after another. It's like Activision is stripping Call of Duty for parts make it beyond unplayable. 🤔

  @guinnessstache False, Warzone still has a good player base. Yea they need to fix the ranked play with cheaters still and crazy that we are still having this issue but the new MW4 looks to be a good cod this year hopefully this is a big move in the right direction

  @jadeknight7 @TheNCSmaster True they are placing all their bets on live service, gacha, 2k/FC and COD bros to move to PS6 and make their money from micro transactions and I hope that console is the worst ever

  @CallofDuty This is confusing - matches take dramatically longer join, ping is much worse, and all ~600 replies to this post are extremely negative. Was there an error? Did you guys crank up the skill-based dial instead of reducing it? Are you going to respond to the community at all?

  @XavierNukes Weve had jetpack COD and it was ******* dreadful. COD needs to stay grounded but also movie to a 3/4 year release schedule and not a yearly. Thats their problem.

  I'm definitely in the minority here, but if they ever do a Call of Duty Zombies adaptation... I do think a Live-Action Movie Franchise would be the best possible option and would be far more interesting than a TV show or something animated. Here are my reasons... • We've already seen lots of the Zombies story cutscenes in animated form, would be more interesting to see how it would look in live-action. • Seeing the Zombies maps brought to life in live-action would be incredible. • Doing a movie instead of a TV show would allow for a MUCH larger budget for the film. A TV show wouldn't get as high of a budget. COD Zombies deserves a high budget. • I want to see COD Zombies on the big screen (in theaters) • It would be more popular as a live-action film franchise compared to an animated TV series. • I know COD Zombies storyline has a lot of lore, but majority of it is fluff, let's be honest. They don't need to put literally every element of it in a proper adaptation. • If they did an animated series or movie, I'd imagine they'd use the same voice actors. But the problem with that is it wouldn't really work as an "adaptation" in the same way because most people would see it as being canon and that could cause confusion. • A successful COD Zombies Movie could open up the possibility for spin-off shows and other animated projects anyways. But I do think it should start with a COD Zombies Movie based on the World at War Zombies story.

  @FungalisedJay The problem is that it means nothing. We don't say shooters and Sports, we say Gun and Ball because it's specifically COD and EA Sports Games.

  @CODUpdates @Treyarch @ATVIAssist day three of tagging you guys until you acknowledge the issue with matchmaking in #BO7 it’s taking anywhere between 5 to 8 minutes to find a match, and then the lobbies are disbanding right after every match. If this was intended revert it please

  @Jay2Goat_ gun and ball gamers face the same issues as gacha gamers for me, like i get the game is fun but damn yall really letting them milk you out of THIS much money? at least gacha can be f2p, but buying a new CoD/2k always feels bad, cause its fun but damn ts can just be a free update.

  @ExoGhost The problem is that there’s like 100 cod games and the community is split between all of them. Gaming died long time ago! Nothing but hackers and cheaters. Plus there no actual good game out everything is garbage !

  RICO TO TREASON (@F1sT) reported 29 minutes ago

  @WarzoneAlerts The false positive scam by infinity ward. In the summer of 2026, the charts lit up with a familiar name. Call of Duty: Black Ops II — a game originally released in 2012 — sat at the top of the most-played PlayStation titles in the United States, ahead of Fortnite and the newest entries in the Call of Duty series. The internet celebrated. “Nostalgia wins.” “This is what the community really wants.” Screenshots of the rankings spread like proof of a collective verdict against modern CoD. But the numbers don’t say what many people claim they say. There are still more PlayStation 4 consoles in living rooms than PlayStation 5s. Millions of those PS4s are plugged into older televisions and monitors that never saw 4K or 120 Hz. For a lot of those households, the newest Call of Duty games have become something else entirely: expensive annual purchases stacked on top of already high console prices, battle-pass pressure, and $20–$30 skin bundles. When the cost of keeping up feels like a second rent payment, people stop keeping up. So when Activision dropped a simple, relatively cheap port of Black Ops II that runs cleanly on last-generation hardware, a large group of players did the practical thing. They played the game that still worked with the equipment they already owned. No new TV required. No new console required. No feeling that the game was built for someone else’s setup and wallet. That is not the same thing as a mass declaration that the community has rejected modern Call of Duty and chosen 2012 forever. It is what happens when a significant portion of the player base has been priced out of the current product and is left with what they already have. The charts recorded activity. They did not record preference under equal conditions. The loud celebration online treated raw login numbers as a moral victory. In reality, those numbers also measure who can still afford to show up.

  2. Riot revolutionized the game by discovering 144hz. Riot bought the monitor for COD, but when he went on GD he realized that the ship was eaiser to control and that many levels were broken. Why do people clown riot for this? that discovery would only push the skill cap further.

  @PigeonGoGaming It was going to fail no matter what. Core gamers don't matter to Sony's bottom line. Most are on live service games or COD or Sports. The core audience is small and shrinking as costs are getting higher and digital sales are not as good as PS4 gen.

  if MW4 does badly it might be good for the future of COD, but also at the same time if this game is genuinely great and it flops i’m going to crash out.

  @kaiju_carver @avataryaya_ Tokon did the cod tactic. Where they release a "beta" right before the game releases, when in hindsight it's more of a demo. Because 2 weeks is not enough time to fix or add things needed before a game releases

  @Creatoroflyfe Because I have eyes and have watched gameplay I’m not going to buy I quite like fps games always preferred battlefield but that series has the same problems cod does of being infinite slop factories for people who only play 4 games a year.
