  @SutikyFingas @digitalfoundry Cloud gaming won't work for a lot of PC players - you need good, stable internet connection, even for singleplayer - Input lag makes it a terrible choice for competitive FPS games like CS, Fortnite, CoD, Battlefield - No/limited modding

  @GetSteven3D97 @ILoveSports_55 Not every game. 82% of PS5 games are completely fine, full on disc, no major performance issues, completely playable 100% complete. But there have been some big dissasters like: Avatar, Howarts Legacy, 007, Indiana Jones, CoD which are unplayable from disc

  @AlexMidnightAM @GearsofWar Please understand that I ran a community group of approx 22500 people for about 10 years. I'm not just making claims out of thin air I'm not suggesting nobody agrees with you, people do But overall, I watched player interest surge and plummet based on certain changes The pattern was blatent that movement and how it impacted Gnasher play was overwhelmingly the main part of what encouraged players to play or not play The issue stems from the claim you just made because people believe that Gears fans will play Gears games no matter what, but that's proven to be inaccurate I've played E-Day already so I'm talking generally about previous Gears for the sake of this general conversation, not about E-Day as I'm not permitted to yet But talking generally about previous Gears, SO MANY PEOPLE stopped playing when Gears took an approach of movement restrictions / punishments, that this is specifically the reason why your example games aren't well populated. Gears players WONT play no matter what If casual players don't want to play the game because they don't want to learn the game to a higher level, I don't see a problem in that. I'm a casual player at CoD, I don't like the sliding. I recognise it's a skill I don't want to learn so rather than asking the devs to change it for me, I play something else that I actually want to play

  Something I have seen few people bring up in regards to Halo Campaign Evolved is the issue with how the hit markers do all the heavy lifting in regards to making the shooting feel "satisfying". If you boot up Halo CE, play it for a bit, then go to Campaign Evolved, it becomes instantly noticeable just how botched the shooting feels especially if you disable hitmarkers. Enemies in the original CE, had clearly readable shields and flinch reactions to being shot. Grunts ****** around spewed blue blood and predominantly did backflips upon death. Jackals spewed purple blood,had an overexagerated jerking motion that left them open to follow up shots on their bodies and heads and would either fly backwards or stand for a moment when they died along with their shield going down. Elite's shields flared and then visibly "popped", they spewed purple blood, would flinch from weapons like the Plasma Rifle, and then flopped on their back or stood looking dazed for a moment before dropping. With Hunters, their shield visibly reflected most projectiles, they spewed orange blood, and made audible grunts to being shot and dying. The Flood also had some interesting reactions to being shot. With weapons like the AR, impact points glowed green for a moment after impact. Not to mention you could dismember them. They also spewed a gross green fluid and also had overt falling animations upon dying. In the remake a lot of this is toned down. Blood across the board is barely noticeable. Enemies don't flinch anywhere near as much. Especially when it comes to shooting a Jackals weapon hand. Half the time it felt like I wasn't hitting it, had to turn hit markers back on to confirm I was, in fact, hitting their weapon hand. The new ragdolls also have a tendency to completely glitch out and either fold in on themselves or jitter around. The Flood can look especially bad when they just burst into gibs and none of the effects are visible so they just disappear. All in all, the hit markers are indicative of the fact the shooting in Campaign Evolved feels a lot worse than the original game and are just there to give the illusion the shooting feels satisfying in the same way they are in CoD to make that game feel satisfying.

  @KAMMIEKAMZ Hey, I was just tossing some solutions. Sure, I see people crashing, and I had my own crashes, and I said what fixed them for my situation. I'm not trying to toss shade or to throw hate because it's easy; I'm just trying to help from what I've learned. Maybe COD has been a bit lacking in stability, but it could genuinely be the PC you're running. I used to have bad crashes leading to requiring a full system reset to fix. I'm not sure if you're willing to do that, but if you aren't, I'd just wait before playing ranked because crashing in pubs is one thing, but crashing in ranked is a whole other thing.(By the way, I've played a good amount of ranked matches. I'm currently Crimson 1, and in all the ranked games I've played this year, my game has only crashed 3 times.)

  @Dcroft Agreed, let’s see what they change. 99 COD should be the only acceptable fix.

  @CallofDuty @EWC_EN Let’s fix dead ops arcade a mode that takes 4+ hours to complete. 4p squad is crashing consistently. Wasting our time. Also why can’t I use more than one perkaholic for chickens? Use another that last one disappears. And be consistent dogs and ravagers should not 1 hit kill us…

  @RagerrrYT Best part is losing players means nothing they got thier sales and fanbase, they don’t need a always online service to bring content costing them millions a month just to keep the damn thing running like CoD ping or Fortnite.

  @PID_NCC @zhygss @ItsHapa Prestige 16 doesn’t break it y’all are just dumb, and haven’t touched old cod in so long. Any prestige above 15 just shows a checker box for the icon. The checker box is a placeholder texture. Typically the way they crash or freeze you is setting something on your profile to text or a value that is outside what the game can handle. This is how they crash bo2 on the 360 and pc and PlayStation unless you have a modded copy of the game that handles the value and tells the game to not crash when it sees it but instead do nothing. You can go onto the “classic” bo2 and load mods that set your prestige to 16. The “infection theater clips” were community patched by setting entries on the top of the leaderboard to crash names. If you have friends with them saved you can still find them and whatnot. when you sorted by top of any leaderboard back a when they came out you could use that to get to the profiles with the clips. Nowadays it will freeze your game by loading profiles up there that have invalid text characters. It’s essentially that same exploit just in other spots of the game. Knowing these guys I’m gonna say they typically don’t do that **** unless you’re particularly annoying or a real douchebag.

  @ATVIAssist A support agent just closed my ticket by falsely claiming only Apple can fix a server-side revocation. Activision servers explicitly revoked my 'Sign in with Apple' token, locking me out of my 5-year mobile-only account (Hell-N-Back). Apple cannot access your game servers or look up my backend data. I have already provided my unique UID and my secret Player ID as absolute proof of identity. I need a Tier-2 Technical Supervisor to manually clear the broken token from my UID and link the Hell-N-Back data block to my temporary Activision account. Please review my open case.

  @BishopGab49062 @PlayStation Physical disks havent had the games loaded on them in years. Physical disks hold a license to download the game. If a company pulls that download file, your disk is still worthless. The majority of your game library already relies on the company keeping their servers on. If you all wanted to "save gaming" you wouldn't have t given in to microtransactions, over priced cosmetics, gatcha games, and live services in the first place. You wouldnt buy yearly slop releases & multiple remasters of the same game multiple times. You all created the sorry state the industry is in by constantly making every "bad decision" profitable & then crying about it later. I feel no pity for anyone. From the people that buy COD every year only to beg for Nuketown & Shipment as the only maps they play, to roster updates for full price for every sports game, to every failed live service that lives off of whales dumping money into basic casino gambling with no actual payout... Of all the things to cry about, game disks that dont even have the game on them is one of the dumbest things to cry about.
