Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:
-
Jake (@jmetallo15) reported@webbie2495 @xpertfusion3 I dont even think that would be the issue. It would be Activision C&Ding them since they got greedier with the whole cod points stuff post bo4. There are clients made for every old game up to bo4 (none for ww2 yet) and cod 1 - bo2 hold the most players rn at 2pm cst.
-
Shook Nate (@natethirtyeight) reported@Mr_Rebs_ How many of the “pioneers” of FPS games still even work there? How many of them were laid off? How many people bought and/or played those “best” games? Who did they dominate? Certainly not CoD or live service FPS games.
-
Pinknin (@Pinknin123) reported@TodTheWizard Ah the trilogy I was referring to was the N Sane trilogy! I wanted to play it, but unfortunately, it was only in English... Considering that COD games tend to get Korean localization and dubbing quite often, I hope they do Crash someday too (Also Idk why IAT is region locked :/)
-
Bryan (@EldenLord93) reported@PlayStation Just so you know there's not gonna be Fortnite And COD enough for you guys to fix this shameless decision. While you kill an option for consumers and take away movies from another service in your platform and killing the store for ps3 and Vita you guys are on a row of bad stuff.
-
John Gets Gaming (@john_goetz) reported@asha_shar Sell COD, Elder scrolls, doom, fallout, Spyro, crash, and anything else you didn't help make
-
Angel (@DiscoInferno41) reported@MinModulation They don't think how any of this works and the scale of things and how the **** they try to trend chase like the call of duty audience when they made halo 4's multiplayer for that crowd it doesn't work because the cod players have ******* cod for their fix
-
Drillz (@DrillzOX) reportedSurely someone knows how to fix my BIOS issue. My BIOS Version/Date is American Megatrends International, LLC F3b YY 3/13/2025. My motherboard is a B850 Gaming WIFI6. Looked up my motherboard and saved the file needed to update my BIOS, got to my BIOS and started going through the updating steps and got a "OEMID Mismatch Error". I genuinely have zero idea what to do or how to update properly so if anyone has a solution HMU ASAP. @ATVIAssist

Hood Pope (@Negrodamus175) reported@8BitClosedFist An avowed sequel would have been good they would have improved and learned from the issues in first game but looks like Microsoft is going to burn out all the established titles like COD
-
Dumbass McFuckFace (@JumpsPresents) reported@xZhmbs @CallofDuty It's quite sad. The stats have been broken for around a year but this new lock on them shows that they likely won't touch them again.

SteelWicker (@SteelWicker) reported@BTV_Cast @SulyceGaming Xbox lost of sight if the customer a long time ago, tried to fight its way back when the customer moved on, bought up too many studios to bolster Gamepass, and are now floundering as a result while also under a corporation that has shifted into AI and is beginning to hold the brand to standards they are unable to achieve. I don’t blame the current head of Xbox, she was given this mess just a few months ago and now has to right the ship in what I’m sure feels like a very narrow window of time as compared to the amount of leniency Phil Spencer was given. The industry as a whole is sharing some of the problems Xbox has, but I think Xbox remains a wholly unique situation because they are a platform holder and own some of the largest IP in gaming with Minecraft, COD, Halo, WoW, Overwatch, Forza, Elder Scrolls, Fallout, and Doom, among others. Many if their issues are self inflicted, but if Xbox goes down, a significant portion of the industry goes down with it.

Thomas Hart (@Fromcero) reported@IdleSloth84_ @DestinLegarie Gamepass needed a halo(og) caliber experience to sell the service but instead it got some 8/10 exclusives and after a very long wait the worst received cod in modern memory That time delay for getting anything worthwhile is a big deal too imo. The service existed for so long without anything particularly desirable on it that it ruined the brand image. Look at tv streaming services Disney+,hbo max ,etc, they all launched with content people wanted to and had to watch on the streamer and those services still retain goodwill in the eyes of the mass market. Paramount + didn’t and it took them a long time to get anything of excellent quality. So now in the eyes of the mass market paramount + is a bit of joke even if they do actually have some good shows now

HRBomber (@hrbomber) reported@aFriendlyPest2 We will see. I def see more big titles doing the CoD way before the inevitable closure of GP. Once they pull more than CoD, they will see abundance of customers cancel that service.
-
UnkWerks (@UnkWerks) reported@NerosCinema I don’t have a problem with the cod launcher… I like that Warzone is in the same app as other modes, it doesn’t require me to leave to go to a separate app and if I don’t want to install single player or multiplayer or the 3rd mode then I don’t have to…
-
ItsMeTheBrokeboi (@wllmlew) reportedPublic Service Announcement for all of those people who played Black Ops 6 on Xbox under the COD HQ game launcher. This may work for PlayStation as well but not positive as i didn't play the game on that platform Download the newly separated game from the COD HQ and launch the game. It will kick in the achievements that you got previously. After launching, popped 35 achievements for 735 gamerscore. and the achievements when it was in the COD HQ don't go away. Your playtime on black Ops 6 does not transfer.
-
00Buck (@EpaleCompare) reported@Nick_Marseil 90% of consumers aren’t console warring on X about the issue. They either play COD and GTA and that’s it.
-
XForebodeX (@XForebodeX) reported@ironmike7991 @PigeonGoGaming I didn't really have any issues finding players in any of them. All were pretty populated. CoD eclipsed all of them in terms of players. To be fair, most games back then didn't have a "player count." Except, if I recall, Halo 2 had a "players online" spot on the main dash.
-
Offline (@Always_Offline8) reported@vgfytschool Wtf are you talking about lol xbox owns cod, overwatch, sea of thieves, halo and a bunch of mobile games. They dont need to pump out live service because they have them already
-
snowcone (@snovcome) reported@JadeReallySucks Yes and no I think it's probably the same issue cod had where its trying to load your steams friends list but idk I'm no dev
-
Maltese Tv (@TvMaltese) reported@CallofDuty @FanaticsFest I can't get cod mw2 to connect or load up in the UK anyone else had a problem

Chel (@ChelUs0) reportedThe BF release cycle will be the worst in gaming history if DICE doesn’t learn from past entries. Since BF3, games launch every 2 years, broken and unbalanced, then spend 1-2 years of support fixing them into something actually good. By the time it’s polished, the sequel is already out - undoing all that progress. If BF7 launches in 2026 as broken as BF6 is now, and BF6’s support gets cut short before it’s truly finished, the cycle repeats. Reworking weapons, TTK, vehicles, and maps post-launch shouldn’t eat up half a year - that should be day-one quality. Support time should go to content, not damage control. CoD spends its first few months fixing critical issues, then goes all-in on content. DICE needs the same discipline: nail shooting, balance, vehicles, and map count at launch - or the “yearly BF” dream falls apart before it starts.

𝘼𝙝𝙢𝙚𝙙 (@c__l76) reported@CallofDuty Hello Call of Duty team, The game is full of hackers and many other issues, yet we barely see any action or intervention from your side. It’s really frustrating for players who just want a fair experience. I sincerely hope Modern Warfare 4 launches with a much stronger anti-cheat system and better security so everyone can enjoy the game without hackers ruining it. Please listen to your community and make fair play a priority.
-
PedoPuncher (@PedoPanderer) reported@BlackBurai Money. that's why. Hardcore gamers don't spend money like Live Service gamers do. You can have 300 Physical games, and still not equal the money someone spent on Genshin Impact, Fortnite, Minecraft, or CoD.
-
ADIANKAIBANYY (@ADIANKAIBA22) reported@GamingCentral26 THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH GAMING Y ******** ARE WE STILL PUSHING COD WHEN THEY HAVENT BEEN GOOD IN 15 YEARS
-
Vitaly Axe3y (@axeyFN1) reported@frankbaronsaint @kaydfnr @PabloWingu but just because of the meta with broken smgs 3 but epic needs to do smth to make controller more useful in comp, it’s literally impossible for us to keep up with kbm it just better overall but if u watch like cod roller is better so input its not the problem it has to be buffed
-
Judge Roy Bean (@OG_OnePiece) reported@_Claoo1 @Rendou_ken @MajorFossum People like you ruin games keep your pc stuff on pc and quit trying to be the problem. Endless bitching for nerfs buffs exact reason cod is in the dire state right now to people like you that try to change a winning formula.

Kayleigh (@2kawaii2cry) reported@Treyarch COD Secure Attestation still says “New Key Failed to be generated BIOS Firmware Update Recommended.” I’ve updated my ASUS Z890 BIOS to 3020 updated Intel ME firmware enabled Secure Boot verified TPM 2.0 and even cleared the TPM. Is this a known issue? How do i fix it?
-
Austin (@EssentialFPS) reportedI’m sorry but yall have got to fix the crashes with the 8k overlock for dualsense edges and other controllers. Crashing every few games and losing SR For no reason is unbelievable. Down over 500 SR now because of this. What’s the plan? @Treyarch @TreyarchCM @ATVIAssist
-
The Real MBM (@TheRealMBM12) reported@CallofDuty Is matchmaking broken or is cheating out of control?
-
FL | ASG | Maxler 🏳️⚧️🇺🇾 (@Fl_Maxler) reported@workernetZX this is also an incorrect equivalency problem. they're comparing baseline knowledge in other games (for arguement's sake, lets say CoD) Vs. midgame to lategame knowledge in Fighting games. you can absolutely get a BnB up and running just by ******* around with friends, too.
-
Skynet (@skynetBF) reported@jaylay12088001 @swaguley Because its not a battlefield no more . Now they are competiting with cod . Cod has no issue like hit reg or TTK , if they dont go back to what battlefield should be they will fall . Hell let loose , wardogs etc . We dont want a game that please fortnite players
