  @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.

  @CODUpdates Can you please re enable split screen on BO7? It’s the only reason I don’t play battlefield. I only play COD with my wife and now I cannot do that. Please fix it or give me my $70 back so I can go buy another COD that does work. We just got married for Christ’s sake.

  @CallofDuty why is it that if you defeat the glitch boss well down it says that you failed the mission?

  @GameReviewGuy Don't get me wrong, exclusives are important as they are currently finding out. But certain titles that literally can't make exclusive without finding themselves in serious legal trouble. I know COD and Fable are on the list. I believe Fallout and Elder scrolls may be as well.

  @DexterityShow @PlayStation I'd argue it is more stupidity at this point. As others (credit Razorfist among them for the early timeline point for this) have pointed out. 90s-00s, they cut back on the plastic in the cases (not as thick, some cut out "unnecessary" areas in the case to lighten it design wise) for cd based games to save some money. CoD decides and admits to sell their game for the Xbox 360 at $60 even though they would still make profit at 50 at the time and everyone realizes they can get away with it. The industry also starts offering digital versions "to save the customer some money" (meanwhile the norm tends to be digital is full price now). Now its just blatant they want to fit into a full subscription based service in effect. Whether it be "think of the money we save when we don't have to ship out games we need to print" or thinking that nickel and diming because of a mercantilist approach you think will revolutionize how you conduct marketing cause you got an mba and it got to your head, they're beyond stupid.

  @CallofDutyCM @Activision @CallofDuty explain these bulletproof accounts that players are protected by richotet since warzone 1 with a k/d over 2.25? If this is true you need to fix that then.

  Challengers Intel (@CDCIntel) reported 27 minutes ago

  @MisfitsArena @Foxxyy_COD They basically don’t want cod people involved with challengers to prevent bias having an impact. I understand their logic why they wouldn’t want someone like me for instance since I have personal relationships with players and they could see that as an issue to decision making.

  @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.

  @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.

  @TERABAAP_DADDY I like how they are trying to make it more like console COD. The problem is finding the right phones for gaming. That's the next big thing. Gaming phones and tablets

  After my trip to Virginia, I had to be honest with myself about several things. First, remaining single forever is not something I should decide out of fear, disappointment, or rigidity. If God clearly asks that of me, then that is one thing. But I realized that I do want to be married again. I do want to be part of a family. I want the kind of life where love, faith, home, and family are all connected. Of course, that depends on what God allows and what opportunities He gives me. I am not interested in forcing anything, chasing anything, or lowering my standards just to avoid being alone. I meet men all the time who are interested in me. The issue is not that I have no options. The issue is that I am usually not interested in the options in front of me. But I also realized I do not want to be rigid or completely closed off. If I meet someone Catholic, serious, masculine, faithful, and capable of building the kind of life I actually want, then I am open to considering that. I am not desperate, but I am also not going to pretend I do not desire marriage and family if that is something God makes possible for me. Second, living between Prescott and Gilbert, or Prescott and Queen Creek, would not be enough for me. It would be me settling for a mediocre version of my life, and I know that would eventually make me extremely unhappy. I never wanted to move to Phoenix. To be completely honest, I think Phoenix is a ********. Thankfully, I do love Gilbert, Queen Creek, and San Tan Valley, but even when I moved here, I said it was only under one condition: that eventually we would spend May through September in Cape Cod. For the first three or four years, I traveled so much that I was hardly ever here anyway. But life did not go the way I thought it would. Things changed, my marriage ended, and the life I thought I was building shifted completely. For a while, I tried to convince myself that going back and forth between Prescott and Queen Creek would be good enough. Now I realize it would not be good enough for me. I am flexible in the sense that I do not need to own a home on the island, but I am not flexible about living in the desert twelve months out of the year. My best friend and I are on the same page about the life we want to build. We both want a townhome in Gilbert, a main home in Prescott, and another home in Virginia. When we make that happen, I can easily spend July and August in Cape Cod, while still having Virginia as a place that gives me what I have been craving: coastal life mixed with farm life. Not desert farm life, but green, East Coast farm life. I am also grateful that my best friend understands and wants the same bigger picture. He has always talked about wanting a house in Prescott, and I still love that idea too. But after this trip, he also understands more clearly how much I need to be near the water. Since he lived on an island too, he gets it. He understands that this is not just about wanting a pretty place to visit. It is about the kind of life that feels like home to me. He also would not mind being closer to his family in Virginia, so we are having to slightly tweak our plans, but honestly, it all still works. It may look a little different than what we first pictured, but the bigger vision is still there: Arizona, Prescott, Virginia, and the ability to get back to Cape Cod in the summer. I am determined to make this my life.

  Operation Detachment Gaming (@ODGactual) reported 42 minutes ago

  @SgtDangerCow I don’t even want that… that would cause the main title to have less resources, attention, and content… it would cause the same issues that CoD has had, causing the IP to become stagnant, loss whatever depth it has, etc… I think 1 BF game every 2-3 years is better for BF

  @sigmapunisher why would PS pay Activision to have it on their subscription service… a dead old cod lol. there’s always a cod title sometime in the year on ps plus, this years is MWIII, last years was vanguard and next years will probably be BO6 if they continue it

  only way to stop the cheating problem in cod is to stop playing it then they will be forced to find another game to ruin

  @CallofDutyCM Hey guys just wondering about the black ops 6 trophy heavy ordinance specialist? Now that bo6 is leaving cod hq today will a fix be going live for the accounts that have met the requirements or is it going to just prevent people from getting 100 percent on cod hq?

  @bdsams Bold move. Because when the price tag is revealed more interest in it will further dwindle. Most likely $1000+, All digital and locked into their overpriced store, still focusing and pushing for live service slop, most likely barely any 1st party games and the ones that do release will be more over the shoulder safe movie slop. Even the casual COD + FIFA enjoyer won’t show up just based off the price tag alone.

  My problem with "ball and gun" gamers is they dont even want to play any other ball and gun game aside from the typical AAA studio stuff. Plenty of indie FPS and Sports games but they rather ***** of CoD and 2k/fifa ect

  @NyteStealth That’s just a visual bug. You don’t have to re-earn all of your augments. And hopefully with BO6 being separate from COD HQ as of today that glitch won’t be a thing anymore

  Surely 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 @AllSkillX3D @ServerS1deissue

  @CODUpdates 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?

  @amazonIN, @AmazonHelp This is unacceptable. Almost every prepaid order ends up with delivery issues, while Amazon charges extra for COD. Customers shouldn't have to pay extra just to receive reliable delivery. My order 171-3241104-3521906 has been falsely marked as delivered.
