  @Grummz AAA needs to re-evaluate how it's spending its money. Not throwing money at the problem. A lot of the time what they are spending on is way out of scope of what is expected for AAA. I mean hear is the definition of AAA: "AAA is an informal industry classification for high-budget, high-profile video games developed by large studios and distributed by major publishers." It just means a bit more to get that extra sheen that a AA can't quiet reach. Let's be fair here AA while improved a lot over the years isn't able to reach certain plateaus. Expedition 33 had its fair share of issues that I wouldn't have encountered in a AAA game. Might have featured a bit more content as a AAA game. AAA doesn't mean, it has to be open world or have live services. That's just Self Destructive Game Development that exists in the same venn diagram bubble as chasing industry trends instead of setting them. While niether of those two things are inherently evil in the industry, they are a problem when that is all gamers have to play. Variety is the spice of life and 30 failing live services would make anyone turn their nose up at the selection. Then blowing those budgets on ideologies instead of just crafting believable worlds, is art trying to force life to imitate it, instead of the other way around. That's a sure fire way to set your wallet on fire (literally) instead of your points of sale (figuratively) with customers demanding your product. This idea of AA vs AAA is ridiculous, it has nothing to do with either category. It boils down to those with extra blowing corporate money on bullshit schemes instead of doing as they are meant to function. Not enough money to build engine tech. Ubisoft has had 3 long running engines at its disposal that it could have easily challenged Unreal Engine by distributing to other vendors, but they don't have enough confidence in their games to release the tech and license it. A competing model would have been nice. Same applies to Fox Engine, Decima, Crystal Tools, Luminous Engine, RE Engine, and countless others. That could have helped pay for development as well as lead to development standards improving significantly. Better tools, better games. Competitive engine tool suites, competitive improvements in that space. Meanwhile we have morons like Yves Guilmote talking about the AAAA game and driving his publishing company and development studios into the ground while trying to influence culture instead of letting culture influence his product. Xbox is toast so long as they don't come to grips with these problems. Switching to UE5 from slipstream(?) probably one of the dumber things they've done. Glad Activision didn't pull the same **** with the CoD engine and finally unified their tech. say what you will about BLOPS7, the game has become infinitely more stable than entries in the franchise from 5 years ago and has started to allow them to really start dialing up features and bring back old ones that weren't easily ported between two separate engines. What about Id Tech? They have this bad *** engine used for doom, what is even happening there. Miss use of resources.

  @geis_shane I think Xbox would have been fine if theyd have stopped at Bethesda. The ABK deal cost way too much and has been more of a problem than helpful imo. Sure COD is a monster but it totally changes how Xbox had to do things but just my opinion tho. Def not a ceo lol

  @kabrutusdeid Gamepass would actually end up being better off if it just included the DLC for Xbox games with the service and made people buy the base game tbh. Give actual bonuses for games in the service that people care about like car vouchers on Horizon 6 and a skin every month on COD.

  @Hammiebro @edeh_o_o Moderation isn’t gonna fix anything Cs, league, Fortnite, siege, rocket league, smite, paladins, overwatch, cod, every single one of these tries to moderate and it doesn’t matter the fanbase is gonna be toxic in a competitive environment

  @Limbosera @jacobnewtron And ur point abt competitive and cheaters, bro no one ever said that cod hasn’t got a cheating problem, every valid player, pro, casual and content creator with a brain (not u ofc) know this like its very blatantly clear from these false bans, like that only is proof

  Guys idk who needs to hear this but believe it or not EA is gonna EA and that means Battlefield will always be similar to COD in some aspects until hell freezes over. I’m not saying I like it, or that you have to like it, I’m just saying they’re competitors and EA is a business, and businesses exist to make money. EA wants the COD money, EA doesnt want Battlefield to be as niche as it typically is, they want it to literally be another Warzone/Fortnite level event in gaming. The next huge thing. That’s why REDSEC was made, it’s why the gunplay is the way it is, it’s why the movement is the way it is, ect. They’re under the impression this is the way to achieve a viral infinite money glitch like their competitors. As usual, EA is multiple years late to the trends and is incapable of creating their own unique breakthrough trend.

  @Proxyyszn No such thing as internet optimization Custom games on cod used to be local hosted, they are now connected to the same dedicated servers, so you would not see any difference BO7 is just horrible with hit reg Instead of scratching your head over cod, try a different game and see if the hit reg improves You will know yourself that the problem was never on your end to begin with

  @malcolmxlax3 @oldtrafford9990 @xMBGx And then all the flips out of the coin, a game that would’ve probably sold 5 million copies doesn’t sell anywhere near that much. Because it’s on Game Pass. That’s a lot of revenue. They could’ve had it lost. That’s why COD got pulled from the service.

  @Lil_Domin @The_Ninja_Dan @Aztecross Course it will dude, it's too big to fail imo. Also THAT'S WHY I SAID TITANFALL 2. What I meant by it is that when game doesn't have constant updates like a live service game(i.e Apex, Destiny,Marathon) it usually makes less money on the long run. Cod has the formula down

  @Kazsune @STAHHL1 Regarding Crash Bandicoot, there's nothing stupid about it. There was indeed a game (Crash Bandicoot Team Rumble) where the gameplay did involve hitting your opponent. In CoD, you can customize your games and only allow punchs, and indeed it's stupid to think they 1/2

  @glepkoff127 @FedotOff90 Well COD is very popular here, because ppl have trust issues with brands. And TBH I also like COD because I know if I'm not at home the order will be returned to the warehouse and I can either pick it myself or reorder it
