  @CallofDuty I stopped with COD after BO6. I always loved the MW series though so I hope you do a nice job with DMZ. I just pre ordered and your Warzone servers are the worst. Marvel Rivals, Fortnite, Arc Raiders I never just sit waiting for a match to make me wait more. Fix this for MW4

  August is stacked, and most of it lands in the next six days. Here is what is actually confirmed versus what people are guessing at. CONFIRMED Aug 4: Final Fantasy XIV arrives on Switch 2 with a free trial, and its own separate subscription. Same day, Beast of Reincarnation, Game Freak's soulslike with no Pokemon in it, on PS5, Xbox and PC. Aug 5: Pokopia's first paid DLC, Bubbly Basin. Aug 6: Nintendo and Sony both report quarterly earnings. Take-Two follows on the 7th. Aug 7: Duskbloods network test selections go out. I applied, so this one is personal. Aug 13: Super Mario Sunshine joins GameCube Classics on NSO. Aug 20: Cost of Hope, STALKER 2's first major expansion. Aug 21-23: The Duskbloods closed test. FromSoft's first Nintendo exclusive in 23 years, with all screenshots and footage banned. Aug 21: Call of Duty MW4 early access beta, everywhere except Switch 2. Aug 25: Gamescom Opening Night Live, Geoff Keighley, roughly two hours, free everywhere. Nintendo, Xbox, Ubisoft, CD Projekt, Capcom and Bandai Namco are all confirmed exhibitors. Aug 26-30: Gamescom proper in Cologne. Aug 28: Elden Ring on Switch 2, delayed a full year so FromSoft could get it right. Same day, the COD open beta finally includes Switch 2. RUMORED, and treat it as such A third GTA 6 trailer around Aug 6. That comes from Tom Henderson reading Take-Two's habit of dropping marketing before investor calls, not from a leak. An Assassin's Creed Hexe date at Gamescom, from a leaker with a decent record. Ocarina of Time on Nov 12. ESRB rating filed, eShop page updated, and an amiibo dated to the same week. Circumstantial, but it keeps stacking up. Still no gameplay shown for a game Nintendo says is out this year. THE ONE TO WATCH Aug 6. Nintendo's quarter gets compared against the Switch 2 launch quarter, which was a record. The year on year numbers will look bad and the headlines will say sales collapsed. They did not. It is the same distortion that made June's US spending look down 21 percent when the first half was only 1 percent behind last year. Sony's is more interesting. Their quarter includes the disc announcement and an eight hour PSN outage.

  @CallofDuty Can We PLEASE Fix The Play Station Prox Chat Glitch? I Have Teammates/Enemies That I Cannot Hear Because Of This Glitch And I Need To Be Able To Hear Them Playing Ranked

  @M3RKMUS1C @IronGalaxy @CallofDuty Dedicated servers wouldn't save the game. It would prevent you getting booted offline, but off-host and client cheats have existed on these game for years and dedicated servers would make no difference to them. They need to go in and fix what's being exploited in the game.

  @NoPlayerData @IronGalaxy @TreyarchCM Back in the day I would see my local area codes in everyone’s clantag. Also filtering locale or locale only did indeed work back in the day. Occasionally you might get a regional mismatch (that’s any old cod) but NOT to the degree of the port. Something is broken

  @TheeGodric Honestly mate I had to quit cod because I lost battles to AA up close. It was a skill issue on my end. But movement demons are next level

  @spazzitis @Rebel_ That's a game issue, not a Shotzzy issue. He still was an all-star despite this not being a COD with maps that truly fits his playstyle.

  @CoffeeManYT @Mys1tica Part of it is honestly just a limitation of myself. Two-plus decades with the franchise means the early years learning curve is long gone. I've learned the gameplay, familiar with the various formulas, can't reset the clock (as fun as that would be). The content that defined the COD4 to BO2 era I grew up in; tutorials, tips and tricks, jumps and spots, road to prestige, people putting silly restrictions on their loadouts to see if they could beat the odds, etc. - it hit differently when we were still figuring the games out as a community. I really do feel that the internet overall, negativity has become a business model. Algorithms pay for click-through rates, outrage thumbnails beat neutral ones, and drama is great at holding people's attention. Once a channel grows on shitpost or grievance content, the audience enforces it; post something hopeful and the comments accuse you of being a shill. Most of these creators (grifters) are not inherently bad people. They are either really sick of how COD has changed, fair enough - and/or actors inside an incentive structure that rewards content like that. We get so many changes and content additions with live service model - so now basically every hotfix, balance pass, and blog is a monetizable grievance. We didn't really have that back when the games got 4 DLCs and a handful of updates throughout the YEAR. What instead stuck with COD YouTube the last decade plus is a heavy news/loadout-focus and what I'll loosely label a "criticism niche." I'd argue this is the case because both categories are "renewable resources" and purely creative formats are not as easily sustained if you're either not naturally creative (why I don't make content btw) or have just played SO many years of the same games. This probably sounds weird and somewhat hypocritical coming from a guy whose entire social media image is built around discourse and feedback. But real feedback in my view is constructively formatted and aimed at the people who can act on it; criticism-as-content is mostly just aimed at an audience of like-minded players for their entertainment. I cannot tell you how many hundreds of times I've heard the same rant commentaries about SBMM, monetization, people hating COD as a "movement shooter," and "[insert dev/studio] bad" - all containing valid criticisms, but it's ALL my algorithm feeds me now. Over and over and over, YouTube and socials. Again, plenty of that criticism has been warranted. My problem is not that it exists. It's the obnoxious monoculture and the reflexiveness that has engulfed the community because everyone suddenly became a full-time game critic. Every single addition or change gets sorted into good or bad, covered (repeatedly) in ranty commentaries with minimal nuance or factual/constructive foundations, and often refusing to celebrate positive changes when they come. There is so much passion in our community, I honestly love that - but so often I see it wasted as emotional spew and outright hatred towards people just doing their jobs to create a virtual toy. TL:DR I could've saved your time by boiling this whole response into two words: Curiosity --> Contempt

  @CODPersonal Has anyone else on PlayStation been running into this voice chat bug? After finishing a match and returning to the lobby, I lose all squad voice comms. I can see my teammates’ voice indicators lighting up, but I can’t hear anyone. The only fix we’ve found is for everyone to back out to the main menu and rejoin the party. Been going on since S5 Anyone else seeing this? @CallofDuty

  @soroban_global IT introduces a lot of interesting things. The errors though if you don't catch it before it happens. The models come to there own conclusions. So if they're working and I break there task by spinning up COD. They will make a guess as to why it happened. If I fail to tell them and make the report now what ever they're working on gets watered down while they chase ghost.

  @CallofDuty Bringing Black Ops 1 & 2 to PS4/PS5 was only a matter of time before hackers targeted these ports. Regardless of whether @IronGalaxy is handling them, these are Call of Duty titles. The community asks you to step up, address security issues, and clean up this mess!

  Literally just make matchmaking completely random. @CallofDuty I feel like that would be the most honest, simplified solution to the current problems with matchmaking.

  @LeeStrong77 I genuinely do not understand the support for Sony. Sony are taking away a choice, and creating a monopoly for themselves, and people are supporting them! If this continues, soon games will be a subscription service! Want to play COD, £12 a month!
