  @TheRickYouTube Yeah, I mean, BO2 is probably the best COD, and it's been infested with mod menus and hackers for years at this point with COD doing nothing to fix it. They should give back to everyone.

  Something Treyarch NEEDS to work on for their next game is making every Zombies map release feel special again. Zombies maps are dropping with very little buzz these days, even when they’re genuinely great like Totenreich. People are moving on quicker than they ever have before. I think this comes down to three main reasons: 1. Oversaturation of COD Zombies: There have now been so many maps released - and a lot of them in just the past couple of years - that a lot of people feel burnt out, even when the maps are decent to good. 2. The same/similar Zombies systems for six years straight: The core systems have remained largely unchanged for six years, which has completely killed general interest in the mode. Contrary to what a lot of vocal people say, the systems themselves are good - they just shouldn’t have stayed this similar across so many games. I loved Cold War Zombies when it first dropped because everything felt fresh and new, and that’s a big part of why it hit so hard at the time. Like anything else though, it eventually gets old. The same thing happened back when we were getting a Shield in every single map. Ultimately, Treyarch just didn’t make BO7 feel different enough to re-engage people. 3. The story needs to do something to bring people back in and attract new people: I actually think the BO7 Zombies story has improved in quite a few ways. The OG crew’s dialogue is a breath of fresh air. Despite that, interest in the story has never been lower. The main reason is that a lot of people felt let down by the BO6 story. Reckoning’s failure to properly pay off arcs (or straight-up ignoring too much of them) has left people hesitant to invest in the story again for fear of being emotionally let down. There are some absolute gems in the BO7 Zombies story, but it lacks a strong foundation. People were so hyped for the BO6 story because Cold War had laid such good groundwork to build on. Richtofen, his family, Janus, Peeks. This is made worse by the fact that the story now feels both too random and too formulaic at the same time. Things just seem to happen on a whim (Sentinel Artifact coming back, OG crew returning out of nowhere with a “Welcome to the party!”, Josiah Shem Order robes, etc.), while the overarching narrative has become fairly predictable. I genuinely don’t know how they fix this level of disinterest. I think it probably requires starting from scratch. People have gotten so lost in the story that a lot of them have no idea what’s even happening anymore. It’s full of references to old Aether lore (which only the hardcore fans understand) while dangling Chaos elements in front of us (again, mainly for us nerds), but newer fans don’t get any of it - and even a lot of the older fans end up disappointed because those threads don’t really pay off either. The fact that BO7 did so many of the things’ people were seemingly asking for - bringing back the OG crew, returning to more awesome environments, having those fantastical and whimsical intro/ending cutscenes every map - and yet people still aren’t really paying attention, shows just how hard it is for Treyarch to read the room right now. On paper they’re doing a lot of the right things but the payoff fails. It came at the wrong time and without proper build-up. They’re basically repeating BO3 (the most beloved Zombies era) and it’s not landing the same way, largely because BO6 and BO7 came back-to-back and due to it almost too much retreading on the past magic. I’m guessing a lot of BO6 content got cut or rushed to make room for BO7, which left its story feeling incomplete, lacking dialogue, and with broken/contrasting arcs and missing intros. It’s a classic case of “be careful what you wish for.” Cold War wasn’t everyone’s favourite at the time, but its story wasn’t something people were even craving by the end of BO4. However, it still managed to build an audience because it felt new and fresh, while also delivering satisfying arcs, proper payoffs, and strong undercurrents that built hype and mystery for a potential sequel. It was held back by a lack of cutscenes and a set crew, but out of all the modern games, its story had by far the most general interest. It’s still the most well-rounded story of the modern era in terms of how everything comes together. Its chapters (beginning, middle, and end) were clearly defined. The current story is just difficult for most people to follow. Jumping between eras has killed any sense of momentum. BO6 should have come out as the direct follow-up to Cold War, with BO7 coming after that. The moment they started introducing Zombies and Gods pre-Cyclotron was when things started falling apart. Going to the past with Vanguard, to the future with MWZ, then back to the middle to continue the cold war story, then going outside of time in BO7 has colossally ****** things. Likewise, the OG crew’s return also shouldn’t have felt like it came out of nowhere - it should have been slowly built up and teased throughout BO6. Making their return part of Project Janus would have been a much cleaner way to do it. Richtofen could have started by trying to bring his family back, then gradually remembered his old comrades and decided to save them too. That would’ve been much easier for people to follow, could’ve been cryptically teased through intel, and would’ve given the Janus mystery (and Janus Richtofen’s ending) way more weight and payoff. So where do we go from here? think they need to do another reboot. They need to reset things again. It’s unfortunate that it’s necessary, but I don’t really see another option. Nikolai’s plan failed. Things are a mess once more. There’s just too much baggage at this point, and Treyarch needs to try something genuinely fresh - both in gameplay and in the story.

  @GenePark the problem with the "most popular games on earth are ugly" is... people will never ever accept GTA with graphics of ps2, people will not accept the witcher 4 to have graphics of ps2 or ps3 era, people will not accept COD to be like medal of honor in ps2 or ps3

  @XBOX @XBOXSupport @Microsoft Can you tell me why I got suspended for this LFG group name for a COD Zombies game mode named Rogue Run - Endurance. I can't appeal the ban cause its a "shorter duraction period", and there no way to reach out to the enforcement team after talking to several support specialists. I can't be the only person with this issue.

  @Altair_laahad @LegacyKillaHD @floridabee4 Hellblade 2 made a profit and Double Fine made their most profitable game 5 years ago. Meanwhile Bethesda barely breaks even with Starfield, and Activision turns COD into live service slop to deal with the fact that Game Pass cannibalizes their sales. Should they "get ******"?

  @InfinityWard @CallofDuty Whatever you do. DO NOT buy this game. They let DMZ on MW2 go to cheaters. They will do the same with this game. Its an easy fix with canted guns but they refuse to fix it.

  @AG3Hero @LordofCinder24 That's the problem. Women DON'T follow the rules. They actively lobby and protest to get them changed. Cod lobbies, and the banter within, were literally made a bannable offense BECAUSE of women being unable to handle it. Women in gaming is an objectively bad thing for gaming.

  @DeshaunFlyy @tdawgsmitty use your brain, if the most recent release of @CallofDuty is filled with wall hackers, aim bot, AI cheats, cronus zen etc etc.... on PS5, XBOX AND PC, you will be dealing with the exact same issue.

  @tumorrbtw @VCTScrims Bruh CoD and CS see the same issues. IEM Rio was criticized for the crowd as they left for anything that wasn't a Brazilian match. CoD crowds go dead silent if OpTic lose as most of the fan base has them as the favorites. This is just sports crowds in a nutshell.

  @DamienHarrisEra @hadmyback @HATETHEREALME ..so it improved literally all the problems of the actual game while doing nothing to police itself from the worst of the cod community.. unsure what yalls obsession with grinding is. Haven't you all ever just... enjoyed a game for the sake of fun?
