- Call of Duty and Black ops 6 are in a REALLY bad place. Hitting Some of the lowest player numbers I have ever seen. However, after a massive launch how is that possible. Today I tell you why!

COD Fans: “Microsoft will make things better!”
Halo Fans: “You must be new here, huh?”
Said no one
We sure were duped.
😂😂😂
Facts 😂
I mean COD has been fucked way before Microsoft took over
stupid skins and operators is why I am starting to dislike the games now. What happened to MW2 2009? Spetznaz vs Rangers, actual soldiers now we have unicorns and stuff.
Been saying this for the longest, fortnite change in game skins for the worse, for the whole gaming community
Yeah back when CoD remembered it’s own identity, when you were just an average soldier in war.
Party Rock Camo was the beginning of the end. I said it even back then and it only got worse 😂
@@solomonsutton1445I heard somewhere that the reason why they no longer have real factions and real names for weapons is because they don’t want to be blamed for some wackjob that shoots up a school saying he got inspiration from CoD.
Who tf cares what’s skins are in the game. You having a midlife crisis and want to live out your fantasy of being a soldier or something? You don’t have to buy it and if seeing a skin on A game bothers you then ur a snowflake. He made a whole video about why cod is ass and ur worried about some optional skins????? Get a grip

@@KroniccKrona1everyone would be ban if it was in mw2 2009😂😂
I miss the old days I just got banned for 3 days 😭
@@glitchingghost7560Yo the black dudes who played that game must have had the thickest skin ever - NOTHING could get to them. 😂
@@sephondranzer yeah😂
Nothing will change. Ever.
The stupid will buy the bundles.
The green god of greed always wins.
This. Every game I see mostly ridiculous skins and blueprints.
It’s a shame because I genuinely enjoy BO6 but every decision makes me want to just get rid of it lol. It feels like the game will only be better after this annual cycle is over
if they get away with it this game which they kind of are then next game they will double down on the crap then again the next game after that, look at how bad loot boxes got in infinite warfare where you unlocked the best guns variants in loot boxes( that purple smg was ludicrous and i still didn't get it by the games end)
it's because they control SBMM and EOMM.
literally all we needed was half decent maps not literally a couple good ones
Same! But this was bound to happen regardless. Activision really set this up to happen
stop playing games that don't respect you
They don’t care about the community just money and think people will just continue to pay and play
but its the same content creators promoting the same garbage every year + the same people buying lol
I’ll be honest I don’t care about the community either. COD community is nothing but a bunch of crybabies
I haven't bought a cod game from MW19, i might buy a skin here & there but mostly i only buy the pass & use the cod points to buy the next one.
The game isn't worth spending all type money on.
@@Callmesmittyfr all they do is complain about shit they can’t handle
I feel bad for drain dead player's who going to spend $1,300 or more dollars in 2025 on cod add the math $10 each events and $30 each blackcell not for crossover bundles $30 to $20 skins bro each brain dead player's going spend $1,300 or more dollars that's insane greedy company
I was hyped af for this game. Seeing it fall apart like this so early is almost disturbing. SMH!!!!
I knew there was no coming back since vanguard jumped off the bridge. Personally I haven't played cod since CW. vanguard came out and it got stagnant, so I started playing Elden ring and haven't looked back. We're the ones who are being played in these games and not the other way round.

@@paulx3274have a bad match in cod, cus of eomm, if you have a good match its cus eomm purposely matched you with people below your skill. Nothing feels rewarding cause its fake
I mean it’s still a good game gameplay wise. Its just overly monetized and activision is still the worst
The issues didn’t start with MWIII, they started in 2010 when Activision fired Vince Zampella & Jason West because they would’ve rather let them go then pay them more money. From there we’ve slowly watched each studio one by one get worse and worse each year
True. But the good news these guys are working on the new Battlefield game ❤
@Vberar I've never played battlefield, seeing how cod is in a downfall and the next battlefield having a lot of hype behind may just make me swap to it when it releases if cod doesn't fix itself by then, which let's be honest they wont
@@UBAT128 they will if there is some competition
@Vberar true rn cod has no competition, there was xdefiant but I never saw that as a true competitor and I've never seen battlefield as a competitor either, cod is it's own thing. But with how it's acting a lot of ppl will go play other things especially the new battlefield as it's being made by og cod devs
@@UBAT128 I play COD and battlefield tandemly. I hated bf2042 when it first came out. Then randomly I saw that it was good because they fixed most of the bugs. I jumped on during MWII and got tier 1 on almost everything. That's bf2042 mastery levels. Then it guy stale again and I've only played a handful of times since MWIII. However, I'm excited for this next battlefield because of who is making it. High hopes indeed.
I deleted that game honestly to save space and don’t regret it at all
Hm I’m going to do the same and wait for season two to drop and come back. In the meantime bo2 here I come
your mom is happy about it
I see it’s still taking space up in your head 😂
I deleted also
@ ok Unc
Remember when everyone argued about how Microsoft buying them would be awesome? Yea no….
The fallout crowd is in the same boat, and I'm just still shaking my head about it.
Microsoft can’t even run Halo right. Their OG xbox title.
idk why they don't make warzone a separate game and run it like Fortnite, it would be so successful and new cod titles won't reset warzone every year, if this doesn't happen warzone will fail
fr. they already have cod mobile a long running live service game.
@@mjhill._no1 plays that shit
@@NewbieLoki exactly let warzone die
cause they don't respect the player or your brand bias towards them
stop playing games that don't respect you
Controversial opinion but I feel like Zombies needs to be its own thing too. I never play the mode and I'm sure it takes away from each game its included in. Each annual game should focus on a new campaign and multi-player with twice as many maps, 3 more operators on each side and more weapons at launch.
If skill-based matchmaking (SBMM) stays the same, AI continues to be implemented poorly, and the events keep offering lackluster prizes alongside greedy, overpriced bundles, I’m done. They’ve clearly taken the player base for granted, and I won’t support a game that prioritizes profit over its community. Until they show they care and make real changes, I’m out.
SBMM is the only reason anyone plays this game at all.
Beyond poorly optimized like wth it takes so much storage
@jbeers1234 i dont play it because of sbmm
W Marvel Rivals
yup, been an avoid since ps3 days, everything past that isn't worth it
stop playing games that don't respect you
On top of all issues, I’m just tired of CoD taking most of my storage, that’s why I only finished the campaign, and deleted the game.
get more storage?
@@tristoncallis7420 why would he do that just for cod lmfao
In the words of Blame Truth.... The game literally feels like it wasn't even made by a human.
Fun fact dlss doesn’t work all the time on pc it’s been bugged since mw2022 so not only is the game poorly optimized on pc you can even use an upscaler
I say it every it every time. The people and content creators that were on twitter complaining about mw2 and 3, are the ones that wanted this game. It’s honestly deserved.
Gotta agree. Content creators dissing MW2 but DMZ was honestly the most fun I've had in cod. Played it with my dad and brother all the time. First game I hit max prestige too.
@@williammortensen9170 mw2 was so hated because it was slow. Back in the day you could play fast or slow. Mw2 was literally camp fest with no dead silence. Complete garbage lmao. mw2 is legit for old men who wanna camp. Even in sweat lobbies, the game just promoted camping and it was incredibly unenjoyable.
mw3 just had zero personality. the gameplay was solid. but it used recycled maps and all the original maps where garbage and it was just stale. Same with bo6, good gameplay but just extremely stale.
@@itsbeyxnd Yeah, I really hated how slow it could be. But I hate seeing some guy slide-360 lmg at 80mph while shrugging off a shotgun to the chest a lot more.
@ the original maps weren’t that bad in my opinion, but I agree on the recycled maps making the game stale.
It's call of duty, if it *can* get worse it *will* get worse.
This game is only a few months old and it’s already become the biggest gaming drama in history
Unfortunately nothing will substantially change for the better since COD has reached the final circle of games that are too big to die. This includes Madden and other franchises where the majority of players are casual players that dont follow game news and blindly buy everything year after year since its the only game they play. Activision can shit in the mouths of its playerbase and a large percentage will always be there to eat it up and ask to pay for more. I skipped COD this year and it has been so refreshing to play other games that dont stress me out or gaslight me into thinking im crazy or ask me to open my wallet every 5 minutes. It feels like I got out of an abusive relationship lol. I just had to come to grips that this series is no longer the same one that got me hooked 15 years ago and that Im no longer the target market. Luckily the gaming landscape has expanded over the years and I am getting to experience other games that treat me with more respect for my money.
Maybe they should get rid of sbmm, eomm, ai, skill based damage, shit anticheat, and the terrible maps people might buy your game
Skill based damaged doesnt exist. what can be chalked up to that is the really shit netcode. overall however I agree with the rest of what you said
@@mango2538if it was bad net code it’d be significantly more consistent. net code has different symptoms than the skill based damage theory. I’m not saying SBD is real, just mentioned what i’ve seen and researched myself
@@mango2538dude be real, there's too many vids of it happening to only chalk it yo to bad hit reg.theres some foul play going on there 100%
@@acid0428 i know we are deep in doomer thinking atp, but i really can chalk most of those clips up to netcode and that “erroneous blood” thing
@@mango2538even if they aint be using that shit, theyve patented it and thats already hella weird
I'm starting to think the Black Ops 6 tagline "The Truth Lies" refers to Activision in general.
They tried to tell us from the beginning of the game the more I think about it
12:52 not only is cod full price, it also makes a new full price game every year. so you could play fortnite for three years free, or play cod for 210 usd (270 here in canada)
an example of a pretty fine game being bogged down by bugs, eomm, performance, monetization, lack of anti cheat, AI, gaslighting, lying, and manipulation
If this is their "downfall," then honestly, they deserve it and more. I used to have a lot of hope for COD. That ended during MWII.
15:54 well it's time to stop loving call of duty until they make good games again with actual developers behind the work.
Im shocked people thought Microsoft would fix stuff as if halo and minecraft don't exist (atleast cod ghosts isnt the worst anymore)
Stop buying it. Im happy the community stops playing it at least.
This literally happens with every game anymore. Some of the biggest games of this year have tanked in player count. People just get their fill and move on to the next thing...
Not like this man. It’s like 3 months since the game released and already about 45% of its player base has stopped playing the game that’s not normal. If it was maybe 15%-20% sure that happens with every game but you don’t lose nearly 45% of your player base in 3 months of its release
@RickyTempletonBsbl what do you mean not like this, look at Blackmyth Wukong, and Elden ring. All these major games have plummeted to like 10 or 15% of what their population was at launch...
@@mysticz9046 10%-15% is perfectly fine. Plus they are single player games. Cod is a multiplayer online game who lost 45% how do you not see the big deal of that
@@RickyTempletonBsbl Because games don't sustain population anymore. Once people get their fill they were on to the next thing. I already said this...
@@mysticz9046 they don’t sustain population anymore cause they are bad games. Every gaming studio has become greedy for money and puts less effort into making actual good quality games like we once had. Can’t tell me 50% of the player base every left bo2
I definitely noticed the player drop off when I saw I was playing with the same group of players in each map.
"no problem with" is exactly what you should have a problem is, its NOT necessary at all, its only done cause the audience is dumb enough to keep allowing, they can fund the game and longevity without it completely, multi billion dollar company doesn't need any mtx in it
this only changes when the audience stops consuming, stop being sheep, you have power to say no, other shooters exist stop buying, stop playing, let it die and play the plethora of others that exist
You missed them saying our XP tokens wouldn't carry over. Then they accidentally gave them to us then took them away until we threw a fit then they gaslit us again saying they were causing game stability issues when absolutely nobody encounter these "issues"
Over the years Activision has unquestionably got complacent, and they care more about touting metrics and analytics. People are tired of nefarious algorithmic matchmaking patents, which are designed to manipulate your game experiences. Packet Burst coupled with horrible desync issues has become intolerable
Insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result. Call of duty the past few years has rapidly declined in terms of quality. But expecting this to reverse at this point is just insane.
This is why I only play the campaign, but now I understand why they will never release it separately for people who only play the campaign, which is probably a small percentage.
Like halo infinite for example. Mp was free and campaign was sold separately
My biggest continual problem I find is either it takes 10 hits to kill or if I do good for a round I’ll be punished over the next two to three games
They will never listen ink. As a veteran of the United States Army. I have a very good understanding of bo6. I used to enjoy playing Call of Duty. At this point, I have decided not to play like I had been playing. Thank you for the video. I understand your frustration. They won't fix things until everyone stops playing it for a month or so.
Thank you for your service!
Thats hilarious
Im a brigadier general of the butterfly brigade. A verteran of the original Call of Duty . Ur comment makes no sense bro.
What does you having to be in an army have anything to do with a game that has a lot of bugs and poor AI??!
This is bait ☝🏾
activision is the most corporate company in gaming. they don't want gamers complaining about this stuff. they want people like my roommates that are bad and could not care less about sbmm or tick rate. they've spent $60 each on cosmetics in the game and that's the intended audience
We are in a dark age right now in cod we need to have a big game like mw2019 to change cod
MW2019 was so polished, we didn't know what we had until it was too late. Sad that no CoD since has been baked in the oven long enough...
Ong i am playing mw2019 still@@IncredibleFlyinSquid
mw2019 was so fire idk how they couldn't keep the games like that its weird
It brought back the old feel and fun while still being fast! So good! I bought b06 and it’s so bad. I love the movement but damn is it a shit game. I don’t think we’ll ever get another good one
I remember thinking when I first started playing this game “I wanna buy a cool skin” but when I saw that I had to buy a bunch of dumb shit I don’t need in those stupid bundles I was pissed.
The real problem with Call of Duty as of late is people now have full time jobs streaming video games so people are literally picking things apart in ways it has never been. Most problems streamers have issues that most people in general don’t have. Also people on the internet now have different ways to voice opinions and that can sway people from buying or supporting something they once would. Also people cheating in game drives others away. We honestly can’t blame COD for others ruining experiences for another. The one thing they need to do is make sure their product is complete before releasing it, we shouldn’t have to wait 6 months to get a fully established product
Streamers are all cheaters, they killed call of duty
Nah I encounter these issues and i barely play, so just nah.
@ I think we’ve all ran into a cheater… but knowing what’s AI, stats on sbmm or even knowledge of sbmm comes from streamers. A lot of the things that are complained about outside of the shit show they give us is found from streamers and data miners.

@@Meyhem33 bro this isnt some disney movie shits not gonna change😭🙏
@ElementBruv LOL. Doesn't matter. I quit CoD last May because I'm very aware.
I gave all my money to DMZ bundles. Now I’m homeless. Damn you activision!
But you do have the unicorn fart tracer pack be grateful
DMZ was the last good CoD offering
Totally agree with you Ink! I've been playing CoD for 17 years now, but this is going to be my last one. Not because I quit gaming, on the contrary, but I am fed up with everything you just mentioned. Overpriced, poor content, horrible servers/connection, hit markers, SBMM, instant spawn tubes on HC S&D, disbanding lobbies, matchmaking in general, people backing out and so much more... I'm going to look out for a different game with my clan.
Game pass is a factor for player numbers. Higher at launch (try it out with their subscription) then fall off after a little while (tried it and didn’t want to keep playing because they don’t like it and haven’t bought it). Is that a good thing or bad thing, depends how you look at it. But it’s just a factor IMO
Gives new meaning on the phrase "The Truth Lies"
btw the steam playerbase is the smallest playerbase even on PC. COD is the most played game on consoles recently. So their numbers are still good and things will never get better as long as this is the case. I won't see any change coming until their pockets start being affected and I don't see that happening anytime soon.
all the YN’s on their ps5 and children on xbox are keeping this abusive relationship alive 💔
Keep telling yourself that 😂
@ I could care less I wanna see COD struggle if anything so it can actually improve but it’s factual statements what I’m saying lol steam is the smallest playerbase and on top of that it genuinely came out that on xbox and PS5 COD has been the most played game recently. Not an opinion an actual statistic
@kevinsexton7561 There are not that many good casual games on console. I bought bo6 aswell and got my money worth but this game is still nothing compared to bo2.
@@TacoFalconyes you are right but thar means the playerbase dropping is way bigger on the other platforms, it's only logic
For a game rated M for Mature they really hate people swearing. Remember when people would have swear offs in BO2 lobbies? Good times😂
Great video! Big thanks for all the effort you put into crafting this-it really shows, and it’s spot-on. I’m a huge fan of this game too, but let’s be real, it’s been tough to hop on just for fun without running into frustrations. Here’s hoping Activision and Microsoft Games take note of the solid feedback you and others are sharing, backed by real data. As an older gamer, it feels like this comes down to basic customer service-and at times, it skirts the line of releasing a product that’s not ready, which isn’t a great look. Either way, your work here is top-tier. Thanks for putting it out there! GG’s and keep it up!
It seems like many players are losing patience with SBMM and EOMM. When you add in frustrating map designs, hacking issues, hit registration problems, and the emphasis on microtransactions, it just makes the experience even worse. It's becoming increasingly difficult to enjoy the game! I quit one month ago, and don’t miss it at all.
drone analogy was fire! hahaha love your contect dude!
As someone who works 50 hours a week or more. It does feel good getting on the game and actually getting a warzone win within 4 games.
It’s so bad with cheaters and glitchy gameplay to where I turn the game off after 40 minutes.
It’s 2025. Nobody wants to shoot these old guns. Reminds of COD WWIII.
COD = Collection Of Dollars
One other thing you forgot to mention the game now always requires a internet connection now even if you are playing the campaign or solo zombies. Not to mention the game isn’t on the disc anymore another big problem.
$70 minimum for the game, battle pass, black cell, premium event, bundles, and a $20 audio pack! Call of Duty- players don’t put away your wallets just yet there’s something here I’d like all of you to purchase…
Helldivers?
@that-one.cod_player115 My dad always said that the day you die is when people will stop talking about you son…
I realized last night that find a party was removed from Warzone, and I got in a match with randoms with no mics that landed wherever they wanted. Just a bad experience overall.
And prior, in multiplayer, I kept noticing my shots were hitting but not doing anything, sometimes they would and sometimes they wouldn’t. So I stopped playing multiplayer as well.
Zombies was fun, but that grind became repetitive.
The biggest issue the servers are complete garbage Juice
"The Truth Lies" Has a whole new meaning...
Just analyzing the steam charts, even this dip in player numbers is normal. It's simply just the initial launch hype, people are excited to try out the new guns, perks, maps... eventually those "casual gamers" will switch to other games (ie: other new games out right now like Poe2, Delta Force, Marvel Rivals). Most people don't stick to 1 single game and purely play that for the entire year, gamers will switch games, hop around, and just have fun. This dip in COD's player numbers is normal, even looking at the steam charts for MW2 and MW3's launch its the exact same. The average player numbers throughout the year for MW2/MW3 after the launch was around 60k-70k players... thats what we're seeing with BO6.
Agree with this completely. I myself played the initial hype, played a lot of zombies and even tried out the new dlc map. But now rivals has got my attention. Most people aren't interested in camo grinding or 100%ing a call of duty game which can explain the drop in players
I got to be honest the only reason why i stopped playing wasn't because of the skins (because i only play zombies) but because the update size was too big so i had to delete it...not a shocker right there
Preaching to the choir my friend. Things will not change until we do
I am what is called a "casual" gamer 43 years old with a full time job and family, i have very little time to play and maybe play a couple of hours every 3 or 4 days, i can take the crappy skins (Buy if you want) and the seasons etc.. hell even the SBMM but its the crappy servers and connections that year on year get worse is what puts me off. I have a good internet connection and there are many games that you are instantly killed or lose all of the 50/50 battles. This is what puts me off playing. The last good COD game was MW in 2020 still very playable today. Its been downhill since and its not going to get better until players stop buying the product its that simple.
i dont think anyone really cares what activision is doing.. If you look at metrics from other call of duties, the same fucking thing happens where after about a month or two after launch, they lose 30-40% of the player count where the other 60-70% of the core players stick around. I think both you and Niro make videos basically crying to your community because they're the only people who will agree with you.
You hit the nail on the head, and the problem is CoD wants to make money, but it's helps to listen every once in a while to the players on what we're having problems with. Some of this really, really needs to be addressed and fixed. Otherwise they will lose all of us because it's just too much to deal with.
Very solid video with a comprehensive breakdown!! Great work!!
Moving forward, humans NEED to put a cheap value on anything made by AI and make anything made by humans more expensive. That'll change the game
Yep, their greed killed the game. I hold a ultimate edition which is 100 GBP a game and it's worth nothing anymore. For last couple weeks been playing Delta Force, and discovered, that it is actually a great and fun game, just took some time (couple days) to get used to it. Don't think ill ever be going back to Call of duty MP.
I worked very hard to get prestige master in a race with my friends and the only reason I won was because they each gradually gave up on the game. So when I got to prestige master, I saw the crud COD was doing and thought ‘why did I waste my time and passion on this game when they killed it already?’ And it upsets me a lot.
The worst part is you can tell treyarch genuinely tried activision just couldn’t let them cook
@@Uknown76 The devs are still part of the problem.
@@TrickyDrip they are maybe 5% of the problem, ai, servers, eomm, anticheat, and bundles has nothing to do with treyarch, if u expect game devs to also be networking engineers and software security specialists then ur delusional.
Yes, thank you for helping us out. It would’ve about the ridiculous chat band. I can’t even call somebody a chicken nugget without getting banned.
I was wondering if anyone is also experiencing this, pretty often when i load up bo6 my first match is super laggy and it gets worse from there until i restart my xbox and open the game again. So now everytime i get on i basically have to open bo6 load into a match then restart my xbox so i can play without lagg. This only happens with bo6.
I play on Xbox Series S and I don't have any problems
There has been hackers from the jump with black ops 6
Everyone I actually know that has played the game likes it. I literally only hear negative things about it when I come online. I think the key here is to just enjoy what you enjoy and stop watching stupid non entertaining TH-cam videos like this.
Same here. The SBMM isn't that big a deal to me, and it's not just farming me wins, either. I'm not the best at these kinds of games but still enjoy them. But logging in to play several lobbies in a row and constantly getting wiped gets old quick.
However, the cheating issues are there. Not as bad while the game is still new.
I don't like the monetization practices, though. The special blueprints with stats beyond what base game can give is quite annoying.
COD not Falling OFF!! It just everyone is back outside!!! COD blew up really during the pandemic. We back outside.
Depends where you live lmao trying living in upper Michigan and going outside 😂
It’s cold af outside. I’m definitely not outside
Am I Dreaming? A big time streamer for COD finally saying this? Literally Nero Cinama, Scat Master Folly and Blame Truth have been saying this since 2019. You watched one of there videos huh?
Finally? I'm guessing this is your first time on this channel.
I called someone an “Omni f-word” and I got a ban hahahhaa
lol I have said worse on siege
Hackers, sbmm, whitelist and "house" anticheat have destroyed this game.
Wrong
yall aren’t liking it? i’m about 3 categories done with my Dark matter grind and i’ve loved it
I started out loving it but now I’m really not enjoying it plus I got back into rainbow six siege
honestly im going to delete warzone i need the extra space anyways
Game damn near unplayable & i cnt even talk to my teammates in game chat without getting banned & there's manyyyyyyy more problems 🤔 overall the game is a pile of hot steaming garbage.
Zombies server issues are so bad as well. I’m literally quitting until they fix.
Man that packet loss sh*t .... I stopped playing warzone bcuz of that... can't find one match without of my teammates having issues
They only want people on the game who waste thier money on the dumb ass skins in the game.
I was one of the biggest supporters for this game when it first dropped amongst my friends. I cannot and will not keep supporting this shit when they literally pump out a new THIRTY DOLLAR BUNDLE EVERY TWO DAYS. The fact that they have over 300$ worth of skins out when the game isn't even out of its first season is absolutely egregious when you can tell the money clearly isn't going into fixing ANYTHING.
My personal opinion is if you don't like something you don't have to buy it ain't my call of duty's making you buy their crappy skins even though some are cool on the main reason is and I said like 90% of the reason that people are leaving is because of all the hacking going on All I ain't bonding ball hacks and God knows what else they need to get a control on that every game you got to buy that's how all the rest of the games make money that are free like fortnite that depend on their store to make money call of duty depends on their store for money so they can pay for the DLCs cuz once you pay $70 for the game get the DLCs for free at least on Xbox I don't know about PC and you're 100% right modern warfare 3 was 100% a rip-off All I can say is if you don't like something don't buy it I don't think I've seen a AAA gang being released from a AAA company in years you have a good one keep having a good concept
I really liked the pre season one, but as soon as season one came out I just wasn’t interested in playing BO6. All of the stupid in game purchases just make me hate playing cod.
I’m still playing cod bo6 and idk why is black ops 6 getting hate it’s a improvement over MWll
It’s not that it’s a bad game but the decision they are making with this game. It will always have people playing it but it’s slowly dying for true COD players
Let's see 🤔 cheater, laggy servers, sweaty matches if you are a good player, the amount of pay bundles that are insane for skins, the maps that are warzone base in mp are bad, not gonna lie I do like BO6 but way to many issues and lies people are dropping.
Business inflate their company's value before asset acquisition by another company, then the company that buys the asset tends to see the actual financial situation of the company, so they rectify the cost structure of the businesses through layoffs/price increase/ quality degradetion over time.
TH-camrs are sucking the fun out of the game
How is that?
agree
The higher ranks of this game are sucking the fun out of it***
It's not just that, the grind is just ridiculous. I'm master prestige 169 - all cammos unlocked - all zombies easter eggs completed. Am i really supposed to get 800 more levels for my next acheivement? Really? Cos not one normal gamer will be getting to level 1000 this year.
The game isn’t as bad as people make it out to be but it definitely has some big, glaring problems. I think we all came in with our expectations way too high
No our expectations was right because they hyped the hell out of the game
And the game having problems that makes it unplayable makes it a bad game
It’s shit stop being a bootlicker
In general, I believe TH-cam video creators are partly responsible for the state the game is in today. The core issue with Call of Duty actually emerged when Verdansk was removed. The way the game was played fundamentally changed with the map, yet people who wanted Verdansk back were mocked. Comments like, “You just want to play the same thing,” or “Innovation is necessary,” dominated the discourse. However, everything introduced under the guise of innovation was ultimately ego-driven and broke what was already working.
Instead of addressing these core issues, TH-cam creators focused on discussing loadouts, loot boxes, systems, UX, and other superficial elements because it suited their content needs. But the truth is, after Verdansk, the game was never the same. Even though we call it Warzone, the game’s true name is Verdansk. Everything that followed was a downward spiral of poor decisions.
What Call of Duty needs to do is simple: make minor additions to Verdansk, give it a fresh coat of paint, and re-upload it. This would likely be their best move, as for the past four years, every attempt to fix something has only ended up breaking something else.
I quit playing cod after playing it for my entire life around the time MW2019s life cycle was ending. Glad to see I made the right decision as they haven't done a single good thing with any of their games since.
Hey ink, why not make a video where you describe your personal CoD? What would YOU build when given the money and devs? How what that look like? I would love to see every detail explained :)
@Inkslasher
I feel like you should send this to Blame Truth. Maybe he could learn how to talk into a mic.
I’ve stopped with MP for a month now. I’ve always loved zombies and zombies is great this year, it’s a shame I can’t enjoy MP anymore.
Same here zombies has been so fun
Only got BO6 for Campaign and Zombies
I can't believe Activision literally said "skill issue" and ignored everyone.
Man, bring back MW 2019.
Games still alive 😂best cod in a while
Remember when cod ghost multiplayer maps, doors were interact-able? Metal doors, huge metal doors, wooden doors, warehouse doors intractable. BO3/BO4 running on walls was, and is still the best game feature for BO games. WW/BO3 able to customize weapons in zombies instability when playing zombies? I don’t see why they changed that since then. Why re-grind a cod game again and again. Plus, purchased/grinded content in a previous game is never transferred over into the new game.
🤣🤣🤣🤣 this is what happens when they don’t listen to what we want
Exactly
I'm glad companies are starting to get consequences for their actions instead of being comfortable releasing bad content, being greedy, and not listening to fans on key issues.
I hope 2025 makes this the norm, business is supposed to be a two way street.
