Who would have thought that a series that has grossed over one billion dollars could be hated so much? Don’t get me wrong, there are clearly a lot of fans out there that have insightful things to say about the game, but it would seem Call of Duty has become the Nickelback of video games.
GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Imagine that.
Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?
Wild theory
Internal Army documents obtained by Motherboard provide insight on how the Army wanted to reach Gen-Z, women, and Black and Hispanic people through Twitch, Paramount+, and the WWE.
Instead of trying to get them to join then military through bs trends why not instead tell em of the benefits that joining the military bring? Least in times of peace and without the threat of war, having your studies paid in full sounds better than "hey you can do what you do in COD by joining the army, isn't that cool?"
I think it is absurd that the US military has millions if not billions of dollars in their advertising budget. It is absurd that they have an advertising budget.
A bit on the nose isnt it...like killin in the game...join up and kill in real life
COD haters, the worst fan boys in video games
I am actually having a lot of fun with the single player portion of blops 2.
that's because more then half of COD players are suck at the game. No wonder they hates the game.
i like black ops 2, im more of a jrpg guy, buy i am having fun with bo 2. and i dont think everyone hates COD games, they hate all the idiot hardcore fanboys.
I hate CoD, bland rinse and repeat game for the military/gun enthusiast ....it does nothing compelling for story telling, gameplay, graphics, or any sort of technical achievement other than being really well marketed and a easy to play for lots of people to scream profanity at each other. Many love to hate the game bc half of the users are simpletons
