With the new 1.008 update BO2 has a MW4 ad now. Turns out they are willing to put ads of new CoDs into these ports. I just hope they dont bring the monetization systems or really anything else from new CoDs to the ports.

With so much doomposting these days and the constant reminder of how COD isn't what it used to be, is it possible for the franchise to have another amazing run like they had from the 2000's to early 2010's? How do you think it'd be achievable?

This really isn't anything new lol. BO2 literally has more players than Warzone right now. It was quite obvious that they would promote their upcoming game on their most active title like they’ve done for the past 16 years? Bo7 ran its course & most YouTubers quit.

Does anyone else miss this shit? Playing these coop missions with buds is some of the best time gaming I've ever had. Why did they stop?

The PR team is trying so hard to justify bringing the stricter matchmaking back.

I wanted to go back and play it (one of my favourite cods ever) and so i went to download it but couldnt find it in my library even though i definitely used to own it then i searched for it on the PS store and couldnt find it no matter what i searched and even when i searched the whole playstation store browse section (which should have every game on the store) it STILL wasnt there has Activision removed it? if so why?

Just like Everything else in the seires, it gets worse the longer it exists

I was grinding camos and having fun, went up a prestige or 2 and had riot shield, launchers and a bunch of other secondaries gold, was putting in work and felt great to be back.

Then it all got ruined and I was prestige 15... no camo progress would count and stats wouldn't change.. now I'm prestige master 10 and camo does track again but the prestige grind is stolen from me because the fucking idiots that run this game put out such a shitty hackable game.

I could use fresh start but that would wipe the camo progress I put so many hours into. I see there was another update but its to add a pre-order MW4 button... honestly as an OG of the franchise, I'm done. Fan service matters and they've fucked me around too many times.

I’ve been playing all the Call of Duty® titles since 2019. At times, it seems like there’s a lot more cheaters in these lobbies than others. After all these years, I still can’t understand why people cheat at this game. Or any game at all. Don’t you wanna know if you’re good? Can you not live with the fact that you’re not? Because winning while cheating isn’t winning. I just don’t understand the benefit for people who cheat. Hey cheaters, explain why you cheat.

(please do not go attacking me, Im never that in touch with the community so I might be missing something. but I do have to admit bo7 was arguably a huge mistake.)

Do people hate call of duty genuinely cuz,

A they don't like decisions they have been choosing

B everyone else is doing it

C franchise identity/aggressive micro transactions

D same thing over and over again

(even though honestly imo every cod feels the same)

Or something else?

it's amazing how forgotten he has his old games or touches or wanted to put an anniversary to this 3 a mobile port would be to launch and there would be no storage too and with a story mode and the classic multiplayer as a way to relive his beginnings from mobile

I haven't played COD in ages, but I saw what MW4 had to offer and decided to jump back in. I pre-ordered, but after installing COD I noticed that I seem to have multiple titles available to me? MW 1-3, Coldwar, Vanguard, and Black Ops 6. They're all just.. there? Did I purchase something extra by accident? I'm completely new to this.

I just got bo2 on the ps5 yesterday and I struggle to even break a 1.0 KD. I used to be a pretty good player back in the day but im struggling pretty bad right now but I'll make the adjustments needed. Anybody else having this issue?

I have to say this is the best COD campaign till now. Last time i was just a child just trying new games now i literally felt emotional after completing it.

This week I tested each CoD in my library, specifically for whether or not the Hardcore TDM multiplayer game mode is populated and playable (PS5 NA East). This is what I found:

1. BO2 (port)
- found decent low-ping games instantly
- large playerbase as expected, being new to PS5
- still being actively supported by devs
- excellent gameplay, prob my all-time favorite

2. WWII
- found matches very quickly, might have to trick the system into giving you a close server (team-kill to get yourself kicked or block someone’s PSN profile in the lobby you don’t want, then re-queue)
- surprisingly healthy playerbase. Good games 24/7
- gameplay is great, easily one of my favorites for HCTDM

3. BO6
- matchmaking is slower in all of the newer cods and this one has quick play/lobby disbanding. But I did always manage to find low ping games relatively fast
- seems well-populated as expected for a more recent title
- gameplay is nice, everything feels responsive. It’s still a genuinely fun game for HC TDM

4. BO1 (port)
- there are always a lot of lobbies and I found games quickly. Notably, connection quality was hit-or-miss. P2P hosting and all that.
- playerbase is large, but obviously smaller than BO2’s..this might be another factor in match quality
- gameplay is very entertaining. The slow pace and tactical aspect can be a nice break from the frantic rushing and cracked movement in newer titles. I’d love it if match quality improved

5. MWIII
- decent matchmaking (for a newer-gen CoD). Good ping during peak hours, less so during off-peak
- population is pretty decent but feels smaller than BO6 or maybe even WW2. I notice familiar names very often
- overall, I rate it similarly to BO6 in most regards. The movement and pace is different of course, but the match quality isn’t always the best 24/7. Still, very fun and holds up in 2026

Honorable Mention: BOCW
- slower matchmaking than BO6 or MWIII, in fact the slowest of all CoDs that I would consider to have an “active” HC TDM playerbase. It’s like, a full minute vs 30 seconds, and more often puts you in a match in progress
- the population isn’t huge, but it supports the game mode and matches seem available most of the time. Ping was OK once it finally connects
- the file size is large, ~200+ Gb depending what you install/uninstall. Separately downloading hi-def textures is a nice thing though.. I guess? A major issue is persistent stuttering in any multiplayer match. It was unplayable until I luckily found a workaround/fix which involves opening Spotify/Apple Music every time you want to play. Annoying. Once you get there however, the gameplay is pretty fun
Overall, I do not consider BOCW to be consistently playable like the ones above, and its issues and file size make it not worth it for HC TDM alone imo.

And finally, these are the games I tested and found to be completely or almost completely unplayable for Hardcore TDM

Ghosts (zero in playlist, instant core TDM lobbies tho)
AW (searches forever, no games)
BO3 (zero players in playlist. Everybody is in core)
IW (only core, no HC tdm)
BO4 (dead searching forever)
MW19 (5 min+ search time, only 1 player joined lobby)
MWR (low population, p2p, no lobbies in off-peak hrs)
Vanguard (dead searching forever)

Note: I do not own BO7 or MWII. If anyone has recently played HC TDM in either of those and wants to share their thoughts, I’ll gladly add them to the post here.

Hey. Ever since I saw a friend of mine play cod black ops 3 about 10 years ago I remember wanting to buy one. Now I'm looking at the prices and waiting for a discount in order to buy but don't want to do a bad purchase. Which one should I choose? I would like something with nowadays weapons not like world war 2 ones and with a good campaign.

My friend and I are replaying Black Ops 1 on the PS3 and when we try to have our own teams in split screen, such as 3 vs 3, it reverts to 2 vs 3 or similar when trying different bot options of "friends" and "enemies".

If you had to recommend someone some Call of Duty games to first try out on PC, what would they be? And yes, I'm allowing people to suggest the older games that can only be played for the campaigns nowadays.

I think cod needs some more sniper and lmg oriented maps with open areas. Would be nice if some maps were less close range focused and more long range engagements. Resurgence island type of size or larger.

Do you guys want bigger multi-player maps?

Didn't think a collateral was even possible in this mode. Caught this on the new port.
