Does anyone even care about CoD anymore? It lost all relevance to Fortnite and is just trying to claw back relevancy by becoming more like it.

CoD is shit. MW3 was the worst experience I've ever had in FPS gaming thanks to its SBMM/EOMM, you're not just competing against other players anymore but the game's algorithm itself. Xbox can make CoD exclusive for all I care, I'm done playing them.
It's funny how some people still cannot see how artificial and annoying the matchmaking feels.
I guess those are the morons who dish out $40 for some garish skin bundle.
Anytime - Any game supersedes PING as the highest criteria for matchmaking, it permafricks its online, which CoD did years ago, which is why it hasn't felt fun for a long time.
Pubg and Apex fill my need for FPS anyways, and Xdefiant looks half way decent for a CoD replacement. Just hope they aren't also fricking up their match making with SBMM.

If you can't handle playing against people of your skill level maybe you aren't that good?
People who play like this need to get euthanized. Mindlessly mashing buttons and letting aim assist play the game isn't movement. These idiots couldn't even compete in Quake what a fricking joke
the mw3 matchmaking system will buck break homosexuals like this. for every game highlight like this, content creators will use vpns and go 0-36 for 10 games to get 1 (one) decent match
Except you don't you moronic wienersucker. The game always puts negative k/d idiots on your team if you're good. This is Activision's idea of balancing out teams, making solo players suffer and rewarding homosexuals who stack in pubs
Cod isn’t a team based game except for SnD. Even then it’s highly dependent on the top 2 players of each team

That homosexual is baiting. Even in TDM, if you have negative k/d morons on your team, they will feed the sweats and their killstreaks which will bite you in the ass too. This matchmaking system is fricking dogshit, it's not fun being a nanny for a bunch of braindead morons and dealing with movement kids on top of it all. Like how hard is it to add in a server browser holy fricking shit. It would fix these absurd queue times and feels less manipulative

No one is relying on team mates to directly get kills you fricking baiting homosexual. Bad team mates will feed sweats and put you at a disadvantage when EMPs and AUAVs get dropped on you. I consistently see lobbies where me and maybe some else ends with a positive k/d and then the rest are completely negative, meanwhile almost everyone on the enemy team has k/ds past 1.

That and constant hacking is basically why I don't play these games anymore. I miss MW1 where if the team sucked you can just jump servers. I even miss MW2 where it just dumped you in with randos. How anyone has fun with multiplayer fps anymore is beyond me, I assume you have to be on drugs

there’s nothing wrong with sbmm. Playing against players of equal skill is a far more engaging experience than being stomped by aim gods or doing the stomping against 8 year olds.
t. 2.00 k/d
“Engagement optimized matchmaking” the algorithm tracks your play history and determines your habits. So if you play an average of 8 games a night, the algorithm will give you 6 hard matches against better and equally skilled players, and then give you 2 easy matches against noobs. This incentivizes you to play more games to get satisfaction that you were previously deterred from. This practice increases player engagement which in turn increases the likelihood of spending money on cosmetic items
CoD games have not been made by subjective "fun factor" for about 15 years. They are made by spreadsheet. If the spreadsheet says this "increases engagement" they do it
Call of Duty has been overrun by sweaty tryhards who think they will become eSports players, its not a fun game anymore and Black Ops 6 wont save the series
A VISION! >CoD sells like shit because people only play it on gamepass >More smaller studios owned by Microsoft pay the price for Xbox division's frickup >More endless b***hing about how fricking stupid Microsoft's practices are as if we weren't already aware
actually it'' worse. when you buy something then it's free forever. but with subscriptions it's only available for a month then you have to pay for it again and again so it's never free.
>play game on subscription >like the game >buy the preorder ultimate edition heavily discounted (new copy) half a year later before it mysteriously disappears
i don't see the issue here, anon
Do people really think Normies are all going to stop playing CoD on PS just because of Gamepass? The game is still going to sell outrageously high on other consoles, and more people are gonna try it out because they don't need to spend 70 bucks to play it.
imagine there are two halves to a product's sales. imagine that one half completely vanishes. "The New COD Experiences A 50% Drop In Sales?! AN ALL TIME LOW FOR THE SERIES?" heads are going to roll because no matter how high the number is, it isn't anywhere close to the average number and that's bad we need to kill everyone around the guys responsible for this frickup
>The money is still going to the same place
Let's say that one company owns everything in a market, and let's say the products they sell are games and subscriptions. If the money from games decreases while the money from subscriptions rises by the same amount, stockholders (the important guys) are going to note that the money from games has starkly decreased. They will not care that the money from subscriptions has gone up, because that's not the product they're looking at. Microsoft gets the same amount of money, but they have more pressure put upon them to cut "weaker" links which is why Arkane and Tango got the chop.
They'll probably just reduce the budget massively to make it work.
Anyone with an ounce of a brain can see that the economics of gamepass aren't working at the moment.
The last one I played was world at war or something and even by then I was getting fed up with the blatant propaganda for which the game was being used as a vehicle as
Doesn't matter, Call of Duty isn't a video game anyway. It's a curated experience designed to keep low IQ morons paying money and rewarding them with easy lobbies.

Fricking swindlers. I hope somebody takes a fat shit on them.
With the price spike they're going to do, I bet it'll only take 3 months of GamePass to actually own the CoD game. But people will pay $30 a month, each month, for a year, not realizing this isn't the deal they think it is
This is a good business decision >one of the biggest games in the world >way more stupid people to take advantage of >easier to buy microtransactions when you don't spend $70 first >get the singleplayer only people roped into gamepass for other games >sub numbers for gamepass good for investors >more people that will forget to cancel their sub
and this is assuming there won't be any restrictions with the gamepass version
I refuse to believe CoD is STILL popular enough to incite federal shitflinging between corporations as to who gets the rights to publish it on their system. Sounds like suits still stuck in 2008.

Tango and Arkane were chopped because of Zenimax moronation and MS being way too hands off with their studios.
