I've taken a serious break from cod... as BO7 plays badly... and from what I've heard it's got significantly worse in S5.

Issue being 2 boxing? 🤔 As everyone hates SBMM. 🤣

We’ve temporarily disabled Split Screen in Multiplayer while we investigate an issue.

@Burger100 @TheXclusiveAce In the middle of gun fights the game freezes for about 5 seconds and I die. Monitoring my network, ping solid, network load low. The game needs serious serious work!

SIR PATRICK STEWART (1940-2026)

Before everything else, Patrick was defined by being born and bred in Yorkshire, the proud county in the north of England which he loved to the end. You could hear it in his accented voice and in the stern honesty with which he told you what he thought and felt. Yorkshiremen have no truck with half-truths or avoidance of big issues. He wore his heart on his sleeve, which made him a man to rely on, to admire and in my case, love.

We first met as ambitious young actors with the Royal Shakespeare Company half a century ago but we weren’t in the same productions. My first strong memory was a few years later, meeting him in the street in central London when he told me about an offer to take over a leading part in 'Star Trek'. “But Patrick think of your stage career in the UK. Do you really want to risk—getting lost in Hollywood for years and years?”. Well, he took the risk and thank goodness for us all that he did for not just his devoted Trekkies but film and theatre audiences, who marvelled at his using international celebrity to star in a string of cinema successes ('X-Men' of course) and in great classical plays by Shakespeare, Ibsen, Arthur Miller, Peter Shaffer, Pinter and Beckett at Stratford-upon-Avon, in London’s West End and on Broadway.

America was his adopted home, where he met his adored Sunny who has cared for him through sickness and health, through thick and thin. But he never forsook his origins: and the proudest achievement of the most respected and beloved actor of his generation on either side of the Atlantic, was his appointment as Chancellor of Huddersfield University in Yorkshire.

His farewell performance in 'Avengers: Doomsday' is yet to be seen.

It feels weird that is the first year of CoD I've ever had a negative W/L. For so many years I advocated for sticking through matches until the end unless the connection is terrible but not anymore. They measure fun and make decisions based on how often people leave games so I've decided to adapt and vote for my level of fun with my willingness to finish the match. Leaving more matches than I finish feels wrong but it represents my enjoyment with the current state of the game.

Legendary actor Sir Patrick Stewart, best known for his roles as Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek and Professor X in X-Men, has died. He was 86.

🚨BREAKING: All Britons may need ID to use social media, the UK's online safety regulator today announces

“This plan for a government ‘social media ban’ is a national ID system by the back door.

Both the government and Ofcom have admitted that children will get around the ban, which means the real effect will be normalising adults and children alike to hand over their passports just to get online.

Hundreds of thousands of people without ID, who tend to be poorer people, and many more who don’t want to risk handing their passports over to foreign tech companies will be locked out of huge parts of the internet.

The plan will kill anonymity online, whilst the UK’s culture of speech policing is reaching a crisis point. The policy is painfully misguided, an Orwellian assault on free speech and privacy, and will make children no safer at all.

The false illusion that children aren’t on social media will cause the companies to abandon all their child safety measures. The Government could be promoting meaningful safety measures and supporting parental controls that genuinely protect children - instead, they’re demanding government ID from the whole population just for uncensored internet access. It is authoritarian madness.”

Discord is about to put your public messages on Google

Discord will start making messages from Discoverable public servers searchable on Google and other search engines from mid-December.

The feature is ON by default in most regions, but you can opt out:

User Settings → Data & Privacy → turn off “Show my message content from Discoverable channels on web pages.”

In the EU, UK, Canada, Brazil, Australia and South Korea, it will be OFF by default.

Private servers, DMs and group DMs are not included. Usernames and avatars won’t appear alongside indexed messages.

A new PSN security issue lets attackers bypass passwords and two-factor authentication.

Players have reported unknown family members being added to their PlayStation Network accounts without permission

The biggest problem is that these added family members could potentially be used to access personal information, including saved payment details.

One affected user contacted PlayStation Support directly, and apparently even support doesn’t have a clear answer yet on what’s actually causing it.

For now, the advice is to:

• Reset your PSN password
• Change the email used for your PSN sign-in ID
• Check your Family Management for accounts you don’t recognize
• Contact PlayStation Support if anything looks suspicious

Sony still hasn’t publicly confirmed what’s behind the issue.

[SimJC74 @SimJC74]

Yep servers are bad... with them failing to send any game world data... usually microstutters.. and at worst 2-5secs where you think the game has crashed... don't mention SBMM/EOMM... dials cranked to max.

[Xclusive Ace @TheXclusiveAce]

Rough day on MW4 overall. I get glimpses of fun every now and then but more often than not, it's just exhausting. I had much more fun on the DMZ side of things but I'm not really interested in making DMZ content so I'm stuck dealing with MP.

VRR causes flickering and headaches.

Massive excuse for not optimising a game owned by Microsoft on a platform owned by Microsoft who have all the analytical development tools to identify the issue(s) on known xbox hardware and fix it. A multi billion company cannot be bothered.

[SimJC74 @SimJC74]

Forcing VRR as a requirement means that we have graphic engine performance issues again, for the 2nd year running. I have an LG 120Hz VRR monitor but my Series X does not support that VRR.

[CharlieIntel @charlieINTEL]

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 requires PS5 and Xbox Series X|S players to own a monitor that supports 120Hz and Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) in order to have 120FPS enabled

🚨NEWS: The Government wants Britons to face PASSPORT ID checks for social media access

"Children deserve real online protections, not a sweeping surveillance scheme that has failed across the world and will introduce new risks to their safety."

"This is not a policy for children, but one that affects every single adult using social media in the country. "

"The Government’s requirement that all of us show a passport or driving license to open a social media account is a national ID scheme by the back door." - Maya Thomas, Legal and Policy Officer

Well nobody will be answering the call this year. They've ignored the call of the community for several years now. Beta numbers down... preorders down... the below ad is a sign of desperation. Do you agree?

Xbox and Call of Duty have taken out a new ad in this month's GameInformer magazine for Modern Warfare 4

"For over 20 years, you answered the call"

🚨BREAKING: The Government announces all UK phones will require ID and surveillance software

This means that Britons will be left with CHILD-LOCKED devices unless they comply with digital ID checks

Protecting children is a noble goal, but the government mandating that all phones come with surveillance software is a crossing of the Rubicon that would make the UK one of the most authoritarian internet regimes in the world

Skill based matchmaking has to go. Just makes the games so miserable. Activision has to stop exclusively reading their data and start understanding the way players feel.

So they just cranked SBMM on today’s MW4 Update?
