DESCRIPTION: Goodbye, XLabs. The modded PC client that allowed us to safely play and enjoy Modern Warfare 2 (2009), Call of Duty Ghosts and Advanced Warfare is being shut down by Activision thanks to another cease and desist order. It hasn’t even been a week since SM2 was shut down and now they’ve decided to shut down XLabs too. The OG COD community is being phased out and they do NOT care about us…

*LIKE THIS VIDEO TO SAVE OG CALL OF DUTY*
I'm tired, man...
B-MO
Go back to sleep then my Slime.
Im really thinking about to stop this game😔
Fuck Activision.
RIP💀💀💀
they just dont want us to have fun anymore :(
Yep
I respect creators like yourself who don't sell out to activision respect and keep doing what you do man!
Dude they jut massacred everything beautiful about cod
Love your videos keep the great work my dude ❤
moneymoneymoney mmmmmmm
@@Amzyy lmao mate they do though, they use the millions they make buy those micro transactions. They even still get invited to COD early access etc, YT arent saints either. Merk I can respect because he’s fully putting these companies like activision on blast and rightfully should
WHEN WILL THEY GIVE UP
Activision: *NEVER!*
Maybe when people stopped buying their dog💩 games.
We should probably try our best as a community not to buy this years cod game.
@@The_Werty1 doesnt matter, whatever happens people will always buy the new cod games, the old community is very small compare to the current idiot mw2019 community
Rest in pieces. Down for the count
have you seen the people that still play cod? turning into the nba2k retards from 2017
Haven't seen Erik get this heated before, but he's making valid points. Activision doesn't give a shit about us anymore and they will do their absolute best to ruin our fun.
They are only interested in the shop sales.
He has a reason to be.
yeah well youll be buying their next game anyways.
We all are heated as well aren't we.
Even the overwatch community is pissed as well
Fr, started hearing that old MerkMusic rage at the end
Its crazy that people like 402Thunder and the Codfather were criticized to hell for crapping on Activision the past 3 years and now we realize they were right the whole time. I hope everyone at Activision is fired or replaced once microsoft takes over
Lol "now"??????? I remember some dude typing a long long sentence under my comment when I said that all the top streamers are cheating and acitivision is going to get worse with everything that they do now here it is....
Oh wow 402Thunder. I haven't watched that guy in years.
They won't. Microsoft refused to sack Mr. Kotic. And Microsoft don't exactly treat their Xbox studios nicely either. I'm glad my country is the only one in Europe seeing sense. Microsoft should not be allowed any more influence than they already do under any circumstance.

Call of Duty has been on a road that none of the original community wants to admit. Of all the UA-camrs, I wanted M3RK to speak on this the most. It's unfortunate that it had to be XLabs shutting down that got him to do it, but it needs to be said. They do not care about us, and they never will. All we can do as a community is support other games that have the ability to take down Activisions current hold on this genre. Thank you M3RK for saying something.
Jev said it best, "there's no passion projects anymore, just trying to make as much money as possible"
Just because it’s a “passion project” does not make it good automatically.
@@mackncheese1683 where did I ever say all passion projects are good.
That's sad true man
Not true though, theres aton of passion projects, just not from activision
@@mackncheese1683 he never said that, use your brain
The passion you show for this community is admirable ❤️
Activision needs to be humbled badly. They’ve gotten way too comfortable being in the position they’re in. I promise it will only get worse.
@Dejan Petkovic I'm on board with you 100%, but I just don't think it will be a big enough impact. Not enough people are going to boycott it and it will still make mega bucks, further solidifying Activision's mindset
@@wayne4714 because the idiots will still buy it and support it and not think smart on how these companies are going
@@wayne4714 If enough people do boycott it will hurt them enough. We don't need to make them bankrupt only hit them in their wallet hard enough that they notice. I'm going to be honest with you that kind of mindset that you have is part of the reason boycott's fail before they even start. Sewing that kind of disbelief in people is wrong especially when we are all in the same boat.
Ikr them laying claim to a game they own just like most people would lmao 🤣 it's soooooo disgusting
@@k4g675 wow @Viper-jr4sp, heres one of these idiots that you were talkin bout
So glad u made this video as ur one of the leading creators on cod and I know for a fact someone from activison will see this
Activision genuinely a slap in the face as a company by this point 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Right smh, I honestly am not buying the next cod
@@50.caluzi THANK YOU!
@@50.caluzi should've said that 5 years ago
@@50.caluzi 🫡🫡🫡
@@50.caluzi You gonna buy it don’t lie. They brainwashed you
Activision should feel proud about the clients made from their games because it shows how much the community loves them
What's funny is that those old games are literally unsafe to play online. They're full of hackers and vulnerabilities that can compromise your system , especially on PC. Plutonium and such launchers were literally the only viable and safe alternative to still play those games. Activision Blizzard 🤡
its hit or miss on the console versions but for PC though most of the older ones are safe because any cod from bo1 and before you can join custom servers which have no hackers because they have admins on 24/7 i still play the original cod and no cheaters now if the console versions did this they'd be more safe
I play mw3 on ps3 quite regularly not many players active but its good uncommon to get hackers
@@rileykernick1920Considering you need an account made before 2019 to even play mw3 is a start.
@@oneboredfool9578 the harder bit is you needed to play mw3 before the name change update. Which is a shame coz its such a good game on ps3
He's not just tired, he's sick. And tired.
XLabs will be missed. At least we can be glad it happened.
What?
Fr i only played old cods RIP COD pc now back to CSGO for me
does this effect plutonium?
@@thesuperelasticwaistband645 no. But i hope they leave it alone.
Bro I don't have a PC but I'm still angry with Activision, this is a really dumb move and are just killing the community while it still being pretty small
we appreciate what you're doing eric. keep it up
Activision needs to be humbled, we need to boycott
Wont ever happen. They have to many sheep buying the same shit year after year
I agree
Don't buy the next cod and stay away from bundles this franchise needs to burn to the ground
Agreed...fuck em
Im not playing. Ive already deleted all cods ive had downloaded.
Never in my life have I seen merk this mad
I've seen Eric rage alot in the past but the anger and disappointment in his voice towards the end of the video almost made me tear up
it did make me tear man i can feel just a the pure hatred and disdain
Yo man, I can relate to the waking up from a nightmare except I just woke up from a night terror and almost had a God damn stroke
Can we PLEASE boycott them now?
You can, if the casual community actually figures out what activision is doing.
I hope the next entry sells 0 copies
I already am
Lol sure bud
I started years ago lol
Haven’t heard Eric Swear this much since 2015
I recently uninstalled the MW2 2022 and wont be buying any further Activision/Blizzard products, I suggest everyone to do the same. Unshackle yourself from the oppressive actions Activision has performed over the last years. They took away our childhood, our origins... All for a quick buck.
Took you long enough
Not really a “quick buck.” More like huge, big, grand bucks. But yeah, I’m throwing deuces.
Literally cod will ALWAYS have a place in my heart for my favorite gaming franchises, but it’s golden days are LONG behind it. Activision’s only interest at this point is shoving as much stuff as they can at us in the newer games(which aren’t very good). And do things to hurt the older cods and this is well just adding another nail on the coffin.
Too bad the majority of the playerbase won't care and keep playing.
The only thing we would have left could possibly be modded zombies
This news is just so sad I don't even have a PC I can't even play the games but these clients have been reviving my childhood favorite games and Activision is just being such an idiot and don't even know why this needs to happen.
Yep not only did these clients fix fov, fps issues but also they're hacker free and 100% safe now you can no longer get that rip og cod i guess
@@Amzyy yup it's just so sad not only that but it also gave people with a PC a way to enjoy cod again (because these new games are nothing compared to what they were back then) it's just so confusing on why they went after xlabs. I understand sm2 as you didn't have to pay for it and I understand that xlabs lets you get all the supply drop items for free but I don't understand why Activision hates the people that made them rich
the only thing i’m able to love from this video is how passionate he is in the video and how much he swears also shows me this really did stress him out
The worst part is you know for a fact that Activision knows that they’re pissing us off, they just don’t care
They do care. They care about us having fun without perpetually paying them.
Thank You COD You May Rest In Peace
This is the angriest I've seen him in a whole, I really do wish we could all go back to the og cod games they were so much fun
Activision is just making their reputation worse and worse
DO NOT BUY THIER NEXT GAME.
😮 yet each game is in the top 10 sales each year.
@@Pegarexucorn Kids dont understand.
@@RealFinalCionide Ture, but it'll keep providing entertainment for me when they go "le Activision bad!" For the thousandth time.
@@Pegarexucorn They are selling out to microsoft, thats why they are doing all of this. Lets scam our consumers into oblivion just for the sake of an extra paycheck.
Loving this aggressive merkmusic, energy is getting me pumped up💀💀💀
So sad to see, it feel’s personal now
it is personal
they want to kill our fun safe communities so people are forced to play the newest games and spend money on their shitty products
im done with cod, for good.
Really wanting us to play mw22 and buying bundles because we're enjoying the older CoDs over the new one
Yup. It’s personal. Boycott activision, hit them where it hurts… in their wallets. Dont buy any cods till Crack-Division learns their lesson
It really isn’t.
@@mackncheese1683 maybe not for you, but from literally everyone else in this comment section, it is.
i’ve have felt what you’re now feeling for YEARS now. finally a louder voice gets a fire lit under them
That passion right at the end goes hard. Got me hyped up. #letcodburn
I absolutely love the passion bro. Some of my best moments come from bo3 and its a damn shame i cant play that game anymore.
Man this is..im at a loss for words...What kind of company hates their fanbase this much
You'd be surprised, activision is pretty close to being on par with nintendo now.
Activision is.
Facepunch
If they know people still buy their game next year they don’t care
Nintendo
i was so excited for both sm2 and the bo3 client, and both of those hopes just had to be crushed man, im really hoping there can be atleast some kindof bo3 client eventually, and i pray plutonium doesnt get slammed next
Anyone remember the days when a studio actually had a face and a voice that communicated with the fans and feedback was taken seriously? Yhea…..
Unintended or not the freeze frame at the beginning perfectly summed up everyone’s feelings after this got announced Activision really further trying to anger the community by giving them another middle finger a week after sm2 go the hammer (edit thats not a freeze frame he’s actually just starting at the camera with a blank expression so it was intentional)
Can anyone ever recall Erick ever being this pissed in a video because I can’t 😢
First for me
@@gildedspark8235 I know bro the comment was more rhetorical but as a somewhat empath feeling his anger was astounding
Activision about to send themselves a cease and desist
Activision really has vendetta against us. 😡
THANK YOU FOR BEING A VOICE FOR US ERIC. WE ARE ON YOUR SIDE ❤
Never used XLabs and will never have the opportunity to do so. *Screw Activision.*
When Eric starts yelling, you know shits gonna hit the fan
hopped on today to play some nice custom zombies with the boys and woke up to BOIII being shutdown 😭
I actually feel depressed watching this. It hurts watching Merk be so upset because he's so right and Activision are screwing up majorly here
DO NOT BUY THIER NEXT GAME !!
Calm down with the parasocial relationship. Not healthy, bro.
@@Pegarexucorn I'm not out here buying Dream merch. Chill out, "bro".
Really good take on this topic. R.I.P X Labs, had some great times on there.
I was optimisic about MW2 2022. So far with how the game has progressed and the actions of Activision, what a shame.
Lol that's was your first problem having faith in Activision
all of our nightmares became a reality.
COD Community: Having fun on older games
Activision: We don’t do that here
That moment when Activision stoops to Nintendo's level.
Atleast Nintendo is still making good games, Activision has neither.
@@BRUH-lx3jv Maybe Zelda, we don't talk about Scarlet/Violet lol
@@headcrush_7661 Scarlet/Violet's fine, not bad but certainly not the best.
They are also taking down mods on BOTW.
Just watched Jev's video, immediately saw your's. You guys are so real man, saying what we all feel
Damn... Rip my favorite client
Thank you M3RK. for doing these videos. And i really do hope that Activision sees these and realizes that the need to do something and not put out only shit.
😂😂😂😂😂
I’ve just finished Jev’s video on the situation,
Man this is awful what Activision is doing. They are so threatened by a couple thousand players wanting to play old CoD’s safely and have populated lobby’s. The community needs to band together and create a fund to stop Activision from their reign of terror…
You're so corny lmao
Instead making fun against activision, make that usable to make some good games : )
"we just living in bobby kotick world" -a bald man
This video perfectly captures the emotions of the COD community. Make Activision Great Again!!
Ay Merk, make sure your treating yourself well. I think we can all agree that this is extremely frustrating, but man the rage that comes off of ya near the end.
If plutonium gets shut down, we absolutely need to boycott them. Infact, we should prepare for it, sooner than later.
Totally will i definitely be the first sign it
I can predict 80% likely it is gonna be shut down. I predicted IW4x being shut down after SM2.
The absolute dead face at the beginning😂
Lmao indeed
They are already going after plutonium I can feel it.
God darn it... Activision Makin me angry even tho i don't even own any cod games, I guess if im getting a new cod game I'll just pirate it.
Oh wait I'm an idiot
Go outside dude. You don't even play CoD and this is upsetting you? Seriously, do something else. That ain't healthy chief
Hey Eric, been watching you for a while and yea feels like a slap in the face to all us OG COD players. 😮💨
as a community we all should go on strike against activision
Oh sheet he is PISSED😦
Activision leaves old games in a broken state and when the community comes along to fix it for them they're like "no, you can't do that", it's so disgusting.🤢
rip boiii, man its good to hear you (as you usually do) speak the truth everybodys thinking.
Big video game companies try not to make bad decisions challenge (impossible)
Today’s not a good day, fleshy mammals.😢💔
Remember when buying a calling cars in BO1 used to be bought with in game currency you couldn’t pay for but had to play for
last cod i enjoyed was bo3, loved mw3 and bo2 and i can say i’m 100% sure we will never get a genuinely good cod like any of those ever again
this infuriates me so much. countless people i dont even watch anymore are making videos about this and its on my recommended. is there even anything the community could do? or even the content creators?
stop buying their games and bundles is the most effective thing we can do
Move on. Play a good game like Risk of Rain 2 or Dawn of War or whatever you're into that isn't a live service game.
We as a community should stop buying COD games, so that they'll have to listen to us.
What if no one complied with Activistions' cease and desist notice? Would the company choose to pursue a legal battle in court? If that were the case, I believe our community could collectively address Activisions' perceived unethical practices and seek clarification and resolution. Isn't it reasonable to assume that this approach could provide us with answers?
Lol, they would hire the best possible lawyer imaginable and pour every penny they could scratch together just to shut it down. Lactivision
Its activistion, they have more lwayers than youll ever have/need.
The problem with legal fights is that it's expensive. The court costs would kill xlabs on it's own.
Right... billions vs thousands of dollars. Stay delusional
@@Pegarexucorn ?
I am an OLD COD player from Japan. In Japan, where I live, the PC version of COD is not a big deal, so I used to play COD4 mw2 BO2 using overseas servers with 100-280 ping. Activision's actions this time are destructive to the community and we need to protest them by not buying the next COD.
I played IW4X for the whole time it was out had so much fun, i was booted off last night and not able to play my fav games RIP MW2 2009 i will miss you dearly 😢
We need to get this trending
if the xlabs and sm2 and plutonium teams joined forces they could smash the game fr
I still have the xlabs launcher installed and have iw4x, people are still playing on the servers currently.
Really such a shame they did this.
rip x labs was the only way i could experince the og games
The fact bo2 is 60$ in 2023 is crazy
That's why you get a physical copy it's cheaper for console PC it's complicated back before steam you had to buy games through going to a shop buying it
WDYM? I got it for free :)
@@declangaming24 Yeah but in this day and age I aint going back to a 720p 30fps console lmao
@@ThisUsernameSystemF-ckingSucks bro forget 4K BO2 is still the goat
im a trickshotter since 2012 and this day is one of the worst days in the og cod com history
Its up to the bigger youtubers and streamers to tell everyone to not buy the new cod and boycott activision
Gonna start playing cod ww2 again it's clearly aged very well, 2017 me would have never believed I'd ever say that.
Bro hopefully they don’t go after plutonium dawg😭😭😭
There going to do it
Yay Nuketown 2025 TDM (Domination if you get lucky) for the nth time! So great so fun 😃
@@Zombi123killer they're
HOLY SHIT! I've never seen you so freaking mad and I've watched you for just under 8 years
i woke up and cried when i seen this!
Im just hoping that maybe their doing all of this because they are going to do something like these clients themselves, like a client with all the old games that has dedicated servers and all dlc and stuff like that included, but saldy i know thats not the case, hopefully these CaD’s get revoked or something, and we can have our childhood games back🙏
#BOYCOTT ACTIVISION
I already wasn't planning on getting this years game due to hating MW22, but this is the nail in the coffin. Hit em where it hurts. Don't give them a single cent until something good is done
RIP CoD, Activision actively trying to kill their franchise
Ive never seen u so mad man… i agree with u %100 they dont care about us og players not one bit
Damn bro, if this doesn’t tell people that Activision is shady then I don’t know what will.
I just downloaded the xlabs launcher last month and it got shut down ....only a month of nostalgia for me. Unbelieveble !!
We need to give them the bud light treatment
It’s there games they can do what they want, we can still go back to the old cods
Honestly I hope the acquisition goes through and we can get a Halo MCC for COD from COD4 - BO2, full cross play and 4K, that would save COD for me
i would buy that right away if they make that and if it's actually good
Yeah if they don't f- that up, too. MCC took around 5 years to be playable.
I really hoped that the community would mod Infinite Warfare, but it looks like that will never happen
it truly is a sad day
Call of Duty is against fun in the current year :)
The fun police is after us again lmao 🚨
Getting flashbacks from the Halo Online debacle.
