bo6 is by far the most disappointing cod to date. skill based ttk, ai generated content, and the fact that they constantly lie to us about it. The game is actively dying its all activisions fault
bro I’ve been saying this activision only cares about getting their money they won’t listen until ppl stop playing their game and stop buying cod and skins every year
There’s a really good video by a guy named KingEmperorPenguin that might explain why people keep playing CoD even after all these years. He argues these games are tied to people’s identity, and the community they built for themselves around the game; they CANT leave. He was talking more about Star Wars than cod, but the same principle applies. Most players feel attached to cod and won’t give it up because it’s party of their identity
Protest with your wallets people….I can’t stress that enough. You have your bully these companies into being scared of not making money. Only then will we get change….
I try out most cods but ever since like 2019 MW ive only been able to really get into them for like the first month or two on launch. After that ammount of time it starts feeling like im constantly playing against the top 10 players in the world. I want more casual matches again. I want to have fun.
This is why ive stuck to zombies on BO6. The campaign and zombies is peak but the multiplayer is horrendous unless im playing a party gamemode like Infected
If people want to play a good game there are hundreds of better games. I go home and brainrot on headshot Camo challenges. Nobody goes to McDonald’s and expects a gourmet meal, it’s slop nothing more
I’ve been enjoying stalker 2 recently. The state of the game is horrendous honestly, but the core game is great. They’ve been constantly pushing patches out and you can tell the devs actually care about the game. I’m so glad I didn’t buy bo6 and instead used gamepass. Wish I would have done the same with mw3.
That bs is what convinced me to delete the game off Game Pass as I can't support their actions. Then again, the only way to get Activision to course correct their greed is to cost them billions of dollars which is unlikely as long as they have their addicts buying the bundles and cod points.
SIMPLE solution, let's all just get back on and revive the older, BETTER CoD games! I'm still playing everything before Cold War because the Zombies is top tier in the old games, so is the MP let's be honest.
I’ve been playing mw2 a lot over the last week on Xbox One and can still find decent sized lobbies. There are hackers and sweats, but it’s still pretty playable and it’s nowhere near as hacked as it was back on the PS3 after the game’s life cycle was over.
@Rock-n-Metal-Realm it seems like since everyone's cheating in the new games ANYWAY then why not at least play the better games that were made with some passion?
No offense, but if you are not playing ranked at a high level then you will prob never see cheaters. The complaints come from the streamers that have to deal with cheaters every lobby because of their hpr
I had hope for this COD because Treyarch was the dev team to create some of the most legendary CODs ever made. It's so saddening to see it get to this point
It just sucks how Activision is only getting backlash and it will not matter whatever unless they get a threat where they’ll lose money and CoD will put a slightly bigger piece of cheese on the plate to entice those players and Activision will win them back easily. I haven’t played a single CoD above MW19.
The fact that people still play COD is mind blowing, last cod I played was Cold War , I’m not dumb enough to keep buying a game that I’m not gonna like because Activision could care less about what we want
Cold War was the last COD I bought as well. I haven't bought another since especially for $70. For the first time in years I downloaded warzone since it was free and after a few games I still do not want to play it lol.
I stopped playing CoD back in Vanguard. I picked up MWII when it came out, but then that whole situation with SM2 happened... so I stopped again. I aint picking it up again, I'll just play Battlefield.
Cod players are the problem, because they keep giving Activision money. But they’ll never realize it or admit it. And even worse they won’t stop playing the game.
I bought black ops 6 full price for zombies only, and when i decided i’d try multiplayer out, it was super fun until around level 45-55 where i was put in the faze optic level lobbies. I stopped having fun with multiplayer because it’s filled with lag and sweats and i just dont have the energy to compete anymore after prestiging once. I’m going to stick to zombies from now on lol
if it's true that the 2025 cod is a direct continuation of BO2 then I think the nostalgia buying will be even worse because as we all know BO2 is the most loved in the BO series
Activision will probably go back to the futuristic route because people have been feeling nostalgic for those games recently and then the shill channels will hype up the game and the cycle will continue. The only way for this to end is for people to actively say “NO” and refuse to buy new Call of Duty games until Activision properly addresses the chronic problems of the franchise.
It’s a weird system. This isn’t my job but I don’t post long form content on cod because when I play alone, I have the issue like it can’t find anyone I have a 1.71 kd and a 0.89 win loss but when my wife joins it fixes. It’s frustrating
@ understandable and hey I’m familiar with cod been playing since 2007 and yeah I hate some new things the reason I play is not nostalgia it’s familiar sometimes I come back to something I know, the issue is if I don’t have someone “new” to the game or like a lower level the game match making freaks out and it will either put me in dead lobbies of like 5 people (3v2) or take 10 minutes to load and puts me again pc streamers and pc mouse and keyboard. I’m good not that good I am on console I stream mostly narrative games on my account and occasionally play multiplayer something but I’m never the best around
You would think Call of Duty 6 would be the moment people quit, not because of its issues but the fact is that even though you buy the physical game, if the servers shut down you no longer can play it. Essentially everyone payed $70+ for a game that won't work in the future.
I don't even hate SBMM because I want an easier game, I hate it because lobbies are laggy or there's usually a slot or two to fill at all times, and because i'm just constantly being shuffled around. The hard matches make it worse, but the main issue is it's one of the most popular FPS games, yet it feels like a ghost town at all times.
I'm not surprised. The community is so fed up that people who are into the old school COD are have brought back COD commentaries and it's been nice to see!
It isn't even SBMM anymore. It's engagement optimized matchmaking. The system predetermines if you'll win or lose based on how you're doing. The whole aim is to breed uncertainty, which is what hooks you like with gambling.
@ in the golden age I’d have disagreed with you. Fast forward 10 years and now it seems like it’s not even debatable now. Amen 🍻 single player > multiplayer
First COD I’ve played since Cold War and I just dropped it in light of the AI usage, obvious skill based damage, and other suspect shenanigans. It’s really a shame because I actually did like the gameplay for the most part and the campaign was decent.
my question is...who actually buys the stuff in the shop? it has to be the npc bots. no good players spend the money, they just buy the game and then gun.
Dude the zombies mode feels so soulless… when multiplayer and zombies/other modes aren’t doing well you exacerbate the issue that people don’t want to play. Sometimes people swap back and forth between the modes to pass time while they try to get a lobby in one or the other and when both are dead and or dying then you have a dying player base on a new game you just spent a lot of money making and promoting.
Content creators and influencers have the real power. Im still buying bundles and blackcell as a normie while getting out the mud in SBMM. Just being honest lol
I feel SUPER bad for the full time content creators that have COD dedicated channels. They are stuck playing this hot garbage because they’re literally relying on this game to put food on the table….
Well it’s their own fault for shilling for every new game and not trying to find a new niche or (like the other guy on this comment said) get a more sustainable job.
Finally, a creator who says what everyone else is avoiding! If you want real change, just don't buy the next game. Don't give them a single penny. The only language they understand is dollars. 💸 You've got my sub!
This is why I mainly play singleplayer games anymore. I can't keep up with the skill gap anymore due to not having 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to play the game. I have buddies who are COD loyalists who will make every excuse in the book for Activision, and it pisses me off. But it is what it is.
I’ve honestly had no problems with cheaters or matchmaking. I’m also usually ranking 1st on my team so it can’t be skill based matchmaking messing up my lobbys. One thing I don’t get is how nobody is talking about all these bugs that have been in the game for over a month now.
My biggest issue with cod is definitively sbmm or whatever you want to call anything that relates to matchmaking. I notice when I’m playing with friends how smooth the gameplay is and the movement & the shooting is fluid. But then when I’m solo, 75% of shootouts I get into feel like I never had a chance from the start. I mean it’s like a very small fraction of a second the window I have to react to an enemy. Aiming somehow gets harder, I ads at an enemy and it feels like a frame or two goes missing and I’m not hitting shots especially sniping 🙄 (1.65 kd player btw while camo grinding currently)
I’m the exact same bro. The sbmm is so strong trying to pull everyone down to a 1 KD. I don’t understand why we need it. “Oh but the new players” bruh there hardly are any😂. Most the people that play cod are recurring players every year who are already decent at the game and it’s not like there was sbmm during the golden age of cod back in bo1-2 and mw2. Why do we need it now???
Just letting anyone know that Steam has 50% off sale on the O.G. Modern Warfare games right now for the Winter Sale on PC. Games themselves $10 - $20. Trilogy and Dlc $70 (All 3 Modern Warfare games with DLC content)
One thing you forgot to mention is how much space this game increasingly takes up in storage with the constant updates. I don’t want to delete other games I play in order to play COd
Nothing is going to happen. They hit the jackpot with Microsoft buying them now they can literally keep doing this forever with no worries. This is what happens when you let massive corporations constantly run unchecked.
As a player who played Wolf3D, Medal of Honor, Counter-Strike and then COD almost 4 decades ago the only problem with this game is the server. I didn't play any COD Online Multiplayer because I play COD because of their Campaigns only Warzone 2.0, before those years I was a PUBG player so automatically I fell in love with how 2.0 looked vibrant and could freely move like a parachuting slide, and then some are very fun, then I realized there's a problem within gunfights itself. I mean, I was the one who fired first, locking their head and neck but with 2 to 4 bullets I died instantly, I have like 34 ms but it seems I was on 280+ ms when in a gunfight or someone was near me. I'm in Cambodia and for me, the dedicated server they are showing is not real. This game is exclusively for the US server, outside it it's very very unplayable if you want to be competitive, people didn't realize this,😊 and for me? I just realized, this is constantly my cycle since Warzone 2.0
If theres anything Destiny 2, CoD, and League of Legends have in common, it's a playerbase that insists they hate the game and are thinking of quitting, only to continue to play everyday.
Not me. I hated Ghosts and MW3 and have barely touched either. I skipped Black Ops 4 and Vanguard entirely. And I have played every game released since Call of Duty 2.
Helldivers 2 is now my current go to if I want to shoot guns. The devs listen and change the game to its players. It’s one that I’ll support as much as I can
Just bring back warzone 1 and print new skins,fix bugs & every so often release a new map. I guarantee you they will be making money left right and center .
Activision does not care in order to stop them. We must STOP purchasing ALL products GAMES, DLC previous GAMES. When they lose money, they pay attention.
Yk i could deal with the hackers from time to time and the sbmm but what made me take a breakf from bo6 was the ai. The ai icons banners and VOICE ACTORS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE BO2. Its just annoying to see art squandered over cooperate greed. 3:36

It’s a positive reinforcement loop
Cod however has set this system up instead
The better you are at the game, the more you will be punished, the more you will be punished, the less likely you are to play
All in the name of protecting, as you said, little Timmy no thumbs, but again here’s another problem, this system doesn’t just punish the good players, it also punishes the bad players that it protects
Here why
The worse a player is at the game, they less likely they are to play it
And cod has set up a system that rewards you for being bad
Making it even worse cuz the worse a player is, the less likely they are to play, and the less likely you are to play, the worse you will be, but the worse you are, the more the game rewards you, and the more the game rewards you, the worse you become, leaving you even less likely to play the game
Which is a negative reinforcement loop
This is the system the game has designed in the name of player retention and player engagement
IT DRIVES GOOD AND BAD PLAYERS TO NOT WANT TO PLAY
It artificially tries to rig the game forcing inconsistent results because their data shows them that inconsistent results, are better for keeping players on the game
Problem is, it’s an artificial forced rigged system to achieve those inconsistent results for any skill level of player
In the golden era, you had inconsistent results regardless of skill because their was no sbmm or eomm, you got inconsistent results naturally and kept playing because of it
You are here defending the very system that destroyed cod, your defending an algorithm that drives players out of the game regardless of skill
bo6 is by far the most disappointing cod to date. skill based ttk, ai generated content, and the fact that they constantly lie to us about it. The game is actively dying its all activisions fault
bro I’ve been saying this activision only cares about getting their money they won’t listen until ppl stop playing their game and stop buying cod and skins every year
good lord the game is rated mature for a reason kids should be banned not adults for cussing..
exactly, i keep telling people the reason good games die is nobody plays them.
There’s a really good video by a guy named KingEmperorPenguin that might explain why people keep playing CoD even after all these years. He argues these games are tied to people’s identity, and the community they built for themselves around the game; they CANT leave. He was talking more about Star Wars than cod, but the same principle applies. Most players feel attached to cod and won’t give it up because it’s party of their identity
Mm

I try out most cods but ever since like 2019 MW ive only been able to really get into them for like the first month or two on launch. After that ammount of time it starts feeling like im constantly playing against the top 10 players in the world. I want more casual matches again. I want to have fun.
you can still play modern warfare on ps4 luckily that game still has full matches and hasnt been messed with if you want the old school cod
I think it should be normal. It is a computer game after all. No need to sink multiple months in a row.
The game he is playing is called Vampire Hunters
This is why ive stuck to zombies on BO6. The campaign and zombies is peak but the multiplayer is horrendous unless im playing a party gamemode like Infected
Campaign is kinda mid tbh but yeah both it and zombies are solid. I just wish it wasn't always online
Bro has bad ragebait
Campaign is much better than 5 cods since mw19 and IW
zombies is no where near peak💀maybe if your first zombies was bo4

Stop buying? Yes this might work… but more competition will force a better product for all for everyone…
If people want to play a good game there are hundreds of better games. I go home and brainrot on headshot Camo challenges. Nobody goes to McDonald’s and expects a gourmet meal, it’s slop nothing more
That’s the problem, cod in the golden era wasn’t bad
The final straw for me was the AI and voice actor situation, which I feel is most Activision doing. Definitely way better games to be playing rn
I’ve been enjoying stalker 2 recently. The state of the game is horrendous honestly, but the core game is great. They’ve been constantly pushing patches out and you can tell the devs actually care about the game. I’m so glad I didn’t buy bo6 and instead used gamepass. Wish I would have done the same with mw3.
That bs is what convinced me to delete the game off Game Pass as I can't support their actions.
Then again, the only way to get Activision to course correct their greed is to cost them billions of dollars which is unlikely as long as they have their addicts buying the bundles and cod points.
People keep buying CoD anyways
@@therealjaystone2344 lol right
SIMPLE solution, let's all just get back on and revive the older, BETTER CoD games! I'm still playing everything before Cold War because the Zombies is top tier in the old games, so is the MP let's be honest.
I’ve been playing mw2 a lot over the last week on Xbox One and can still find decent sized lobbies. There are hackers and sweats, but it’s still pretty playable and it’s nowhere near as hacked as it was back on the PS3 after the game’s life cycle was over.
@Rock-n-Metal-Realm it seems like since everyone's cheating in the new games ANYWAY then why not at least play the better games that were made with some passion?
It sucks to hyperfixate. On money or IP.
Until people stop buying call of duty every year nothing will change. There is a reason you vote with your wallets
I know this is anecdotal but I’ve played COD for 100s of hours on PC these last few years and have experienced maybe a handful of cheaters at most
That’s fair enough, it’s worse for others. Really just depends of the player and region. Hackers are a lot more concentrated in ranked.
No offense, but if you are not playing ranked at a high level then you will prob never see cheaters. The complaints come from the streamers that have to deal with cheaters every lobby because of their hpr
Im tired of not knowing if someone I played with is legit or not.

I had hope for this COD because Treyarch was the dev team to create some of the most legendary CODs ever made. It's so saddening to see it get to this point
It just sucks how Activision is only getting backlash and it will not matter whatever unless they get a threat where they’ll lose money and CoD will put a slightly bigger piece of cheese on the plate to entice those players and Activision will win them back easily.
I haven’t played a single CoD above MW19.
I’m hoping they lost a ton of money with people playing on game pass
The fact that people still play COD is mind blowing, last cod I played was Cold War , I’m not dumb enough to keep buying a game that I’m not gonna like because Activision could care less about what we want
Cold War was the last COD I bought as well. I haven't bought another since especially for $70. For the first time in years I downloaded warzone since it was free and after a few games I still do not want to play it lol.
They care why do you think they keep doing the nuke town map because they know they will be burned at the steak if they don’t.
I'm playing Black Ops 6 right now while I listen to your video
Made a vid talking about how they messed up an event that came out today. It literally already gives you the rewards without even playing
Meanwhile XDefiant dropped all the coolest content ever while sunsetting the game. Wild times
Im glad my interest in Cod has been dropping. Black ops 6 is the first black ops I decided to skip and I'm happy with my decision

I stopped playing CoD back in Vanguard. I picked up MWII when it came out, but then that whole situation with SM2 happened... so I stopped again. I aint picking it up again, I'll just play Battlefield.
forced crossplay also ruined cod for many
I play on Xbox and disabled it
@@RegiyThorntonSame
Cod players are the problem, because they keep giving Activision money. But they’ll never realize it or admit it. And even worse they won’t stop playing the game.
I think they have Stockholm Syndrome
How to sum up bo6 in one sentence.
Zombies cooked, multiplayer is cooked, and campaign is mid-tier.
They need to bite the bullet and make a standalone zombies collection, the amount of money theyd make from would be crazy
they will never make a standalone zombies game, they know zombies is a selling point of cod why would they detract from their flagship game series
I bought black ops 6 full price for zombies only, and when i decided i’d try multiplayer out, it was super fun until around level 45-55 where i was put in the faze optic level lobbies. I stopped having fun with multiplayer because it’s filled with lag and sweats and i just dont have the energy to compete anymore after prestiging once. I’m going to stick to zombies from now on lol
Love starting a brand to build off of Call of Duty just for it to go even more downhill then MW3 2023
if it's true that the 2025 cod is a direct continuation of BO2 then I think the nostalgia buying will be even worse because as we all know BO2 is the most loved in the BO series
Activision will probably go back to the futuristic route because people have been feeling nostalgic for those games recently and then the shill channels will hype up the game and the cycle will continue. The only way for this to end is for people to actively say “NO” and refuse to buy new Call of Duty games until Activision properly addresses the chronic problems of the franchise.

It’s a weird system. This isn’t my job but I don’t post long form content on cod because when I play alone, I have the issue like it can’t find anyone I have a 1.71 kd and a 0.89 win loss but when my wife joins it fixes. It’s frustrating
U have a good KD. mine is like 0.84 which according to Activision is right at average
@ understandable and hey I’m familiar with cod been playing since 2007 and yeah I hate some new things the reason I play is not nostalgia it’s familiar sometimes I come back to something I know, the issue is if I don’t have someone “new” to the game or like a lower level the game match making freaks out and it will either put me in dead lobbies of like 5 people (3v2) or take 10 minutes to load and puts me again pc streamers and pc mouse and keyboard. I’m good not that good I am on console I stream mostly narrative games on my account and occasionally play multiplayer something but I’m never the best around
Whoever bought bo6 are unironically bots
You would think Call of Duty 6 would be the moment people quit, not because of its issues but the fact is that even though you buy the physical game, if the servers shut down you no longer can play it. Essentially everyone payed $70+ for a game that won't work in the future.
Hey! People that still play COD! Please collect your "I'm a dunce" medals here: 🎖️🎖️🎖️🎖️
The vibe of CoD has dramatically changed during and after MW2019.

Gee willikers I'm already here and it's only been 45 seconds
That's why gamepass rocks
Imagine not getting it through XGP especially when you’re a skeptical fan of COD
I don't even hate SBMM because I want an easier game, I hate it because lobbies are laggy or there's usually a slot or two to fill at all times, and because i'm just constantly being shuffled around. The hard matches make it worse, but the main issue is it's one of the most popular FPS games, yet it feels like a ghost town at all times.
COD skins are the biggest wastes of money considering it's only gonna be relevant for a year, maybe 2 if your lucky
When you play 1v3 its because CaseOh counts as all 3
Funny.
I'm not surprised. The community is so fed up that people who are into the old school COD are have brought back COD commentaries and it's been nice to see!
It isn't even SBMM anymore. It's engagement optimized matchmaking. The system predetermines if you'll win or lose based on how you're doing. The whole aim is to breed uncertainty, which is what hooks you like with gambling.
Yall still playing cod? That’s rough. God of war and ghost of Tsushima have been my vibe lately
Single player > multiplayer
@ in the golden age I’d have disagreed with you. Fast forward 10 years and now it seems like it’s not even debatable now. Amen 🍻 single player > multiplayer
You missed a golden opportunity to promote THE FINALS, the greatest fps to exist in the current space 🔥
First COD I’ve played since Cold War and I just dropped it in light of the AI usage, obvious skill based damage, and other suspect shenanigans. It’s really a shame because I actually did like the gameplay for the most part and the campaign was decent.
my question is...who actually buys the stuff in the shop? it has to be the npc bots. no good players spend the money, they just buy the game and then gun.
Dude the zombies mode feels so soulless… when multiplayer and zombies/other modes aren’t doing well you exacerbate the issue that people don’t want to play. Sometimes people swap back and forth between the modes to pass time while they try to get a lobby in one or the other and when both are dead and or dying then you have a dying player base on a new game you just spent a lot of money making and promoting.
Content creators and influencers have the real power. Im still buying bundles and blackcell as a normie while getting out the mud in SBMM. Just being honest lol
I feel SUPER bad for the full time content creators that have COD dedicated channels. They are stuck playing this hot garbage because they’re literally relying on this game to put food on the table….
Oh heaven forbid they have to go out and get a job.😂
Well it’s their own fault for shilling for every new game and not trying to find a new niche or (like the other guy on this comment said) get a more sustainable job.
I'm beginning to notice that there's a familiar set of problems throughout every aspect of organizations like government, corporations and etc.
Finally, a creator who says what everyone else is avoiding! If you want real change, just don't buy the next game. Don't give them a single penny. The only language they understand is dollars. 💸 You've got my sub!
This is why I mainly play singleplayer games anymore. I can't keep up with the skill gap anymore due to not having 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to play the game.
I have buddies who are COD loyalists who will make every excuse in the book for Activision, and it pisses me off. But it is what it is.
11:11 THE FINALS 🫡
I’ve honestly had no problems with cheaters or matchmaking. I’m also usually ranking 1st on my team so it can’t be skill based matchmaking messing up my lobbys. One thing I don’t get is how nobody is talking about all these bugs that have been in the game for over a month now.
and Ubisoft let XDefiant die....
There will never be less players because the next batch is lined up right behind the ones that leave.
My biggest issue with cod is definitively sbmm or whatever you want to call anything that relates to matchmaking. I notice when I’m playing with friends how smooth the gameplay is and the movement & the shooting is fluid. But then when I’m solo, 75% of shootouts I get into feel like I never had a chance from the start. I mean it’s like a very small fraction of a second the window I have to react to an enemy. Aiming somehow gets harder, I ads at an enemy and it feels like a frame or two goes missing and I’m not hitting shots especially sniping 🙄 (1.65 kd player btw while camo grinding currently)
I’m the exact same bro. The sbmm is so strong trying to pull everyone down to a 1 KD. I don’t understand why we need it. “Oh but the new players” bruh there hardly are any😂. Most the people that play cod are recurring players every year who are already decent at the game and it’s not like there was sbmm during the golden age of cod back in bo1-2 and mw2. Why do we need it now???
Just letting anyone know that Steam has 50% off sale on the O.G. Modern Warfare games right now for the Winter Sale on PC.

One thing you forgot to mention is how much space this game increasingly takes up in storage with the constant updates. I don’t want to delete other games I play in order to play COd

Nothing is going to happen. They hit the jackpot with Microsoft buying them now they can literally keep doing this forever with no worries. This is what happens when you let massive corporations constantly run unchecked.
As a player who played Wolf3D, Medal of Honor, Counter-Strike and then COD almost 4 decades ago the only problem with this game is the server.
I didn't play any COD Online Multiplayer because I play COD because of their Campaigns only Warzone 2.0, before those years I was a PUBG player so automatically I fell in love with how 2.0 looked vibrant and could freely move like a parachuting slide, and then some are very fun, then I realized there's a problem within gunfights itself.
I mean, I was the one who fired first, locking their head and neck but with 2 to 4 bullets I died instantly, I have like 34 ms but it seems I was on 280+ ms when in a gunfight or someone was near me. I'm in Cambodia and for me, the dedicated server they are showing is not real. This game is exclusively for the US server, outside it it's very very unplayable if you want to be competitive, people didn't realize this,😊 and for me? I just realized, this is constantly my cycle since Warzone 2.0
If theres anything Destiny 2, CoD, and League of Legends have in common, it's a playerbase that insists they hate the game and are thinking of quitting, only to continue to play everyday.
Not me. I hated Ghosts and MW3 and have barely touched either. I skipped Black Ops 4 and Vanguard entirely. And I have played every game released since Call of Duty 2.

Just bring back warzone 1 and print new skins,fix bugs & every so often release a new map.
I guarantee you they will be making money left right and center .
Activision does not care in order to stop them. We must STOP purchasing ALL products GAMES, DLC previous GAMES. When they lose money, they pay attention.
COD's lack of quality largely used to be the developer & publisher's fault, but now I can unequivocally declare that the shills are to blame.
Yk i could deal with the hackers from time to time and the sbmm but what made me take a breakf from bo6 was the ai. The ai icons banners and VOICE ACTORS WHO HAVE BEEN HERE SINCE BO2. Its just annoying to see art squandered over cooperate greed. 3:36
