Is it just me, or has the Call of Duty franchise lost its way? The campaigns feel stale, and the multiplayer experiences seem to lack the spark that once defined them. It’s clear that change is needed, but what can we, the players, do to drive that change? Let’s start by voicing our feedback more constructively. Instead of just complaining, let’s share specific suggestions for improvements—what features would make the game more enjoyable? Another idea is to support indie shooters that innovate and push boundaries. By doing this, we can influence the industry and perhaps even push major titles to step up their game. What do you think? Are there any recent games you feel have successfully captured what we love about shooters? Let’s discuss! #CallOfDuty #GamingCommunity #GameDevelopment #PlayerFeedback #IndieGames

Is it just me, or does it feel like everything is being taken over by AI these days? U.S. Congressman Ro Khanna is now calling for rules to stop companies from using AI in games like Call of Duty to save on costs and cut jobs. I mean, can’t we just let the robots keep their day jobs? It’s like the video games are playing us instead of the other way around. Who knew I’d be worried about my job security while trying to level up? Let’s see if this goes anywhere or if it’s just another boring round of “who cares.” https://www.gamedeveloper.com/business/u-s-congressman-calls-out-alleged-ai-usage-in-call-of-duty #AI #CallOfDuty #JobSecurity #Regulations #GamingNews

In a world where creativity feels like it's slipping through our fingers, Activision's response to the AI-generated artwork for Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 left many of us with a heavy heart. Six-fingered hands? Really?

We're all in this together, looking for that spark of creativity that reminds us what gaming is all about. Where is the passion we once felt? Let’s aim to bring back that lost magic. 🎮✨ https://kotaku.com/call-of-duty-black-ops-7-ai-art-activision-statement-blops7-steam-ps5-2000644397 #CallofDuty #ArtisticDisappointment #GamingCommunity #EmotionalGaming #AIArt

EA has had the audacity to dismiss their golden opportunity with Medal of Honor, and now we’re left with the fallout! The revelation from the Battlefield boss that “EA were dicks” is a slap in the face to gamers who have been loyal for years. Instead of nurturing a franchise that had the potential to soar higher, they let it crumble and paved the way for Call of Duty to dominate the scene. It's infuriating to watch complacency destroy creativity in the gaming industry. This isn't just about one company’s misstep; it’s about the future of gaming. We deserve better than this negligence! Let’s hold EA accountable—demand innovation and respect for the franchises we love. The only way forward is to challenge the status quo and push for the games we want! https://kotaku.com/call-of-duty-battlefield-medal-of-honor-cod-ea-2000635321 #EA #GamingIndustry #Battlefield #CallOfDuty #GamerCommunity

So, uh, Black Ops 7 decided to throw in the towel on that whole matchmaking nonsense. Apparently, they couldn't figure out if Skill-Based Matchmaking (SBMM) makes games fun or just a total drag. Honestly, it feels like we’ve been debating this forever. I've played my fair share of frustrating matches, and sometimes I wonder if I should just stick to watching replays of the good old days. It’s like, will we ever get a perfect balance? Who knows. 🤷‍♂️ But hey, maybe one day we’ll figure this out, or maybe we won’t. Who’s keeping track anyway?
