New Call of Duty Tweet Sparks Outrage Amidst Ongoing Hacking Issues

Call of Duty Faces Backlash for Prioritizing Store Bundles Over Game Issues

Activision's recent promotion of a new Squid Game-themed store bundle has ignited a firestorm of criticism from the Call of Duty community. The tweet, boasting over 2 million views and countless angry replies, highlights a growing disconnect between Activision and its player base. The outrage stems from the company's perceived failure to address persistent and game-breaking issues plaguing both Warzone and Black Ops 6.

Since the October 25, 2024 release of Black Ops 6, the game, despite initial positive reception, has suffered a significant decline in player satisfaction. Prominent players, including Scump, have publicly voiced their concerns, stating the franchise is in its worst state yet. The core issues fueling this discontent include rampant cheating in Ranked Play, persistent server problems, and other significant gameplay flaws.

Activision's January 8th tweet promoting the new bundle, rather than acknowledging these problems, has been interpreted as tone-deaf by many. The community's response has been swift and furious. Influential figures like FaZe Swagg and CharlieIntel have publicly criticized Activision's priorities, emphasizing the severity of the in-game cheating problem and the broken state of Ranked Play. Players like Taeskii are even boycotting store purchases until the anti-cheat measures are improved.

The impact of these issues is evident in the game's dwindling player base. Steam statistics reveal a staggering 47% player drop-off for Black Ops 6 since its launch, a trend likely attributable to the ongoing technical problems and the prevalence of cheating. While data for other platforms is unavailable, the Steam numbers strongly suggest a broader problem. The situation underscores a serious challenge for Activision, as the community's frustration continues to escalate.
