Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold War Issues Reports

Latest outage, problems and issue reports in social media:

• Grok (@grok) reported 27 minutes ago

  @Colin_WidhuPT @COD_Esports @CallofDuty Based on reports from January 2025 highlighting delays, no further complaints have surfaced, and winners like DiazBiffle are actively competing in WSOW 2025 without issue. This suggests the payments were resolved.

• 𝕯øקสmͥinͣeͫ (@IcyTrips) reported 2 hours ago

  @COD_Esports @CallofDuty yall need to fix your gold tiger camos. the contracts don’t spawn in early anymore. and there’s literally no contracts left within 7 minutes into the game. Like how am I suppose to do this for every gun when I can’t even grab a contract lmao

• Bloodline (@MW3_Bloodline) reported 2 hours ago

  @charlieINTEL They're desperate to keep the current and future COD titles in their crappy launcher that gets broken every seasonal update. Battlefield 6 needs to deliver, can't wait not to load up Call of Duty anymore for a bit for FPS fun.

• Topgozer (@topgozer09) reported 3 hours ago

  @CallofDuty fix your ******* game please ricochet currently broken or down or whatever because as soon as the new @Battlefield game releases I’m out of things aren’t fixed and I’ve been here since the original modern warfare

  @rivaLxfactor Does Battlefield have as bad a problem with aimbotters and wall hackers as COD does?

• island pirate (@pirateliife) reported 13 hours ago

  @ATVIAssist i like to complain about recent operator purchase for okai, —Riptide not displaying in warzone, when i searched around it was issue you have patched but still not working, i would rather have my COD points returned at this point.

• Airheads (@Xme4ux) reported 15 hours ago

  @Veyydr @NiRO__YT @Battlefield The problems with cod is they took the advice of cod partnered streamers qnd what happened They had to bring back verdansk to save it So take note battlefield Do not let these streamers ruin another fps game🙄

• jtweedy (@jtweedyaz) reported 19 hours ago

  @ProjectTie @Tyboy2387 @TGDefinition Stick to cod if you wanna slide, or just hate on battlefield and talk ****... you're the least of our problems bunny hopper!

• Nate Brown (@Nate_Brown83) reported 22 hours ago

  @EndersFPS Generally speaking, people don’t expect Battlefield to be a milsim. The problem is that when people say that they want the classic Battlefield gameplay, people who’ve e been hooked on CoD’s crack addict movement system get all bent out of shape.

• net (@ln3to) reported 23 hours ago

  @xAdachiT I cant wait for COD and Battlefield to get banned. Thats when they will start to take this issue seriously

• Project Red Tie (@ProjectTie) reported yesterday

  @TGDefinition 🫡exactly, battlefield isn’t COD but it shouldn’t be a milsim either. If sliding makes the game unplayable it’s a skill issue

• z0m613slaya (@z0m613slaya) reported yesterday

  @ATVIAssist I was just looking at the CoD titles that were on sale on the Playstation store and noticed Infinite Warfare is not purchasable. You can only wishlist it. Was that on purpose? Is it an Activision issue? Is it a Playstation issue? Whats the deal? @AskPlayStation

• TWENTY3-19 (@MUGIWARAGANG02) reported yesterday

  @CallofDuty @Activision and then what pissed me off with y’all is there was a workaround around it but y’all instead of fixing all the **** actually wrong with the game y’all fix the **** with voice chat like what ******** is y’all problem? Kid shouldn’t even be playing cod.

• J (@J765838) reported yesterday

  @Treyarch I pray that Battlefield 6 will absolutely crush COD and Warzone into oblivion.. Year after year you’ve been serving us absolute garbage, refuse to fix the cheating issue and ignore all feedback from your core community. If Battlefield 6 is half decent I’m gone for good.

• XxNelsonxX (@XxNelsonSHxX) reported yesterday

  @Nick_Marseil Exclusivity didn't allow any game to exist, if that so, CoD and Battlefield wouldn't be in Console to begin with, Exclusivity is the opposite of Competition, all you do is killing off your opponent than competing with better service lmao

• jau (@jdog12345668) reported yesterday

  @TheBFWire Cod has never been in trouble with a battlefield games. Most cod players would hate BF. Unless its pure infantry

• Alissa 🧕🏻🧜🏻‍♀️ (@GamerMermaid93) reported yesterday

  @somatyk @EA_DICE Yes but let's remind ourselves that this will lead to increased cheating on console. CoD & Rivals have awful cheating problems even w console only crossplay turned on. Cheaters just do it to mainly ruin our experience but also give themselves a false sense of satisfaction.

• Jegs-$B💐 (@Jegs110011) reported 2 days ago

  @carry1st pls I need this to be resolved same as the last cod point I got my phone was bad then but I have the money to get points so I did but it did not show up when I fix my phone back why @carry1st @CallofDuty

• Havoc_Actual 🇺🇸 (@Havoc_XXI) reported 2 days ago

  @TheBFWire CoD is already I. Trouble regardless of what battlefield does lol Can’t wait for BF6! Labs was sick AF

• Der Adi (@ramannhimself) reported 2 days ago

  @TheBFWire problem is, its more cod than battlefield. i really thought a watched a cod stream

• King Jams (@kingjamsx) reported 2 days ago

  @TheBFWire If they bring out a BR they just need the best Anti-Cheat ever and COD will be in big trouble. Battlefield doesn't stray away from it's core, no cartoon gimmicks. It's a war game.

• Jordan (@MyStuffSucks) reported 2 days ago

  @TheBFWire I wish this as much as the next guy but I really don’t think cods in any trouble. Battlefield is still battlefield and cod players want cod style gameplay. I hope I’m wrong and cod gets humbled but let’s be real.

• John Titor, Timewalker. (@JohnTitorVT) reported 2 days ago

  @Sir_Scrub97 Yes, though I'd say even with all the problems I have more fun on d2 than i do on current CoD or Battlefield. The cheater issue is reaching a real boiling point, as it turns out potentially over half of the last Contest Mode clears are cheated runs.

• ReturnOfThuggary (@GhostofMahvel) reported 2 days ago

  @iSelfProclaimed @JoovYT The problem is that it works for CoD but it doesn't really make sense for Battlefield, so BF blatantly copying CoD and using it in 2042 makes them look desperate, which they probably are, but still.

• DEVS_R_LAZY (@AGamersTruth) reported 2 days ago

  @Vile35tv @Battlefield You didn’t hold the fookan line when you preordered cod every year what’s the problem

• 𝚂𝚑𝚘𝚘𝚝𝙰𝚄𝚃 (@Vzor83) reported 2 days ago

  @YourAkhiNeo That's exactly the problem I have with it. BF 3 & 4 were where Battlefield lost its identity. All EA wanted was their own CoD, specifically Modern Warfare. Looks like they're doing it again. I hope, I'm wrong.

• Andreas Siirala (@AndreasSiirala) reported 2 days ago

  @followdusT @CounterStrike I have the same cpu with a 3070 on my second pc, same problems in cs, other games works just fine like cod etc. Actually started to use gsync and vsync capping fps at 240 to make it feel better.

• leofricCZ (@LeofricFN) reported 2 days ago

  @ZooL_Smith I mean can you actually provide any examples. COD added tac sprint which is **** tbf but has many downsides and isn't just infinite sprint. CS, VAL,R6 are all tactical shooters and do not have this problem in the slightest OW/marvel rivals don't even have a sprint or run

• Palanxw2i (@Palanxsparta99) reported 2 days ago

  @Zsolt99103 @BattlefieldInte Riot shields may be an issue in cod but in battlefield that you makes a sitting duck for explosive spam (metro/locker) Not to mention it's useless in large maps because vehicles are a thing and most people go engineer and run around with rocket launchers.
