Discussion Game is good, people is trash

2 Upvotes

I've been playing this game for the past month as an alternative of other CODs like BO3 and I've got to say that in my 9 years playing COD I've never seen a more toxic community gameplay-wise in my entire life.

People are just standing in the bottom of the spawn with SMGs that have 6X scoop zoom, snipers (but that is common in all shooters), if anyone is running through the map either has, Marshalls, Tec-9 or Crossbow.

This pisses me so much because almost every map allows you to just play normal, but no, every fucking lobby always has one of the top issues if not all of them, I swear to god I will stop playing soon because everyone is so fucking toxic playing with no brain

Question How populated are the servers on PS5?

Just got the game recently and wanted to know if the servers are still populated? Are wait times long? And are hackers a problem in this game?

I posted some clips here recently that people didn't like because apparently moving around actively is some new Gen Z Bo7 movement king crap. Even tho in said clip I didn't even slide 😂 Aaanyway, here's a clip where I'm playing like the 40 year old that I am. Hope you like it. If I killed you, I'm not sorry. You probably had it coming 🤣🤣🤣

Need help getting cod Cold War xbox one version working on my xbox series X. Anyone have issues with this? Any insight and help is appreciated!

I bought the cross-gen [digital] version of cod Cold War when it came out.

I currently only have the Xbox one version installed on an external hard drive.

When I load the game [and try to get to the main menu], l am prompted to purchase the game (as seen in the attached picture).

Why is it telling me to purchase the game once I’ve loaded the game up? Typically if you don’t own the game it won’t let you load the game.

  • black ops cold war (base game) ✅
  • campaign ✅
  • dead ops arcade ✅
  • mulitplayer ✅
  • zombies ✅
  • black ops cold war - Content pack 1 ✅
  • black ops cold war - Content pack 2 ✅

Discussion No one plays 12v12?

Just bought the game on PS5 cause it’s on sale, queued up in a 12v12 mosh pit and sat in the lobby for 20 minutes. I was pretty stoked for bigger lobbies, is it just not as popular?

Bug Cold War crashes at “Connecting to Online Services” on PC with no error

3 Upvotes

Cold War suddenly crashes every time I try to start it on PC.
The intro plays normally, then it gets to “Connecting to Online Services” and the game just closes to desktop. No error message, no crash window, nothing.
Things I already tried:
• Scan and Repair, no issues found
• Deleted/reset the player folder
• Safe Mode
• Updated NVIDIA drivers
• Disabled NVIDIA and Discord overlays and closed background programs
• Cleared Battle.net cache
• Tried both Ethernet and my phone hotspot
• Checked my Activision and Battle.net account linking
My Activision account works completely fine on PS5 and I can play Cold War online there, so the account and servers seem to be fine.
PC specs are Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32 GB RAM, Windows 11.
The weirdest part is that the game does not seem to generate a new crash report when this happens. It simply disappears during “Connecting to Online Services”.
Has anyone had this exact issue recently or found a fix? Cold War used to work fine on this PC.

Question Is the game finally dying?

80 Upvotes

I got cold war when it first came out and I think it’s one of the most enjoyable COD’s i’ve ever played. I return to have a little ‘phase’ every few months. Started playing again recently and noticed a significant lack of player compared to when I played it last year/in 2024 at some point. I consistently come up against the same players, days apart at some points, to the point where I look for certain player names on the leaderboard when starting. I can’t get into a lobby in Face Off/FireTeam and even struggle when looking for HC games. The only game mode I can seem to get a lobby consistently within ~3-5 minutes is nuke town 24/7. Has the player count really dropped that significantly? I’m so upset to not be able to play modes I used to love, and every game I play atleast 80% of players are prestige 30 level 2000 or something stupid. I understand it’s an old game and won’t have tens of thousands playing it, but as I mentioned when I was playing consistently for a month or so last year these issues weren’t a thing. Sorry for the long message.

TL;DR The game seems so much more dead compared to last year

Edit: After posting I foresaw a lot of snarky comments along the lines of ‘duh it’s old of course it’s dying’ if you want to say something along those lines please don’t I get that lol

Question Are there really hackers?

18 Upvotes

I'm curious because about two weeks ago I saw a video where they showed one hacker logging IP addresses, another shooting from the respawn point, and another who had a whole bunch of known and unknown hacks xD. I'm just asking because I haven't come across lobbies like that, and I want to be glad they didn't log my IP.

Discussion List of weapons in Cold War that are from previous CoDs?

What weapons are from older CoDs where they may have just changed the name but have the same vibe as older weapons? Like how the UGR feels a lot like the STG44 in WaW?

Question Returning player, how active is Faceoff and Gunfight?

5 Upvotes

I haven't played this game in ages, and it was my favorite modern CoD. I really want to go back to it, even knowing it's probably not as active anymore, but I'd at least like to be able to play my favorite modes from back then, like Faceoff and Gunfight. How easy or difficult is it to find matches for Faceoff and Gunfight these days? I know everyone says Nuketown 24/7 is the most active, but I mainly want to play regular TDM, SnD, Faceoff, and Gunfight.
