New video out now! Can Modern Zombies have depth? Or is it doomed to be boring? Check out some of my ideas on how to add more depth to both the already existing map unique experiences, and the streamlined modern systems! All feedback appreciated!

This is a post about SBMM. But it's really just an anecdote about development, and I wonder if other devs out there have had the same experience.
When making a competitive MP game like CoD or XDefiant, we try to playtest the game every day. Now I don't know about other devs, but I can say that some of the most fun I've had playing an MP game were those office playtests. And guess what, because the pool of people playing is often just enough for 1-2 games, there is no SBMM. And we had some Pro to nearly Pro players vs some players who were not that great. When I started at Infinity Ward, I was horrible at controller, as I had always been MnK. But I played every day, and it was an absolute blast. And I got better. Never got to the top, but I got decent. And I will always look back on those playtests as some of the most fun I've had playing MP.
Now, as I said, this is just an anecdote, but I thought it might be a good one for devs out there to think about. Were your playtests just absolutely a blast because you loved the game you were making? And if so, how did the skill imbalance feel? Again, not trying to prove anything; I'm just sharing my experience. That even with a lobby of very mixed skill, the game was so much fun to play.
Please fix CoD

XBOX Playback starts rolling out now. It's a look at what you played, who you played with, and what you accomplished on XBOX over the last 25 years.

Not even dissing Mark but this is nothing new than what people have been saying. If you decide to argue against the former EP of CoD, you’re genuinely just a shill for the current games. He’s literally telling you what made old CoD fun and successful. We need diversity.
My 2 cents: SBMM means you keep playing the same game against the same people (ie people who play the same way and the skill as you even if they are different players) so the games lack diversity especially when the constant challenge keeps players playing the meta instead of diversifying their load outs. You also never feel your self get better because the games are always the same difficulty. As you get better so does everyone in your lobbies. There is more to it of course. Ranked is a great place for SBMM but in pubs I'd rather play against a diversified lobby. Generally there will be some people better than you and some worse. And for me that is what made older CoDs more fun because SBMM was minimal.

And the lobbies I’m getting aren’t even persisting. Did they change that at the very end ? 😭😭 I’ve been playing in only mercenary moshpit
I genuinely think SBMM is so enforced not just to protect little Timmy, but to also force people onto the next game since finding lobbies is so hard. I’m still on Bo7 and these Open MM search times are atrocious… WITH OPEN MM.

@CallofDuty @Activision @Treyarch I WANT to play the game I paid over $100 for and I literally CANT. @asha_shar something has to be done about leaving the previous games unplayable. This is absurd.

What will our hashtag be for the Gunn cut? #unjamthegunn
MAN OF TOMORROW reshoots are coming, and Gunn likely won't have final cut.
Sources tell @NexusPointNews Blue Beetle and Supergirl may be cut while Corenswet looks safe. Arjona's Wonder Woman is in limbo, and one source says Skydance wants to keep Pattinson.

Hey let’s talk about SBMM! THOUSANDS of people have been vocal on disliking it and y’all are banning THOUSANDS of people botting, 2boxing, lobby surfing, etc. when does the data suggest y'all should do something about it? In what way was this current mm “inspired” by bo1 and 2??
In tonight’s weekly update, we’re breaking down Hitscan and Ballistic improvements and sharing the latest on Ranked Play, plus Possum facts, X01, and more.

Been playing the free trial for DMZ and it’s decent. My first problem is the Minimap taking away from the immersion lowkey. The intro to DMZ makes it kind of misleading and I liked the minimum hud then. The second issue is just my problem with extractions and it’s the timer.
Another update is live in #MW4!🛠️
Camo challenge fixes, X01 UAV tuning, DMZ adjustments, and more.

Revisionist history. The Avengers weren’t as popular until the MCU made them popular, and the only reason the MCU started with them is because they had the rights to them. Also, Gunn was world building the DCU so that characters didn’t just appear out of nowhere like the MCU did
Them not introducing Batman right away is why James Gunn is no longer in charge of DC studios. Nobody gives a rats ass about Clayface or Supergirl or Gorilla Grodd when the most marketable hero is Batman.
Captain America and Ironman are two of the most popular marvel characters. Guess who they established first? DC is coming off a horrible DCEU and your response is Clayface and Suprrgirl. No Batman. No Flash. No Wonder Woman.
James and Peter should’ve been fired along time ago

People keep complaining about not having a Batman yet, but he’s been mentioned Multiple times. Which again just adds that world building so that when we do see him, we then get that payoff of him reacting to certain things that’s happened in the world. It’s called storytelling.

It’s not the exact same mistake though. Superman 2025 already established side characters that would’ve undoubtedly been allies. Then you have Supergirl, Lanterns, MOT is reported going to have WonderWoman, then Batman and Superman 3 also would’ve built more characters.
Wait so was the plan to have two Superman movies, a Batman movie, then just jump right to Justice League lol? Because thats like the EXACT same mistake Snyder made.

I would even imagine that the first Justice League movie had some major character deaths of some “stand in” characters” to then build into our actual Justice League going forward (Flash, Aquaman, etc).
