Let’s not get carried away here being haters. A couple cool skins to match up against new players is a steal of a deal. Don’t mind if I do.

Players that drop nukes left and right without reverse boosting are the top 1%. There's an element of luck involved also. Chances are that you wouldn't face them in a game session without sbmm, so they would not "make life miserable for casual players".

In those old cod games with zero sbmm, I played those oldies a lot. Even in random lobbies the number of times someone on my team or other team dropped a nuke I could probably count on my fingers. I used to be really good at cod racking up campy kills and the number of times I got 25 straight kills was ultra rare.
To get a nuke drop requiring a giant kill streak and a guy equipping the kill streak too is such a low probability.

This helps somewhat I think, you can give it try
my config file was in
Documents/call of duty/players/options.4.cod23.cst

I’ve noticed that most of the “pros” are using the MCW

MCW is a laser beam when kitted right
No shame in admitting I have straight up copied these for the MCW and SVA 545, I know it’s a sub but also the AMR9, these builds have really worked for me.

Just relative to what they did with Warzone "2" last year.. this year's changes are almost as big as what they did with Warzone 2, but not much noise about it at all.. maybe not all that confident after the fiasco last time around

Uff, combat scout is back
Those commando gloves solve something that everyone was complaining about last year, that and plating while running, which they added eventually

Really sucks. This is pretty much the only mode me and a couple friends played for most of this year. Oh well, time to move on I guess.

A few more things that might have gone overlooked in todays announcement. We are getting a few Holiday themed modes and maps. Besides the 3 new 6v6 maps we are getting these seasonal variations:
Vortex (New Mode):
In this free-for-all mode, one player spawns in with the infamous Zombies Wonder Weapon, the one-shot Ray Gun. Whoever eliminates the Operator with the Ray Gun becomes the new owner of this powerful and otherworldly pistol. Vortex takes place on three remixed Multiplayer maps: Satan’s Quarry, Sporeyard, and Tetanus.
CODMAS: Santa’s Slayground:
Season's Eatings! Santa Gnaws is here to spread horror and fear. Complete Event Challenges to earn rewards and visit classic, holiday-themed maps, including Shipmas and Hangover! Just try not to get bitten. Expect more information on this Event and additional Limited Time Modes closer to Mid-Season.
There are some rumors from the dataminers that 'snowball fight' will be making a return as well.
And to close things up, here is the trailer for Season 1 that was released today for those who haven't seen it.

Same, this mode had so much potential and I really hope they bring it back someday even if they call it something else and rework it.
As for the current iteration, my best guess is they will keep the servers on for another year and sunset it completely when Treyarch's 2024 game comes out.
EDIT: Infinity Ward Just posted a Thank You to the DMZ Community:

Ah ok. Yeah entirely possible.
How to fuck up your new cash cow 101. I hope they learned their lesson.
Looking forward to Rebirth when it arrives. I could (and did) play that map all day

That map is very good indeed.. hopefully they bring it back. Have they said anything about it?
As far as lessons learned, I doubt it, but at least this time they listened to the "community" more.. at least at first glance, we will see how it plays.
According to this, it will be very fast, so once again.. casual players will likely suffer

Yeah its coming back alright, ill be holding down the prison roof all winter( or summer hopefully not thT long)
Fortunes keep is also making a return .
Whilst i dont care for regular warzone resurgence is definitely my jam. Fast paced, low sbmm, no need to worry about shitty spawns. Quick games, great pacing.
If they keep all 4 maps in rotation that would be insane.

Stuff for the upcoming season, looks like there's going to be a The Boys part 2, together with the rest of the DUNE event.
Also they disabled the Gaia skin until it can be made (even) more visible:

Thought I'd play a quick match for the first time in a few days, and naturally it needs an update before I can start it...
Check my download queue (Xbox) and it's chugging down 173 GB!!! That's not an update, that's the entire game! They care as much about bandwidth as they do about SSD space.

I'd removed a few bits like the campaign and some of MW2 to save space, so I wonder if it's grabbing all those again.
I'd have thought it would be cheaper for them to keep the file size as small as possible, especially if they managed it on PC. Maybe somebody flipped the wrong switch on the Xbox version.

This is almost impossible to be honest, it’s always going to be an issues if they have to cater to both sides
There always seems to be a difference between the different platforms, so maybe different systems have different requirements.. it sucks, that’s a lot of data, and you are right, it would be more efficient to not have to do that from their end.

Quit to desktop? It's an Xbox.Well it downloaded in less than 30 mins but now I've got this. WTF?!?
Too late to sort it out tonight, I'll have to look at it tomorrow. This sounds like I'll be completely reset if I click yes.

yeah my xbox shit the bed and was just stuck on "updating" for a long time, couldn't even launch any other games; then it popped up as a 38gb update, and then it said lol nope how about this 214gb update, which is essentially downloading everything all over again.
Sounds like something in the update can make the xbox stall out (space allocation?), and then it cancels the update, which is the same as uninstalling.

Devs have responded. It doesn't reset your ranks when you reset. It does however reset any loadouts, which is annoying.Well it downloaded in less than 30 mins but now I've got this. WTF?!?

Some pretty "good" players out there, highest killstreak of over 2k?

I often wonder why the devs of this and many other games don't just go through the leaderboards and erase/ban the ones that are blatantly cheating. It has been this way ever since we've had online leaderboards, and it's so easy to find.
Even Flight Simulator has leaderboards full of cheats (which it insists on showing you before you can view your own best score).

Have an intern review a randomly-selected game from one of those cheaters. Should take all of 5 minutes to confirm in the case the devs don't automate the task somehow.

That ain't exactly news. COD has been the bestselling game on both Xbox and PS for years now.
