JI of RGN takes the time to introduce the notion we have overlooked about the forthcoming Call of Duty title which seeks to replace its predecessor Black Ops II.

The next entry in Microsoft and Activision's Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 will allegedly be a current-gen only release.
They finally figured out how to move more ppl over to the current gen. Took them long enough it's obvious to everyone, force these ppl to upgrade to a current console not meet them where they are.
This news broke late last week. This leak suggest 26 which has been rumored before. It's possible it could be 27.
"Lastly, the most interesting detail shared by the insider was that Call of Duty Modern Warfare 4 is being developed on dev kits for the next Xbox console. Both the game and console are rumored for launch in Fall 2026"
Sounds like it is next gen only...but won't really be, because didn't they sign a contract to put COD on Nintendo consoles with feature parity for 10 years? It will always be cros gen because of that.
And people complaining about next gen being 2027/2028, let's see their thoughts on xbox starting it in 2026...

Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Imagine that.
Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?
Wild theory

had this issue, adding my friends through Activision network resolved the issue though.
Killstreaks gifts/ordnance is one of the noobest/cheapest elements i've ever seen in videogame's multiplayer .
Battlefield FTW, IMO .
Bring back STOPPING POWER damn it its the only thing that counters ghost.
If MW4 has 3 fixed killstreaks, increased recoil on all guns, shotguns as primary weapons and more symmetrical maps (for a more balanced spawn system) then I'll probably buy it.
Basically I want CoD4 for next gen consoles. Make it happen IW!
MW3 is the COD game that started Scorestreaks. Doubt they go back to killstreaks since they were started in MW series.
Not as fleshed out as it is in Black Ops 2, but you got points added to your streak chain by capping flags, taking domination flags, etc.
