With the launch of Call of Duty Season 4, Activision quietly put adverts inside loadouts for Black Ops 6 and Warzone, sparking a backlash in the process.

    So… They stopped playing right? Because there are a lot of similar games without ads, so why would people just put up with it. Right?

      Seriously who is still playing CoD in 2025? Same goes for EA Games. “Wow this game is shit I guess I’ll buy the next one and hope that won’t be shit!” must be what they’re thinking.

        There are new humans being created every minute. Those humans are younger than you and your friends who grew up with cod. Those humans may be experiencing the game for the first time. Your group of humans are not superior to younger humans because you were here first.

      Name something like warzone dmz and I’ll gladly jump.

      I literally just installed cod yesterday because I got bored of my other games.

      Civ 6 Apex Black desert RDR2

      Looking more for extraction PVP.

        I’d recommend Hunt Showdown if you’re looking for an extraction shooter. Based in the louisiana bayou in the late 1800s, so the gameplay is pretty unique. The shooting isn’t quite as satisfying as other similar games, but still quite fun.

          Damn CS has extraction now? I’ll check that out, haven’t played since source came out.

          Graphic were so shitty that they thought I was hacking while in water.

            I’m not really a CS gamer and haven’t even played CS2. The last time I played was to try out their new extraction/Battle Royale mode in CS:GO.

            I might be off base here and describing it wrong since I’m not very familiar with the genre so apologies in advance

      The title makes it sound like intrusive product ads when it’s just pictures of bundles for skins and other cosmetics that are currently available. Not nearly as bad as it could be ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

        That’s good context, you’re right the title made it sound like they were advertising KFC at startup. But, then again, an ads an ad.
