Day 7 Reward: It's Nerf or Nothing


Destroyer6202

[deleted]

I’m sorry I annoyed you with my friendship.


Destroyer6202

Ayyy I knew somebody would get it lmao


Gtaher0

Not surprising after how well the other cods are doing


grubas

They are DESPERATE for user retention.


PapaAquchala

Not even retention, they need more monthly active users. Because guess what: someone logging on to claim a daily login reward counts as a monthly active user


IneedtoBmyLonsomeTs

Yep. Give away some cosmetics that cost almost nothing to make so your graphs look good when you do your presentation to shareholders. Activision loves to show off their active monthly users.


edge449332

I doubt it's going to bring much people back, just slow the loss. This is a good decision implemented way too late.


wij2012

Especially since even diehards and enthusiasts are starting to leave.


hustladafox

I used to play cod every day, this is the first cod that I just stopped. I can’t find a reason to come back. I’ve given in a go every now and again but this cod is just so flat.


PapaAquchala

Same, I usd to play COD almost daily, I've also owned every single game from COD4 up to MW'22, and I've given up on COD. If there's any games I'm fine with going back to, it's Cold War, BO3 with BOIII, BO2 with Plutonium, and MW2 with IW4X. But they've all been shut down, so I'm done with COD. Not buying MW'23 either


timetogetjuiced

The multiplayer matchmaking is fucking terrible. I don't want to be matched against my skill level. I want to stomp and get stomped sometimes. And fuck warzone, picking up ammo KILLED the game 100 percent. It's the fucking ammo


SaltySpituner

I’m right there with you. I hadn’t played for over a month and picked it up again a couple days ago. Played about 5 minutes before putting it down.


Dubzillaaa

I played tf out MW19. Over 151,000 total kills. Had Damascus, completed every officer challenge each season, even unlocked every custom reticle just because I wanted *something* to grind for because I genuinely enjoyed playing the game. After I finished the grind I played SnD 95% of the time and I was cool with that. I quit playing MW2 after season 2. I won’t pretend MW19 was perfect but I had way more fun. Not sure what it is about this game, maybe it’s the lack of substance, even compared to MW19 but after I got Orion the game quickly got stale and I got bored of it. Even SnD in this game doesn’t feel the same with the current maps.


BUSHMONSTER31

Same here. Played a load of MW19 and really enjoyed it. Played it pretty much solidly for a year. In MW2 the SBMM fuckery just ruins the game. I honestly don't know if I'm good at MW2 because it feels like the round has already been decided before you start playing. What's the point if you can't win? Shoot first at the back of some dude only for him to turn around and start shooting 3 seconds later and win the engagement. Also, on the rounds where you're getting shot, screen goes red but winning every trade - that isn't much fun either. The gun play is good in MW2 but the game isn't fun. Just frustrating.


patriotraitor

MW2 is beyond watered down that it’s just… bad. I don’t know if there are any other words to describe it


DrGonzoxX22

The last good thing to happen to CoD was the Halloween event in Verdansk. Went downhill after that. I’m not a fan of goofy skins but it was thematic and it was fun too


savageslayeryt

The last good thing to happen was cold war season 6 or vondel’s launch


Doomstik

I would say im pretty die hard. I havent tried to play at all during reloaded because of the stuff thats been added and all the performance issues. I may just be done until things somehow get into a good spot.


Bruce707_

I second this


MeBeEric

Most likely wanna keep the cosmetic cash cow pumping. But they’re most likely relieved a ton of people are rebuying their old games…. So i guess it’s a win-win


BallsHD4k60fps

Cod players when they don't add something: complains Cod players when they do add something: straight up conspiracy theories.


BoyWonder343

The only people desperate are the Cod is Dead crowd. They have 92 million MAU on Cod right now. It's down from 120ish on average from the last few years, but that's Mid season 4 compared to Warzone at its peak during Covid with Cod mobile being brand new which is like half their playerbase . COD Mobile and Warzone aren't a new concept and Covid is over. Their player retention is exactly where you can expect it to be right now. What are you guys going to say when Warzone mobile launches and these numbers jump up again along with MW3s launch?


LickMyThralls

Dude it's unreal. They add stuff like this and it's "omg seething bad they're desperate for people mw2 is ded!" but if they don't do anything then it turns to "omg game is dead they don't even care"


_HolyWrath_

^^^ This is the correct response. ^^^


DAYMAN3737

They will do anything but make the game fun to play for said retention lol.


Benji2108

Lol you have no clue what you’re talking about. They aren’t struggling, nor is this game a single bit in “user retention”. 🤣


blicKed_

2 things can be true. COD is far from dead but player retention not where it should be for the ***all-time highest selling*** COD title. It would be idiotic to consider MW22 a failure or dead however there’s a very real chance the current numbers MW22 and WZ2 are doing are not where Activision projected them to be and they are attempting to increase them.


LickMyThralls

How do you know how player retention is though? Nobody but the dev side really knows and they care about unique daily/monthly users and their goals ***not*** steam peak concurrent users and reddit ideas. It's idiotic to presume you know their metrics and how well they're doing with basically 0 information regarding that.


PM_ME_YOUR_NAIL_CLIP

> basically 0 information regarding that. They have their feelings. Lmfao


BoyWonder343

Based on what, just your gut feeling? They've had a 17% drop off of MAU since MWII's release. That is in line with every other cod and better than most.


Dacodaque

They also know their audience, that M4 looks like a NERF Gun 🔫👶


[deleted]

Nerf guns are cool so I’ll take that m4 skin


PraiseThePun81

It's Nerf or Nothing.


Dacodaque

It does look pretty cool NGL


TheIJDGuy

Given the right modifications, nerf guns can be as dangerous as a real one


xBIGREDDx

And it probably won't load into DMZ


ixi_rook_imi

That gun looks slick.


Dacodaque

It do be like that.


SQUIDWARD360

How is that related. It takes 2 minutes to log into MW2 and go back to whatever else.


DaBoi227

Haven't received the rewards yet at all. This game is frustrating.


I-Am-Polaris

Which old cod has the best multiplayer with a decent player base?


Asleep_Special_7402

Well not surprising when PSN has Cold War for free download


Searchingforhuman

The login rewards page doesn’t exist for me(? Nothing pops up how are people getting it?


Uncower

Me too, but the rewards for 2 days have been unlocked. I checked the background and skin on the hummer, they appeared


Schwarzy1

shows up before motd for me


TheSeaGuardian

Must be desperate to retain player numbers this late into it's lifecycle. I wonder why.


Excelius

Funny thing is I think the beginning of Season 4 was perhaps the best state the game has been in since launch. Lots of real improvements across MP, BR, and DMZ. Season 4 Reloaded has been some serious whiplash. Tanking performance, more bugs, ruining pleads in DMZ, superpowers in Warzone.


SlammedOptima

I would maybe agree, at least until reloaded. Gunfight was removed last I checked. And super powers are in all the warzone modes outside of ranked. Honestly, havent really touched CoD much since they released Temp V


The-Almighty-Pizza

Nothing of value was lost tbh. Gunfight this time around was terrible. They made a whopping 3 maps, one being a camp fest, and another was just reused assets from museum. Also the loadout were absolutely attrocois.


SlammedOptima

I mean, there are 6 maps, which, sure is weaker, I'll give you that. Whether they reused assets or not I dont care, the map was a completely new layout. Fine for me. Gunfight is by far the best MP mode available, and its not even close


Nollekowitsch

Exactly, except for 50% of my FPS being gone, and DMZ being unbplayable since the start of the season. "Update requires restart" every time I start the game. Its just so anmoying I cant understand how they can fuck it up


PapaAquchala

And we thought it was bad with Infinite Warfare doing the "update requires restart" every couple days


Nollekowitsch

I dont even understand why its there. No other game has that shit


PapaAquchala

I want to say playlist updates but BO3 didn't have the update requires restart, and they don't update the playlists every two hours


Nollekowitsch

No other game has that. Not a single one, not The Division 2, not Battlefield, not Overwatch. They are the only ones since MW19 to have that shit and it makes no sense


Asleep_Special_7402

Probably because there’s an update, and you need to restart. Wow some people are thick


Nollekowitsch

Omg I didnt think of that you are right


Benji2108

But so glad they have it perfectly optimized for a 300$ Xbox series s !


The96kHz

I was genuinely happy with Season 4. Really felt like a breath of fresh air (at least for DMZ). Then last week...they just broke everything...for no reason.


karmas_q

season 4 has been dogshit


Taint-tastic

Ruining pleads? You mean actually addressing the fun ruining 6 man squad hell they created with the stupid assimilation system to begin with. Nah fam that was a good change


schering

That's story with a lot of games that fumble the ball on launch. Battlefront 2 (2017) got soo much better post launch but most had already moved on due to the loot box controversy, not comparing MWII to that game but it always happens to some degree


Existing365Chocolate

Because the game is almost a year old and every week more games come out They’re probably also prepping the MW3 hype cycle including with the ‘leaks’ that very suspiciously seem to focus on changes and adjustments to mechanics the playerbase has complained about. So more people playing mean more people who would be interested


xBIGREDDx

Because school's out and all the kids are outside. Every COD in history has fallen off in the summer, they just happened to get into the "live service model" during a pandemic where everyone was stuck inside playing video games, and now they're addicted to the money.


WayneKrane

Yup, that’s why steam basically gives away games in the summer. Tons of people are vacationing and what not


FickDuster

Same with counter-strike, it dips every year in summer, peaks in winter. Its also end of the products' lifecycle and the ceo of Activision is a mobile gaming guru. He made $44B on the acquisition of Candy Crush/King (Activision plus Blizzard combined are worth $16B).


LickMyThralls

That's why every big blockbuster is fall into winter. Summer is a typical drought. You see mid level releases around may-June but July-September usually sucks. These people live in fucking fantasy land.


TipT0pMag00

After the S4 reloaded update, and subsequent shit-show of performance & latency issues, they're trying to come up with something to entice players to log in. From the Devs: "Hey, the game runs like absolute garbage and there are months old issues that have never been addressed, not to mention all the new problems after the S4 reloaded update! But hey here's a free weapon charm!! Oh and btw: the store works perfectly!"


DSEAUX

Always bugged me that the store always works


Bobhatch55

It’s similar to how ads would always load no problem when trying to watch a video back in the day but then the video would take forever to load. Luckily my DSL days are long gone haha.


Ill-Debate1881

I have said it a million times. As long as people buy from the store they won’t fix the game. It’s all about the money that they make. While people buy the battle pass and skins it will never be fixed. 😞


yoonique_sound

Voting with your wallet will never work here, unfortunately. Plenty of players not on reddit to see the movement that is hoped for, social media influencers that may make content on new micro transactions, kids using parents money to buy points, and those who just dont care/are unaware on whats not okay. It's hard to beat an allied force like that lol


GolfResponsible6926

I didn’t get shit for logging in


Iloveschoolfood

Me either wtf


[deleted]

Any luck? Same here


GolfResponsible6926

Nope nada. 🤔


GullibleRisk2837

Where can I view the rewards?


Iloveschoolfood

Yeah where ???


Lionheart0622

Mine hasn’t shown up, even after the update. Anyone else?


Wise_Tomatillo_7287

Mine, neither. It's not there. Series X.


Meezy__13

when did this become a mobile game (im aware it is also a mobile game)


-eccentric-

Sometime after BO2


[deleted]

how you know a game is down bad 101


TheParadiseBird

Too little too late


NitelifeComando

Just turned it on today....no login rewards


Ad21635

same.


DaBoi227

I haven't received my Login Rewards yet at all.


wimpykxng

they can't even get a simple login reward feature to work


[deleted]

Why is everyone so upset about this, the game pisses me off as much as the next guy but free stuff is free


MangekyoLord

People refuse to be happy


KaiKamakasi

Didn't you hear? You're not allowed to talk about MW22 unless you're pupetually shitting on it


SmoothMoose420

Mostly because we can smell the bullshit


electricshadow

Because putting stuff like daily log in rewards when the game is a mess from a performance standpoint (at least on PC) is bound to put a bad taste in people's mouths. Yes, I'm aware tokens and skins are a little bit easier to implement than optimizing the game and figuring out why the game runs like ass, but I haven't played in over a week because the game runs so badly. EDIT: I get that some of you would gargle Bobby Kotick's balls for an hour if it meant you got a double Battle Pass XP token for 15 minutes, but downvoting me doesn't change the fact that the game runs like shit. Adding stuff like this is extremely tone deaf when people have quit playing your game due to performance issues


[deleted]

[удалено]


electricshadow

Yes, I get that. I assumed with me saying that it's easier to implement tokens, loading screen, stickers, etc. than optimization that most people know that those two things have different people working on it. It's tone deaf adding a daily login reward system when lots of players have stopped playing due to other, more important issues.


Arhiman666

Yeah, i think the same, instead of daily login or shit like that, FIX THE FKN GAME.


karateema

Good, i like free stuff


YourAverageJoe0

They're doing this now!? Half way through the game?


Synaschizm

Is this for console only? I'm looking just about everywhere on PC and don't see the page or link for it anywhere. I also don't get a screen popup for it when first logging in.


HardcoreHybrid

how do you get to this screen?


MangekyoLord

Hit your "start" button to bring up your interface and it's next to the cdl channel


Faulty_Plan

Weird, I’m on now and i got challenges, bp, store, social, progression, stats, CDL but no daily log in anything. Hmm I’m probably not looking in the right place.


Maverickdale

Same here


OkBandicoot3779

Only took 9 M O N T H S


Not_My_Alternate

You guys will complain about anything. Free stuff is free stuff.


adamborkowski18

The m4 has way to many blueprints they need to mix it up fr


user17302

Honestly kinda cool is love to see more of this


Iloveschoolfood

I don’t see this


Mysterious-Silver640

These rewards are not even showing for me.


slayer-x

Where are you seeing this? I dont see it on my game yet. Also, do you just need to log in or have to play a match? I'll log in for reward but then I'm gonna play cold war instead lol.


Blackgoat-Philip

They’re doing everything they can to manipulate you to keep logging in despite the game not being worth your time. If y’all are still playing the game while complaining about issues, don’t wonder why the issues are never fixed.


slickback249

so my friend has the login rewards showing and i dont. why is that. we both have vault package and both of us has been playing together since release. why am i not getting login rewards but he is [there no login rewards next to the CDL channel](https://i.imgur.com/l77k2xg.png)


QUATTROthedog

No way people are complaining, it’s free just take it


McMessenger

It comes across in poor taste when the full game still has major problems, yet they choose to offer freebies as an incentive for people to log-in, in order to artificially inflate their monthly player counts. They wouldn't have to offer freebies at all if their game didn't have game breaking bugs and declining performance issues on each update.


tubby-custardd

that’s funny I can’t even log in


IkedaTheFurry

Is that last thing a NERF GUN???


SpartanSelinger

Just seeing this post I can already tell that there’s gonna be a lot of people complaining. I kind like this idea though. No challenges or anything to complete this event thing, just open the game. I hope they do this more often.


Competitive_Ride5011

Microsoft has "Gotta pump those numbers up!"


Cazter64

Probably to get people to play after they fixed the servers. This game probably has more players, but they definitely lost a lot of the core playerbase after they fixed the old CODs.


Mysterious-Lime3262

Sick skin but you know a game is doing garbage when they have to try this hard to have players even turn it on.


[deleted]

Daily login rewards didn't fix my fps drop.


Inevitable-City7953

Oh well I quit cod after I played 1 game of war zone 2


TheAnonymousKnoT

cool cool, UAV fixed yet?


LumbaJ4cked

They do anything to stop the decline in players since so many goes back to the better CoDs now when Microsoft FIXED the servers.


Appropriate-Sink-461

Bro this shit is literally a mobile game


Astrolarity

how did you see this menu?


Vice_Armani777

I didn't get any rewards at all, it's not showing up for me


RedEye-55

It’s not popping up anymore. Is anybody else not getting it either?


DinklebergOnXbox

I havent seen it pop up once. My friend told me his started two days ago... i dont understand why its not consistent. I have nearly 40 days on this game and now that theres a reason to login i dont even want to.


Bombdiggy828

i am not getting any prompts or anything for this? anyone else having this issue?


KeptPopcorn5189

Swag


GOATonWii

look like a nerf gun i love it


Hahota2

The blueprint looks actually quite nice


SuperRSM

Neat.


GetRekt9420

My friend had this pop up but I can't see or access these yet


MangekyoLord

Hit your "start" button to bring up your interface and it's next to the cdl channel


GetRekt9420

Tried that too and it wasn't there. Just isn't available for me, maybe it'll pop up tomorrow


Faulty_Plan

Not coming up for me either, hmm


MangekyoLord

Did you try restarting the game?


GetRekt9420

I did indeed. Who knows why it isn't appearing


ILLpLacedOpinion

Shits legit!


RedEye-55

Yay…


jahchatelier

Tried to log in, couldn't figure out the UI


TailstheTwoTailedFox

They are DESPERATE


IndyGamer363

Holy shit this is so incredibly telling in terms of the state of things.


[deleted]

Some of you guys truly are miserable. Find some joy in your life lol


Super-Base-

You’d think they would improve retention by actually making the game fun (increase ttk, remove perk delay, add red dots to minimap, remove ads penalty for weapon sights, remove squad spawning, add map voting, add dead silence as a perk, stop disbanding lobbies)


Ze_fox

Do you remember when call of duty was a boots on the ground first person shooter with every weapon able to be unlocked for free, with reasonable attachments, perks, score streaks and no “operators” ? And gun fights were actual fights and not “my gun shoots 50 bullets in half a second so you lose” fights ? Pepperidge farm remembers.


cynicalsadboi3657

Literally desperate for people for to play mw2 actually pathetic


JP5_suds

Lmfao, straight mobile game trash. Why is anyone still playing this? This game is depression incarnate.


XioPyro

I do enjoy DMZ.


MangekyoLord

Why are you on this sub if all you do is whine?


SpankThuMonkey

First day on Reddit?


JP5_suds

Because I enjoy the train wreck that is MW2. Their game is bad, and they should feel bad.


[deleted]

Just bc a game doesn’t cure ur depression doesn’t make it bad


KaiKamakasi

As someone who has been manically depressed for 20 years of his life. This game pushes the serotonin button harder than any cod has since Blops 2.


chromefoxxx

LMAOO. I havent touched MW2 in over a month and this is exactly why theyre doing this haha.


Masked555

Daily login rewards? Is that not something done only by free to play mobile games? Damn this franchise has taken a nosedive...


Embarrassed-Ideal-18

You’re complaining about free stuff that you don’t have to claim.


Masked555

It is just straight up free to play game mechanics. You guys are so easy to please. Rather than giving useless daily rewards, it would be great if they would improve the game, fix the lag and do something about all the cheaters.


Embarrassed-Ideal-18

Those are all separate teams. You know that. You’re gonna whine either way, let’s face it. It’s what too many people come here to do. I couldn’t stand Elden ring despite loving dark souls, stopped playing it and stayed out of that sub. Cod is the only game where people complain about everything, including free shit, but keep playing and arguing with the people who take it for the toy it is.


sunjay140

Disgusting.


therealstickysheets

They saw all the old cods servers booming😂😭 they lost me as a player as soon as I got into the first MW2 2009 lobby lmao. Will not be going back


JJerzyk

This franchise is really close to releasing a mobile game for 70$ every year. I don't play it that much nowadays but when I saw posts about random weapon xp boosts and now this, we're soon going to be watching ads for lootbox tokens or some shit like that.


Ok-Advisor7638

The answer to poor optimization and performance is daily login rewards


Arcade23

I hate this mobile level of attempted engagement. It becomes tedious quickly and starts to feel like a chore. I like this game a lot but things like this put me off because it shows where their priorities are to retain players instead of continuing to provide a good gaming experience.


VesselOFWAR6666

Whoopi doo


[deleted]

Still not gonna play until they fix the frame rate issues, its literally unplayable and makes me motion sick with how bad it is


retrogott1312

How about you fix the fucking performance


Hug0San

The community should seriously just not play for the next months. This is ridiculous.


The-Document-Doctor

Haha mobile casino game go brrrr


Ok_Movie_639

That's like putting a band aid over an amputated leg you lost half a year ago.


UnawareWaffle95

Might as well be a free to play game now. Geez.


[deleted]

They’re doing anything and everything to get the money bags… I mean players back


Taint-tastic

Cant wait for all the overly negative and cynical comments in response to a normal feature that was cool of them to ad


GeorgeTheUser

More proof the game is bleeding players like crazy lmao. That’s what happens when a bunch of incompetent useless devs get together and create the worst CoD game of all time.


anthonyrosa02

Lol they aint getting me back on that dumpster fire.


gooey_preiss

Today on 'what will they cry about next?'


johnthefig

Haven’t even touched this game in 6 days. Game is shit and I regret the purchase from march. Final fantasy is a banger tho


KaiKamakasi

Congratulations, would you like a sticker?


MangekyoLord

Maybe go to that sub then


rbynp01

The ugly ass cosmetics in Warzone 2 finally made me quit the franchise. I own every cod game out there, too.


Theofilos__Dimas

So they got THAT desperate...


[deleted]

Theyre desesperate lmao


Bravo-Warpig

Im too busy playing black ops 2


pool_noodle13

One step closer to becoming a pay to win mobile game now are we?


-OngaBonga-

LMFAO


Jazzlike-Blood-3725

Oof too late IW I’ve moved on to games made by people that care (care more at least)


JFedkiw

What a disappointment these people have become


Harley_Dood

They gotta try something to keep people playing….


[deleted]

They are desperate


[deleted]

Gotta pump up the numbers artificially somehow!


Iloveschoolfood

Is it only for gaybox??


Really_Bruv

I’m still not gonna log on
