This doesn’t make the game come alive , still the trashiest game ever. Not even close to mw2019 Era.
Players are saying that the developers are going to do anything but fix the game’s core issues which is holding it back drastically.

Activision gonna do anything instead of addressing the real issues.
While the bugs and glitches are common and do not always ruin the gameplay experience, Cheaters running rampant on the server is not entirely new toCoDand developers have still not found a way to fix this issue raises an alarm bell in the player’s minds.
The community wants action, not distractions
At the end of the day,Call of Dutyfans are dedicated and passionate about the franchise, and they want the game to succeed. TheSquid Game 2crossover offers various fun modes and brings a fresh life to the game, but it’s only for a short period of time.

As exciting as the new content is, it can’t hide the fact that there are still persistent issues degrading the game’s long-term health. Until Activision decides to prioritize fixing rampant cheating, hit registration issues, and poor optimization,the game’s reputation will continue to suffer.
The developers for the franchise have a history of delivering exciting new content, but it’s high time they give as much attention to improving the game’s performance as they do to introducing flashy new crossovers.

In the end, if the studio wants to retain its loyal fanbase and attract new players, it must address these fundamental issues before it turns away the very community that madeCoDa household name in the first place.
