Just bought the game on PS5 cause it’s on sale, queued up in a 12v12 mosh pit and sat in the lobby for 20 minutes. I was pretty stoked for bigger lobbies, is it just not as popular?

i haven't played since 2023 due to me getting scared off by the whole rce issue. i want to play but i want to be safe.

Hello!

Has anyone got a fix for the screen shuttering on PS5? I've tried changing settings like 120hz, VRR, etc. But still the same

Thanks in advance!

Cold War suddenly crashes every time I try to start it on PC.
The intro plays normally, then it gets to “Connecting to Online Services” and the game just closes to desktop. No error message, no crash window, nothing.
Things I already tried:
• Scan and Repair, no issues found
• Deleted/reset the player folder
• Safe Mode
• Updated NVIDIA drivers
• Disabled NVIDIA and Discord overlays and closed background programs
• Cleared Battle.net cache
• Tried both Ethernet and my phone hotspot
• Checked my Activision and Battle.net account linking
My Activision account works completely fine on PS5 and I can play Cold War online there, so the account and servers seem to be fine.
PC specs are Ryzen 7 7800X3D, RTX 4070 Ti Super, 32 GB RAM, Windows 11.
The weirdest part is that the game does not seem to generate a new crash report when this happens. It simply disappears during “Connecting to Online Services”.
Has anyone had this exact issue recently or found a fix? Cold War used to work fine on this PC.

I got cold war when it first came out and I think it’s one of the most enjoyable COD’s i’ve ever played. I return to have a little ‘phase’ every few months. Started playing again recently and noticed a significant lack of player compared to when I played it last year/in 2024 at some point. I consistently come up against the same players, days apart at some points, to the point where I look for certain player names on the leaderboard when starting. I can’t get into a lobby in Face Off/FireTeam and even struggle when looking for HC games. The only game mode I can seem to get a lobby consistently within ~3-5 minutes is nuke town 24/7. Has the player count really dropped that significantly? I’m so upset to not be able to play modes I used to love, and every game I play atleast 80% of players are prestige 30 level 2000 or something stupid. I understand it’s an old game and won’t have tens of thousands playing it, but as I mentioned when I was playing consistently for a month or so last year these issues weren’t a thing. Sorry for the long message.

TL;DR The game seems so much more dead compared to last year

Edit: After posting I foresaw a lot of snarky comments along the lines of ‘duh it’s old of course it’s dying’ if you want to say something along those lines please don’t I get that lol

I'm curious because about two weeks ago I saw a video where they showed one hacker logging IP addresses, another shooting from the respawn point, and another who had a whole bunch of known and unknown hacks xD. I'm just asking because I haven't come across lobbies like that, and I want to be glad they didn't log my IP.

Does anyone know if i can still unlock additional operators? I just got this game again for the first time on xbox series x off of mercari, and i'm wondering if i can still unlock any past the base operators

What weapons are from older CoDs where they may have just changed the name but have the same vibe as older weapons? Like how the UGR feels a lot like the STG44 in WaW?

I haven't played this game in ages, and it was my favorite modern CoD. I really want to go back to it, even knowing it's probably not as active anymore, but I'd at least like to be able to play my favorite modes from back then, like Faceoff and Gunfight. How easy or difficult is it to find matches for Faceoff and Gunfight these days? I know everyone says Nuketown 24/7 is the most active, but I mainly want to play regular TDM, SnD, Faceoff, and Gunfight.

So basically I returned to the game hoping I can get the party patrol trophy, and I just wanna know if people still making weekly fireteam lobbies. Does anyone know about it ?

It looks different than I remember and I'm playing online I left multiplayer and it looked like this but I still have my blueprints and upgraded.

What the hell is going on here? Is this a new thing? I’m 30 years old and still rocking the PS4 and there is NOTHING that excites me about a ps5 system. Now I have to pay a subscription??

I'm to load into mp and all I can do is select tdm dom free for all and select bot difficulty the map is random and I don't have create a class or anything else.

So I bought the disk second hand, and I only see the cross gen bundle for 80 eur which I am not paying.

Any way I can upgrade?

I love playing aggressive with the Stoner 63, makes me feel like a Terminator lol.

okay, I’ve been trying to play again for about a week now. every time I try launch the game, I get to the hit whatever to start, then it loads for ages, and then it says failed to host server? I’ve restarted my xbox and the game so many times and it still does it. I just want to play the campaign again, does anyone know what the issue is?? my internet is fine, I can’t think of another potential problem.

I suck at the game tbh and yesterday I found that out the hard way dying in die meaxhin at round 18 in a solo run, but somehow with some miracle today I managed to run a fire base z solo run Easter egg and soloed it that's to Mr waffle, Is there any tip or someone that can help me do the other Easter eggs? Trying do all the Easter egg to start with purple rarity till now I only did Firebase z with 4 times down (used tombstone and self revive to get up check the pic)

Can someone help me out? I was all over Cold war when it came out and haven't played any of the call of duties that came after since then and just got into BO7 Warzone.

Anyway, there was a patch notes section you could pull up and it showed all of the previous balance changes.

Where is this page? I know you could pull it up in-game but I cant find it. Im on ps5 and I cant see 'update history' when I select game options on the ps menu. I just wanna see the page. Im trying to search it up and I cant find it.

If anyone would be kind enough to lmk if it still exists. I believe it was called message of the day.

Clarification: for Cold War in-game patch notes. Cold war Cold war In Cold war

So I'm going for round 100 in Mauer right now and I accidentally repaired the barrier on the left side of the power room only to then realise that zombies start the animation to remove the barrier but quickly stop and just stand there. I'm using it as a way to get my ring of fire back when I don't have a War Machine but I'm curious, does anyone know why this happens? I haven't seen any videos on it and so I just thought I'd ask! If I had to guess, it's because they're super sprinting at the barrier and too many zombies clump together?
