They wont remove it for payment it seems. Everyone who was dumb enough to pay yesterday is on the list again. Has anyone gotten any responses from Activision or the website where this was created?

Discussion How Consistent Has Fireteam Been Recently?

Post image
75 Upvotes

Good afternoon,

I've been busy with other things and planned on returning to Fireteam this evening. I've seen some videos on this subreddit featuring Fireteam gameplay this past month, so has there been games?

I'll be posting about it more in the near future to gather some more attention for it regardless

Thanks

If you launch Cold War with your internet off you can still get into the old game launch menu thing from before Warzone 2 got released, This is also now the only way you can still get into the old Warzone 1 menu after the COD HQ redesign (if you for some reason felt like it) by turning on your internet and then selecting the option to cross launch Warzone.

Just there are some weird oddities in this menu

1: it says Vanguard and MW2019 are still in their games season 1, but it also says you can Pre-Order Vanguard, if you were to connect online and then click/pressthe Play Online buttons at the bottom it will bring up the normal menu and say that the COD HQ is in season 1

2: (I am NOT sure if I’m right about this one take this with a grain of salt) Because of the game tiles getting bigger after they removed the option to cross launch from vanguard, MW2019/Warzone, and Cold War the cover art is misaligned for every game except Cold War.

3: The titles for MW2019 and Vanguard are being pushed off the screens. This didn’t originally happen in 2021 if I remember correctly.

Gameplay After 4 years I finally finished the dark aether grind for zombies

121 Upvotes

My brain hurts.
All jokes aside this was the 2nd most mind numbing grind I’ve ever done so far (mwz takes first place) but it most likely didn’t help cause I was doing the grind on mainly onslaught contamination for all those years. I have to give this grind a 7 just cause this game holds a special place in my heart and that the grind was a LITTLE fun at some times.

Question worth back in 2026?

17 Upvotes

I was checking the subreddit today and it made me want to play Cold War again. I even saw that someone managed to get a Fireteam match going, how is that possible, considering the mode has been dead for a long time, I only ever managed to play it twice, just to get the trophy.

So, I’m wondering if it’s worth jumping back in, and how one goes about playing Fireteam, is there a Discord server or something similar?

Question Question about LT Operators

I played throughout most of the game’s life cycle but moved from Alaska to the lower 48 around little after the halfway point. Is there any way, either legit or modded, to get those limited time operators? Like ghostface or diehard for example

Discussion Regarding the Black Box flickering bug (AMD)

2 Upvotes

So! yesterday I posted about a bug I had with Cold War with a black flickering box on the screen and trying to see of anyone can find a fix.

And I think i found a fix so far!

This Black box^^

Downgrade your AMD drivers to 25.12.1 the last version of 25, it fixed it straight away.

goto https://www.amd.com/en/support/download/drivers.html and select your amd card

Then Select "Previous Versions" and scroll down until you see this version

This one^^

Install this, your screen might flash black a few times when installing reset your pc and the launch cold war, your shaders will compile.

Now you should (hopefully) have no flashing black box at all.

I will also see if I can post a update if AMD update their drivers to fix this fully as well, I did put a bug report in, so hopefully they might get around to fixing it next driver update.

Huzzah! no black box to be seen!

Discussion I miss fireteam :(

25 Upvotes

Been playing a ton of outbreak to finish up my zombies intel (yes its been like 6 years and still havent gotten them all) but that got me thinking about how much i miss fireteam, it was so interesting to play with a 4 person squad on dirty bomb, and then they came out with fireteam elimination!!! It was so good and i feel bad for anyone who got the game within the past 3years or so as the gamemode is pretty much not a thing.

Question So how many main objectives is there on cold war zombies?

0 Upvotes

Tryna complete every main objective in zombies

WAW: Der Riese (main quest) completed

BO1: Der Riese (main quest) Dead Ops Arcade (beat it) Acension (main quest) COTD (main quest) Shang (main quest) Moon (main quest) completed

BO2: TranZit (richtofen side) and then maxis side, same with drise, motd good ending main quest, motd bad ending main quest, buried richtofen and then maxis side, both super eggs on buried, and origins main quest completed

Counting extinction: All 5 missions on extinction (all done)

AW: Complete Riot, Outbreak main quest, Infection main quest, Infection rescue 25 survivors for outro, Carrier main quest, Carrier laser parkour in 1:08 or less with fish, Descent main quest, kill Oz in Double Feature on Descent. completed

BO3 last gen: Shadows Giant and DE (main quests) completed

BO3 new gen: Shadows (main quest), all 11 nightmares missions to beat, beat dead ops arcade 2, the giant main quest, de zns gk and rev main quests, acension shang moon and origins main quests. (completed)

IW Space rave shaolin attack and beast main quests, as well as doing them again with dcut for talisman, beating meph, doing spaceland as willard. (completed)

WW2 Final Reich main quest, darkest shore, shadowed throne, The Tortured Path, well its 3 maps, its 3 eggs, and Frozen Dawn, which also unlocks the super egg. I've done all of the mentioned so far.

BO4: All 8 eggs on normal, hardcore, and realistic, (done all on normal, all but classified hardcore, voyage blood ancient evil and dotn realistic), all 9 gauntlets (all done)

Cod Mobile idk

Vanguard, Der Anfang, Terra Maledicta, Shi No Numa Reborn, and Archon main quests (all done)

MW3, I know complete all the missions for all the acts but that's all i know, i'vve done like 6 missions.

BO6: Liberty falls main egg (done), Terminus main egg, and that's all I know

BO7: idek, i believe you gotta beat dead ops arcade 4 but that's all I know.

But what about Cold War? I know you got the di maschine main egg, beat doa 3, firebase main egg, outbreak orda main egg, mauer main egg, outbreak legion main egg, and forsaken main egg, plus activating the super egg. All eggs, plus super egg done.

COTD for example doing it solo counts but only kind of, but doing it co-op counts as doing it fully, or outbreak advanced warfare for example doing it by getting the keycards normally counts but only kinda, doing it by getting the keycards by meleeing counts as doing it fully, does beating dead ops arcade 3 in First Person Mode count as doing it but only kinda, or fully? if fully I've done it, if kinda well i've done it kinda.

Does doing all the onslaught maps and getting a golden trophy for all of them count as a main objective? If so I've done only a few of them.

Discussion So I regret not giving Black Ops Cold War a chance

60 Upvotes

Been playing since Call of Duty 4 and rode the train all the way up until Infinite Warfare dropped, which is where I finally stepped off. Skipped that, returned for WWII and then skipped Black Ops 4 because the whole 150 health, manual healing, battle royale focus, and missing campaign just felt like it stripped away everything that made CoD what it was. Modern Warfare 2019 did the exact same thing to me. As the first of the modern reboot era, it introduced a bunch of design choices that killed that classic vibe, so I skipped past it and Vanguard too.

Fast forward to around 2023. I jumped back in during Season 4/5 of Modern Warfare 2 and honestly had a pretty good time getting my aim back after years away. Then Modern Warfare 3 dropped. I picked it up about two weeks after launch, which turned out to be a disaster for me. Everyone else was already fully leveled up running around with meta MW3 gear, while I was stubbornly trying to use underpowered MW2 carry-forward weapons. Combined with the absolute sweatfest of launch lobbies, I just assumed I sucked, played for less than a week, and straight up quit the game.

Because of that bad experience with MW3 and my general burnout from the earlier missteps of the franchise, I kept my distance from the newer generation of CoD. I had completely written off what was coming out, convinced the series had lost its identity.

It wasn't until about halfway through MW3's actual life cycle that I finally caved and gave Black Ops Cold War a proper look. And man, playing it was an absolute revelation. I realized I had completely missed out on what turned out to be an incredible game and a true spiritual successor to Black Ops 1 in my eyes. Because I was away from the franchise at launch and had my view tainted by the drastic changes in BO4 and MW2019, I had no idea Cold War was that good.

I am so bummed that I missed out on its entire life cycle, all the seasonal updates, and experiencing the game during its peak. It genuinely hurts knowing I slept on it in real time just because I was bitter about where CoD was heading. Anyone else completely misjudge a title back then and miss out on its golden era?
