PLEASE get this man a new camera. They arent crazy expensive and it would be a worthy investment to improve the quality of this show. I want this show to succeed I've been loving it!!
I have been holding off from saying this. AI is equivalent to a human growing up without human feelings while being controlled by people who also don't care about human feelings. AI has no feelings. AI has no imagination. AI is just an evolving technology that does what it is told. I don't like AI; it was close to keeping me away from bo6. Sam's voice actor leaving kicked me out... and I'm not even an OG player. I only play for 1 MP game once a while or play with friends. Also, if you ask, I have never bought an in-game purchase on Call of Duty, ever. Besides Zombie Chronicles for BO3 Anyways have a good day!
Really enjoyed listening to these topics tbh Question - have you guys thought about interviewing a casual COD player for their takes on modern cods? It could offer some insight into what the large amount of the player base things about todays games
Hey guys thanks for the podcast. Idea for chop: can you after the main easter egg hunt for each map is complete release an edit of a video of how did the process of solving go ? Me and my friends wouldn't watch the entire streams but would love to see what was your thinking and ideas when being stuck at certain steps etc 🙂
I think after BO6’s release I’ve decided to quit Call of Duty. I’ve realised this isn’t the same franchise anymore and probably never will be - I’ll take a look at IW’s next game as the engine & gunplay are phenomenal but this feels like the end
On the topic of ai, cod in recent years have seemingly been losing its soul little by little every year. Ai as fascinating of a technology as it may seem, really is just an overcomplicated art theft program, this not only adds on that identity loss cod has been suffering but it compromises the creative minds behind the game.
W pod once again. Chop just needs a camera upgrade. It’s not too bad but an upgrade is def needed and reasonable suggestion. Great pod nonetheless guys! 🔥🔥🤝🏽
Guest idea: Would LOVE to see Syndicate coming on and expressing his thoughts on Black Ops 6. I feel like him and Chopper would have a really good conversation about Zombies in general
I have been more on the positive team of BO6, but entirely because of zombies, haven't played MP in weeks except for prop hunt with the boys. I am going to keep playing zombies even if they make an entirely AI bundle for $30. The one thing I will not tolerate and will boycott immediately is if they lose Nolan North or use AI to make voice lines for Richtofen. I have faith they will not make that mistake. Sorry for MP players who thought this was gonna be a classic black ops game as far as MP goes.
I want to know your guys’ Dream Campaign. Or Dream CoD. All the best features of each mode you want in a single game. Zombies rankings. Jetpacks. A campaign with choices or no. I want each of you to build a Dream CoD and lay it out for eachother and your audience in an episode. I’d also be curious as to anyone else’s “Ideal CoD”. Maybe I’ll regret asking that. But still it’s a fun question I thought.
It seems obvious to me that AI was used in the development of this game and I've said since the beginning that i low-key think AI might've been used to make the map layouts in multiplayer, but has anyone stopped to think the six-fingered zombies/characters in the artwork is intentional because it's Black Ops "6?" Idk. I try to flesh out all possibilities before jumping on the tin-foil hat train. All the talk about skill based damage, skill based loot boxes in warzone, etc.. I personally think the servers and netcoding are just hotdog water and it's more likely just negligence and bad RNG as opposed to some insane conspiracy. SBMM feels like it covers the bases for player retention.
I can’t stand when people Gas Citadelle Des Morts out of pure copium. The map is mid and the swords are trash so is the lazy boring Easter egg. This coldwar/warzone style needs to be done with already and go back to OG zombies
How about a customer appreciation day where we get to call in or jump in a call and ask a question. Don’t know how it would work but that would be awesome
All that next years Black ops 2025 game needs to do to perfect omni movement is remove Tac Sprint, and remove the delays in between stances with more fluid animations. Tac Sprint makes omni movement feel clunky when in reality it's not. I would be shocked if next years Black Ops 2025 game still has it
I’ve almost got nebula and I agree that they over did it with these challenges 2000 headshots on 33 guns but I still had fun I have dark matter and nebula now and I’m going for abyss soon taking a break cause I’m prestige master level 185 rn
The 6 finger Santa thing doesn’t bother me but it’s just really funny and also shows that no real human probably even checked the art before putting it out.
I'm never buying another bundle from cod . How do you assess value for someone's work if no one worked on it ? It's ai generated it has little to no value
Nah. BETA OPS 6 keeps going downhill with every update. Treyarch changed the sensitivity settings after i've spent around 250 hours of gameplay tweaking my settings to perfection. I am at 269 hours now and I cannot get my settings even close to were they used to be. If they would quite fixing things that aren't broken, it might stand a chance. (i.e. Prestige Master screen comes on after every game now, Sniper shots that are dead on (hardscoped with opponent standing still produce no hitmarkers, server issues (half the time I play nuketown all the cars are invisible although my ping sits steady around 20-30 etc.) I hope "the ship goes down" soon so Treyarch/Activision will produce something good for multiplayer. Zombies is good, but it does lack an open world map. Round based zombies gets boring pretty quick IMO. Playing on Xbox X in case anyone has any pointers for me.
i do think we as a community need to take a very strong stance against AI, because if we still play the game, and support Activision, it will get worse
Art/assets being made by A.I is NOT cods biggest problem. Its the A.I manipulating everything in the background in game. Everything else doesnt even come close. The act of playing the game just isnt fun anymore, its a carefully curated set of circumstances and scenarios you will be along the ride for. Nothing you do on modern cod is organic anymore. You are being played, not the other way around
I can't even play any other games I like bo6 so much but the cheaters problem is to much for me. I think I might have too take a break from gaming let me know when they fix the hacker problem then il be back. Sike I'm just going to play zombies until then 😂
You obviously have zero idea of how game design works😂😂 the maps aren't AI. I can promise you that. The controversy comes from AI artwork like calling cards, loading screens, prestige emblems, etc. Not the maps my guy
Overall, I think Ai is fine. I don’t want it in voice acting, and actual in-game content creation. However, marketing materials is totally fine, to me, to be Ai. I’d rather them dedicate time and talent to things that benefit the game, like bug fixes, balancing, innovation and things like that instead of spending time on graphics and marketing materials. The ethical side of using ai for micro transactions is obviously sticky, but if they use AI as a productivity tool instead of trying to replace people I think it will work just fine.
I understand you love cod and i love it too. But at the end of the day AI in games is only a small thing compared to what is happening in the real world.
lol how are player number not a measure of how good something is especially when they do as much advertising as cod… Meanwhile Fortnite going up . I think it is indicative somewhat if not hella correlation
AI improvements to dev tools/ software is fine imo. but AI generated content is awful. no matter how “cool” it might look, there’s always this weird sheen/ texture/ to AI generated images that gives me uncanny valley vibes
I think you're both fooling yourselves. People are deserting this game fast, including me.. I'm not someone who'd easily quit a cod game either. I liked MW 22 and kept playing it for ages 😂 I can accept faults in a game, but not a game that's lazily and badly made. You're right; BO6 deep down could have been the best cod in years..But the positives have been buried by the terrible anti-cheat, lag, skill based damage and horrible matchmaking. It needs to be fixed, because people will only put up with so much.
We are fighting the wrong war. There’s going to be a day where AI can generate a map from the ground up every time we play a new match. Without bugs and without glitches. Better than any map that a human could make. But here we are arguing about a loading screen because it has six fingers. That everyone noticed and everyone didn’t care until a bunch of RUclipsrs pointed it out and gave us a bunch of reasons to be “angry.” The truth is there’s plenty of mistakes that people have made over loading screens far more than AI has. The voice actor problem is equally stupid because nobody cried when all the factories that produced clothing closed down because it’s cheaper to build a factory in china and have children make our clothes for pennies in labor cost. But now that a few reach actors are getting replaced because there jobs are easy enough to be replaced by a software programming everyone seems to care. That’s how the world works. The easy jobs get pay cheap not because they’re easy but because there is no demand for it. AI has created a world where there’s an infinite supply of voice actors.
It makes no sense that the battlepass is cheaper and has more content in Fortnite which is free to play for a big portion of the market people still have to pay full price and to get access to all the content, it cost over double the price in Fortnite you get at least 3 versions of each skin for one flat price activision are greedy, lazy and treat their consumers as jokes I love bo6 gameplay but it’s getting harder to justify supporting it
Bro for the sake of our eyeballs please get a new cam! My eyes are hurting just looking in your direction because you look so out of focus and washed up. I have a webcam from 2007 that got better image quality than that thing… 😅
PLEASE get this man a new camera. They arent crazy expensive and it would be a worthy investment to improve the quality of this show. I want this show to succeed I've been loving it!!
Chop got different priorities if he can get off his aah playing zombies
I feel like it adds more to the show than if he upgraded it🤣 #keeppixelchop
I love Chop’s cam but 4K Chop would be fire not gonna lie.
he has a "4k" mic but a 240p camera and i love it. it adds personality and keeps a running joke
All in favour of Chop getting a new camera say I.
why my cam so zoomed in😭
They keep talking about your camera Ch0p but they continue to watch. Tell them that they are welcome to buy you a new camera 🤣
Keep the awesome content coming Ch0p! 🫡 🫡
Get more zoomed in and slightly blurrier each episode and never mention it
I can't see you that well in the video... I think a little zoom could help
My boy over there blowed up 😂💀
I hope chopper gets a new camera for christmas 🙏🏻
Man chopp is so goated, he is one of the few people online I find myself agreeing with most of the time.
I have been holding off from saying this.
AI is equivalent to a human growing up without human feelings while being controlled by people who also don't care about human feelings.
AI has no feelings.
AI has no imagination.
AI is just an evolving technology that does what it is told.
I don't like AI; it was close to keeping me away from bo6. Sam's voice actor leaving kicked me out... and I'm not even an OG player.
I only play for 1 MP game once a while or play with friends.
Also, if you ask, I have never bought an in-game purchase on Call of Duty, ever. Besides Zombie Chronicles for BO3
Anyways have a good day!

I wish you guys didn’t always limit it to an hour 😩

Has the worst takes
The A.I. overlords coms banned me for just shit talking my friend. I have everyone else in the lobby muted 😂

I come home and pass my finals and we got a new going dark podcast episode! LETS GO❤

I don't know Chopper, but his would be BO2 campaign, BO2 multi-player and BO3 zombies.
If chop was a gemius he ain't never gonna change his camera because people come just to comment about it😂

Loved this episode! Would love to hear your thoughts on the cheating problem in COD in a future episode. Thank you guys for the good content.
The video is longer then it has been out, so you haven’t heard the whole thing yet
I can’t stand when people Gas Citadelle Des Morts out of pure copium. The map is mid and the swords are trash so is the lazy boring Easter egg. This coldwar/warzone style needs to be done with already and go back to OG zombies
This is how I feel about it
Love to see the boys back!
brother you guys are at like episode 40. not 26
BO6 Multiplayer is mega crap.
Mid to poor maps.
Terrible SBMM & Team balancing.
Zombies is chillen… kind of … when it works.
Campaign was just stupid.
For 50, Chop gets a new camera! 🙏🏼
you guys should start a subreddit for people to talk about cod and five opinions on 1. recent topics 2. video ideas 3. anything cod related
Hell yes!! New episode! 🥹
Let’s go, thought they was gonna give up
Please get eight thoughts on here his a legend.
As a zombies only player for BO6 I really hope that the next map isn't full of AI voices man the Samantha one just sounds soo off
How about a customer appreciation day where we get to call in or jump in a call and ask a question.
Don’t know how it would work but that would be awesome
For all it's faults I'm still having fun on Warzone.
Did anyone else notice TDawg wearing the same shirt as Maya from BO6 Zombies?
The AI of mwii was about the bots not the art
naaah chop keep the camera it feels 2011 core and it’s sick
I've zero interest in levelling up guns and unlocking perks in warzone against players who already did that in Nuketown.
Bring DMZ back f... Warzone 😊
No. No one wants Dmz
DMZ was fun but I just couldn't stand the Movement at times.
You two are really being to nice about bo6 I love cod to but it comes a time when you say enough
lol most engagement based tweet.
All that next years Black ops 2025 game needs to do to perfect omni movement is remove Tac Sprint, and remove the delays in between stances with more fluid animations. Tac Sprint makes omni movement feel clunky when in reality it's not. I would be shocked if next years Black Ops 2025 game still has it
Keep up the good work guys. You keep some of my faith in COD alive.
Bro buy a webcam its like $50. I know this man is running around with 2400 CP skins in zombies
Really no mention of lack of offline support or local multiplayer mode
I wonder if COD 2025 will carry forward the zombies maps from BO6. Kinda how they brought MWII MP maps to MWIII
would ba amazing if you bring THE OG Zombiestreamer "NGT Spiderbite" to your Podcast.
Greetz from Austria
I’ve almost got nebula and I agree that they over did it with these challenges 2000 headshots on 33 guns but I still had fun I have dark matter and nebula now and I’m going for abyss soon taking a break cause I’m prestige master level 185 rn
The 6 finger Santa thing doesn’t bother me but it’s just really funny and also shows that no real human probably even checked the art before putting it out.
Customizable calling cards would be dope but with restrictions ofc imo
I’ve gone back to bo3 😭
I'm never buying another bundle from cod . How do you assess value for someone's work if no one worked on it ? It's ai generated it has little to no value

Here I thought the real robots at Activision were in the C suite
AI is here guys. We'd do best to accept it.
It’s so obvious bo6 maps are AI made. They are not 3 lane and too small for the movement and there are head glitching spots everywhere
You obviously have zero idea of how game design works😂😂 the maps aren't AI. I can promise you that. The controversy comes from AI artwork like calling cards, loading screens, prestige emblems, etc. Not the maps my guy

This backlash is REAL! CoD may actually have to revise their gameplan here. Woohoo! Go team!
Still 140p cam broooo
I promise you the tick rate is 90% of why players are uninstalling warzone.
Random Royale.
I understand you love cod and i love it too. But at the end of the day AI in games is only a small thing compared to what is happening in the real world.
Let’s go!
Chop needs a new camera 😂
Ikr 🤣
Watching while playing Jingle Hells

Chop... my guy... you need a new cam
Is anyone interested in purchasing a COD zombie teddy bear dog tag, limited edition, from Dreamhack 2024 Atlanta, Still in original packaging?
When are gonna say something about nzxt scandal?
Let’s discuss how trash new zombies is and how we will never experience zombies in its true form again
Numbers and the general consensus on Bo6 zombies goes against your claim.
@ Activision is not open about numbers, so nice try. There are plenty of people like me that prefer how zombies used to be, over this easy slop.
@@ProphetOfDoubt Cool. Stay on the old games then, dawg lol
@ I intend to. Now be a good little piggy and enjoy your slop!

Get Raidaway on the podcast lads
Got nebula and mp diamond on most guns and some still arent max level 😂

Not that great on mp. It's boring terrible mnk play and shit servers
FIIIRST!!!!❤
Funny how everything expt. Zombies is trash. Or not going so hot. Zombie fans u got your wish this year
It makes no sense that the battlepass is cheaper and has more content in Fortnite which is free to play for a big portion of the market people still have to pay full price and to get access to all the content, it cost over double the price in Fortnite you get at least 3 versions of each skin for one flat price activision are greedy, lazy and treat their consumers as jokes I love bo6 gameplay but it’s getting harder to justify supporting it
Campaign is mediocre, mp is fine(probably would be great without the eomm and server issues) zombies is great and warzone is shit.

Turn off? Nah.
Upgrade? Yes.
Let’s go, thought they was gonna give up
