Utterly Orwellian. 😳
Microsoft has patented AI technology that could change what people say during livestreams and alter their lip movements to match The system could replace spoken words in near real time, with different viewers potentially hearing different versions of the same broadcast

Ok, this is rad. Hunters Hollow bundle.
Modern Warfare 4 has a skin that allows you to equip a ghillie suit mid match. Not sure if I’ve ever seen something like this in Call of Duty until now.

Slow news day when one 5090 was stolen.
An NVIDIA shipment worth $11.4 million has been stolen in California. Six pallets of hardware disappeared during transport, The truck was using the logo of a food transportation company, making the shipment harder to identify. Investigators are looking into the theft, but there’s still no confirmation about which NVIDIA products were stolen.

Remember your commitment to transparency @CallofDuty @InfinityWard @RavenSoftware @gawdgriggs? You said no egos, remember? The people want all squad sizes in BR.
No reason to play Warzone tonight. Just gonna be sweaty players, and without duos it's not even worth trying. I'll play tomorrow, but I'm in no rush. Weird moves by @RavenSoftware (or whoever is at fault) to drop this integration without all core playlists. It just feels like they have little faith in enough success to fill each mode, when the real issue is their matchmaking system taking too long to fill the lobbies. They could adjust it - easily maximizing the time to match upper limit. We saw that changes could be made with BO7. No excuses anymore. And FYI, they've been on Open Matchmaking since BO7's integration, so it's easy to see it's adjustable. Regardless, it's a poor decision being made to actively worsen the game, and I don't agree with that. Sadly, I'm to the point where I'm done blanket praising Raven. I've been one of their biggest supporters since their initial takeover of Warzone, but if I can't even play the Warzone how I want, then what's the point? Heck, without duos / trios, guess what happens? There's teamers in almost every single match of solos. So not only can we not play with our friends, but people are going out of their way to say "f**k it" and hop into the same solos lobby with a friend anyway, which ruins the experience in ANOTHER MODE. Y'all really need to stop overthinking when it comes to playlists. Players should have the core modes, then if you want to add others, that's cool. Don't ever subtract to replace it with AI filled modes or otherwise. Sometimes, it's about community sentiment, and I guess that's just not as cared about anymore. I'm not sure if y'all saw, but all the goodwill built from such a baller update went out the window the instant everyone saw the playlists. "OH YES!!!!" to "Wait, what the f**k???" It's been over 200 days since Duos was in the game. I used to play duos almost every single day. Now I'm stuck with randoms who don't know their ass from a hole in the ground, or they're racist, or cheaters, or they die repeatedly and leave or ping the buy constantly. It's just miserable. Thank goodness it was decided to keep solos - which I'm sure is due to the BOR backlash. On the same topic, creators shared before launch to add solos then as well - AT launch, not after. Then some months later y'all dropped a whole post to justify it later when moving solos to BR, but the point was about TIMING. "At launch" is vital. Sometimes, the numbers just don't matter. But again, where's the faith in your own success? If you don't believe, why should players believe? Why should anyone want to play it? We see y'all happy to announce all this, but being dead silent about playlists shows you know it was a poor choice, and was purely analytics based. All while throwing in LTMs and extra splits in the matchmaking with this new "Opt in" feature so people don't have to play the game how it was built to be played. Man, patch notes look great; happy to see the work going in, but a ton of players are gonna hop on and hop right back off when they can't just play with one friend. I get that no one likes to have some arm chair developer telling them how things should or shouldn't be. I also get that this may feel like me just being mean, but if you read this from a players perspective, you'll see this is just criticism from pure exhaustion. I don't have anything mean to say about the company, the people that work there. Y'all are honestly dope as hell. But this is has been a purposeful and continuous bout of poor judgement, and it can be changed by literally the flip of a switch. To finally shut myself up, I'll say this: I want Warzone to succeed in the most selfish of ways, but also because it's the way that I get to connect with my community. It's allowed me to build such an incredible following, and that following shares their opinions directly to me. It's my job to try to forward the things that I constantly see in my community via my voice. This is something I've been seeing constantly. I'm exhausted by it, and I'm exhausted at the thought of another year of the same stuff, especially if this is where we start. Based on the patch notes, it's set to be good. I just can't get excited anymore when core features that directly impact the entire experience are removed for glorified money making tactics. This whole MW4 game was built on fixing community sentiment - THE WHOLE GAME is just getting people to see the COD identity again. Why not continue that? Warzone should feel premium in all ways, and that includes being able to play with any squad size at the launch of what is expected to be the games biggest integration.

Absolutely ZERO reason not to have all squad sizes. Especially at launch when the most players will be there. @CallofDuty @InfinityWard @RavenSoftware....come on guys. If you're not going to have all squad sizes, at least give us the transparency you promised as to why not.
Call of Duty would rather have world ending thermonuclear SBMM in Warzone than have a BR Duos playlist. Matchmaking times are a problem they created and now they're punishing the playerbase in order to keep SBMM cranked EVEN THOUGH THERE IS ALREADY THREE DEDICATED CASUAL MODES.

Down that bad, eh?
DICE is planning a '4XP' event in #Battlefield6 👀 It should be noted that the last Quadruple XP (4XP) event in the Battlefield series ran in Battlefield 4 and Battlefield Hardline in August, 2016. 10 years ago. The 4XP weekend goes live November 6th at 12 PM UTC.

Did I miss something? I watched the latest 'In the Ward' and there was nothing about Al Maz in there. Just a "big surprise" for Season-4.
