Terminator bundle dropped. 3000 Cod Points. Re-uses voice lines from the movie(s) because Activision can't/ won't pay a voice actor for it.

Nothing clean, right.
Nice night for a walk.

The servers are so crippled during peak hours especially the WZ servers, not to mention the hackers in there. There's far too many hackers using wunderwaffe weapons in WZ that its laughable.
The fact that zombies was online only was a dealbreaker with the servers quality and all the other issues.

"Change is inevitable" - Maya's VA (instagram @ chantellegence) when asked about the VA changes.

What is Activision doing

Call of Duty News @callofdutynews.bsky.social · Dec 8

Activision have started replacing the Zombies Crew VAs. S.A.M Trials have been redubbed from the original Samantha Maxis VA.

This comes after most (if not all) VAs from COD Zombies went on strike for more protections from AI.

Fuck Activision.

- but with the rest of the cast on strike for protection from AI, it's highly likely that at the bare minimum, all the voices everyone knows and loves will be replaced and forgotten about (at least by the devs).

Not many people want Takeo to be recast to honor Tom Kane.

This is not good.

Call of Duty News @callofdutynews.bsky.social · Dec 8

Which is not only downright disgusting, it literally seems illegal. And the fact they already started using AI tools for loading screens and promo material shows that these guys are balls deep in the AI slop.

They've already replaced a few VAs but not credited the replacement VAs- (4-?)

Call of Duty News @callofdutynews.bsky.social · Dec 8

The issue with this being, unless they are recasting ALL of the old VAs (including Takeo, who suffered a stroke and can't voice act anymore), they might use AI tools to recreate the voices of Richtofen (Nolan North) or Takeo (Tom Kane) or even Sam Maxis (Julie Nathanson). (3-?)

Call of Duty News @callofdutynews.bsky.social · Dec 8

- but they're not the ones who will be actually using the product they put out to the general public. The only reason why I'm going on a rant here instead of elsewhere is because there has been leaks about the old Zombies crew returning in Black Ops 6. (2-?)

Call of Duty News @callofdutynews.bsky.social · Dec 8

Slightly different post than the usual format.

There needs to be laws passed protecting the rights of Voice Actors (and artists and other creative folk) in media. I get that execs will see replacing these people's jobs with AI as cutting costs- (1-?)

To clarify: The ghost render wasn't AI, the background and foreground was. Tweet seemingly deleted though.

Pointed out by FPSpsycho on twitter a few days back (also I think he follows me on here at @fpspsycho.bsky.social, give the dude a follow if you haven't already).

Call of Duty News @callofdutynews.bsky.social · Dec 4

Call of Duty has been using AI to generate tweet images, calling cards and some bundles. They were called out on twitter after using an AI image of Ghost eating... something. I think they deleted the tweet, but this confirms they 100% use AI for Call of Duty and aren't really ashamed.

Call of Duty News @callofdutynews.bsky.social · Dec 4

It is a server issue as their servers cannot handle the sheer amount of players and their post about this on xitter was COMMUNITY NOTED. They are actively trying to gaslight the players on there (one reason why i've been gone for a while)

Image attached.

There are hitreg issues that Activision are lying about, saying that "there are blood splatter issues on the clients end" instead of the servers shitting the bed at max capacity.
This can be observed on warzone at 5pm (your local time) until around midnight when the servers are at max capacity. 1/2
