Activision call of duty world war 2 (2017) playstation 4 game

I bought this game the day it came out, after about 2 days I had problems connecting and finding matches on multiplayer online. Once this was sorted after about a week it stoped working again it then worked for another week but now it keeps saying that there is an update. It then goes to download update but then something pops up saying ‘due to update failure (error:3 or 5) will restart' when you press x it restarts and the same thing keeps popping up. I can't play online at all due to this. If this can't be fixed or if anything else goes wrong I want my money back. The game has had none stop caused problems for me and has caused me to never want to buy an activision game again.

Activision call of duty ww2 zombies

The game unfortunately keeps crashing when I try to play on local play zombies. Every single time. I've had the game now for over a week and have not been able to play 1 full game yet. This is the main reason other than the campaign that I brought the game. If this is unable to Be rectified how do I go about getting a full refund as this is not the product I thought I was getting.

Getting kicked out of game for killing team mates is fine, but not NOT when you are shelling or bombing via kill streaks. Can't control that.

Activision destiny 2

Destiny 2 launched on Sep 6 2017 and was very anticipated by Fans of the original game.
We all expected bugs in the beginning but it was far worse than we all imagined.
The game was plagued by a bunch or errors which caused players to disconnect from the online game.
The worst error would be "CABBAGE". This error seems to hit mostly the players that use Technicolor Routers for some reason. You would get booted out of the game after a couple of minutes of play without fail. This isn't an intermittent issue either. It happens every single time!
Players have been complaining about the error since the launch on 6 Sep 17. Bungie had a so called fix which meant you had to take down firewall settings and put your network at risk in order to play this game. This did not even work anyways. This fix was only mentioned 6 days after the launch. We are now at 9 days since launch and nothing has been done!
Since then, despite numerous complaints on social media like twitter, Bungie have been very "busy" sorting out a number of other errors which had nothing to do with the Cabbage error that has kept players from playing this game since launch.
They have even done maintenance on the Destiny 1 game in this time which should not have taken any priority at this stage when Destiny 2 is unplayable for a large group of the community. They have not communicated to the Destiny community at all where they are with this error or even IF they are tending to it at all. We have all been left in the dark despite paying up front for this very expensive game.
We demand that Activision hold Bungie to account. They need to prioritize themselves to actively fixing this error without further delays. We demand that they keep us in the loop every step of the way. We would like constant feedback on the development of a working fix and the implementation thereof. We deserve to have at least 3 to 4 reports on this issue each day until it is sorted.
Should this problem persist even longer, Destiny 2 players with this issue should be refunded immediately if they so choose. For those wanting to endure this pathetic display of support from Activision and Bungie, Season passes for this game should be handed out at no extra cost to make up for the way destiny fans have been treated thus far. This is after all a broken game.

I feel like I and a bunch of people that bought the game feel disrespected. Bungie should at-least tell us something about the cabbage error instead of leaving us in the dark. That would save us the time being wasted on this most anticipated game to play of the year, instead of constantly waiting on something related to the "cabbage" instead of the "bee" or the other error codes. It just sucks that some of us bought the game of launch and can not even access the menu where you create a guardian.

Activision stat change to profile on modern warfare remastered

Hello I am here to complain about my stats being changed on Call of Duty Modern Warfare Remastered. I was playing online multiplayer over the weekend and on Sunday night when I got off, I was prestige 6 level 27. With 18, 003 kills and a 1.55 KD. I go on today or Monday 5/8/2017 and I see that I am prestige 6 level 8 with 17, 138 kills and a 1.53 KD. I have photo proof of both my level on Sunday and my level on Monday. My solution is that the DEVS. at Raven Software go in and change my stats to where they should be. My gamer tag is DriftyAnemone57 and my email is [protected]@optonline.net.
Thank you.

Activision Skylanders imaginators

I live in Australia and purchased the above game as a gift. We both enjoyed playing. However all retailers in Australia are not stocking this product. We are desperately needing dark sensei and others to continue with the game.
Can you please advise why bring something out when you are not supporting the characters to continue. This has been such a waste of money and time.
Are you not shipping any characters over
What is going on very dissapointing

Activision Black ops 3

Matchmaking is ridiculous and having people from Guatamala and other countries on US servers sucks..they all have 200 plus kills per minute and its due to lag comp...you and I both know this and its sad...also, there are so many hackers playing all your games its ridiculous...seems you sell the hacks before the games even come out...what gives...will you ever give good people an honest game we can play with good honest players...or are all your games just #### and loaded with hackers and your okay with it...if its about money then you can count me and several others out from now on...every game you have made has had hacks put out before the game goes public...makes me wonder if its you putting out the hacks for more cash I have seen so many vac ban players playing your games that its not fun anymore...please I beg you...do something about it...you put out excellent games and I enjoy playing them...for a second or 2 anyway

Activision Black ops 3

I have been trying to resolve an issue with purchasing a dlc -Eclipse for blacktops on the Xbox one. I get the error that I need to try another form of payment with all methods of payments.
I have contact Microsoft and Activision and they are passing the buck. I have money on a Microsoft card and I still cannot purchase the DLC. I have a 600 game system with about 1000.00 worth of black ops and MW games and the system is junk and the game is junk. black ops 3 has had more issues than any release I have seen. I am so done. I have 360 and PS4. I guess I will find other games to play on PS4 and get rid of Xbox one it is junk. Just like all Microsoft products I have every had.
I just want the game to do what I paid for and what it should do.

Activision Black ops III pre-orders

I think the company should be making more of the Juggernog Edition pre-order. It's unfair to actual fans of the franchise to watch a dream of theirs get sold on ebay for $800 to #2, 000 dollars. Its a shame that people who don't even care for the game or its content buying up to 3 at a time and selling them on ebay for ridiculous prices. It's unfair and unjust.

Activision DLC packs

Just voicing and trying to begin a group against the DLC content within activision call of duty games. While all persons across all gaming systems pay the same amount for the DLC packs the person's (myself included) that have the ps4 are not able to get the content for at least a month after Xbox owners even tho we've paI'd the same money for it. It's rediculous and uncalled for.

Activision bad customer service

Got Skylanders Trap Team deluxe for my grandson (from Santa). He opened the box, took out characters, and the scythe fell off one character. Unfortunately, my husband was hospitalized then we were in a bad car accident, so I couldn't call till today (reaching them is another complaint) and they told me warranty is voided because I didn't say the piece was broken before we got it. This company is TERRIBLE, does not care about customers of their expensive products, make themselves almost impossible to reach and should not be patronized at all.

Activision False advertising

Activision and Treyarch recently release Call Of Duty: Black Ops 2 with an offer that if you pre-order you will be given access to a map called Nuketown 2025. After this weekend they have removed the map from being playable, with no warning or explanation except for it will be back "On special occasions" I say this is False Advertising to and deceptive, it makes people pay more then they should by upgrading to a bigger edition of the game when in reality the extra money is not needed.
At no point during Activision’s promotion of the Nuketown 2025 pre-order bonus did they mention that the popular Black Ops map, re-imagined in a 60′s depiction of the “Model Home of the Future”, would only be available for a limited amount of time. There is a disclaimer on the Call Of Duty website that players will need to download Nuketown 2025 to access to Double XP Launch Weekend but nothing regarding it’s limited appearance. This has caused millions to spend extra money that they didnt need to.
I personally feel robbed and fooled by them. Needless to say i wont touch another product which bears their name.

Activision False Advertising in Australia

Good Evening,
Kindly accept this email as a complaint about your stokers/retailers who sell to consumers like myself.
My 6 year old son is into Skylanders as many children are at his age.
He has been waiting for months for figurines to arrive in Australia and also Adventure Packs.
My complaint is that your retailers, the like of Big W, Target, Kmart, and JB Hi-Fi are advertising in catalogues Skylanders in stock. They are advertising them in sale catalogues wherein sales have not even begun.
Upon our arrival to numerous stores today at our local Shopping Centre/Mall, my son was utterly shocked and disappointed that these advertised stores actually were falsely advertising that they had stock wherein they actually never had stock at all - when I asked them about their stock, I was told (with my son standing alongside me) that all stock had already been sold out. The sale did not even start until today yet all stock was cleared off the shelves.
Can you imagine the disappointment and grief that my son experienced today. All he could so was cry and say "its not fair mummy".
I would like something in writing from you by return email on how you as the product provider/supplier is going to rectify this ongoing issue.
My son is absolutely gutted.
Kindly reply to this email to [protected]@bigpond.com
My postal address is: M Griffin, PO Box 2969, Burleigh 4220, Queensland, Australia.
I look forward to hearing from you by return.
Regards,
Maree Griffin

Activision Defective USB Receiver

I purchased the starter kit for the Skylanders Wii, the portal worked for 6 hours, my husband immediately went online and requested a new usb receiver. It took 8 days for us to get an email from them saying they got our email. A label had been created but nothing had been shipped, soon it will be two weeks since we turned in our issue.
Activision if you are going to make a toy/game that is wanted by everyone, and they are willing to drop 70.00 for just the game, the portal and three little guys, a replacement part should have been overnighted to the consumer. There is no excuse for two weeks to pass and not have the piece that they need in order to play the game.
I have bought many of activisions games, but after this i dont know.

you all seem to be missing something. when a expansion comes out there are flaws in it that are unforseen to a company. it happens. the code in waw was changed in mw2 and caused gaps that hackers exploited. as for refunds read the terms of service for the system you got it for. xbox live states there is no refunds. if it was in store then you need to return it within 30 days. if it was from activision themself its 30 days. hackers are in every game. as for wii mess up sounds like you interupted the update. i cant say more cause i dont play mw but it sounds like your just letting off steam for new updates.

i recall when wolk and cata came out there was a hacker cry out but it wound up to be that the ones who "were" hackers had a expansion the others didnt buy. now im not ligitimizing those who use exploits they find that were not intended by the company. those i agree should be punished, but telling a company who may be dealing with the problem the best they can to pay a refund for a product because your unhappy months later [or in this case i belive a year some of you have had the game] is just crazy and asking for trouble.

I played w@w today with a friend... it was unplayable because of all the hackers. This is THE first COD game that I will trade in for a different game.
This is a shame, and I for one, will not stand for it. W@W is my favorite COD game and I am done putting up with this. I took pictures with my cell phone of all the people hacking as we tried to play. We didn't get ONE single game in over an hour searching.

They need to fix this asap... the sad part is, they CAN but seem to refuse to. I have always been on the companies side throughout the years, and have spent a LOT of money with them. I want a full refund for the game and the map packs! How dare you treat the consumer this way! Activision and Treyarch need to stop bowing down to these little kids who ruin the game for everyone else... because they are afraid of losing their business... well, their parents business.
I am so upset about this, that I will no longer purchase anything by these companies again! Everyone I play with has also agreed to boycott them. If this problem is not remedied quickly, I will start a massive campaign to make things very awkward for Activision. I know they could care less about me, but that is exactly their problem! Where are your spines?!
You spend a lot of time and money making us all want to buy the games, then once you have out money, you just ignore our pleas and let us down over and over again. I really feel as though we are pathetic fools to you! We sit here playing your crap, making you all rich, and when we BEG for a tiny ###ing crumb of support, we get NOTHING! Just more of the same empty rhetoric and ### lip service. Who the hell do you think you are? It is, after all, just a damn video game... If I ran a small business that way, I would be out of business faster than Sarah Palin could screw up a historical reference.
So you know you "got us" eh? so you think we are just sheeple, that will consume whatever you put out? Unfortunately that is fairly true for the majority of consumers... which is why I am assuming that none of you (Activision, Treyarch etc) will do a damn thing about it! ### us, I suppose. "Thanks for the money suckers, now get ready to buy our next severely flawed, moderately updated, version of the same game" I suppose you think. right? Am I wrong? Did I go too far? Well prove me the ### wrong then!
Don't be THAT company... the one who screws over its loyal followers. We are the reason you have a damn multi billion dollar a year corp to begin with. How about a dose of ###ing respect and humility for what we do for you? Thanks for the games guys, but please stop slapping me in the god damn face after my credit card gets approved.

I love the COD series, and the companies involved in making them... I know things aren't easy, and trying to make everyone happy is difficult... not to mention the pressure you all are under trying to make your Corp. profitable and relevant to today's consumers, but we are not talking about something as difficult as all that, we are talking about stopping people from ruining your work and reputation! You would think you would WANT to make yourself not look like a ###! If I were in charge over there, I would be ashamed of myself for what your letting take place with your work.
Perhaps you don't care... or perhaps you are blissfully unaware of what the MAJORITY of us are going through while trying to cope with your product. Either way, it is a travesty, and in my opinion borders on fraud!

I am calling for everyone who feels as upset as I and my friends do, to DEMAND a refund for Call of Duty World at War and the Map Packs, RIGHT NOW unless something is done!
FIX it or man up and compensate us for your LEMON of a game! Since its release, this game has been plagued with problems and exploits and hacks that make it almost unbearable for us to play without needless stress and frustration! While the majority of us sit here and wonder WHY no one does anything to support us.
Battlefield 3 is coming out soon, and I know a LOT of folks who will be switching brands come October is nothing is done. We all WANT to buy your games. We all WANT to love the, and play them as often as possible.. we WANT to give you our hard earned money for a great product and spend years talking about it, and you, as "game changers"
The only thing we can say at the moment is, you are becoming "Game wreckers"
The COD franchise deserves better than this. We deserve better than this. Show us you care, even a little. Prove to us that you don't think of we are just sheeple. Give SOMETHING back to the folks that MADE you, for the love of God!
I want to play COD for years to come... overall I Love the games, as they give me and my friends a platform to interact and socialize. My friends and I have formed valuable relationships because of this series. I play with people from the USA and England. Some of which are actually flying out here in October to spend their holiday with me, and experience the US for the first time... all because of Xbox Live and Call of Duty. This is bigger than just a game. Lives are actually altered because of what you do, no matter how silly or over the top that may sound, it happens to be true.
All we ask is for a tiny show of support back. Please?! I honestly would hate to stop buying and playing your games, but we will. It has gone on too long now.

it´s been awhile since i played waw, but now it´s almost unplayable 1 of 20 matches there was an hour without noticing peps in unfinite healt mode or flying around. i am getting ###ing annoyed, many of these peps using hacks have youtube channels with adresses over the whole friggin screen, well almost, i went into one and guess what half of their watchers had the tumbs down, they hate em, so why do they keep cheating and ruening all the experience. i agree with most here except one month banning, permanent banning is more like it, but then again if you got one team cheating and the other dosent then someone have to stand up and cheat or loose, well anyway not cheating here. hope those ###ing ###s that can´t play the game get banned. i urge everyone to go to the hackers youtube channel and describe if you can on their channel what they do and report their video as garbage or send a complaint to youtube. then they cant win anything on their channel if they try to commerca their website or whatever. waw hackers if you read this, you are a bunch of ###s that suck in waw.

I agree man I tried to play today for the first time in months and it was unbelievable how many people had used that stupid god hack. Unfortunately Activision and Treyarch dont give a ###. They're going to make hundreds of millions of dollars off of the new modern warfare and thats that. Its just poor company integrity on their part.

Activision X Box 360 Game Quality Issues

Think twice before buying any games made by Activision!

We purchased an X-Box 360 for our sons on Christmas, along with a number of games, including Call of Duty: Black Ops and Modern Warfare 2, both made by Activision.

Last week, I noticed small cracks radiating from the center of the disks, making them unusable (see links below). As background, our sons have always taken care with their games, putting them back in the cases when finished and taking them out of the cases correctly. Since our first game system in 2004, a Sega Dreamcast, through a Nintendo Gamecube, a Wii, and now the X-Box 360, we had never experienced a disc with cracks like these. Now, four months after buying these games, and paying a premium for them, they can't be used. A number of other X-Box 360 games, made by other manufacturers and purchased at the same time as the cracked discs, are fine.

I suspect, although I have no way of verifying this, that the MW2 and COD disks are more brittle than they should be, and I've also noticed that the disc cases are a little rough on the inside of the disc when you snap it in place. This is not acceptable for a game that people pay $70 for.

As per Activision Customer Service: "Unfortunately we cannot replace any physically damaged discs without the $20 per disc replacement fee. The limited warranty on the disc is only 90 days, and will not cover cracks."

Yeah, it's unfortunate, unfortunate to me to have to pay for these discs again. I find it interesting that Activision is running a profit center that benefits from a potentially defective product.

I will probably spend the $40 for replacement, because my sons really miss the games, and because I have no other choice. If they were manufactured at a level of quality corresponding to their high prices, the games would still be working. Activision refuses to acknowledge that there is a problem. All I'm asking is that they exchange my discs at no cost, and look into the matter. I guess it's not cost-effective to listen to your customers, is it?

I will avoid Activision in the future when I can.
