Activision Call of Duty WWII

I am unable to make my clan tag MAGA (Make America Great Again) because it is considered profanity. I would like to know what is profane about a patriotic slogan, especially for a war game where America fought. MAGA is not an acceptable clan tag yet BLM is? It seems as if one side is being silenced while the other is able to be expressive so I would like this issue to be fixed as it takes away my freedom to express myself and my love for the country.

Activision Call of Duty: Modern Warfare

Feb 13

I was disconnected from the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare game and since I have received a message stating Unable to connect to online services.

I went to support.activision.com and made my way to the online support chat where I talked to an individual, his name started with a G, who told me they don't know what my issue is, but others have the same issue and they would email me with a resolution. He took my information.

Feb 20

I haven't heard from support, so I went to the Activision support site and talked to the same individual who told me the same thing.

Mar 02

I still have not heard from support so I went to the Activision support site and talked to Byron C.

Byron C stated I was banned, would not tell me why, said I couldn't talk to anyone about the issue as it's final

Mar 03

I called [protected] and spoke to the operator, her name is Nikki.

She emailed supervisors and told me call back if I don't hear from anyone in 24 hours.

Mar 04, called back, Nikki transferring me to customer service, I spoke to a supervisor who confirmed I was banned, but told me no one will tell me why I was banned stating it's a security issue and told me there was no one who will tell me why I was banned.

I still have no email why I was banned.

I'm left wondering why I feel like I was just ripped off. Because this is a software company, they apparently have the right to keep this kind of information with no hope from customers who play their game.

Activision black ops 4

Not much needed to say except Activision and their studios have a terrible consumer business model. Consumers pay the same for a product like Black Ops 4 and Xbox/PC have to not just wait for DLC that comes to PS4 first. Now with Black Ops 4 updates are a week early for PS4. Consumers are arbitrarily getting penalized for buying their product on Xbox. It needs to stop.

Activision call of duty mw2 and mw4

Hi

Not long after I purchased MW2 from Microsoft (24/10/17) and am unable to play because game freezes when "Waiting for Other Players". Just purchased MW4 and my rank was reset to one. Am unable to move forward in the game.

Please could you advise best options?

If you are unable to help, please could you arrange a refund of both games so that I can repurchase?

Many thanks

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.

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
Regards
Kellie

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.
