Console Availability
Call of Duty games are widely available on various consoles. Xbox consoles, including Xbox 360, Xbox One, and the newer Xbox Series X/S, support Call of Duty titles [1:1]
[2:3]. The PlayStation platform also hosts Call of Duty games, with availability spanning PS3, PS4, and PS5
[2:1]
[3:1]. These platforms require subscriptions like Game Pass Core for Xbox or PS Plus Essential for PlayStation to access online multiplayer features
[3:1].
PC Availability
On PC, Call of Duty games can be accessed via Battle.net and Steam [2:1]. Some titles are also available through the Microsoft Store, which provides access via the PC Xbox app
[5]. Notably, PC versions do not require additional subscriptions beyond a free Activision account
[3:1].
Mobile and Other Platforms
Call of Duty Mobile offers a free-to-play experience without the need for console subscriptions [3:1]. Historically, Call of Duty was available on Wii and DS, but these services have been discontinued
[3:1].
Crossplay Considerations
Crossplay is supported across many platforms, allowing players from different systems to play together. However, some users prefer disabling crossplay due to concerns about cheating [2:1]
[2:6]. It's important to note that certain versions sold on the Windows store may not support crossplay with Steam versions
[5:4].
Subscription-Free Options
Warzone, a popular Call of Duty title, does not require any subscription for online play, making it an accessible option for players who wish to avoid additional costs [3:2].
I have not played video games in years. Can someone tell me what console I have to buy if I want to play on active lobbies on Modern Warfare, World at War, or Black Ops?
Xbox.
What kind of Xbox? I'm really out of the loop.
Xbox is backwards compatible so doesn't really matter. Cheapest would probably finding a used Xbox one
Pretty straight forward, what platform do you play on? It seems like ps is the most dominant while pc is the smallest so I figured why not find out from the Reddit community.
Also I listed bnet and steam separately despite them both being pc since they are separated and steam shows its own player count while bnet doesn’t.
PC - COD 1/United Offensive, Modded BO3/WaW Zombies, And Clients
Xbox 360 - COD 2 - BO2
PS4/PS5 - Ghosts - MWIII (2023)
Have WAW-Ghosts on PS3 but MW2019-MWIII on Xbox
I bought a Playstation 5 slim as my first Playstation console, and also the MW3 disk, was hugely dissapointed to find out that in order to play MP and Zombies you needed to pay the Plus fee. Why would you have to pay on top of a 500€ console and a 70€ game extra in order to play? I mean even the name of the product is "Plus" which means you can get more out of it, but SHOULDNT be a requirement, you should be able to choose, freely if you want to pay for the extra content or not, things have gone to hell in Gaming Lately: imposition of a membership fee for consoles, no availibility of physical copies of games for PC which means you have to buy digitally and if you dont like it you are stuck with it forever, and if you try to sell your account you get banned. Miss the old times.
Playstation has been my main platform for COD since BLOPS3, because of the largest playerbase.
Crossplay somewhat diminished the importance of that, but sometimes I want to turn off crossplay and it matters.
I play a fair bit on Xbox as well, with PC the least.
I used to play pc the most but cod seems so poorly optimized for pc that sometimes it would just randomly run like shit.
I don’t mind crossplay tho, there is a lot of people who hate it because of cheaters but I remember pretty much every cod game got cheaters in it in the past, crossplay wasn’t really the issue, warzone being f2p is the main issue. You always would see a handful of cheaters in mp but not as many due to the cost of entry, f2p games always have had a hacking problem as far as I can remember.
Difference is old cods (PS360) ran on hacked consoles with actual WHs and aimbots.
This hasn't been the case since X1, and turning off crossplay actually, legimitatly gets rid of all PC hackers - of which there are MANY.
You're left with XIM/Cronus users, but that's mild compared to actual hacks.
Bro I don’t even play new cods on pc anymore, people automatically think I’m a cheater. I now play on ps with a plugged in keyboard and mouse for new cods
That’s so odd, I can immediately tell if someone is playing on kbm or controller. They both have their pros and cons, I admittedly play cod almost only on controller but play several other games just on kbm. Kbm doesn’t really have an unfair advantage on controller imo, Ik that’s going to piss people off but what you get in aim precision you lose in aim assist and aim assist is very strong in cod.
Hi I am new to call of duty and interested in getting call of duty. I know that there is many versions and games of call of duty, but I was wondering if all of the call of duty games need game pass/ps plus to play multiplayer. If there are some that don’t need gamepass can you please tell me, thanks for letting me know
you need gamepass core or ps plus essential to play online for ps3,4,5 and xbox360,1,x,s.
Mobile and PC (battle.net, Steam) don’t require anything else but a free Activision account
Wii and DS didn’t require anything but their services have been discontinued
Does warzone need gampass for online?
Actually, no. Warzone doesn’t require any subscriptions. Be wary of a random bug though that says your friend does if you ever invite them
mNk exodus - there is no point playing on mnk
Because the game is not playable on Mouse and Keyboard, you dont stand a chanse against that aimassist/aimbot.
Lots of friend quit this game because of the unfair gaming experience against controllers.
Does anyone know where this table is available?
Mat Piscatella on Twitter
Brother you got 0 self awareness. I hope you don't fail at life like this
Are you OK?
You're literally arguing with everyone to try to defend a multi billion corpo
Are you fucking okay? Cus if you were a relative I'd worry about you
Also have an Xbox. Paid $1 extra for 3 years of gamepass when they had the Gold deal. Free games on Xbox and Pc, game streaming on mobile devices. Great deal
Is there controller support for Windows store?
Probably
Not worth buying until it gets added to game pass since I don’t think they have cross play with the steam version
There's no crossplay, when you enter to multiplayer it does say "Xbox Network"
It’s probably completely dead rn since no one’s gonna rebuy the game again
Wait so it's not the steam servers? Lmao I remember they did the same stupid thing with Infinite Warfare and MWR where it was also sold on the windows store and steam and wasn't cross play.
This is such a odd move tbh. I could understand if it was cross play with Xbox one servers but it's not either.
it's not steam servers and not xbox one servers sadly
Where's infinite warfare :(
IW is already on windows
Infinite Warfare has been on MS since release
Here you go buddy:
https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/p/call-of-duty-infinite-warfare/9nblggh52xs6?activetab=pivot:overviewtab
I just hope that Black Ops II and World at War gets released soon, alongside Modern Warfare 3 and 2, they're my favorite games
I'd assume we'll see the remaining Treyarch games appear
Black Ops 1, Black Ops 2, World at War and Cold War?
Hoping for Black Ops Declassified too (the vita exclusive) because why the hell not
What do you love most about Call of Duty games? Tell us in the comments!
I play my xbox one when I want to play modern games (eg. Cold War) and I play my playstation 3 when I want to play old games (eg. Modern Warfare 2)
so mostly xbox
Anyone trying to play cod multiplayer???
A toaster dude come on.... put some respect on ma toaster...🥱😒 ifkyk😏
Samsung Smart Fridge
PeeCee and Android, keep switchin back and forth (although I do admit I'm pretty poopoo on pc lol)
Hello guys! I haven't played cod since MW 2019. I was hoping to get back in the series, and enjoy some multiplayer. I was wondering which call of duty has the most active player base on pc?
I’m still playing at COD4 remastered, I always find a deathmatch (also hardcore). Still the best cod ever
I hate that DLC weapon everyone uses lol it’s been shredding me every night
BO6
WW2 is picking up some traction again.
Is it? I’ll have to redownload it then
Just saw you said PC. I'd stay from it for a while on there. Hacks got it pretty beat up. But console is good to go.
Battlefield 6
Whatever the newest one is.
Hi all, never played at COD in my life but my son want to give a spin.... Were to start? I've a PS4... What's the differences between ModernWarfare, BlackOps and Warzone?
Black ops and MW are the same thing they both have a multiplayer where you play in teams against other players. There’s different games modes like domination, hard point, team death match etc.. black ops is known for there other gamemode where you play against zombies. MW has other modes that you can play as well that aren’t zombies but more “realistic”. Warzone is an addition to MW(it’s also in black ops 4 called black out) this gamemode is where you and your team(or solo) drop into one big map with a whole lot of other players and the objective is to be the last one standing.
I think starting out with black ops is bettwr cause you have zomvies to play as well IMO.
Very specific, thanks for take time to respond!👍🏼
The black ops are more geared towards the zombie game mode while war zone is something like Fortnite where it’s a battle royal against other people and I have no idea about modern warfare
Thanks 🤟🏼
black ops and modern warfare is that “normal cod” you hear ppl talk abt with team death match, capture the flag, and hold the point stuff like that. Those cost money. Warzone is free to play and is a battle Royale shorter like fortnite except it’s in first person.
🙂 thanks
The names are an indication of the times they take place in.
Warzone is a battle royale, like Fortnite. It's also free to play.
Modern Warfare is just a series based on a specific storyline, all those games have campaigns and multiplayer.
Black Ops is similliar, although (mostly) rooted in a different era. Black Ops is also known for the Zombies mode.
If it's about online activity, I'd recommend Black Ops 6 for PS4 as it's the latest game out there.
I have a pretty good PC and I wanna buy it there Only problem is my friends are on ps4 and we usually play one life gamemodes like search and destroy and even reinforce on ghosts which means I need to hear the game to listen for footsteps and to hear where shots are coming from
I don't know how good gamechat will be because I really want it on PC but at the same time if game chat isn't good then I would need to talk through ps4 which means I can't hear the game at all since I'll be using my ps4 mic
PlayStation is integrating with Discord in the coming months, check if PS4 will be getting it too, or if they have plans to upgrade bc tbh idk how well a PS4 will handle the game.
Get it on PC. It’ll be a while probably November but Discord is coming to PlayStation just like it did for Xbox. They can use discord to talk to you.
i would get it on PC
Pc get it on pc
I'd go for PC since you say you've got a pretty good one. You could find alternative ways to communicate with your friends while playing. Besides PS is getting full Discord integration soon.
And Xbox already has discord chat integrated so no issues
"worst cod of all time" "Doors" "TAC sprint"
MW19 is the goat and the industry standard for all FPS games!
Yes. MW19 was a game changer
Brought me back to COD after many years away.
MW19 was a game changer meaning the game was never the same afterwards. MW2019 was the best selling because CoD was gaining popularity over time until MW2019. After that people gradually gave up on the series.
Some of us kept buying the new games for a few more years hoping the feel would go back to the glory days but it just hasn't.
they fucked up by not putting Black Ops Cold War in the trash and instead doing MW19 year 2. of course, not as badly as they should have because every game released since then made millions of dollars but still.
if Activision wasn’t ran by a bunch of clowns who don’t even play games and just want money,, their franchises would be thought of a lot better in the public opinion.
Season 1 of BO7 they'll be selling Beavis and Butthead again. If we're lucky we'll also get Pickle Rick and Hatsune Miku
How is Gamepass counted for this?
this is PS sales only.
For money not units. It’s because it has way more monetization compared to old CODs
I can see why Infinity Ward is given so much room to do whatever they want
Unfortunately for IW, they can’t conjure up a global pandemic for each release for their games. MW22 was widely disliked and had awful player retention, that was them realising their gameplay philosophy in ways they failed to in MW19
Yeah, but they need time and innovation while keeping the modern/close past thematic. That’s where they thrive. Sadly CoD with the yearly release cannot afford that, so the cycle of good and bad games can span a while.
