I agree. I absolutely despise the way they designed the mute button on my headphones. It's incredibly obnoxious, inconvenient, and a terrible way to mute my mic. Having to take my hand off the controller just to mute my mic is beyond annoying.
On the other hand, I love how PlayStation handles the mute control on their controller. A single press mutes, and holding it down activates a full audio and mic mute. If only Xbox could implement this feature, it would be fantastic!
I'm genuinely surprised that Xbox hasn't added this functionality to Xbox Accessories. It would be great to have the option to use the back paddle and X button to mute effortlessly for example.
They could have created a new model for Series X|S controllers or the Elite Series 3 that has a dedicated mute button with an integrated LED indicator. This way, users would have an intuitive and convenient way to mute their mic/audio while gaming or communicating with others. The illuminated mute button would serve as a clear visual cue, instantly letting players know when they are muted, avoiding any misunderstandings during gameplay or online interactions like I do everytime.
I personally wouldn't mind if they did, however as long as I'll be able to still play old titles.
As someone who has knowledge with cheats/mods and the community the closest anyone has got to a modified Xbox One was a kernel dump. I'm so happy that the Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S are bulletproof. They couldn't JTAG the Xbox One and that was good news.
If they can somehow do it to where it detects what console you're on that would be better - so say I want to play BO1 on Xbox Series X, if I'm on that it will let me through, however if it detect I'm on Xbox 360 it will just not connect to BO1 servers. I've studied networking but not enough to understand BC and how they'd get this to work.
I see alot of people on Warzone accuse Xbox players of cheating. They have no knowledge of how a cheat would need to run on console. How a RGH works is it allows a user to run unsigned code that the retail console doesn't.
I just want to clarify, I do not cheat at video games, I just use to use it by giving poor people who got XUID spoofed and gave them their rank, classes back etc
Yeah that's called doxxing. Unfortunately a thing called XUID spoofers exist too. Which is where a user enters your gamertag for example it will give me your XUID then can spoof your account and pretend to be you or even freeze your classes. So say you're on Xbox called GamertagHere and some guy sees the account cheating the report will go to you and that's the scary thing.
Admitting what? I use to help people unfreeze their classes, get their rank back after being deranked. Yes let's get banned for helping some poor person who got XUID spoofed.
I've never been in a public lobby with cheats. So I admitted nothing.
As someone who has a RGH (not for screwing people over in multiplayer, just for fun in single player games) unfortunately they'll never be stopped, I've been banned due to giving someone a recovery as he got his classes frozen, so I told I'll fix it for him, however I just buy a new KV that will get me back online, they patch COD, they'll be a new bypass out in a few hours. Unfortunately cheats/mods won't ever be stopped.
Since it went backwards compatible we've had problems. Myself and a few others have tried contacting MS, and Activision since it went backwards compatible. Finally after many years they did something. I can finally play my childhood CODs. The best Call of Duties ever made.
The only thing that interests me this August on Game Pass is Texas Chainsaw Massacre. Hopefully we got some other brilliant titles. PS are legit pumping brilliant games on their service.
Yeah I believe they have the ability to take away, change and shut down anything even when a user has paid. I believe that's what I read in the small print of buying a bundle I miss when Activision didn't care about money, I miss the BO2 days
When Caldera came I played it every season just too see how stood up. I didn't enjoy Caldera at all. The map never got better and was a shame that Verdansk was replaced by this. However Caldera did have some QoL updates like squads total money, gas mask toggle and other QoL updates Verdansk never got.
Meanwhile in Warzone 2.0 those QoL updates have not even been implemented. I thought I idea of having another game was to make it better and add the feedback.
IW have been really shameful and embarrassing when it comes to Modern Warfare II, they ain't just to blame of course, Activision is a major factor to it too. Modern Warfare II doesn't seem to be having any decent QoL updates nor feedback being listened too. Modern Warfare 19 is an absolute monster compared to Modern Warfare II, I thought number II was meant to be better?
Regarding this issue, I feel like they want everyone to transition to Warzone 2.0 to rake in more money by bundles.
I agree it deserves a remaster. I too laughed - more than I should have, it was a fun and entertaining game, I could replay that multiple times and not get bored.
I know this is a different genre, but Manhunt was always good too
This. I remember Forza Motorsport 7 just came to Game Pass and I believe it wasn't even on there that long, I mean like a month or two, less than that.
If Xbox can provide high quality then maybe they can be higher. However with the price increase I doubt it now.
Microsoft are a greedy company. I'm honestly annoyed about the increase especially when there's officially no decent titles on Game Pass until later this year. Bad move.

Re: Call Of Duty Team Confirms Modern Warfare 2 Content Carries Over To 2023 Release
Thing is, MWII in my opinion is absolutely horrible - the graphics have downgraded from MW19, there is lack of content and no QoL updates.
Considering there wasn't meant to be another COD this year I'm guessing they had to change their mind as MWII wasn't doing great.

Legit what I was thinking. I wish Forza Motorsport 7 became on here or some other titles. Meanwhile PS get impressive collection on a monthly.

I actually miss SOF, that was by far way ahead of it's time. It was so good and the gore, dismemberment system for that time was absolutely amazing.
