Will this be enforced on Black Ops 6 or just Black Ops 7? If it's Black Ops 6 as well then would people who don't have compatible systems be entitled to refunds or are they out of luck?i think this is the best location for :
Call Of Duty Has New Security Measures, Adding Secure-Boot Requirement
Call of Duty's Ricochet gets new updates for the battle against hackers.www.gamespot.com
its interesting and i wonder how many more game might follow suit
Season 5 of Black Ops 6 and Warzone arrives on August 7,
PC players without TPM 2.0 enabled may receive an in-game notification indicating their system does not meet the new security requirements when launching applicable Call of Duty games. However, the publisher says it won't be enforcing this or requiring the use of either setting during Season 5, but both TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot will be required when Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 launches later this year.

hard to say, i suspect it wont be this year they implement but probably next season for BO6 based on wording.
BO7 they pretty much said you need those 2 things.
i feel its a bit of an odd move as im not sure how it will help to much with cheating. a lot of the hack will happen within windows as example. you can also run virtual machines with both enabled so im a bit confused over the move

So when I start COD BO6 it tells me that TPM 2.0 isn't enabled/available, but Windows says it is.
Anyone else have this and did you manage to resolve it?

There's a thread on BO6 reddit with this question which might give you some pointers:
This is Activision's CoD TPM & Secure Boot page:
Trusted Platform Module (TPM) 2.0 and Secure Boot for Call of Duty
Information about enabling TPM 2.0 and Secure Boot on your PC to play Call of Duty
I spotted this today whilst updating the Intel graphics driver for my CPU;
there is an Intel folder on the C:\ drive which contains:
C:\Intel\iGfx\XeFX -- Inside that folder were 282 cod.exe folders, each containing an empty csv file "Features.csv" -- all from 2023.
A search got this result from the Blizzard forums about the Intel folder being created each time Diablo IV was run.
https://us.forums.blizzard.com/en/d4/t/ ... game/54828
It appears that CoD had the same effect.
Anyway, I've deleted the Intel folder with no adverse result.

I liked all the cod games but not 6 so much. MW I liked.
Black Ops 7 details:
Extract re: BO6 content:-
"
Black Ops 7 will feature the ability to utilize a wide variety of content from Call of Duty: Black Ops 6.
This mostly begins a few weeks after launch at the start of Season 1.
Prior to more in-depth comms on this subject, here’s what to expect:
Black Ops 6: XP Tokens and GobbleGums will carry forward at the launch of Black Ops 7.
Black Ops 6 Weapons, Operators, and Operator Skins will carry forward at the start of Season 1 with some exceptions:
All current content, including Operators, Weapons, and Weapon Blueprints from Modern Warfare® II, Modern Warfare III, and Black Ops 6 will carry forward with some caveats and exceptions:

- Equipment and Scorestreak Skins for content unavailable in Black Ops 7 will not carry forward.
- Equipment and Scorestreak Skins for content updated for Black Ops 7
(for example, a Scorestreak that performs similarly, but has a different look and feel in BO7 compared to BO6) will not carry forward. - Black Ops 6 Weapon Camos will not be transferable to Black Ops 7 weapons, but still usable on Black Ops 6 weapons.
All current content, including Operators, Weapons, and Weapon Blueprints from Modern Warfare® II, Modern Warfare III, and Black Ops 6 will carry forward with some caveats and exceptions:
- Weapons will continue to be tuned for Call of Duty: Warzone.
- Call of Duty: Warzone players should expect a Rank Reset at Season 1, with your progression synchronized to Black Ops 7’s Progression Systems.

And...maybe not:
"What’s Changing and Why
Operators, Operator Skins, and Weapons from Black Ops 6 will no longer carry forward into Black Ops 7.
Black Ops 7 needs to feel authentic to Call of Duty and its setting.
That is why Black Ops 6 Operator and Weapon content will not carry forward to Black Ops 7.
Double XP tokens and GobbleGums will still carry forward, because we recognize your time and progression are important.
This change applies only to Black Ops 7.
Call of Duty: Warzone is not affected, and all your Black Ops 6 content stays usable there."

For those who are plagued with the direct x crashing, I seem to have fixed mine.
After months of trying all the 'solutions' online, what has permanently fixed it is down clocking the gfx card in AMD adrenaline by 50mhz. Shouldn't be needed and isn't on any other game but this has solved my problem. Hopefully it will help others.

So that's why Gamepass prices went up?

Just seen a key for BO7, it states 'XBOX/PC' - is this even a thing? I've never seen it before when buying a key? It's off Loaded, formally CDKEYS.
For £55 I might bite the bullet, as I'm getting very tired of everyone being a hacker in every match I play daily on MW3
For £55 I might bite the bullet, as I'm getting very tired of everyone being a hacker in every match I play daily on MW3
Just beaten this, thoughts below:
+Massive improvement on MWIII, better storyline, more cinematic missions
+Purchasable upgrades, although a bit simplistic in nature are always nice to have
+Managed to carry on the weird psyops vibes from prior BLOPS games without going overboard, there were a couple of 'creepy' sections but thankfully used sparingly at appropriate points
+Solid performance and good graphics
+I quite like the dynamic lean mechanic when aiming down sites near cover
+Good squad based combat.
-Some really silly persuasion sections which are so much on rails that there is no challenge. Press F on the prompt shown zzzz.
-Enemies are a bit dull and predictable
-Some missions are a bit short, or when long a bit repetitive (Hunting Season).
Overall it might be my favourite BLOPS game, although it's a while since I played one.

How many hacking scumbags have you encountered online? MW3 is rife with them daily now, whatever the match
I only play hardcore matches mind, but still. Everyone is speed hacking, and not even trying to hide it.I played hardcore in MW3 a few months ago and rarely saw any hackers.How many hacking scumbags have you encountered online? MW3 is rife with them daily now, whatever the match
I play it daily and see nothing but. The speedbacks are so blatant, they literally go from one side of the map to like 20+ feet away!
I think because it's now abandonware and a seperate app, they just don't care nor enforce the reports against players - as I've been put in various matches with known hackers, that I saw when I got put on the naughtylist for a bit after wrongly being reported.
Remember when you're being investigated they'll stop you from joining the lower ping servers and put you only with other people under investigation etc? Well I recognised the usernames, and those players were speed hacking like crazy, yet still aren't banned even now.
