This morning my account was banned, and never thought I would get it back. Now I am playing outbreak right now. Thank you everyone that spread the word
@@TrollWithKnives Awesome! Glad to hear. So so frustrating that Fox kept saying "they're all legit!!" when clearly that just couldn't be the truth. What a shit look for them.
I personally wasn’t affected by this, but to anyone and everyone who helped raised awareness for this issue: thank you! I’m sure those who were genuinely affected are incredibly grateful, and I’m so happy you lot were able to stand up for them! Fingers crossed everyone hit by this will be unbanned quickly if they haven’t already been!
I was banned for a day later it lifted I might wait a while before I go on because of I'm genuinely scared that it might get banned again for no reason.
I was unbanned finally after 2 weeks. I never stopped pushing the issue. And glad everyone stood up for us innocent players. I played after getting unbanned and got the sail 630 nuclear error and did not get banned again. Im pretty happy but still mad this even happened in the 1st place
@@yoinkintonic5771 Same, do you know someone got unbanned by now? Maybe they are still unbanning people, honestly I have no hope anymore but idk maybe they actually do something
He posted a video trying to justify activision’s actions and bad response. He’s simply sugar coating their so obvious and bullshit bad response. Now when they reverted on their words he releases this video...
My husband got unbanned yesterday. After 2 weeks arguing with Activision customer support, it's so nice to know that we were listened to. But at the same time it's shown that all bans aren't individually reviewed as they stated!
I mean, he recommended we played the game while the bug was in full effect based solely on Activision's assurance that the bug was not in effect and flat denial that there was a problem...
Thank you soo much Milo, my account was mine and my brothers account that we shared for years and years and he recently died of leukaemia and this account was the only thing I had left as we both loved watching ur vids so I can’t express how truly great full I am of u spreading the message One again Milo, Thank you (My account was unbanned today )
Thank you so much for spreading the word on this. My account was banned last week and I contacted a news reporter about this issue. He contact me today saying he had heard people were unbanned, and after checking a few minutes ago, I can confirm I am no longer banned. I still am incredibly disappointed in how this went. I was called a hacker, a cheater, and a liar by both community members and by the community managers. I had my messages removed from the subreddit. I was ignored by activision support. And now, they don't even have the balls to update us directly on twitter or facebook, or even a direct post on the reddit. Instead they just sneak in a comment hoping no one would notice. I really still don't feel confident about playing the game and I'm honestly not sure that this would have been fixed if not for the outrage, the complaints to the BBB and FTC, and by the possibility of news coverage.
@sabage cabage123 How can I proof that I'm legit though? I would have to record my gameplay all the time, my stats aren't sus (imo) and there is no way to contact activion (it feels like that) Also, from all the people who got unbanned, how many of them actually proofed they didn't cheat? Probably none, or am I actually wrong with that?
never thought i would see the day where my account would get banned and never thought i would ever see it get unbanned i want to thank you so much for bringing this to attention and youre probably the reason why the unbans happened ❤️❤️
I had this playing in the background and I heard him say my reddit username and I was so confused. I made the post with u/Football_Inc so it was a surprise to hear my username.
As soon as I finished watching this video. I opened my laptop to check my account. Lo and behold, I had been unbanned. The amazing work the zombies community has done to counter this is amazing and thank you milo as well for bringing this to their attention even more so. Happy now to get back to my zombies 😁
Milo, you are so incredibly skilled at what you do. Fielding concerns from the playerbase; consulting with game devs and Activision; making things as clear as possible to your viewers; and making suggestions that attempt to benefit everyone involved; all of these take so much care and charisma and nuance that it would be so so easy to screw up. But you walk that tightrope again and again and set such a great example for players, content creators, and game devs alike. Thanks for everything you do man, you should really be proud of what you've accomplished.
my Cold war account was hacked recently and after I got the account back I realized that it was banned, what did Activision support do? Absolutely NOTHING, they always repeat and repeat, "We can't unban you".
I 100% agree with the idea that we should be told if we are breaking a rule of some kind. Like he said it doesn’t have to be some big thing but like for example if it was bypassing a door then we should get a message that says hey don’t do that anymore or you are gonna get banned. I was so stressed out that my account was gonna be suddenly banned, made me not wanna play.
People: _gut unjustly banned and subsequently get upset and ask for unbans_ Activision: all bans are just an final. *backlash and unrest in the community ensues* Activision: _shadow unbans all affected and acts like nothing happened_
Ok, so lemme get this straight.... the developers wrongfully ban people in zombies, which isn’t competitive and doesn’t effect others, and no appeals?? Like seriously.
Just want to say thank you for taking the time to talk about this. I personally am waiting to play Cod at all until things settle down with the bans and more information come available. As always keep up the great work and thank you for that great work!
First of all, thank you, Milo. You helped a LOT of people by bringing more awareness to this and actively working on trying to understand it. Also, Activision NEEDS to be more Transparent/“Open Minded”.. Like you said, they can’t talk much about how they detect stuff, but there’s absolutely NO reason why they couldn’t at LEAST say “We hear you, and are looking into this issue”, instead of denying it, and doing an 180. Once again, Thank you Milo!
Thank you for spreading the message properly about this issue, today I was unbanned and I went straight back to zombies with the boys and we had a blast, thank you for being such an important figure during the time of this "event" keep smashing out content and keeping all of us entertained throughout these times!
The statement was pretty bad. Basically telling us all who knew we were innocent that we were liars. Now they silently go back on their word and I'm unbanned when I should have never been banned in the first place? Proceed with caution zombies players.
@@demoniakal8887 well at least they realize their mistake and corrected it. Cuz lemme tell you, I’ve played games in the past where devs didn’t give two fucks so I’ll take this anyday lmao.
How you put together content this quickly i do not know, but one thing i do know is that this news deserves a like Edit: now we know they are looking at the situation. makes me feel much safer to play. Edit 2: if it happens again it will 100% shake my faith and make me too anxious to play. Tough situation, transparency and honesty goes a long way though where possible.
Hey Milo, I just got my friends back together to play some BO2 Buried just like back in the day and I used your video to do the Easter egg. That brought back so many memories and I couldn't believe that, that video is 7 YEARS OLD!!! Thanks so much for being a part of my childhood and for all of the memories that you've given me you're the best!!!
Funny thing is I was banned from modern warfare for having cheat engine open to modify some terraria memory (yes I have cod modding history) but never once touched mw with it they look at all running programs it's dumb they need to do integrity checks instead of flagging innocent programmers or modding hobbyists
I absolutely DO NOT want to let this one go. Specifically the part where they double down on things that are *very clearly* wrong and whether they intend to or not, it seems like they're just trying to dismiss us until we're *too scared to play their game* and it hurts their sales so they HAVE to fix it. This is the second time (that I can remember) that they have done this, the other being the 2xp problem early on where they doubled down that things were operating as intended, but this time they even said that every ban was reviewed by a human which clearly isn't true and puts off that "dismissal" vibe I was talking about earlier. If there was a spill at my workplace and a customer pointed it out to me and I said "no sir, there isn't a spill, that's there on purpose" and then people got hurt because of it *I would be fired.* I'm not saying someone should be fired over this, but letting things like this go unpunished just means we'll see this happen again in 3 months.
Thank you very much, I feel safe now that I spread the message to those who needed help. Those who ate still ban be patient, I understand what is happening im hoping to move on from this...
Activision has previously doubled down on stances that are nothing more than lies. They had stated there were no breaches in accounts while thousands were being stolen (including mine) around last September/October, and then promoted 2 factor authentication.
I am so happy to be able playing zombies again!!! Thank you so much milo!! I love our community and I am proud of activision that they were brave enough to commit their mistake
I haven’t played on my pc ever since hearing about this. Thank you, Milo. It absolutely means the world that you’ve been keeping an eye and updating us. I’m still not exactly sure if I should play or not. I’m going to take a few more days off of it to see what happens. Thank you.
When I originally heard about this ban I was scared playing and getting into high rounds in firebase Z because I didn’t want to be one of the ppl wrongfully banned. Glad the whole banning situation has been looked at further and I can feel somewhat at peace and play again. Thanks for sharing
I got banned for joining a modded lobby a super long time ago which sucked, super super happy to see all these people get unbanned though, great work milo and everyone!!
Yeah? My account had an error code that prevented me from playing and I checked every day and the other day I went to see if it was fixed... BOOM! I've been banned... and I've spent hundreds on the game
Things that will get you banned in zombies: - Skipping gate in Firebase Z in spawn - Intentionally glitching through maps - God mode (You are pathetic if you do this) - Immune on top of jug - Hacking - Lag manipulation - Weapon and camo modifications (i.e. hacking in camos)
This man is the Gibraltar we needed the hope we all wanted and thank god this man risked his life to help us dealing with treyarc that is the epitome of satan. This didn’t matter to this man he stabbed satan straight in the heart and made them do their jobs the correct way. When a cop pulls him over, the cop reads his rights to himself and handcuff himself. The man we don’t deserve but thankful for him being here. 🙏🙏🙏 love you bro keep up the work
Hello MrRofelWaffels and the rest of the comment readers, I didn’t understand the start of this video but is it a possibility for me to get banned when reaching around 55? ( have not been on last 2 weeks same goes for RU-vid) 🙈
This doesn’t make sense because in previous zombie games like bo2 and 3 people would upload videos of them using mods in their games and nothing happened then but now it’s such a big deal.
You're too kind mylo. I wouldn't say it like that this unintentional ban all they had to do was say we are aware and working on it. We appoligize...... end of story everyone's happy. Lieing is always a bad idea it leaves a sour taste
I launched this game once and played MP for like an hour (last night). I've been too afraid to play it and I finally am feeling like I can launch zombies
I got unbanned and I'm so happy to be back playing. Also glad we actually kept all our stuff /progress. And we got to take advantage of the 3x2xp 👍 It's a good day 😊
It makes no sense whatsoever to ban someone for any reason on zombies... zombies is not a player vs player game, it doesnt matter if you cheat or mod or whatever it is that you can do in That game mode... i understand the bans on multiplayer, thats because its player vs player and you have to keep things fair in that type of game play.. but for zombies??? Makes no sense at all to ban zombies players... theres no logic to banning zombies players period. P.s. if this is what things have come to, then i just wont spend another penny on Any Activision game. Eff them for their power trip.
I personally think that we can't let this go and forgive Activision they banned innocent players and said that they were all legitimate and said this for multiple days until saying they made a whopsie and accused innocent players of cheating
A friend of mine had been recently been banned and with the recent update his ban hadn’t been lifted, the funny thing was when he had been banned he hadn’t played the game in almost a month. He is also a new player so I still don’t believe activision is being truthful about this situation
Both my accounts are still banned from this. Thanks Activision. My original account was level 600 and after that got banned I made a new one and in 2 days time after I just hit prestige 2 it got banned too.
"Your internet is trash, so we're gonna ban you from our game." That's how I saw this, especially when they were like 'yeah that's a disconnect message, not related' like... c'mon guys.
Yeah I’m literally not even playing zombies right now. I’m to worried about getting banned for no reason. And I LOVE playing zombies so this is a real bummer
I haven't even played the game for a few weeks now and all this happened. Im just baffled by how this has happened, the simple fact that this made a lot of players paranoid to play zombies to me demonstrates bad communication on Activisions part. Their responses and updates, no matter how reassuring still do not clear up the issue fully. Its at least a step in the right direction.
I still Don't understand why players should be banned because of an exploit, I get that its wrong but if it's in the code then it's technically legal. We didn't write the code, we shouldn't be punished for their mistakes
I was fighting a Megaton on Outbreak and as I was running away to recover damage, I jumped over a wall and accidentally clipped thru the floor. I couldn't even tell because of the position I was in but I could only move left or right. The Megaton then stopped in front of me so I thought I was stuck in a weird corner. But then I noticed he couldn't see me and I could barely damage him. Eventually I killed him but was still stuck. Took me like 5 minutes to realize the layer of floor right above me never loaded in so I had to jump and mantle over to escape. Now imagine if I would've gotten banned. I would've quite this series entirely. It's barely playable anyways as it lost all its charm and heart.
This is actually messed up. We're seriously at the point where some people are too scared to play because they will ban you for literally playing the game. Like, wtf activision?
So they can ban people playing zombies soo easily for nothing and then you go on warzone and there is a hacker in nearly every lobby streaming aswell and nothing gets done. What a joke of a company.
I continued to play high rounds 70+ on pc and didn't get banned but was scared shirtless. I recorded every game with task manager open and even went through my files before opening cold war just to show I wasn't cheating. Glad they owned up to it. Thanks man
I am still banned, i'm not sure when all lifts will be completed, and actually nervous, I already had 240+ hours in game with dark aether and prestige master both seasons, with both season zombies challenges boards completed, combined with buying this games ultimate edition for two friends including myself, me personally buying $100+ in cod points for store items, and gifted items for friends through cod point purchases, I am very nervous, and the longer my account stays banned, even throughout the lifts, and after they have all been completed, I will consistently become more steamed, and am ready to throw call of duty, a game ive been playing since call of duty 3, out the window forever. It is also very sad that i would have to do this, but with my personal values, this is just like Activisions ban policy, Absolutely Not Acceptable
