Call of Duty players on Steam are reporting serious netcode issues that affect gameplay fairness. Many describe enemies sliding out from corners and killing instantly, while killcam footage shows those enemies moving slowly and aiming beforehand. Complaints also include hit registration failures and deaths occurring behind cover, leading to widespread frustration. These problems have sparked comparisons to other shooters like Battlefield 6, with players calling the netcode among the worst they have experienced. The issues are currently impacting player experience and competitive balance as of late October 2026.
