Call of Duty HQ recently encountered a widespread server disruption, leaving players of popular titles like Black Ops 6, Warzone, and Modern Warfare 3 unable to access online services for approximately half an hour. The development team quickly addressed the issue, restoring connectivity, though the incident left many fans frustrated during the unexpected downtime.

While server outages of this magnitude are uncommon, they highlight ongoing player frustrations with the Call of Duty HQ application. Since its introduction with 2019's Modern Warfare, Activision has consolidated all new Call of Duty releases under this single platform. This includes the rebooted trilogy, recent Black Ops installments, and the free-to-play Warzone. Players have frequently criticized the app for its cumbersome interface and excessive storage demands, and this latest outage only adds to their grievances.

The outage occurred on June 24 (or June 25, depending on timezone), affecting not just HQ-based titles but also older games like Black Ops 4 and Warzone Mobile. The cause remains unclear—whether it was a technical glitch or a potential cyber attack. The inclusion of Black Ops 4, a seven-year-old title, in the outage has particularly puzzled the community.

Fans are now concerned about potential delays to the anticipated Season 4 Reloaded update, rumored to launch soon. Activision recently teased a Call of Duty x Beavis and Butt-Head crossover, adding to the excitement surrounding the update.
