This tweet somehow managed to offend the fans as they believed this was a jab at them. The fans retorted with their own jabs toward the team.

✓ Start communicating
✓ Stop being arrogant and listen to fans
✓ Lessen the SBMM— Raptor-1 (@ExfilReady) January 1, 2023

I'll add a few more to your list
✔️ Add reload canceling (aka Y + Ying)
✔️ Add, the proper, Hardcore mode
✔️ Revamp the perk system
✔️ Revamp the UI
✔️ Nerf flash bangs
✔️ Stop making unnecessary/wanted/warrented changes to the franchise— Rage (@xGod_of_Ragex) January 1, 2023
✓ Never listen to feedback
✓ be arogant and ignore fanbase
✓ make the game as slow as possible
✓ decrease the skill gap as much as possible— Misiael (@Misiael8) January 1, 2023
I have some better resolutions for you. Fix your game. Stop listening to streamers and listen to the community. Get rid of SBMM in MP. Give us ranked play in both MP and WZ. Oh and give us the things you promised and we paid for. Happy new year.
