It is unknown when Xbox's server issues will be resolved. Call of Duty's Xbox servers can only reopen once the situation is fixed. Based on @XboxSupport's 4:08 P.M. update, it seems that troubleshooting may take several hours.

As of now, players cannot login to Xbox on console. Players also cannot login to Xbox Live on Microsoft and PC platforms. Unsurprisingly, this means players will be unable to connect to Call of Duty.
