GTA 5 and Red Dead Redemption 2 leap up due to summer sales
Wow, good games never get old I guess.
CoD will always be a beast of a franchise, and how awesome is it that you can just boot it up or pop it into your Xbox and play, MS BC is really a neat feature.
Many players on social media are now reporting unannounced matchmaking fixes have been put in place by Activision ranging from Call of Duty 3 to Modern Warfare 2 to Black Ops 2, on Xbox 360. Players are reporting that player counts are updating, lobbies forming, and matchmaking times have been reduced. Neither Activision nor Microsoft have commented on the matter when reached out to at this time. This is currently impacting both 360 and BC versions of the games. PS3 is not affected at this time.

Multiple users coming forward saying the games are finally working again after years of server issues. Note that not all issues such as player counts are totally fixed at this time however matchmaking is fully working again. With legacy Call of Duty games releasing on Game Pass within the next 2 years, it does make sense for these servers to eventually be corrected. Good to see the preservation of these legendary games. Hopefully PS3 receives the same treatment for these legacy titles!

Imagine that.
Conspiracy theory: MS have been planning on purchasing ABK for a long time. They let Sony outbid them for having console-exclusive CoD stuff/being first for certain dlc so the PlayStation player base would increase.
Years later, MS buy ABK, with plans to make CoD either exclusive/platform exclusive features etc with the release of a new console (Xbox Series X2?) So the established CoD player base migrates over to their platform, taking a huge percentage off Sony?
Wild theory
Game Rant Writes "Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 has been available for 10 years, and in that time, no other entry has topped its weapon balance and variety."
Although Black Ops 2 is one of the more loved entries in the series, there seemed to be an overall lack of recoil when I played back in the day, which made the guns feel toy-like. The overall art style didnt really sit well with me at the time either. A bit too cartoony. I think zombies could have been cool, but on the PS3, playing splitscreen made the frame rate drop to unplayable levels.
What a messed up article, comparing COD to diabetes? WTF!? Some valid points though about how it is heaps good franchise!!!
Coincidence that they have Black Ops 2 ad on there site!?!?
I've said this before and I'm going to say it again and again! The COD Series suck ass and everything else it can get it's mouth around!
Not going to give this site hits.
Seriously though, is this just a troll article?
Please. I have no problem with people playing the game but please stop calling it the best franchise ever. just because people cling to something and refuse to let go no matter how mediocre or tedious it gets doesn't make it the best franchise ever.I know a ton of games that are better then COD in many ways. Just because a ton of people rush to do or see something doesn't make it the greatest anything. Transformers,Twilight, Dragonball Z and Naruto are very good example. All of them suck so much and yet people flock to them. Does that make them the best? No.Was Transformers the greatest. No.I know plenty of movies better then it, ten times better then it.
Was Brave the greatest movie Pixar made? No.And yet it will still get nominated and win awards and people will run to see it. It just means that people cling to it and won't let it go. The millions of Twilight fans may say it is the greatest movies they have ever seen but to everyone else it is a waste of space. Try to tell any Naruto fan that there are better mangas then it and they will eat your head off. Does that make it the best? No.It just has enough people to say it's the best and to shout down anyone who says otherwise. That is why they keep making crappy Twilight movies. Because they have enough clingy fans to keep it going. But does that make it the best movie ever? No it doesn't.
