GotGame: We chatted with Yale Miller, Producer at Activision, and we asked him all about the Wii U version of Black Ops 2. We asked him if there’s any difference between the Wii U and Xbox, PS3 and PC versions. He also tells us how the Wii U Gamepad comes into play.
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.
Like I said...we played Black Ops 2 on the Wii U last week. No direct feed or off-screen gameplay recording was allowed though.
i wish they (acti reps) would stop saying "full hd"
that means 1080p
and if its just garbage upscaled 1080p, thats not full hd
is it native 1080p, if not, don't say it
ask the right questions, does the wii u version of blops 2 look even half as good as the pc version?
-no
does it at least look twice as good as the horribly sub-hd 1024x600 ps3/360 versions?
-yes
does it support anti aliasing that works unlike the jaggie infested ps3/360 version?
--yes
who cares about a mini map on a touch screen, we want to know if it sh!ts on the ps3/360 like a console coming out 8 FREAKING YEARS after the last gen ps3/360 craps all over them visually and performance wise!
So upscaled to 1080p, nice faking going on there...
I still remember my COD experience on the Wii, pure horror. Game got me nightmares and it was not because of the great realistic gameplay and blood everywhere. Sad game was sad on Wii.
COD turned sad after COD4 anyways, but that is a different story. Anyways, never a shooter on a Wii or WiiUpgrade anymore for several reasons. A first: the controller. Wiimote is inaccurate, WiiU bulky tablet controller is not as nice to use as a 360 or PS3 controller, which is a lot more comfortable and ergonomic than such a big brick. Its dumb to think that the 2nd screen is great in a FPS, looking away from the screen in a fast paced FPS for some other tasks on the 2nd screen? Lol
WiiU - Rated U for Upgrade
I can't believe this guy just said "full HD" again. Is this a new definition of the word "full" where it means "not full"?
Cant wait for this game!
