WC writes: With Black Ops 2 finally hitting our shelves yesterday, we’re all working our way through what it has to offer and giving our opinions; critical consensus is, as can be expected, mostly positive, even if Activison will no doubt be mincing over how its Metacritic score is a whole 3 points below Modern Warfare 3′s. Someone’s going to lose their bonus over that one…
And while the game is a lot of fun, and arguably the best, most innovative game of the lot, it’s time to see what can be improved for the inevitable Modern Warfare 4, which one can assume Infinity Ward are already hard at work on. Here’s 10 things we demand for the next game.
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?
