"[Call of Duty] isn't a perfect series, but some of my weekends are frequently lost to the multiplayer, and the single-player occasionally threatens to be exciting. So maybe it wasn’t a shock when I found myself legitimately excited for the latest installment. Thankfully, that excitement wasn’t misplaced. Between the multiplayer, the campaign, and the Zombies mode, everything about Call of Duty: Black Ops II is solid, culminating in a whole that is very much worth it…even if the experience feels a little iterative at times."

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.
wow this trash gets a perfect score, but original games like zombiu get inexcusable low scores.

The trolling on COD articles is ridiculous, if you don't like COD, then STOP GOING ON COD ARTICLES, you people are worse than the game you talk crap about. (this is coming from a dude who's never bought a COD game in his life)
Sorry...but Blops2 is refined to near perfection for what it delivers. And it delivers three seperate games! Add the multitude of playlists that adds plenty of different modes.
It's pretty feature rich and works. Glitches are minimal. But that's why I think it's not perfect. Just very good.
COD does exactly what it's supposed to do , the multiplayer is so addictive it could possibly be illegal . I just wish it would satop making my machine freeze :(
