Cheat Code Central's Josh Wirtanen writes: "Not too long ago, I wrote a nice little article about what exactly it is that makes Call of Duty so addictive. While I was satisfied with myself for being so scientific and well-spoken about my approach to discussing the topic, I must admit that there’s a caveat that I failed to mention: Women, for the most part, are immune to its psychological manipulation."
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.
It because, like my friend's girlfriend told him, 'It just running from one room or location to another shooting people'. They see the game for the simplicity it is. That is all they see it as. They don't care how real the explosions are or how real the blood or trees look. They see the game for what it really is. A mindless, violent romp from on point to another.I have sisters and they prefer something more then that. For many guys that is all they need but they don't see it that way.
Before looking at the article: their boyfriends/husbands ignore them for the next prestige. X)
It's not just women that hate Lag of Duty.. Anyone that enjoys an actual military FPS with good connection, map design and hate people "camping for killstreaks" hates Lag of Duty as well... Man or woman...
Idk what kind of girls you guys are dealing with but even the prissy girly girls ive dealt with i made into gamers and they love COD and Uncharted. The only thing they might argue about from time to time is that i spend more time gaming then on them lol
According to one female comment, it seems that COD gets straight to the point. And she like her games all (pointlessly) convoluted.
