VG Republic Writes: Ghosts, that is what the newest Call of Duty will be known as and is made by famed developer Infinity Ward, instead of the traditional Modern Warfare series that has become a fan favorite. Each and every year the Call of Duty game that is released finds a way to top and becomes the best selling game of all time within its lifespan, but the clear favorite is that of the Modern Warfare series that has enjoyed the fast-selling games of all time in the past two iterations. Switching the formula when you have been making the same thing for three years running, and the way that the last title ended in its single player campaign (Who cares about that, I know, right?), seems like a likely scenario. Is this simply a smoke screen for what is to come for the next generation, as it is possible that Modern Warfare 4 could still be in the plans afterall.
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
