Ahead of the unveiling of Call of Duty 2019, let's take a look back over series stalwart Infinity Ward's Call of Duty history.
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
Over 500,000 Activision accounts have reportedly been targeted in a major data breach on September 20th, leaving Call of Duty players at risk of losing all their progress.
And unfortunately we were forced to make an account to play the CoD: Cold War Alpha.
I had to unlink my xbox live account from Activision Battlenet because they are asking to do it. I hate activision game now a day and activision aswell, without saying that a hacker hacked my xboxlive profile data from playing Cod Bo2 and got no support from their activision website. Now I lost like 1 hour of my life just because my xboxlive account was linked to it. Activision are pathetic.

had this issue, adding my friends through Activision network resolved the issue though.
I loved the campaigns in Modern Warfare trilogy. I wish we had something else as compelling in the next CoD
