The newest Call of Duty (most likely Modern Warfare 4) has potential to bring the franchise back to its roots through the return of fan favorite features like single-player and Spec Ops and the elimination of a battle royale mode.
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

They say this every year for each new cod lol. This whole console generation til now and all just lackluster. They seriously should just have all the cod teams work on a single cod with at least a 3 year gap between each game. But no...money.
It’s never been irrelevant, for all the people they lose every year there’s a whole new legion of preteens waiting for their dumbass parents to ignore the label in Oct/Nov...
Yea the yearly releases made me tired of the franchise. I bought all up to ghost. Then stopped till BO3 came out, and haven't purchased another COD game again. Since I gave myself a break from the franchise, if MW4 looks good I will give it a go. I was a huge fan of MW1 thru MW3.
