TPV: "Call of Duty is a series which for the past few years has been increasingly slated for countless reasons and had seen more and more people move away from the series. The biggest slate is perhaps the lack of any real progression in the series and the very few changes made to the formulae being thrown back into the face of IW by the community."
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

Top 5 Most Anticipated Games of Fall 2019 - Fall 2019 promises to be a stellar time in gaming with some of the best games being released in the year.
a campaign that isn't beatable in 5 hours
I'll be honest I liked MW3s campaign for its really brief roller coaster ride, but its way too damn short
How about a Call of Duty game that doesn't fall in line with its predecessors. It's been a downward spiral since MW2. Instead of recycling old shit, put some new innovations (no, I'm not talking new perks here, I mean INNOVATIONS) into this damn franchise before it becomes more of a laughing stock than it already is.
I don't care how many new perks, hybrid scopes, or multiplayer game modes you can pack into MW3, the game is still broken, as the franchise has been for quite some time now.
Perhaps the best thing that could happen in the next Call of Duty is for another, more well-constructed and attention-worthy FPS game to be released at the same time.
Call of duty used to be nearly like battlefield series. Vehicles and all minus the airplanes.
None of that is going to happen. Remember what happened to Guitar Hero? Yeah. That's what's going to happen.
True. The story being over 5 hours would be good. I think Activision must have something prepared for when another flagship series goes down the pots again. Maybe they are trying to get as much money as they can from the series before they revive it. Who knows?
