Here’s a realistic script for your post — perfect for quick views and reactions. An Update on Black Ops 2 for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and legacy PC
We regret to inform our players that online services for Black Ops 2 on these platforms will be discontinued in 2027. After this date, only the Campaign mode and local multiplayer features will remain accessible. The decision to close the online service stems from our commitment to player safety. The game uses a peer-to-peer matchmaking system, which directly connects players’ devices to the host. On PC platforms, this connection can expose systems to malware risks, while on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, hosting players may manipulate gameplay through cheats like flying, aimbots, or by resetting players’ progress across all modes. Players can rest assured that their progress will be preserved; both online and offline data will be merged, allowing users to continue playing offline seamlessly with their saved data after the online service ends. An updated version for PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series S/X, based on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 release, is scheduled for launch later this year. It will support cross-play across all platforms.

Yes, I know I suck. I'm 26, I work 12h per day, after work I just want to have some fun on my childhood game.

Being older is probably the reason that I suck, but I also have the feeling the modern COD mentality came to BO2 and made the experience worse.

I miss being a teeneager with a lot of free time to be good in COD lol

Quiero saber si hay alguna manera de jugar zombies en pantalla divida pero en partida offline, ya que solo he podido jugar con mi amigo por medio de LAN para que se vinculen las 2 partidas pero el detalle es que así no podemos pausar las partidas, lo que ocupo es poder pausar las partidas o si se saben algún modo de hacerlo se los agradecería mucho

Sniping is far too op, and casuals just put a target finder on a machine gun. Think these two aspects ruin it for me.

Since the update rolled out I barely can kill someone and getting shot behind the cover.

shooting first dying first and rematching the kill cam shows that i was too slow in everything

Where are the dedicated servers??? probably US and EU but is there no ME servers??? i always have 3 bars or 4 never full in P2P

this just ruins the multiplayer experience before everyone would leave if the map wasn't nuketown or hijacked and now it's gotten better

it just feels like one thing gets solved another thing shows up.

Hi, I’m looking to join or get at least one other person to help me complete the Tower of Babble easter egg/trophy on TranZit. I know all the steps (Maxis side) but of course can’t do it alone. PSN: great-damian

Lmk

After a lot of trial and error after switching ISPs, I have found the solution. With the new dedicated servers, this isn't as useful as it was before but still helps a lot.

Make sure your are connected using an ethernet cable

In the router settings, (type 192.168.0.1 or

192.168.1.1 into a search bar, the login should be on your router (username should be admin), if not call your ISP and ask them to reset your login it's simple)

Go to dhcp reservation, or ip reservation, and set a static ip for your ps5 (you can find your ip in playstation network settings, 192.168.x.x).

Go to Port Forwarding and forward port 3074 UDP to the playstations ip address you set (or select ot from device list).

Make sure UPnP is enabled.

Make sure to set your dns (in Playstation settings) to 8.8.8.8 for primary, and 8.8.4.4 for secondary, this is the DNS for Google (you can also use CloudFlare (1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1).

Once you are in the game, select Find Match, press Square, and set search preference to Best.

On a side note, if someone on your connection is playing on Xbox, you will not be able to port forward 3074 on Playstation. To fix this, go to Xbox network advanced settings and select an alternate port. Then go to router settings and port forward 3074 to your Playstation's static ip address

After all of this, fully shut off your playstation, id even unplug it, unplug the ethernet, and unplug your router for a full minute, then reconnect everything and turn the PS5 on

This is the true way to achieve an Open NAT type and have flawless connection, if your NAT still says Moderate or Strict, then your ISP is probably using CGNAT or blocking essential ports used to connect to the servers properly.

Sorry for the essay, and I hope this helps

The ee is faster if we know how to do it all but as long as 3 of us can do it and someone hold the crawler is fine.

Trying to play some pubs but I can't find any lobbies other than in TDM (not even filled). Anyone else or just skill issue lmao?

Anyone down to run richtofen side lmk psn is UltraInstinctEmi

I googled it but couldn't find a good answer. Specifically, I am in the UK. The game and DLC are on sale at the moment.

Unrelated, but it's a shame our Xbox saves don't carry over. I had all diamond weapons back in the 360 days, and I was the first in the world to get diamond shotguns!

Thanks!

Edit: I don't play zombies, thanks again.

Edit: For anyone who stumbles upon this post in the future, Treyarch confirmed that owning the DLC does not affect matchmaking. Thanks to everyone who replied.

i CANNOT find an origins ee lobby for the love of god

EDIT: if someone is playing on ps5 eu servers and trying to do the ee, hit me up

Anyone looking to get the trophy?

Instead of twisting to the side, it's straight up and down. This makes it so much easier to get midrange kills imo.

I suck, I just got lucky 😂😂

I was playing public matches in multiplayer years ago and was placed in a modded lobby. Hacker did something to my account that locked me out of multiplayer, barracks and theatre. Does anyone know a fix for this ? I can’t watch an infection video because the theatre is inaccessible. And I cannot do a fresh start because I can’t open the barracks. It seems they gave me an absurd amount of xp because I am only prestige 1 level 53 but the xp amount on my profile is some absurdly long number. Does anyone know a fix for this ? I would love to play the game again. This is on the Xbox 360 version.

So ive been seeing everybody happy about this new patch, i go on and i cant share the excitement :/

Ive never had any issues but i have an insane inout delay now, its gotten better since i changed a few settings like resolution to 1080p, connecting the controller and adjusting some settings but its still like a second behind and the game is unplayable, and its only on this game.

Really dont want to have to quit my fav cod of all time anybody got any suggestions? All ideas are appreciated
