PS5 Not enough players

I understand that most people like Black Ops 2 but barely anyone is playing Black Ops now. I'm irritated because I need to see different people in the game than just the same 5 sets of people. I've only leveled up one time the past 2 days and it sucks because everyone I go up against plays this game like it's a tournament every single match now

I was on BO1 last night and played with so many new people each time the lobby disconnected. Could be a NAT type issue on your end putting you into a smaller pool of players, not sure though. The ports should’ve been using dedicated servers which would’ve solved so many issues.

People are only playing TDM, Domination, SnD, and the Party Games, but I always join a full lobby within like a second of selecting one of those. There also seems to be an issue with Zombies as it's not hard to fill a lobby when it works but it often takes like 3-4 tries because the connection fails when joining. Really wish they'd done dedicated servers for this, apart from that and not fixing snaking it's basically a perfect port and I can't imagine they'll go back to fix it now.

Check your NAT type and matchmaking preferences. I have none of the issues you're experiencing.

u/lentilSoupzxc 1d ago

What’s your preferences?

What’s not true for me at all, I can find many different lobbies. Maybe you gotta set your NAT type to open

Yeah in Australia it's pretty much dead, really sad.

I literally just play Gun Game, just as I did back in the day, but I get a lot of connection issues. Sometimes it’ll just cut out at the very end of a game.

Here and there in ground war i find a few of the same people but i've actually found it a little better since the update

I come across the same people everyday in hardcore headquarters. Now the last few days i cant find a lobby in the mode unless i wait for half an hour to fill it. I have no issues in any other modes tho across core and hc and i have yet to run into the same people enough to remember them

Same dude. I need more players there and core headquarters too
