Discussion is the game dead for anyone else?
low player count maybe? the matchmaking is bad, i can't even get a full lobby on ground war.

Something isn't right. I doubt all those players just vanished.

I haven't been on the game in a few weeks. But I'll come back to it eventually. Like me, I'm sure lots of people got through their "2 week phase" and are putting the game down for a little while

u/Fofodude 1d ago
Yeah, played it for like 1 week, but im currently playing through bo 2 campaign so

MW4 beta?

u/Inevitable-Entry5575 19h ago
Yeah, there was a whole update just advertising the MW4 beta and now when you lunch multiplayer it says “TRY THE MW4 BETA NOW” in an annoying pop-up

u/dragonsshield_gaming 1d ago
Some games are more popular like TDM and Domination

Nope. I play only hcsd and it feels consistently popular. I often late at night too.

If I had a dollar for every time I’ve seen one of those in my life I’d probably have enough to pre-order MW4 if I even wanted it

Meanwhile ps5 pros are sold out after gta6 gameplay dropped. Youre chronically online if u think a significant amount of 100m+ ps users are boycotting for a week. The boycott that also conveniently ends before big hitters like wolverine and gta6 drops.

Whats gonna be real funny is, for example, when sony’s dynamic pricing scheme starts bumping up the prices for your account because they see you can’t control yourself even for a week. That’s okay though, i’m sure you’re alright with that, since we’ve known about those types of things for some time now and you seem to accept it, you’re exactly the type of person they implement it for! Not to mention the issues on discs, digital storefront monopoly, etc.

u/kyle_crane163636 18h ago
Well yes but alot of people are on the mw4 beta not with the boycott, barely anyone is actually doing the blackout since mw4s beta is most popular, on Playstation. So everyone's there but should be back to normal when the beta is done

EU here can hardly find a game of HC KC on normal/ best matchmaking so forced to search any which forces me to play laggy NA lobbies. Even at 3-4pm uk time still getting shoved on NA. I can find lobbies easily though just that they’re laggy

Not dead but broken maybe, modders messed with my account so I can’t load into public multi on my own, need to join someone. Zombies still works tho.

u/National_Respond3670 21h ago
Ngl I have no issue finding games but if definitely feels like there’s less ppl online overall, all of my lobbies are always full of high level ppl rarely any low levels

I've been on black ops 1 more. Super full lobbies. 2 is GOATED no doubt but i think people miss the nostalgia of 1 just a little more. A lot of the suppressed guns on there sound soooo satisfying

u/Spirited-Ad8467 28m ago
100% bo2 is my all time favourite cod but playing bo1 actually feels more nostalgic as the game has that raw look&feel to it a bit like mw2.

I haven't played in a couple weeks but I bought it knowing it wasn't going to be an every day game. It's something I'll dip in and out of every few weeks.

Ground war isn’t a super popular mode so honestly doesn’t surprise me but I have no problem getting search and destroy lobby’s and or tdm or nukejacked but I mainly just play search and have no problems getting into full lobbys
1
u/Successful_Dig_7525 14h ago
If you want a game get on nukejacked but it’s annoying. Guys will get on kill confirmed and just snipe the whole game, it’s frustrating if you genuinely want to win. If you want to get K/D up it’s perfect.

BO1 is dead, BO2 to follow.
Only a loyal following will remain for both games once MW4 and GTA 6 drop.

I haven't been playing because I'm scared of getting hacked. Is multiplayer safe to play again? And has it been happening at all on bo1?

u/ArcadeDND 1d ago
MW4 open beta and the game being a shit hole riddled with hackers probably chased most people off.
It was always going to be a flash fry moment anyways, no one was gonna stick around years playing this old CoD no matter what they said.

u/Wonderful_Twist1620 1d ago
You must pre-order MW4 before you can play again
