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

had this issue, adding my friends through Activision network resolved the issue though.

Everyone doesn't know if this upcoming COD game will be "Modern Warfare 4". For all I know, this new CoD installment can be set in space in an orbiting moon from Mars.
Ugh I don't even care about Call of Duty anymore. Call of Duty 2 and Call of Duty 4 were my favorite games of the series. It has been disappointing to see this franchise take a dive from a quality standpoint.
That almost has a little battlefield look to it, maybe BF$ and MW4 hook up and create one epic game and it all explodes in day one DLC / season passes / micro-transactions.
Well, it's not like a new COD will be a surprise. I can even tell you'll run and shoot other people, will have a so-so MP, will be accesible to all gamers, will sell tons, and will be hated anyway.
We're not missing or teasing something new here. It's just another COD, real or fake.
It still surprises me people are pathetic enough to make fake sites for Call of Duty anymore.
