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.
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!
I can confirm the Call of Duty 2 through Black Ops 2 are fully working now and matchmaking is very fast. Player counts are still messed up on MW2 but all other games work perfectly fine. BO1/2 community theater has been disabled so hackers are pretty rare now as infections cannot be distributed. I have not run into any modders on MW2 or BO1 yet. Good bit of people on WaW and MW3 as well. Call of Duty 3 is also back up and running after some years. The games are also currently on sale for around $10 a piece on the Xbox Store! Cheers and Happy Friday!

@Blash I took advantage of that deal and bought MW 2 , matchmaking is quick and it feels like 2009 all over again I’m having a blast !
“Activision Unexpectedly Fixes Old Call of Duty Servers, Just One Day After FTC Verdict”
Imagine that.
I think maybe MS had something to do with that , the servers getting fixed then all of the older CODs are on sale on the Xbox store ..
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
Yeh your in to something. See the bigger picture.
I also think to addd: Sony in a loose loose situation with the 10 year thing. I thought that from the start. Reason being they would technically be doing free marketing for COD. Any expose is good exposure and furthering the 'brand name'. So although sony would get profit for a while in the big picture they would be doing the dirty on themselves.
The Japanese execs obviously are not dumb and realise this too and that's why they fought so hard.
In general though this whole thing leaves a bad taste in the mouth with everyone's lies being out in the open and I think a lot will call it a day with cod. I know I've brought my last one.
Aint nobody leavin CoD bc of this merger or lawsuit brother 😂. Gotta get off twitter.
Would not be surprised if MS fully restores old CoD on Xbox including patching mods and fixing player counts and lets PS3 versions rot away, nostalgia is a drug and Game Pass release of the old games pushes them to fix it as they would be the only Game Pass titles that are hacked/modded.
I just can't fathom someone having nostalgia for cod. Blows my mind. So many better games out there
Nostalgia for COD is definitely a big thing. I have many a time found myself reminiscing about an older COD title that became a hacked mess. Primarily Black Ops 1 and 2. Also Modern Warfare 2. There was a certain "je ne sais quoi" about the original games that no remaster can touch. I'm so stoked the older titles have their servers fixed... I will definitely be re-living some memories from years ago that I never thought I would have again. And some new frustrations no doubt... But hey. One thing at a time.
Lol I see two ppl are upset , I got MW 2 for $10 and jump right into games immediately
Microsoft has updated the list of games that will be leaving Xbox Game Pass and PC Game Pass at the end of September 2022.
They really should give you a 30 day notice on games leaving. At this point you only have a few weeks

They do. But you gotta have something to complain about I guess 🤷
Please find an article older than a day ago that states, say that The Somnium Files are leaving GamePass and I'll gladly admit my error.
They never give you a 30 day heads up. Games leave the service twice a month; once in the middle and once at the end. You get a two week heads up each time before games leave. So when these games leave at the end of the month you'll find out which games are leaving in the middle of October and have 2 weeks to play them. As of right now no one knows which games those will be.
If you are going to try and say someone is complaining and tell them they're wrong maybe be sure you got your facts straight.
If you have Game Pass, they tell you on the front page which games are leaving soon and the date. Only those who don’t have GP rely on websites for that info.
So you're saying on the app, these games were announced as leaving at the beginning of September, but still somehow all the websites reporting on the games leaving just started doing so like a day ago. And all the articles reporting the games leaving at the beginning of September left these same games out for some reason. I mean, it's possible but would be really weird
They have their games up for 6 months to a year, or even more than that.
The majority of the people who wanted to play those titles would have already.
I know backlog happens, but still. If you're interested in playing a game, you shouldn't wait even six months and complain you didn't have enough time to play it.
So your not up to date with the service you pay for since it’s listed on the front page. You would like random 3rd party websites you don’t pay for to write an article for you to remind you and maybe keep writing daily update articles in case you miss it.
Well good for you Phil has rented a car and plane with signs to circle your house daily to remind you. In addition the power company will be adding the service for you shortly.

The best would be full dates of starting and ending. Fan boys saying that’s not desired. Now most people get their value for the service so it kind of seems worthwhile to put up with 2 to 4 weeks but certainly it’s not desirable.
Many publisher sales are taking place on the Switch eShop, including one from Spike Chunsoft – which includes the lowest prices ever for the Danganronpa games. AI: The Somnium Files has also received its biggest discount ever, which comes just in time for the sequel.
I’m personally excited for Death Stranding!
All I need are Control and Borderlands 3!
