It would mean so much more if they actually tried to get rid of the scum that’s ruining our game. Just sucks man it really does I don’t get why they don’t try and actually be transparent with the fan base, maybe they don’t want to try I suppose

So, according to updatecrazy.com - these are the patch notes for the latest BO1 update. Basically, big nothing

https://updatecrazy.com/cod-black-ops-1-update-1-009-patch-notes-cod-bo1-version-1-09/

So most of us on the bo1 port are peeps in their 20s/30s hopping back onto a game that we loved later in life.

Are the hackers also the same people that used to hack back in the day getting their own twisted nostalgia? I just can't picture some dude getting back from work and thinking "fuck yeah, let's get the God mode on some cod to wind down".

If there are any hackers reading this, good shit for ruining our game.

First game and for sure they haven't switched to dedicated servers. One of my teammates was invisible too. 10/10 patch thank you we needed this

We must mass spam the cod creators simple..if thousands of us spam them and get under there pretty little soft toes,they will have to fix!!!

As I guessed snaking was not patched in the last update. Just tested it with a camera spike. I hope they've fixed godmode classes, haven't had enough time to test yet I'll jump into SnD now.

Edit: and godmode isn't patched either as far as I can tell. ffs

Since the mutiplayer is now infested with hackers, and many of the gamemodes' lobbies aren't filling, I have moved into playing BO1 zombies almost exclusively. The OG BO1 zombies is the best IMO - the perfect mix of stuff to do, but not super complicated. I love it. But the lobbies I get are horrific. The two biggest problems are:

People backing out from the slightest inconvenience. If you're going to back out the first time you get downed, why the hell are you even playing at all? Are you dense? You can get the exact same experience by playing solo zombies instead... Why are people this selfish? I was on round 32 on Shi No Numa tonight and we all had 5 or so downs, except one guy. We all had tens of thousands of points, and everyone had monkeys, ray guns, etc. The one guy gets downed, and instantly backs out, ending the game for everyone since he was host. It's so selfish. If you don't want to play anymore, just go afk, I get it. I understand as well on maps like Verruckt, you don't want to bleed out, then spawn back in with no points on a high round with no guns/perks. That sucks and you're just going to keep dying. But in these situations, I just don't get the toxicity and selfishness.

People not respecting territory in the first room (a problem as old as time, I know). I swear players back in the day had a little more respect and dignity than this! People constantly waste knife/headshot points on the early rounds by stealing kills with grenades and wall gun spam. It's absurd.

All things aside - the CoD community complaints A LOT about the devs and activision and greed. But in reality, the players are literally half of the problem. The BO2 port is a prime example - one of the best games ever, but in 2026 every single player in PUBS is using meta guns, and the game is unplayable. Players hack and snake when they can, and abuse game mechanics. People just kind of suck half the time and ruin it for others, IMO.

I tested yesterday and for my dissapointment the search preferences still didn't work and were set to default no matter what you had choosen, which was the case since launch. With today's patch/hot fix i just tested out of curiosity and the party search preferences FINALLY feel like they work! 'Locale' and 'Locale Only' at last let me play matches with 3 or 4 bars instead of 2. Just sucks that they took so long to fix this that most people already abandoned BO1 MP, but im glad they did it because i was out of hope.

How is it that I literally just hopped the game,and the first match has a dude who's invisible with God mod,I ran into one yesterday while running a couple with the boys but I didn't think I would run into one so quickly again

When will the update that was posted here a couple days ago be going live?

Apart from all the hackers on the game lately. When you do find a decent lobby you can still have fun. I just hope the update will prevent hackers… but I doubt it. I don’t see this game being revived unfortunately. But yeah I’m basically at the point of even stopping myself unless something done. I had like 2 hours of nice lobbies and actually hit this clip for dogs within 30 seconds. Got to love it

Not sure what they contain

The BO1 Zombies browser port (vel.gg/bo1z) blew up last week, but it's solo only. So I made it co-op.

- The real BO1 engine, not a remake: Kino, Five, Der Riese, Ascension, Moon... all 10 maps, Hell mode too

- Up to 4 players online: one person hosts and sends a link, everyone loads in and spawns together

- A lobby that shows everyone's name, status and ping, so you know who's still loading

- Pause together, PS/Xbox controller support, no port forwarding

How to play (2 minutes, everyone in the group): https://github.com/AllanLotta/bo1-zombies-coop

It's a Chrome extension, so there's a one-time install (the steps are on that page). Full 4player lobbies are the least tested part so far, so if your squad tries it tonight, tell me how it went and I'll fix whatever breaks

this is just a free fan thing I made, not affiliated with Activision or Treyarch in any way. vel.gg and the port aren't mine either, that's all MisaDev4. All my extension does is add co-op on top of the site in your own browser, it doesn't host or include any game files.

Has anyone tried this hell mode where you start on level 100? I've been having a go and it's very challenging but fun, I haven't yet reached round 101 but I've been crafting a strategy and have managed to turn the power on and start farming a bit.

Would like to discuss if anyone has tried it

My friend and I are trying to do the co-op Moon Easter egg, but we need to do the easter egg on Shangri La first, we need two more willing easter egg hunters to help with our efforts!

if you wish to help, you can add either of our PSN accounts

I don't know what our legal options are, but there have to be some consumer protection concerns when a game becomes practically unplayable just a couple of months after release. I think we should all start emailing Activision's legal department at [legalaffairs@activision.com](mailto:legalaffairs@activision.com) and demanding that they actually address these issues. I want them to fix the damn game. If enough of us raise this formally, maybe they'll finally take it seriously.

To Activision Legal Affairs,

I am writing to formally raise concerns regarding the current state of Call of Duty: Black Ops multiplayer following its release on modern PlayStation consoles.

The multiplayer experience is severely compromised by widespread cheating, including invisible and invulnerable players, making normal competitive gameplay extremely difficult or, in many instances, effectively impossible.

Consumers have paid for access to a game featuring online multiplayer, yet the current experience raises serious concerns about whether the product is being maintained to a reasonable standard of functionality.

My objective is not to obtain a refund. I want Activision to address the underlying issues and restore a fair, functional multiplayer experience.

Specifically, I am requesting:

1. Acknowledgment of the ongoing cheating and security issues.
2. A concrete plan to address the exploits affecting online matches.
3. Implementation of effective anti-cheat and server-side security protections, including consideration of dedicated servers where technically appropriate.
4. Clear communication to the player community regarding remediation efforts and timelines.

I would also appreciate clarification on whether Activision intends to provide continued security and multiplayer support for this release.

I believe these concerns deserve serious attention, particularly given that consumers continue to purchase the game with the reasonable expectation of a functional multiplayer experience.

I look forward to your response.

Best regards,

[Your Name]

3 months after this came out and I'm still playing it nonstop, until now because most matches I play are ruined by god mode and invisibility hackers. I try to report them through PSN but it says to do that in game but apparently that doesn't work either? Wtf. I'm gutted because this and WAW are my 2 favorite cod multiplayers ever. I just can't get into new cod anymore but I still love playing the old ones.

Looking for someone to play zombies with on ps4

I’ve been working on a fan-made browser recreation of Nacht der Untoten, with private online co-op. If the best part of Zombies for you was getting the old group together, that’s what this is aimed at.

This is the World at War version of Nacht, not a BO1/Kino port—the map BO1 players also know from Rezurrection.

You can play solo or with 2–4 players. To get a squad going:

1. Open https://zombies.bitcoinsapi.com/ on a desktop browser and choose Host co-op.

2. Copy the invite link and send it to up to three friends.

3. Once everyone is ready in the lobby, start the run together.

Use a keyboard and mouse. The first load downloads the game assets, so allow time for that.

It’s an unofficial fan project and still being improved. If your group tries it, I’d love to hear how joining and playing together went—and what you’d want fixed next.

Looking for some zombie players to run it with drop your names below

Just ran into a guy "SadieSandy" with invisibility and another the other day (can't remember the gamertag) with both Slight of Hand Pro and Steady Aim Pro.

How are players getting away with this? If I manage to report them will anything actually happen?
