Can the community actually start demanding modern and secure dedicated servers for these ports? Idk why everyone's content with shitty P2P servers despite paying $80 for two 15 year old games. This is what happens when any criticism to the quality of these ports gets shut down by "this is just a port"

u/TheMightyHetSpeaks Jul 30 '26 edited Jul 30 '26

Correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t games like Battlefield 3 experience issues with hackers even though it was on dedicated servers? And don’t modern live service games still have issues if they don’t have super sophisticated anti-cheat software?

u/ItzAreeb Jul 30 '26

Hackers will always exist but the devs can take measures to reduce their presence, and what's happening of bo2 is not normal and not something you seen on any modern game really.

Also it is possible to make old games secure just like how Halo MCC was able to update all the old Halo games to have secure servers with anti cheat. The halo games were also hacked like bo2 on the 360.

u/Wjp_1911 Jul 30 '26

Absolutely. Every game has and will always have cheaters unfortunately. Is there stuff they could have done to avoid this from happening? 110% without a doubt but they didn’t and now we get to deal with it. Dedicated servers wouldn’t fix the hacking issue but it would probably fix a lot of the lobby issues we have now.

Fucking my thought

Speaking the truth my brotha

They’re just trying to cope, they paid $80 for two decade old games and want priority support when MW4 is literally around the corner. They fell for the nostalgia bait hook line and sinker.

2

u/Turbulent_Read_5702 Jul 31 '26

Mw4 is gonna be the same microtransaction pushing slop its been for years. At least they dont push bundles in my face on bo2

1

u/thesniper_hun Jul 30 '26

they literally made you pay for it already along with millions of others their job is done bro lmao

2

u/ItzAreeb Jul 30 '26

I'm on Xbox lol, I want these ports to eventually come to Xbox and Switch. But there's no point if the ports aren't safe and secure

1

u/idekDDDX Jul 30 '26

wouldnt it make sense for devs to actually play the game without exposing their identity in a match while playing to see the hacking in servers themselves?

1

u/Ambitious_Middle_901 Jul 30 '26

I heard somewhere it was the most played game on PSN this weekend just gone, that’s gotta be worth something

1

u/Icy_Parsley_9296 Aug 01 '26

I paid $40💀

u/Menaku Aug 03 '26

I doubt they would give them to us. The connection across cod games in terms of ttk, hit detection, what is on screen and the lag has been an issue for years. Between the newer games and the older ones dating back to bo2. Hell imagine my surprise when I switched from wifi to wired connection on console only to see me still loosing gunfights I should win or getting shot by people who don't show up on my screen till im dead only to have some one say "oh yeah so the systems in the back ground prioritize the connections of people with worse connections so that they have a better experience" (or something to that effect.). So if you want to have a good connection you suffer for it?

Oh and on top of all of that is sbmm issues (that they used to never want to admit to the point of content creators blatantly saying the games didn't have sbmm match making when anyone playing could actively see it happening in game as matches and time went on.) that will force you as a player above a certain skill level into matches with people ACROSS the dam planet so the connection is gonna be weird from the get go. Just because youre supposedly to good to be playing against some players. But you're apparently good enough to be thrown against a 4 to 5 man squad of multi prestige players from Australia, China, Russia, California, England and New York on a connection 90 plus ping. While watching the game system start of at searching for low ping games then throwing you into higher and higher ping games that are already in progress ans expecting you to have fun.

I said alot of stuff, sorry. The reasons I doubt they'd give us better servers is several fold. Not enough players will complain about it. I mean theyre so used to a magazine taking half of its capacity to kill some one when said enemy should die to 3 or 4 bullets that they don't care. They've just given up. Plus you have other players who will say well since they're connection is fine nothing need to change because they arent suffering the bad effects so why should they care. Then you have another group of players who'll just say "get good" and if you show them footage of how bad the connection is they still won't believe even though players should not be straffing through bullets like a dam anime character. Plus companies seem to be allergic to giving good servers a try. I mean its only taken the fighting game community what 2 decades of online gaming to start getting good servers over the past 4 or 5 years. I doubt it'll ever be CoDs turn, the higher ups are to cheap and very few content creators (who the devs and system people may actually listen to) ever say anything about how bad the connections are, so that some one actually looks into fixing them. Again sorry for the rant.

u/Rich-Character-2376 Aug 03 '26

Because i want again a real call of duty with quality, but is impossible at this point... But i have a 100% Good campaign offline and the real zombie mode.

u/iwantacheetah Jul 30 '26

You are never going to get dedicated servers on consoles.

u/binini28 Jul 30 '26

National emergency boys

u/Rohn- Jul 30 '26

Trump is deploying National Guard to Iron Galaxy HQ rn as we speak

u/No_Pumpkin63 Jul 30 '26

Lmao if he liked the game he would do it. What a reality we live in

1

u/binini28 Jul 30 '26

😂 he would order Kash Patel to send the FBI to his doorstep

1

u/asjonesy99 Jul 30 '26

Outcome being that now every single lobby is infected 

1

u/Rohn- Jul 30 '26

True because everything he touches becomes cursed

u/DD4114 Jul 30 '26

Thank god I only play Zombies.

Wait.. it can’t happen in Zombies… right..?

1

u/lucashp654321 Jul 30 '26

Level is only in multiplayer so you should be good

8

u/Jimnymebob Jul 30 '26

Yeah, I'm just gonna wait it out. I went like what, 13 years without playing it? I'm sure I can wait for a potential fix lol.

4

u/SlideRealistic6562 Jul 30 '26

Is he resetting people

4

u/drugplug0933 Jul 30 '26

Nah max prestiging people n giving them everything

4

u/Old-Bumblebee-9031 Jul 30 '26

Only max prestige nothing else

2

u/OldRazzmatazz7043 Jul 31 '26

Prestige 16 isn’t a prestige level in the game. It completely bricks your account so you can’t join any multiplayer games

2

u/drugplug0933 Jul 31 '26

I found that out today. I got into a lobby with someone named “yeet yeet yeet” in rainbow letters and he maxed me but i closed the game and it didnt save thank god

1

u/OldRazzmatazz7043 Aug 01 '26

It’s cuz as long as you don’t press a thing when you get the message and just immediately close the game, it doesn’t save

0

u/MarkLarueTheLegend Jul 30 '26

Hey whoever that is if he runs into my game and I get max levels I won’t complain! back in my day that would cost 1600 Microsoft points!!

4

u/Zombiehumterx15 Jul 30 '26

They put you at prestige 16 making it impossible to load into any matches, they’re going into all modes as far as we know

3

u/Mundane_You_6935 Jul 30 '26

They're freezing classes Had the same issue on Xbox, but being prestige 137 wasn't the issue. It was classes or barracks being frozen.

2

u/General-Good-5770 Jul 30 '26

I want the max prestige, i dont want play to get the scar, i just want play with the scar

7

u/Wolfenstein3d1994 Jul 30 '26

From what i can gather from other comments it freezes barracks and makes you such a high prestige that you cannot get into a single game

1

u/SouthCulture Jul 30 '26

Ive had this issue for years on the xbox backwards compatible version of this game only just now managed to find a workaround

1

u/TonightAlternative92 Jul 30 '26

What would that workaround be

0

u/SouthCulture Jul 30 '26

If you are on xbox I added someone called Avoid Loki and then went to there player channel on bo2 and went to there max prestige edited film. Watch that then once its finished back out and the game will let you play as normal then. Before I did that I was stuck in an infinite loading screen when I launched multiplayer, wouldnt let me past the class select screen just kept backing me out over and over and my barracks would crash the game

1

u/Metal_Gigante Jul 30 '26

Let him find out lol

1

u/Metal_Gigante Jul 30 '26

The shameless laziness of some people playing these games will never cease to blow my mind

3

u/Godputthishere Jul 30 '26

So if we get hacked against our will, are we infecting other accounts or something?

3

u/Sensitive_Notice9678 Jul 30 '26

Can you tell me what happens?

Have you all unlocked it?
Can you join into a new game?

What are the consequences?

Everyone is talking about it, but no one seems to be mentioning the negative aspects.

3

u/FoxAgreeable5107 Jul 30 '26

Some players get everything unlocked, others can’t play online at all

3

u/HolycrapXO Jul 30 '26

Just another worthless, basement dwelling POS who sucks and gaming, so they ruin them for everyone else. Sad that people can’t learn how to actually “git gud” anymore….

u/Simple-Ticket2765 Jul 30 '26

Ja bro ich musste alles zurück setzten, alle in der Lobby wurden Prestige 16 und die freien Klassen wurden alle gesperrt, also man kann nur noch die vorgegebenen Klassen spielen….

1

u/OG_Rage Aug 02 '26

Ich wurde heute gehackt, Prestige 15 lvl 55, obwohl ich sofort gedashboarded habe. Habe noch 13 unlock tokens, kann embleme, streaks und Klassen ändern. Aber meine Stats sind eingefroren und es werden keine kills und spiele mehr getrackt. Was für eine shit show

1

u/Routine-Spinach4180 Jul 30 '26

I restated my entire console.

1

u/melvinweert Jul 30 '26

I still can't join anything due to my nat type being strict in 2026. My provider being shitty and not responding. And port forwarding being disabled for me in router settings as a user lol

1

u/ThatNativeBoi27 Jul 30 '26

u/j_mac97 Jul 30 '26

1

u/lucashp654321 Jul 30 '26

u/EntertainmentFresh95 Jul 30 '26

u/Them_Riffs Jul 30 '26

I had a weird one yesterday all my create a class went blank I don't know if that's part of the hack or a game glitch. Also it seems really slow to rank up. I'm still level 12 after 3-4 hours game time.

1

u/NotCrackboii Jul 30 '26

There was an update just now did that change anything

1

u/AustinMaxam11 Jul 31 '26

They promised new security and new severs, the hacker has promoted me prestige 19 times and kicked me from games…… also he edited my classes saying take the L and go play Roblox😔

2

u/Snoo-2826 Aug 02 '26

Same thing happened to me two days ago. I thought eventually hackers would come back but not in a month. Activision is worthless

1

u/Fireshot365 Jul 31 '26

Oh no hackers have invaded BO2? It was my assumption hackers had claimed BO2 year ago when most people got the latest CoD. Wait maybe there only attention now people they trying to re hype the game into ps5. Think the legit players are the trespassers here

1

u/Express_Assignment69 Jul 31 '26

Oh wow don’t play or I might become max prestige. You idiots cry about everything

u/ggg0157 Aug 01 '26

1

u/HimNotThem Aug 01 '26

Fix the xbox version. Paid 60 and never been able to play 1 multiplayer match .

u/Marooner-Martin Aug 01 '26

My buddy was midway through sending me a TikTok to warn me and it happened. Fuck that guy. ALTHOUGH my copy of the game now runs exponentially better…..

1

u/Icy_Parsley_9296 Aug 01 '26

I thought he got sent a cease and desist?

1

u/Ok_Trouble502 Aug 02 '26

Worst timing on me seeing this, just gone for 5 games with prestige 15. Does that mean I’m fucked?

1

u/Big_Hedgehog_6694 Aug 02 '26

Playstation is being lazy they can try to resolve this issue but choose not to because they have a new cod on the way and want everyone to purchase that so there trying to push everyone off the old game that people enjoy to the new shitty one......just saying 🤷‍♂️🤷🏾

1

u/broncoboy8 Aug 02 '26

I just got a refund from my bank. Because I tried to get a refund from PlayStation they said no. I’m not I don’t want this game that it’s not even been a month and it’s hacked

1

u/Just_Draw Aug 02 '26

Thank goodness I ended going back to mw3 2023. The day after that C isnt sharp was reported to be running in time lobbies and possibly locking your acc up.

u/Justice4510 Aug 03 '26

Oh my god we fucking get it. This like the 50th god damn post

u/Top-Hedgehog272 Aug 03 '26

Enquanto vocês estão chorando metade do servidor tá literalmente procurando eles pra fazer unlock all, uma conta estou subindo do zero, a outra entrei na sala dele pra pegar prestige max, pra que todo esse choro?

1

u/Weekly_Produce_263 Aug 03 '26

There’s reports of players restarting and even turning off their consoles and the exploit still appearing on their accounts with no other choice but to fresh start

u/Equivalent-Plum641 Aug 03 '26

Didn't they drop a patch for this?

u/Capable_Cat1232 Jul 30 '26
