Are the old CoD games still full of hackers?
Tempted by Black Ops 2, probably the last online game I was half decent at.
I guess xbox is mostly full of fans of shooters. I don't understand the obsession.
I picked up Persona 5R even though I’m half way through it on PS4. The quick resume makes it a lot easier to play for a few minutes at a time or just stop when it’s getting late.
I may pick up a COD game for the zombie mode.
@Rangers420 ABK deal will go through soon and they will likely all be added to Game Pass. If you have it better to wait
@Rangers420 I played Black Ops 2 this week, it was a 50/50 split of normal matches and ones with hackers in sadly. So I played 10 matches and only enjoyed 5 of them before I gave up.
It's weird seeing mw2 on the top paid and most played list but I can only ever seem to get into the same lobby over and over again like there's only those same 10-12 people playing.
@Rangers420 Sadly yes. The match making has been fixed tremendously but the hackers are still around. I suspect at some point it will be fixed, but for now you need to becareful. There is reports of hackers doing everything from restting your levels, adding levels to stealing your IP address and other personal information.
COD COD COD COD and COD oh and Skyrim.
Look I’ll say it every time I can, My fellow Americans play way too much COD. I don’t think they know other games exist.
Hmm nothing I would buy. Actually I might get Elden ring and Hogwarts one day
@CutchuSlow xbox always was the fps console
@Kaloudz I’ve recently played some games in MW2 mp and WaW mp and I haven’t run into any hacked lobbies yet. I’m gonna purchase BLOPS2 and MW4 this week and give them a whirl too. I fully expect to run into hackers though, it’s inevitable with these old CODs.
I gotta say though… booting up WaW multiplayer and playing team deathmatch on Arisaka felt like coming home.
It also feels good not seeing a battle pass tab anywhere
25 games but really like 10 games haha
There is going to be an explosion of COD players once it officially gets added to Gamepass Ultimate soon.
@Netret0120 believe it or not there already is….getting so many lobbies with low level players
It’s wonderful
@Kaloudz ymmv brother. I dropped into some MW2 team deathmatch last night and was swiftly reminded of my lack of skills and/or hacks. It’s a good time when the lobbies aren’t dripping with sweat
@Kaloudz i don’t think I’ve heard it, but I also play with the volume low and while listening to a podcast.
On a similar note, now that I think on. It a few of the WaW lobbies I was had to have been hacked. When I’m dumping a whole tommy mag right on them and STILL need team help and a grenade to finish them off, that’s gotta be a cheater.
It just never occurs to me to cheat in video games, or why anyone would want to cheat themselves out of a good time.
