Retro Call of Duty Games Regain Popularity with Fixed Matchmaking

Old-generation Call of Duty games, such as Modern Warfare 2 and Black Ops, are experiencing a surge in popularity after Activision applied fixes to their servers. Speculation suggests that this resurgence may be in preparation for the games being added to Xbox Game Pass following the Microsoft x Activision acquisition. The return of these classic titles is welcomed by fans who believe that the franchise's best years were between 2007 and 2012. Despite claims of inflated player numbers due to bots, the renewed interest in these games is evident. Players have the opportunity to revisit these titles on Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S consoles, as they are already backwards compatible.
