Man I really hated Black Ops 3's zombie maps.
Soooo complicated and big. I just want to kick back and not overthink it and just have fun.

Glad I kept my BO2. Just played a bit of Town and had fun, small map. And Mob of the dead will forever be my GOAT zombie map. It's the right amount of complicated but not too complicated. Simplistic but also rewarding.

Never really liked COD. But I bought all black ops from 1-3 just and just for the zombie mode. Coop online is my jam.

Just got all the map DLC to work (was linked to an old email with forgotten password) and been playing my beloved Excavation zombies <333 Digging was a pastime for me. I have the world record for gold shovel retrieval - had it at round seven once.

I was on it earlier today in the morning on PS3 and there was around 50k people playing. This was during complete off peak hours. I could easily see it reaching 70-80k during peak hours on PS3. On the playstation systems the game doesn't even have BC. These are some really crazy numbers.

BO2 really was an amazing game. Having played all the newer CODs, it's undoubtedly has the best MP in the series IMO.

Warthog was best killstreak.

The sound that Warthog makes when coming in is still the single greatest sound in COD history. I can't believe they didn't incorporate something like that ever again to the streaks.

It literally feels like some kind of Eldrich Monstrosity is about to swoop in and snatch yo ass up just from that sound alone.

I'm not quite sure how this statistic works, but still... (this is for the US)

Well ahead of BO3. (which is well ahead of IW)

For reference, BF1 24hr peak was 65k.

Need some context here. Is that good? Bad? Average?
Click to expand...

Black Ops 2 is about 5 Call of Duty games old, and that is slightly below the old average on PS3 a few months after release.
Considering Ghosts, Advanced, Black Ops 3, Infinite and Remastered have all released since then it is pretty amazing.
Ghosts on PS4 can't even get a room going if you have DLC.

Got it digital during the Spring Sale and visually it holds up a lot better than I thought it would. I hope they fix the horizontal aliasing issue at some point.

I haven't logged on in a few months, but it typically was around 40k - 50k peak last I checked. So BC essentially doubled the population.

Is it playable on PC nowadays, or cluttered with cheaters/dead as well as other CoD games on PC? Sadly I don't have Xbox One. Guess I just have to wait for WWII.

Even with all the mocking, if even one million people on X1s are using BC, that says to me "no one uses BC". That's an irrelevant percentage. Like, how many people are willing to buy the console strictly for BC is a small % of those who will use it just because they can...so unless it was basically free to Microsoft I think it's wasted dollars. It's clearly not helping them catch up to Sony in any meaningful fashion.

You guys seem so proud of this number like it proves something. Like the PS4 is going to die any day now because they don't have BC.

I told my PS4 it would be ok. I think she believes me.

How would 1 million people finding added value in their purchases insignificant? Or publishers being create new customers with old properties. Or publishers being able to sell DLC for titles that have since stopped generating revenue.

'Nioh has only sold one million, so even if one million people on PS4 are playing Nioh, that says to me "nobody likes Nioh". It's an irrelevant percentage'

Come on man. BC is a feature that Xbox owners wanted. It's good to have and helps diversify the library for people that missed out on some of the games last gen. Others, like myself, are interested in seeing how the Scorpio improves last gen games as well. It's nice to see older games experience a bit of a revival too. I don't care for Black Ops 2, but obviously a fair amount of people do. Additionally, BC probably is making Microsoft some money. No need to be so condescending with that console warrior shit.

...Why are you bringing up PS4 at all? No one else brought it up, only you. I am proud of the number, because it ensures the game has a good MP player base.

Seeing all this made me buy this game, but this price! Isn't it a little to much?

Activision is perhaps the least generous company when it comes to their prices. Even on a sale, COD game prices are hardly cut. Probably because they sell regardless of the price so why cut it?

People were already willing to spend $80 for COD.

Black Ops II multiplayer was absolutely excellent, and by far remains the best out of the past five entries.

Very glad to see it's still going strong, and envious of those Xbox One owners able to jump back in.
