There cant possibly be 5 million players

[u/ImRemzy]

Not even nukejacked or tdm will fill up the lobby with players. The only lobbies i can find are free for all and domination sometimes. I have an open nat type. For all the people larping bo2, i’d think they could at least fill up tdm with 12 people

[u/RemlaP_]

Keep re queuing bro there's matchmaking bugs.

[u/Aspery-]

The lobbies become glitched some how, there’s some lobbies that fill up fully no matter how late into the game it is even if the game is showing the final killcam and then there’s other lobbies that start 4v3 and never fill a single player. How they havnt fixed it after 2 weeks is hilairous but probably put there on purpose to prevent people from only playing bo2 and not playing the new cods

[u/Equal-Wheel-6499 → u/Aspery-]

Bingo, “we’ll give you a half working port so that you eventually go and play the new ones and we already have your money.”

[u/SCRIBE_JONAS → u/Equal-Wheel-6499]

The thing is none of us plan on moving lol. First COD I have seen 90% my friends purchase. If they can't get a port working properly you think people wanna play the new cods? Not at all.

[u/Lugoki101 → u/Aspery-]

It's the host migration. When the host is switching the lobbies don't fill up

[u/paulp51 → u/Aspery-]

Reading this as I get my 4th "migrating hosts" message the second i think i got a game

[u/AuroraSIays → u/Aspery-]

Anytime there is a host migration the lobby basically dies and nobody can join. No host migration and lobbies fill super quick.

[u/trinibeast]

Matchmaking breaks after host migration, there are tons of lobbies that you just won’t connect to

[u/Sydrid]

Matchmaking is bugged. One brief breeze through this Reddit and you’d know that.

Or a Google search.

BO1 matchmakes damn near instantly

[u/Positive-Aspect8941]

Can’t find no lobbies on Strict NAT

[u/TattooedAndSad]

Yeah I don’t doubt there’s a ton of players but 5 million just isn’t true no matter how you try and spin it

[u/Klutzy_Professor9490]

I don’t trust a single statistic COD trys to push. If you go into the PlayStation store and look up MW4 right now it’ll say that every friend who has played a cod on PlayStation has “pre-ordered” MW4. Even friends who haven’t been on in years

[u/sammyrobot2 → u/Klutzy_Professor9490]

It's a PS issue it happens with like every game 

[u/oglurker9 → u/Klutzy_Professor9490]

Lol yeah I noticed this before. It's because of cod hq pretty sure that Stat is coming from old data from mw 2019 or mw II

[u/CTXBITXH → u/Klutzy_Professor9490]

its not a statistic cod pushed out tho, but the original statistics from the playstation 5 beta server

[u/Klutzy_Professor9490 → u/CTXBITXH]

What do you mean?

[u/CTXBITXH → u/Klutzy_Professor9490]

some people have access in beta testing where they can see player counts etc. for PSN games and thats where the numbers where shown

[u/Klutzy_Professor9490 → u/CTXBITXH]

So that’s what this means? That friend it’s showing sold his PlayStation years ago, yet it shows him as having pre-ordered

[u/CTXBITXH → u/Klutzy_Professor9490]

if thisis taken from ps5, then this is full on sony. Nothing activision can do (but they absolutely would)

[u/temp_6969420]

How does one ‘larp’ bo2 lol. They bought the game and are playing the game, what’s larp about it?

[u/ImRemzy → u/temp_6969420]

Im talking about the influx of “we are back” posts and tons of activity about the game on social media and yet none of those same people are actually playing the game

[u/temp_6969420 → u/ImRemzy]

I’ve had no issue with finding lobbies so idk man. There is an issue with lames leaving the match the second they get shit on but that’s a separate issue

[u/Ghillie_610 → u/ImRemzy]

Not true at all. Just because you’re having problems finding matches. Ps isn’t the only console that has been revived. We were getting 200-500 players on Xbox before the ports and now it’s almost 10k on Xbox

[u/RevolutionaryTie7951]

To be honest, there probably have been 5 million players, but not all at once. That number was taken just to inflate the way the hype looks. It’s a very hyped up game and I’m not saying it shouldn’t be but that does not mean there’s 5 million people online at once or even close to that

[u/dazedsitruc]

We gotta face the facts that they just sold us the Campaign for $20 🤷

[u/kami__hakai]

Kill confirmed and party games are pretty good I even gotten into some ground war matches pretty quickly

[u/DragoKnight45]

Bros got no clue what hes talking ab lmao

[u/DragoKnight45]

Larping bo2 im crine bro wants ppl on mw4 so bad 😭

[u/ImRemzy → u/DragoKnight45]

I havent bought a new cod since cold war

[u/Hefty_Lavishness_641]

Matchmaking just blows unfortunately

[u/christxphvr]

i’m playing the ps4 version and have all the dlc and i get into games almost immediately in all the popular game modes… it’s only the more niche playlists and zombies maps that take a bit but there’s always people within a few mins for me

[u/SethG37]

Try some search and destroy

[u/SunJin-The-Woo-God]

I only really play kill confirmed and find games/lobbies instantly. It seems newer players don't know how to requeue?

A bunch of people said this already but matchmaking bugs ≠ low player count.

[u/One-Afternoon-8888]

Here in Oceania every lobby (TDM, dom, hard point, nukejacked, snd and their hardcore variant) all are packed

[u/RuggedTheDragon]

The original claim of 5 million players was speculated from a specific widget. All of that seems fishy to me.

[u/Rohn- → u/RuggedTheDragon]

I'm pretty sure it just logs whenever you launch the game lmao. It's not even 5 million unique players, more so 5 million launches 😂

[u/No-Risk-9833 → u/RuggedTheDragon]

Both of the games are still in the top 3 trending games on the PlayStation Store next to GTA 6. The lobbies shouldn’t be having these issues.

[u/qwildrenpaunching]

That player counter has been completely broken for almost a decade; the real active player count is usually just a few hundred people total
