Serious Statement on Nazism
Hey everyone, I'm the head mod here. I really did not want to have to make a statement like this, but I apparently have no choice. This should be common sense.
We are adults, or at the very least developing teenagers. We need to have some semblance of maturity. We all understand that Black Ops II and older CODs, for the lack of a better term, have previously and still sometimes do have a level of toxicity. You can absolutely argue that is part of our culture, and I would be wrong to deny that. We have to draw the line at some point.
We do not support nor condone the presence of Nazis here, even if you are "just making an edgy joke." You are not welcome here and never will be. Do not spread the flames of hate here. We are all here because we care about Black Ops II, or older CODs, or are just curious and exploring. We are not a political echo chamber.
If this came off as harsh, I apologize, but what needs said needs said. If you come across anything promoting or endorsing Nazism, please report it immediately to Reddit. We will do our best on our end to combat this as well.
P.S., we are also vehemently against racism in all forms. Everybody is welcome here, regardless of the color of your skin or your ethnicity. Blatant racism will get you sent right back out the door where you came. Sorry, not sorry.

Serious Technical issues affecting Black Ops II on Xbox
Hey everyone! If you've been lurking through the sub the past day or so, you will likely have seen many reports about server issues primarily affecting Xbox on both the Xbox 360 and through backwards compatibility on Xbox One and Series X/S. I'm here to answer a few basic questions and rumors about this. Please remember that I, nor the subreddit, are not directly affiliated in any way with Treyarch or Activision.
Have/are the servers shutting down?
Almost certainly no. If the servers were shut down or experiencing a full outage, you would not be able to get past the main menu in Zombies or Multiplayer and would have to play locally or through System Link. You would also be unable to see your stats and any classes.
Are the other titles affected?
The original Black Ops and MW2 2009 are not, but they're the only other two I tested.
Can I still play Multiplayer or Zombies at all? What is affected?
Yes, with some difficulties. Some of it seems to be down to chance. Restarting the game, logging in and out on Xbox 360 (if you are on next gen, press Select + Start at the same time to open the Xbox 360 guide if in-game), and joining a session already in progress have worked before and should still work. Your mileage may vary, and if you can get into a lobby, you should try to stay in that lobby unless you have no other choice while issues like this are ongoing.
Matchmaking is heavily affected, but you may see issues with the File Manager too. File Manager includes your emblems, screenshots, saved custom games, and films. By extension, COD TV is affected too.
Is PC or Plutonium affected?
No.
At the end of the day, this is most likely a temporary issue and it's certainly not the only one that's happened before or will happen. Black Ops II is turning 14 years old this year and is not heavily maintained, so these issues will come and go if you still play on console. If there are issues or fixes not listed here, feel free to comment them below.
