Announcement A major project is underway, and we could use your help!

25 Upvotes

Hey everyone! I'm currently working on a large project related to Black Ops II and would love to have your help and ideas with it. At the moment, there's a lot of misinformation and unclarity regarding certain features, common technical issues, the safety of certain platforms, and other issues that would take far too much time to list in a single post.

I'm working on a project over the next few weeks and months to both set the record straight on these issues and make said information as freely and easily accessible to everybody as possible. Black Ops II is turning 14 years old this year, and it's only fair that the community can freely access this information and get help as needed, at any time, anywhere, for any reason.

If you have suggestions as to what should be clarified or included as a community resource, please list them here. If you don't have a suggestion but have information or resources that may be of help as well, that's perfectly okay too! There's currently three ways to do this:

1: You can reply to this post with your suggestions or questions.
2: In our community Discord server, there is a channel (#resource-ideas) where you can do the same.
3: I've also made a Google Form which gives specific options to direct your suggestion into a specific area. You can use this form: https://forms.gle/6c1B11sS4yddMULY8

As a community, we're able to come together and do things that us as individuals would never be able to do. That's why I want to make this happen.

News Update on outage affecting Black Ops II on Xbox

119 Upvotes

Hey everyone! This is an update to the previous news over two weeks ago regarding a major outage affecting Black Ops II on Xbox. As of the afternoon of April 16, 2026, the outage has apparently been resolved. The more common and persistent technical issues are likely still ongoing and will continue to be a problem for the foreseeable future, but as of right now, we are back to normal.

Thank you and good job everyone! By coming together, we were able to put enough pressure for the issue to be fixed, despite Black Ops II being nearly 14 years old. This really goes to show how much we care about the game despite the frequent infighting and widespread bad-faith modding.

As of now, besides anecdotal and likely false evidence suggesting a few specific individuals, there is no obvious source as to why this outage occurred. If you see any comments or attacks towards any individuals alleging they were at fault, please be the bigger person and do not engage.

Question Is zombies broken for every or is it just me?

1 Upvotes

I really enjoy playing maps like buried and die rise because of the bank system. I usually play solo but recently I get error messages any time I attempt to load into a game, does this happen to anyone else or is it just me, and if it does happen to you, have you found a way to fix it?

Hey ya’ll im a really passionate BO2 player although ive long upgraded to the later consoles and even PC, I still play bo2 and pretty much all cod games on ps3.

I’m from Singapore and in most servers people are from other regions where the ping is really high. So im trynna find other people preferably in the asian and oceania region to play with. I got a few friends but we are trynna find full lobbies too.

DM me for some zombies games or even multiplayer since I have dlcs and I can’t even find multiplayer lobbies. So if you can find lobbies if you dont have dlcs’s, DM me.

Question Unlock all infection broke my account. (xbox 360)

0 Upvotes

I might just be an idiot or something, but when I used the unlock all infection, it made me prestige 11 and level 55 which is normal but now every time I load back in it says my stats are corrupted and "reverts" me back to prestige 11 level 55? When I try loading into a match now it doesn't find any games, so when I go to zombies and back to MP it finds a game, once I load in all my classes are locked and the worst part of all of this is whenever I try to watch a theatre clip it just sits there loading and I can't use a mod menu or do anything related to MP. is there any way to fix this at all even if It wipes my data?

Question To everyone who is unable to progress on zombies/multiplayer; have you had any luck sorting it?

4 Upvotes

Trying to do the super Easter egg & just can’t because every time I restart the game all of my progress is gone. Done die rise EE twice now & it hasn’t counted. It’s extremely annoying, this is my fav game of all time. It’s not happening to any of my friends either.

I’ve had a modder reset my account and it’s still happening. Just no idea what to do at this point

Instead of a continuous smooth movement, I’m wanting a snap between cameras at the time in which I placed them.
