Players attempting to engage in online matches of Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 may encounter severe disruptions, as an infamous hacker reportedly active in the game's community has resurfaced. The hacker, known for targeting the title in the past, is allegedly back and actively interfering with the game's online infrastructure.
Details surrounding the extent of the current disruption remain scarce, but reports suggest that the hacker's activities are making the multiplayer experience unplayable or highly unstable for those on Sony's latest and previous generation consoles. This resurgence brings back memories of the game's troubled past with online cheating and hacking, which has plagued many older Call of Duty titles.
Black Ops 2, originally released in 2012, continues to maintain a dedicated player base, drawn to its classic multiplayer modes. However, the alleged return of this disruptive hacker threatens to undermine the efforts of players seeking to enjoy the game's legacy online. It remains to be seen whether Activision or its development partners will address these new exploits and attempt to secure the game's servers once more.
