I find that weird seeing as only a couple thousand play MW2 and 3 now… can hardly find a lobby.  
But if you find one, and its full of cheaters, its not like you can just find another one because matchmaking will put you back in the same one you were before:(

300,000 players? That’s surprising! Don’t get me wrong, the first Black Ops is one of the best Call of Duty games but that’s a lot of players for a game from 2010.

The fact that the game is playable on the Xbox One must be a huge factor. It’s amazing that Black Ops players on the Xbox 360 and Xbox One can play together. It really does keep those older games alive.

Yeah. Its unfortunate many games came in late for the backwards compatibility. I remember BO1 was one of the earlier ones. But MW2 and 3 only got it a few months ago. May be why they are dead. Their community has moved on from them due to not wanting to switch consoles to play them…
