You’ve probably ran into people with modded accounts tho. I’ve ran into people who go invisible. I just play zombies with friends now. Mostly because the multiplayer is competitive, and some people ruin your experience, like crashing your game, going god mode, or using modded weapons that one hit kill you

[@goodguyben6716]

you can play online on pc, there is a community patch out which helps but it is also recommended to also use a vpn as well. as well never do public matches, always do private matches with people you trust that also use the community patch and make sure you all have the password setup for the lobby too. dont play on playstation but you can on pc and xbox. also it was proven that there is no black ops collection, it was a false rumour created for the nintendo direct.

[@thegeekslays]

If you need a non safe still exploitable community patch and only super close friends that’s you can trust it’s a dead game. My entire point is that the entire real experience is dead which it is

[@goodguyben6716]

​@@thegeekslays truthfully when was the last time the average player played in a public match or without the friends they trust? also the community patch keeps the game alive, its recommended by anyone in the community and is not easily exploitable, the patch is closed source and will be hard for nearly every hacker to bypass easily since its constant updates combat any work arounds. the game might be dead in Activation's eyes but its not in the players, the game still ranked in the top 10 most sold game on Xbox recently and is very often in the top 50 on Steam, if this is the definition of a dead game then nearly every game is dead in your eyes.

[@TOR-_]

@@goodguyben6716brother is bootlicking the fuck out of this shitty ass company, imagine allowing your game to be fucked with this bad and still charging 60$ for it. the game is dead. no one in their right mind would decide to play black ops 3 knowing this is going on unless they really like the game. the fact that you’re sitting here saying “nearly every game is dead in your eyes 👆🤓” is crazy. look at the apex legends situation as well, stop trying to downplay what’s happening and hold these shitty ass companies accountable instead of arguing about the relativity of a game that’s overpriced and missing one of the biggest parts of it which is online play.

I don’t think most people are going to stop playing tbh, from what I can tell (don’t trust this take precautions) it’s not taking over your console it’s ONLY when your active on the servers so if this does start happening just close the game I’d play on a acc that doesn’t have a linked PayPal or Debit/Credit card The GPU critical warning wasn’t the PlayStation it was the game assuming that your GPU was over heating otherwise you would have gotten a PS pop up
