Halo: Campaign Evolved split screen on PS5: "both accounts will need to have PlayStation Plus and be linked to a Microsoft account. Having these active PlayStation Plus subscriptions will also provide access to online co-op play." https://t.co/sQTErUCn9I
Black Ops and Black Ops 2 on PC and Xbox got some store updates today:
Base game is $40 each
Individual DLCs is $10 (previously $15)
Season Pass is $30 (previously $50)
MTX Camos Personalization Packs are now free
This could be how PlayStation ports are priced too.
Hey @asha_shar, it’s wonderful news that Black Ops 1 and 2 are coming to PS4 and PS5, however Xbox owners are getting left behind here with no communication.
The Xbox 360 servers are hacked to death so nobody plays old multiplayer cods there. It would be amazing if those servers could be upgraded to Xbox One servers to help with this problem.
The Treyarch tweet about these ports was their most liked EVER. There is real interest in being able to boot up a modern day console and play older COD games online without security risks or cheaters in every lobby, I personally had all my original MW2 stats deleted by a hacker when I tried to play it last on Xbox.
Since Xbox owns Call of Duty as a whole, it would at least be worth communicating to your players what’s going on and why PS users get this kind of an update while the franchise you OWN is still unplayable on your own platforms.
I’d be lying if I said this doesn’t feel like a slap in the face to loyal xbox fans. Happy it’s coming to other platforms in a playable form, unhappy the actually company that owns the entire franchise is the one that will be outdated after this.
Activision confirmed that Black Ops 1 and Black Ops 2 on PS4 and PS5 are NOT remasters, just ports, and will have no additional updates.
The games are coming to modern day PlayStations though and that should mean brand new servers with no hackers (for a bit 🙏)
