The recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 PlayStation 4 and 5 ports continue to get new updates, which is great news for the millions who caused the game to shoot up PlayStation's most-played charts .
The short version
- Though the ports have many technical shortcomings , one issue in particular has been a sticking point, and it is related to the game's server security.
- Immediately at launch, players were exposed to the hacks and cheats plaguing the PS3 and Xbox 360 originals , but Activision has been making headway into preventing those exploits from ruining the experience in the newer versions of the games.
- The most recent update is especially notable as it may scare legitimate players.
What happened
As the developer noted on the official Call of Duty Updates account on X , you may briefly see a message saying you've been banned. This is an unfortunate side effect of some backend updates recently introduced to improve match integrity.
Why it matters
"While this work is underway, some players may briefly see an account ban notice when they're removed from a match or session so our systems can correctly apply updated account data," the X post reads.
