Call of Duty Classics on Xbox 360 Experience a Thrilling Revival
If you thought the glory days of classic Call of Duty games on Xbox 360 were over, think again! Thanks to a recent server update, the online play for these timeless gems has been reignited, attracting thousands of enthusiastic gamers over the weekend. It’s like a blast from the past with a modern twist!
Among the revived titles, Infinity Ward’s Modern Warfare 3 (2011), Treyarch’s Black Ops 2 (2012), and even the legendary Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare from 2007 have all seen a surge in popularity. It’s impressive to see these games still standing strong, a whole decade after their release.
Now, let’s address the elephant in the room. These older Call of Duty games did have their fair share of issues, including hackers, boosters, and cheaters. However, word got out last week that some secret wizardry was done to level up the Xbox 360 versions, resulting in stable online play once again. And boy, did the fans respond!
According to reports, thousands of players flocked to Xbox 360 to immerse themselves in the fast-paced action. Black Ops 2 boasted an impressive 10,000+ players, while Modern Warfare 3 had over 7,000 active soldiers ready for battle. These numbers may not be 100% accurate, but they give us a pretty good idea of the overwhelming interest.
Surprisingly, the matchmaking servers for these games on PC and PlayStation 3 still seem to be stuck in the past, plagued by issues. So, if you’re craving that adrenaline rush, Microsoft’s trusty old console is the place to be. And here’s the cherry on top: Xbox Series X and S owners can relive the glory days without dusting off their vintage Xbox 360. Thank you, backwards compatibility!

But wait, there’s more! With Microsoft’s colossal $69 billion buyout of Activision Blizzard on the horizon, and the recently announced deal between Microsoft and Sony to keep Call of Duty on PlayStation for the next decade, the timing of this revival is intriguing. Rumor has it that a new Modern Warfare 3 game is on its way, adding fuel to the fire.
Could it be that Microsoft and Activision are gearing up to unleash the entire Call of Duty back catalog on Game Pass? It’s a tantalizing thought. Until we receive official word, most of these classic Call of Duty games can be found on sale for Xbox, exciting the nostalgic hearts of gamers everywhere. We’ve reached out to Activision for comment, so stay tuned!
