Players revisiting Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 on PlayStation 5 are reporting widespread security concerns following reports of a notorious player account targeting the game's servers. The individual, identified by the community as "C Isn’t Sharp," is reportedly capable of disrupting matches and negatively impacting user account data.
Reported Consequences for Players
The community has documented several malicious behaviors linked to this account, which extend beyond simple lobby disruptions. Reported consequences for encountering this user include:
- Forced disconnection from active game lobbies.
- Inability to modify custom classes.
- Unauthorized changes to custom class names.
- Unexpected alteration of player statistics, including forced rank changes to 16th prestige.
Background and Current Status
These security issues have emerged following the July 9, 2026, release of Black Ops and Black Ops 2 ports for the PlayStation 5. While these releases were intended to provide fans with access to classic titles via fresh servers, the persistence of these exploits has led to calls for intervention from developers and publishers, including Activision, Iron Galaxy, and Treyarch.
While community members and streamers have identified "C Isn’t Sharp" as the most prominent actor, reports suggest that other players are utilizing similar methods to disrupt games. As of now, no official patch or fix has been deployed to address these vulnerabilities. Players are advised to exercise caution and immediately exit lobbies if they encounter suspicious behavior.
