Security Concerns in Black Ops 2
While the retro titles are seeing high demand, the Black Ops 2 port is currently facing significant technical instability. A user identified as "C isn’t Sharp" has been reported for disrupting matchmaking, with players claiming the individual can reset account statistics, force players to Master Prestige, or render accounts unplayable.
Activision has issued an update acknowledging the issue, stating the company is “investigating solutions for instances where accounts have been set to incorrect Prestige levels.” Further technical improvements released by the developer include better mid-match lobby backfilling, reduced input delay for 120Hz+ displays, and a fix for smoke grenade visual effects.
Players are advised to exercise caution in public lobbies while investigations into account security continue.
