The real reason Black Ops II isn’t on Xbox backward compatibility

4.9
Xbox Chief Phil Spencer reminded gamers that Xbox doesn’t solely control which games come to backward compatibility.

Gamers have been crying out for Call of Duty: Black Ops II to come to the Xbox One’s backward compatibility program, their requests seemingly falling on deaf ears. Nearly 200,000 votes have been cast on Microsoft’s website to bring the title to the program, but to no avail. However, when “XboxIsBestBox” and numerous other social media users tweeted at Spencer, it must’ve broken the Xbox Chief’s heart a little bit. He responded by unloading some truth regarding backward compatibility.

So, it looks like fans of the series should turn their attention towards Activision in this case.

VHz Not up to xbox, solely up to activision, treyarch, raven software and sledgehammer games to decide whether their game will be put forward for BC. However we all know how money hungry activision is, so they are likely to create a catch e.g remaster with supply drops or buying special editions of their games to recieve the old one :/


Exactly I refuse to buy IW just for MWR it is a rip off because I ONLY want MWR and that should be an option

I'd prefer Call of Duty 4 to be backwards compatible over Black Ops 2 or Modern Warfare 3.

Never liked the multiplayer of black ops 2 anyway. Modern warfare 1, 2 and 3 were for me so much more enjoyable.

The real reason is, activi$ion wants to sell you a remaster. I used to complain about it, but after they released bo1 on BC. All the hacking etc ruined it so it's no big deal.

Really think they'll just try to make money on a remastered same for MW2.., Seems as if they let Black Ops 1 and W@W out because BO1 doesn't truly deserve a remaster and they seem to be hinting towards a WW2 game again so?? Just my thoughts.

Nah when BO2 is backwards compatibility then I'll buy an Xbox one.

AD4M Fingers crossed lads- BO2 over any game!
I would prefer MW2 any day over any COD hands down! This is my dream to come to next gen!!!

it will happen just give it time

DanielPosted:

I'm glad it's not on BC I absolutely hate that game, The black ops series was terrible in my opinion.

Bo1 was okay but still boring.

SkatesPosted:

Come on Activi$ion we all know you want that $$$. Just imagine how much people would re buy the game because they lost their disc or new players that never played Bo2 and wanna give it a try.
