According to reports, after the deployment of the fix, Call of Duty Black Ops from 2010 attracted more than 100,000 simultaneous players on Sunday, and 2011’s Modern Warfare 3 drew over 7,000 players.
Social media users now report that due to the increased interest in these games and the revitalized player base, the problem of hackers and modded lobbies, which was once significant in some older Call of Duty titles, is becoming far less prevalent.
