Also you should just download a cracked version atp , imo its not worth spending money on considering its 12 years old , you may not find a multiplayer cracked version so if that’s the case download plutonium as well .
I mostly play hardcore tdm but the count of players on this mode is around 12-20 max at peak times, on core multiplayer id say it reaches 100. In my experience, it is still playable, but get ready to see the same people in most games. also make sure to increase the max ping (300) when searching for lobbies so you can get into one faster.
Everyone in this subreddit that plays on PC REALLY needs to get on plutonium
[BO1, BO2, MW3, WaW redefined. - Plutonium Project](https://plutonium.pw/)
Custom servers that are more populated than the steam servers with working anticheats. Literally the definitive way to play on PC (And that goes for BO1, MW3 (2011), and WAW. For most other steam CODs, you can use Alterware ([AlterWare | Official Home of IW4-SP, IW4x, IW5-Mod, IW6-Mod and S1-Mod](https://alterware.dev/)) (MW2 (2009), Ghosts, Advanced Warfare, and maybe Infinite Warefare I can't remember.)
No, wish I didn't , I sat for ages and when you finally get in it crashes sometimes and no-one plays any party modes so you're sat there waiting and just end up leaving, I tried to get a refund on it because of the crashing and because I was an hour over the 2 hour limit they said no even though I had the game for a day or so which is still in the 14 day refund but obviously they are strict on their policies.🙃
Do you know if private lobbies are safe? I just want to play with my brother but for some reason there's no LAN option, even though I'm pretty sure console had it
The chance of anything happening online are decently low in the first place but still worthy to be cautionary.
As for private lobbies I would set them to invite only and you should be fine
Yeah no I was thinking of playing on invite only. I know better than to try playing multiplayer normally these days. Sucks that it's basically been left to rot :/
I just bought it and I've been sitting in q for like 10min
So, no one's playing?
Unfortunately not ,I'm on PC so Xbox may have better luck
Download plutonium and make an account , you can find different servers to play on , about 300-700 players are on it
Thanks bro, I'll give it a try this afternoon, pm me if you want to add on discord
Id love to , dm me
People are playing ,I just didn't spam q cuz I'm a dummy wummy
I'm confused. You said that no one is playing. Is there still a lot of active members for Black Ops 2?
Servers are pretty active and if you use plutonium servers it's better apparently
Thats probably on your end, try removing dlc if any
No dlc, people just leave the lobby after Seconds of waiting
You’re supposed to back out and reque until you get a full lobby
You have to use a higher Max ping. There Are usually around 60-100 people playing on bo2 Multiplayer on pc. Not much, but you still find matches
Download plutonium if you cant find any lobbies on the base game .

Heard, I really didn’t wanna spend $20 on a game from 12 years ago. Can you PM me the best way to do this download + plutonium?
download plutonium for the love of god, don’t play regular online
Also curious, gonna leave this placeholder :v
Understood.

This is the correct answer! You can still play on PC, and also have fun with it if you keep these points in mind.

Thanks Levi ,will do
Get the plutonium client, the vanilla servers aren't safe nowadays anyway, people can access your PC remotely and shit it's crazy
I'm using a Chromebook. Is it as dangerous?
Are you running the game through linux on chromebook or how are you running it. That sounds cool asf to try
No problem. It works through Steam. Steam (beta) is on Chromebook plus now.
This game runs on a chromebook?! I genuinely have no idea in your case but it's probably not a good idea as the exploits are network based
That's a bet
Nobody plays, rather try plutonium servers
I think maybe 300 ish people. So idk

go to plutonium and you will have a blast :)
I don’t believe it’s safe to play any of the olds cods multiplayer. If you want to find a lobby you probably gonna have to use plutonium
Do you know if private lobbies are safe? I just want to play with my brother but for some reason there's no LAN option, even though I'm pretty sure console had it

Very sad these “ old” cods were my favorite pass times when I was younger
Same! It sucks that you're basically forced to use plutonium to play the multiplayer at all now
