Key Points:
- Activision is investigating modding and hacking issues in the recently released Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 ports on PS4 and PS5, which have led to compromised lobbies and disrupted gameplay.
- The Black Ops 1 port retains vulnerabilities from the PS3 version, including unencrypted save files that modders exploit using jailbroken consoles and online tools, enabling rapid rank-ups and progression manipulation.
- Activision responded by removing certain playlists to mitigate the problem, but concerns persist as modding services are being sold, though no aimbots have been reported yet.
- The developer is actively working on resolving these issues, demonstrating commitment to supporting the ports despite the challenges and initial revenue generated.
