Call of Duty: Black Ops Cold Waris undoubtedly a popular game, but a bug caused by a server outage is making the game look a lot more active than it is. Though thisCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warproblem is known about and being worked on by Activision, it comes at a frustrating time.
Not only do many players set aside time on the weekends to enjoyCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War, but the fact that the game just recently began its second season of content makes this server outage even more untimely. Players looking to grind out new prestige levels, explore the new 6v6 map Apocalypse, or try out the Death Machine scorestreak are unable to do so. The server problems are not limited to multiplayer either, meaning that Zombies fans are currently unable toenjoy Outbreak mode.

One other troublesome aspect of the outage is that players are unable to access the shop, meaning that fans may miss out on some of the items that are currently in the store – such as thehighly anticipated Samantha Maxis bundle. Unfortunately, this could be the case, as Activision has provided no ETA as to when the servers will be live again. According to the server status page, “the incident is still open,” and Activision is working “as quickly as possible” to bring the game’s servers back online.
While this issue is disappointing for many,someCall of Dutyfansare making jokes about the screen that appears when attempting to log-in tothe game. Telling players that the servers are experiencing a high number of active players, fans are shown an infinite waiting screen where they are placed in an endless queue. As shown in a post from Redditor MyRightOpinion, the player’s wait time is set to an absurd 71,582 minutes. Similar posts exist on Reddit as well, with the bugged screen appearing for many fans.
Hopefully, the outage is fixed quickly likepastCall of Dutyserver outages. For now, though, there is no ETA on when the servers will be live once again, so players should keep their eyes on the social media accounts for Activision, Treyarch, andCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold War. Regularly checking the server status page would help as well, as Activision Support is using it to provide updates every several minutes.
While servers forCall of Duty: Black Ops Cold Warare down on all platforms,otherCall of Dutygamesappear to be fine. As such, players desperate for Battle Pass levels can turn toCall of Duty: Warzone, while multiplayer fans can load upCall of Duty: Modern Warfarefor the time being.
