Xbox boss delivers some bad news to backward compatibility fans

4.4
There are many people who want Call of Duty: Black Ops II to come to the Xbox One backward compatibility program, however, that doesn’t mean that it’s going to happen any time soon.

Xbox chief Phil Spencer took to Twitter recently to help people in managing their expectations. Generally pretty quiet about third-party games arriving on backwards compatibility, the stress of dealing with so many fans must be weighing on Microsoft, as its staff has become more and more vocal.

Responding to questions about Xbox One backward compatibility on Twitter, Spencer apparently shut down any hope of Call of Duty: Black Ops II arriving next month.

Those with a more optimistic outlook—or the delusional—may declare that there is a possibility that Spencer was responding that he had no comments on Black Ops II—not that the game wouldn’t be arriving in February. Personally, I wouldn’t get my hopes up if I were you.

I personally rather see modern warfare 2.

Good. I would rather have a remaster rather than it being BC. They may not do that, but still have hopes for it.

ChatPosted:

I don't see why they don't, it'll only make more people play the game.. which is a good thing for them considering people will purchase it for xb1 :S but whatever Activision is stupid asf.

I'm glad they are not doing a BC of this I hate Bo2 I always have and always will, The Black Ops series is a load of crap, I'd love to see Mw3 though for sure.

Nicholas I don't know why, or how hard it would be to make this game backwards compatible. It would make a lot of people happy.


Its not Microsofts desicion, its entirely up to Activision if they want to go through with it.


i wouldnt say its not their desicion since the files are already there waiting and treyarch would have to add the xbox ones file to make it work since console is outdated anyways chances are treyarch wont do it nether would activ


I feel like its more of activisions fault.
