In an unexpected move, Activision has announced server maintenance for ten classic Call of Duty titles, including fan favorites like Black Ops 2, World at War, and the original Modern Warfare 2. The maintenance is scheduled for July 2, though the company hasn't revealed the purpose behind this unusual update for older games.

While newer Call of Duty entries like Black Ops 6 regularly receive updates, it's rare to see attention given to titles from the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 era. This development has left the gaming community buzzing with theories about what might be coming to these classic shooters.

The timing coincides with the launch of Call of Duty's Season 4 Reloaded update, which brings new content to current titles. However, the maintenance window (3 AM to 7 AM PT on July 2) will affect multiple games across different generations, including:

• Modern Warfare 2 (2009)
• Black Ops (2010)
• Modern Warfare 3 (2011)
• Black Ops 2 (2012)
• Ghosts (2013)
• Advanced Warfare (2014)
• Black Ops 3 (2015)
• World War 2 (2017)
• Modern Warfare 2 (2022)
• Modern Warfare 3 (2023)

Community speculation ranges from potential Xbox Game Pass additions to much-needed anti-cheat improvements for older titles. Some players note that several of these games are already available through Game Pass, making this theory less likely for those particular entries.

Latest Game Information

The maintenance comes shortly after Call of Duty: WW2 joined Xbox Game Pass, becoming the fourth title in the franchise available through the service. This has led some to believe Activision and Microsoft may be preparing to add more classic Call of Duty games to the subscription platform.
