‘Call of Duty: Black Ops 2’
leaderboards are now working again
After an update was applied to “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2” earlier this morning, the game experienced issues regarding its multiplayer leaderboards and the ranking system was disabled for repair. While players were still able to play online matches in the game, none of the results of those matches were getting recorded for purposes of updating the leaderboard rankings in “Call of Duty: Black Ops 2”.
