Call of Duty: Black Ops II Now Most Requested Game for Xbox One Backwards Compatibility

Call of Duty: Black Ops II is now the most requested game to get the Xbox One backwards compatibility treatment, as voted by fans.

Back at E3 2015, Microsoft announced that the Xbox One would be gaining backwards compatibility for Xbox 360 games, first for Preview Program members and this winter for everyone. There’s only a small selection of titles available now but there’ll be loads by the time it goes public, and more will be added over time.

So that’s that, but along with the announcement Microsoft also created a poll allowing gamers to vote for the Xbox 360 titles they want to play on their Xbox Ones. The early leader? Red Dead Redemption. Rockstar’s Wild West epic stayed in the top spot for just over a month. Until now! Treyarch’s Black Ops II is now the leader and holds more than 78,000 votes at the time of writing, a couple of thousand ahead of RDR.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that Activision is going to spring into action and flick that backwards compatibility switch on Blops II. The poll is for fans to make their voices heard and nothing else. But it will be interesting to see if Activision does anything about it.

  • Any old Saints Row 1 players out there? I wish that could return to its prime, such a glitched up and funny online world that was! the gang system was brilliant!
  • Man, we really need to rally the internet to get Hannah Montana or My Horse and Me 2 to the top of that list.
  • people need to grow up if the majority of people want this to be back compat the most
  • RDR is a much better game imo but these votes dont count for anything anyway
  • WHY?
  • #3 telling people to grow up. Interesting...
  • And we all know that they would rather bring them out in an HD remake to make even more money so don't see why people would even vote for it. All the more reason for them to see it as a money grabbing move
  • rather have red dead.
  • Anyone know why black ops 2? As personally cod 4,mw2 and blops 1 were far better I thought.
  • I'm going to bet that within 1-2 years, we'll see a CoD collection similar to Halo but it'll be even more of a disaster
  • Screw that. I want Ninja Gaiden games and jrpgs
  • /sigh
  • So many great games on the 360 deserving of BC, and people are voting for this pile of crap? And I think it's fairly obvious with the recent Prototype releases that Activision won't be offering BC on ANY of their 360 catalogue...
  • not bothered either way with this, i own an x1 but im still not gonna let my 360 gather dust anytime soon.
  • Why? Just play BOP3 when it releases this year.
  • be nice if they di, thatway icould get my remaining achevements in the game without having ot switch y 360 on
  • The way I look at this backwards compatibility is if it's a gradual thing it would make sense for the first wave of games to come over to be unlike what is already there. Black ops?? CoD games are all the same so no need to release something more or less already available in new gen form. I enjoyed RDR but XB1 already has enough open world games. My preferred games for the next batch would be XCom and a few JRPGs as the are sorely missed atm. Just my opinion though.
  • BLOPS 2 is already backwards compatible... COD:Ghosts COD:AW upcoming BLOPS 3 Bring on the haters!
  • im wondering when the next Backwards Compatibility games are going to come?? maybe on August??
  • @18 I like what you did there.
  • Was hoping more games would've been added by now. If the publisher has to simply ok it there should be loads more by now.
  • I prefer MW2 over this game.
  • I'm with #11. I want more of my RPG's and such more than anything. I especially want DMC HD COLLECTION. It's going to be great to be able to go back and work on my completion for 360 games again.
  • #7 exactly, you took the words right outta my mouth. Why let people play what they're bought when you can sell it to them again!
  • Remake all call of duty games for Xbox one and I'm still hoping for a remake of Star Wars Republic commando
  • Off all the great CODs available... BLOPS2 really? Really?? Connection issues everywhere. It wasn't who was the better player it was who is host or who has the best connection to the host. What a mess. MW2 MW1 WAW BLOPS1 All a thousand times better, connection was fantastic.
  • @26 You are right with the connection. It sucks most of the time. But BO2 was a very good game! :-) I think they should do a Remaster of MW1-3 and Bo1 and 2
  • I would expect (as long as opted in) that the top 10-20 will all get BC anyway....or maybe am just an optimist.
  • Faith in humanity dwindling.
  • "But it will be interesting to see if Activision does anything about it."... Oh, they'll do something about it alright.. Xbox1 re-master all day.This is just giving them the green light to do it.Acti is all about the money, do you think they'd pass up on a chance like this?
  • I'm not surprised it's a Call of Duty game, but they should be prioritising COD4 and MW2 over Black Ops 2.
  • Not even a top 50 game for the 360. Makes sense that it's number 1.
  • @2 If I could only find a copy of My Horse and Me 2 here in the states. My daughter would love it and I'd reap the easy points. I love backwards compatible on the Xbox One even though I won't ever disconnect my Star Wars 360. Need to get a 2TB for it.
  • I just want Catherine, and Dragon's Dogma. Maybe some Resonance of Fate?
  • I just said fuck it and bought a used 360 off Ebay. Not gonna miss out on playing some old great games just because some devs are gonna act like bitches and not make their games BC.
  • Honestly didnt enjoy blops2 as much as everybody else but atleast RDR is 2nd which I am happy about
  • Sounds like Microsoft broadened the advertising of the poll from just on video game sites to football sites and bottles of Mountain Dew, hence all the Daves and Kevins got wind of it and voted for CoD.
  • @33, I couldn't find one in the US either. Since it's not region locked, I had a PAL version imported from Italy.
  • Wouldn't mind having that 1000g in Afro Samurai again, maybe before the sequel drops. But since I'm throwing out random games, why not take it back even further. Morrowind! Achievements in Morrowind would be really fun, although I think it had them without any points. I remember playing it in my 360 and noticing certain goals to unlock, but I may have just dreamed that.
  • @9 more thn just your opinion. I'm pretty sure that it's generally accepted that those were better. @18 why would people hate on your comment? It's true.
  • SINGULARITY
  • I would rather just have a MW collection with MW, MW2, and MW3, and a Treyarch collection with W@W, Blops, and Blops2
  • If only they'd do a remastered version of BioShock 1 and 2...Missing some Rapture lately.
