Call of Duty Black Ops 2 players on PS5 are encountering a persistent issue where friends actively playing the game appear offline or are missing from the in-game friend list. This glitch disrupts direct party joining, forcing players to rely on joining recent players, a method that is increasingly unreliable. The problem is generating frustration as it limits social and cooperative gameplay, impacting matchmaking and connectivity on current-generation consoles. Players should be aware of this ongoing operational challenge affecting their multiplayer experience.
- Friends playing BO2 appear offline or invisible in the friend list.
- Direct joining via friends is currently unreliable, pushing players to use recent players instead.
