Players of Call of Duty Black Ops 1 report ongoing matchmaking problems when trying to join online Zombies matches. Despite finding available games, many are placed in empty lobbies with no other players joining. One player confirmed using a wired Ethernet connection and having UPnP disabled, yet still encountered connection errors. Joining friends’ lobbies works without issue, indicating the problem likely lies with matchmaking or server connectivity rather than individual network setups. This disrupts the multiplayer Zombies experience and may reduce player engagement in this mode.
- Issue persists despite wired Ethernet and UPnP disabled.
- Joining friends’ lobbies remains functional.
