Black Ops 2's First Patch in Years Adds Only a Modern Warfare 4 Pre-Order Button

Activision pushed Black Ops 2 update 1.08 on August 19 for PS4 and PS5, the 2012 shooter's first title update in years. Instead of fixes or content, it adds a single pre-order menu option for Modern Warfare 4, using Black Ops 2's lasting popularity to funnel players toward this year's release. Longtime players flagged the empty update as promo clutter dropped into a game they still play for its classic multiplayer.
