Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 is one of the biggest selling games of the year, so some issues online related to servers are expected. But freezes? There’s just no justification to that considering Treyarch is not new to the PS3 hardware. Yes, PlayStation 3 owners all over the world are reporting that the game is freezing their system, and it is simply making it unplayable at times.
Treyarch had messed up the Black Ops PS3 port in 2010, where it not only ran in Sub-HD but performed equally bad on the PlayStation 3. However, Treyarch should have learned their lessons since Infinity Ward always ensures platform parity and we don’t really see all these issues with their games.
So what went wrong? Is the Xbox 360 the only console they care about? That can’t be true since the PS3 game sales are humongous as well. They simply cannot ignore the platform but they know people will buy it in droves. Here are some of the complaints we have received from people.
So if #BlackOps2 is so good why'd it just freeze my ps3 the first three times I try to play it @callofduty

Two matches in an hour and one hard freeze. Another day in the life on #BlackOps2 on the #PS3. Day 4, the PlayStation world held hostage.

Third freeze restart in a row in the last hour on #BlackOps2. My ps3 is NOT liking this @treyarch. Hope you'll fix it when BO2 breaks it.

Play black ops 2 for five minutes. Wait for it to freeze. Turn off PS3. Repeat. #bo2 #blackops2

Dan Amrich, spokesperson for Activision, said that a fix is on the way.
Checked in about the #BlackOps2 PS3 freeze and lobby hiccups -- team is looking into it.

These are just a sample of messages you can see the Treyarch team is getting bombard with on Twitter. We also reported earlier how the PS3 version is a complete mess. Hopefully they will resolve this soon because it’s only about time when people get frustrated and move to another game.
Or not.
