Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2’s Leaked PS5 Trophy List Indicates Some Content May Be Missing
Call of Duty: Black Ops 1 and 2 are set to launch on PS4 and PS5 later this month, but recently leaked trophy lists suggest the re-releases may not be complete ports of the original PlayStation 3 versions.
According to data from trophy databases, the updated versions maintain largely identical trophy lists to their PS3 predecessors but with several notable omissions. Multiple trophies related to key gameplay features have been removed entirely, including achievements tied to Theater Mode, League Play, and wager matches.
Theater Mode was a popular feature that allowed players to rewatch recorded matches with free camera control, enabling viewers to capture highlights and create content from multiple angles. This functionality was particularly valuable during the early YouTube era when Call of Duty content creation was booming. The removal of this mode may disappoint players seeking to preserve gameplay memories or create content from these classic titles.
League Play—the competitive ranked system—and wager matches, where players could stake in-game currency on multiplayer outcomes, are also absent from the trophy tracking. This suggests these modes may not be returning with the remaster, representing a significant reduction in content offering since these features were core components of the original multiplayer experience.
The removal of these gameplay modes raises questions about the scope of compromises made during the porting process. Whether these omissions result from technical limitations or deliberate streamlining decisions remains unclear. Players evaluating the PS4 and PS5 versions will need to weigh whether the re-releases provide sufficient value given the missing features.
