Microsoft made headlines this past E3 as the second console maker this generation next with Nintendo to support back-compatibility with its previous console. It made clear the incremental steps it’d need to take to bring all of your Xbox 360 games to Xbox One over the course of the next year. Fans can vote for the games they want since then and naturally, the list’s grown pretty large.
The company’s since promised over a hundred back-compatible 360 titles with Xbox One as of this holiday and another hundred to come. That, however, seems to be up to the games’ original publishers as well and Activision’s apparently not one of them.
At today’s Xbox press conference at Gamescom 2015 in Germany, Microsoft unveiled a large banner of the game publishers currently involved in modifying their games to be back-compatible with Xbox One. Capcom, Sega, EA, Ubisoft, 2K, and Bandai Namco’s logos were all among them, but not Activision’s, as you can see below.
When asked on Twitter, Xbox Marketing’s Aaron Greenburg relayed that there were no plans on bringing last-generation’s Call of Duty games to Xbox One from Activision and seemingly no word on any other previous Activision titles either.
@theironfight you should ask @Activision about that

As of now, Call of Duty: Black Ops II remains the highest voted Xbox 360 game by fans to bring to Xbox One with Rockstar Games’s Red Dead Redemption and Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim right behind it.
Tell us, were you keen on playing some old-school Call of Duty on your Xbox One? Or were you fine on jamming away to Black Ops III instead this fall? Let us know in the comments below.
