Here's the info: "The main focus of Black Ops 2 has been on the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, which has left a lot of PC version related questions unanswered. Luckily Treyarch has just released new information on the PC versions online security, matchmaking and dedicated servers: Black Ops 2 PC is going to "feature" both matchmaking and dedicated servers, but not like in Modern Warfare 3. Last year's MW3's matchmaking was the only way to gain levels, but it was completely P2P (Peer 2 Peer) based, while the dedicated servers were unranked. The BO2 PC version is taking a step in the right direction, but it's still a bit of a hit and miss: there won't be dedicated servers available, but the matchmaking system will use them - this should in theory prevent majority of the hacks that are used in P2P matches. Due to this new system every public match and League Play will be done via matchmaking lobbies that run on dedicated servers. There will be no way to rent servers and the server files won't be released - this is to protect the game from hacking and other kinds of cheating. Treyarch will be providing a huge number of servers around the globe for free. PunkBuster won't be used; instead the PC version is using Treyarch's own proprietary server-side anti-cheat technology that will be integrated with Steam's VAC. There will be a new zero tolerance policy on cheating: bans are permanent. Last but not least, Treyarch also announced that there won't be any mod tools available due to technical reasons and licensing restrictions."

Just some info regarding Treyarch's servers Pc related but ps3 servers should be setup similar....

now if rumours are correct and upon login you go through authentication and there checks through up a fail because of some type of mismatch (files/cfw...who knows) and your redirected to a blank entity and set to refuse access to servers (game shows ver 27 20.0.-1 top right), blacklisting your ip/mac/psnid ect.

but if checks pass you connect ( game show ver# 27 [20.130.15.1452910] )

i dunno if this is coincidence but look at the game versions for a second...

Cannot connect -ver: 27 (20.0.-1)
connected: ver: 27 (20.130.15.1452910)

now this is only a theory but if someone is good with dns lookup and snooping you could get alot more info

20.0.-1 - not valid ip range 20.0.0.1 would be but its
VERSION NUMBER: 27[20130.15.1452910] break this down and you get 20.130.15.145 using port 2910

dapped this in google and got a quick result

the whole range is located in the same place setup around a year ago?

i smell conspiracy lol but who knows worth looking into no doubt.....

THIS.
I tested this theory and had the same outcome. I did a data transfer from CFW with multiman(deleted GAMES folder before transfer) and reactpsn to my 3k, made a new PSN account logged in had a few minutes in the game matchmaking lobbies then got kicked. Made a couple more dummy accounts after the intial kick all with similar results. Put another drive into the same PS3 fired up a diff account and was allgood.

PS. My other OFW console(that has no homebrew or modded patches) that has the games that still function from ReactPSN after a transfer eg EDAT C00 and PSONE games works perfectly fine with the BO2 servers, and has had no dramas what so ever.

So basically what yore telling us is, if you format the ps3 hd and launch BOPS2 you will get rid of the server error and be able to connect to 3arch servers??

[ICECOLDKILLAH]

someone with cfw and original disc should create a new psn acc and format his hdd to test if he can play blops2 with a cfw without homebrew on it, then we know if they detect cfw or the homebrew

[Evi1d33d]

But does that mean you'll get banned again if you starting using homebrew? Then no thanks.
