Current conclusion
On current Linux main d9c99c9ba4 with release libraries, Call of Duty: Black Ops II runs about 9–10 seconds before throwing at sceVoiceGetPortAttr because voice-activity attribute 1001 on an input port is not implemented.
On an older #9137 intermediate implementation the attribute returned success and zero, and the reporter reached a war-room menu with an additional #5499 graphics change. That old milestone is not a fresh test of today's unmodified main. No new voice-activity backend or reviewed compatibility fix had been merged for this blocker at the time of the report.
Platform test results
Linux · Launch continues 9–10 seconds then aborts before war-room menu on unmodified recent main
IssuesThe source reproduces std::logic_error sceVoiceGetPortAttr: device attribute backend is not implemented about 9–10 seconds after launch. Instrumented call reports port 2, type 0, attr 1001, size 1. Earlier code returned zero for this voice-activity attribute, allowing a menu milestone with graphics PR #5499, but that behavior was intentionally removed in the later #9137 integration.
Build: Recent main d9c99c9ba4; release host libraries. Older intermediate commit 241fa44094 + graphics PR #5499 reportedly reached war-room menu, NOT current main.

Known issues
Linux · Launch continues 9–10 seconds then aborts before war-room menu on unmodified recent main
- Host microphone/device voice activity is not implemented; returning a fabricated constant zero or enabling microphone capture without consent would not be a justified universal fix.
- The previous war-room menu report used different code; there is no documented complete gameplay on current main or stable v0.1.3.
