Black Ops 1 is not on the list jet buddy.
You can check it out, this is a list of all the cames that has backwards compatibility:

Yeah, of course its comming. When its comming its another matter.
You know its M$ we talk about here.
Remeber they said Assassin’s Creed II or Halo 3 was the first games to come out with “Games with gold”.
We had to wait 1 month or so fo AC 2 and 3 - 4 months if not more for Halo 3.
So yeah i guess, its on the way. But as said, when its here? We do not know.
Sadly the process for releasing BC games is completely up to the dev and publisher, not Microsoft at all.
Me too! The memories come flooding back…
Of course, but if M$ promise something you have to wait 2 - 3 extra months on it most likely.
But yeah in this case its comming soon, we dont know how long that takes.
You must be patient. They’re doing the best they can…
Halo Reach is on the list. Was it Bungie or 343i that made the decision for that one?
Here’s the new list:

It will of been Bungie that made the decision, they were the original developers after all.
All 343i did was edit a few maps and patch a few glitches.

Im willing to wait at least they know how to gen the previous gen on their system sony cant get ps3 so they went to the ps2?

It’s a bit of both actually. It’s very convoluted and nuanced. It mainly comes down to issues over licensing and copyright. The game developers may or may not build their own game engines. If they “rent” the engine to build their game then they have a limited lease on the game they produce with that engine (or specific version). The same also applies to 3rd party licensing used to build said game. Depending on the relationship with the publisher, the distribution and/or resell rights may belong partly to them and other distributors (i.e. Sony and Microsoft).
Microsoft and Sony didn’t have the forethought with PS1 and Xbox Classic to request redistribution rights for all future console system releases, nor did the developers. Since they didn’t they have to get an okay from all parties or purchase a new license. They did a better job with Xbox 360 and PS3, technical issues aside, because they sort of learned the lesson the second time around but a lot of games at this point are 6-10 years old. There is a lot of legal hassle involved to get an approved emulation. Running it through an emulator/virtual machine technically counts as a zero-revenue resell. In other words, the distributor “resold the game for free” to the same person to run on a newer/different system. That would be a violation of their licensing. It’s not much different than the standard single-user EULA that you sign when you purchase software (i.e. you promise to only use it on one machine or for one person instead of using multiple copies for free or for multiple users).
Basically each party has to check with one another, again, in order to re-release the game(s) for free, including game engineers. If one of the parties went out of business or is under a new parent company than it can complicate matters.
