US Data Center For NAT Server:
Will make all US players connect to US data center and EU users connect to EU data center. This will optimize performance for all users in those areas.
Fixed 'Downloading Game Settings' Error:
Fixed error with conflicting packet interaction.
Port 3095 Issue Corrected:
Players were required to have port 3095 open in order to host. Now players who have port 3095 blocked can still host matches.
Matchmaking Optimization:
Server search will end upon acquiring a certain number of good servers. Added "prefer" servers with best ping, this will optimize and expedite players finding and joining good matches.
I'm not quite sure exactly how long it's been since you guys got the patch, but there hasn't even been a hint of when PAL owners of CoD4 will be able to download the patch.
I'm getting pretty annoyed having to wait up to 15 mins to play a game, only for it to say "lobby closed" when it does find a game and it's about o begin or for the game to spaz out just as the countdown timer has finished and going straight to the end of round screen."
MW 2019 is five years old at this point and on previous gen hardware, but it is still the best looking Call of Duty game to date.
MW was an excellent videogame. They messed up Spec Ops big time, but aside from this it was a huge step in the right direction initially. Most notably, at launch it seemed to come from a very cohesive creative vision that was felt across gameplay, to story to art style/visual direction. It was also very notably written by prominent ex-Naughty Dog guys that quit almost immediately before release.
That COMPLETELY dissolved through post-launch content and the full pivot to a "cross-mode" narrative that completely obliterated the cohesion in overall story direction. Warzone then "became" the new face of Call of Duty and the franchise completely removed itself from anything remotely creatively "good". It is a pure money machine, so I kinda get why they're doing it....but I personally completely lost interest.
I would love to see Infinity Ward move off CoD and get to make their own product with full control. They clearly have some massive talent in their ranks but it's perverted by Activision's corporate interests.
Call Of Duty is back with its yearly instalment, but is Modern Warfare 3 breaking new ground, or just a lazy cash grab? The answer may not surprise you in today's review from JDR.
The original Modern Warfare and Modern Warfare 2 games have been drawing players back in
I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired
None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?
Yeah i hate it and this morning i discovered that i was hosting a match even though all i did was say 'Find Game'.
I keep getting an "Can't connect to Activision Matchmaking (error: 33)" message each time I try to play it unless it's after 12am. Really annoying.
Why isnt there Clan Support, Friend Invites, or Clan invites on the PS3 version? I mean, its not that they cant do it, they jsut havent. Sony should do it themselves if IW doesnt want to.
People come over and are impressed by the game, but then cant believe how long it takes to find a game, or the fact that I cant add friends, or create a clan in the game. Its horrible
I think i heard its coming around 14 January to Pal Gamers.
Multiplayer is so fun in COD4, once you get the chance to join a game that it :(
