Not surprised. CoD4 had similar issues at launch and some didn't get fixed until this year. They didn't even bother to add trophies or dualshock compatibility while games before it had incorporated it.

I don't easily forget the wrongs developers and publishers do to gamers. I am the type of dude, i only give you one chance and after that i remember the shafting i received.

I don't intend to purchase this pos until the price lowers and the issues are long gone. Why can't third party devs test their games before release?

Yeah after hearing all the complaints about this game, I'm waiting till Bad Company 2 comes out to get my shooter fix. Infinity Ward dropped the ball with this one and the Battlefield series is making a resurgence.

I mean 9vs9 MAX?!?!
NO dedicated servers?!
10 extra dollars for the PC version?! (Only way to play shooters)

I hope DICE absolutely pwns IW in sales after this failure. Infinity Ward must have been goofing around for the last 2 years. Epic fail IW. Epic Fail.

7 - Why surprised it's buggy?
With so many gamers "can't wait" to play MW2, why surprised the game is buggy? There is no reason for IW/Activiton to ensure the game is mostly bug free before shipping since they already knew million gamers "can't wait" to buy and play it. As long gamers keep "can't wait", games will continue to ship out buggy.

It's all about make the money now and fix it later. Consumers are too stupid to buy broken products anyway.

I stopped buying any games on the release day for a long time because it doesn't make sense to spend $60 for a broken product. Wait for a few weeks and buy it because several patches probably will be out and have fixed most of the nasty bugs.

If "can't wait", then enjoy buggy games. That's the reality.

Only problem I have seen is network lag, people skipping all over the place. This is not every game but frequent.

Sure, some people haven't had problems.. Others have. The nature of the beast is that there shouldn't have been any problems with the final product. This game must've had a MASSIVE budget & to have it released with flaws is a fail.

how did this game get such good ratings, with so many problems when released AND I didnt read anything about the problems in any review.

think about it. most of these problems are likely to be caused by the live servers and increase in players etc etc

when the major sites reviewed the game the mp component will prob have been played with a select few ppl online or even via lan meaning they wouldnt have experienced the problems we're now having.

"both platforms", yes because it's not like this doesn't exist on anything outside of the PS3 or 360.

Glad to know I wasn't just imagining stuff when I didn't get any trophies while playing through the game. The game so far is ok it doesn't really drag me in like the initial CoD: MW.

well at least the patched the trophy problem a day after release and with any luck the party system will be sorted soon (estimated time was by this friday i believe)

seems all 3 versions are having trouble tho (me and each other my housemates all have a different version lol)

for me on ps3 - trophies not working (patched now), parties not working
360 - mate was adding attachements to his guns in custom classes but then when he was playing and selecting the classes ingame they didnt have the attachements!
pc - it keeps freezing for my mate. he reinstalled it and played through the single player again. then it froze on the end credits lol

that I miss the old school nintendo days. When a game was released it had to be good. There were no patches or updates.

22 - i may be alone here
but i think the online GAMEPLAY is PERFECT... WAY better than the first, ive had a few party issues, where it wasn't letting me or my friends connect, but hopefully that will be fixed soon.

The online is faster, better guns, better organized, WAY more tools, the only problem i have with the multiplayer is you STILL can run and reload at the same time... WTF is that all about?

I have the PS3 version and completed the single player and some spec ops with no problems. Haven't played multi-player yet though.
The game has been patched twice, yesterday and today.

26 - Speak for the PS3..Xbox 360 has ZERO problems..AMAZING eperience
LOL @ the same old sites trying to ruin the buzz by pretending there are sooo many problems with the game.

The best part is one person online pretending it took 4 hours to finish the single player and then seeing these clear LIARS say it took them the same time.

I played it on the equivalant of normal and beat in at 7:55. The SP not only lived up to the controversy hype; but it also outdid COD 4.

The online for the 360 has ZERO problems. It doesnt take an eon to get on and there is ZERO lag. The host migration also is inb perfect form whem the host leaves mid game.

Don't be fooled by these internet haters. The same people bashing the game now are the exact same people who were bashing it prior to launch.

It will have zero impact on the outcome. THIS is the game that we will be playing deep into 2010 as well as 2011.

Thanks for capitalizing ZERO so many times. The game has been dumbed down for the masses. You need ZERO skill to beat it now.

Who knew the biggest,most highly anticipated game in the world would also be the biggest flop to come out in the gaming world. I read on Activisions site there are people even having problems with the night vision goggles that came with the game feel sorry for those who bought it.

LMFAO @ people actually calling a game that sell 7 million copies in one day a 'flop'.

So the PS3 fans are having issues with the server (cough: Socom) and wait a minute all there were a couple of goggle out of 7 million that didn't work right.

Yup! That definately the definition of a 'flop'

This site is hilarious.
