Modern Warfare 2 PS3 Multiplayer Totally Unplayable

After the second update arrived last night that fixes the trophy glitch, another huge complaint arises. Since multiplayer is a big factor in Modern Warfare 2, downloading the new update won't get you access to the matchmaking allowing you not to play online.

Updates:

Randolf d'Amore, Activision Support, stated that the new patch is not related to the multiplayer not connecting. They had a server outage and they are adding more PS3 servers to meet huge PS3 MP demand.

- JPS' server is back online again

0.1 - If your going to try to pass something as factual

At least post up some links. Cause otherwise, I don't know a single difference in connection speed between both my ps3 and 360.

IW, its called a beta, you should of done it a while ago before you even launched this game. Go learn from guys like DICE. They will teach you a lesson or 2 about making a game running nice and silky smooth, like KZ2 and Resistance.

They did it with Call of Duty 4, I don't see why they thought they should skip it this time around. They ended up in a bigger risk by saying "meh, it'll sell anyways".

Still, I know they're working on it as we speak. IW cares about gamers =)

no, they never done it, on the PS3.

they think they can just port the network code from the 360 to the PS3. they are so dumb that they forget that these are 2 DIFFERENT NETWORKS. i dont understand why people buy these crap games.

people should be ashamed of themselves for falling into the hype of a rehashed game. Especially a game Published by Activision, who just want to rush their games out to make more $$$$$$.

Sorry for my rant.

10 - Multiplatform Games Never work on the PSN Day 1

Multiplatform Games Never work on the PSN Day 1. Anyone who doesn't know that is a PS3 n00b. That's just the way it is - wait a day or two. First party titles typically work great - but the Multiplats are always lazy half-arsed untested garbage (except for maybe 1 or 2 like Burnout Paradise)....unfortunately.

Don't get your knickers in a knot - it'll be fine soon enough.

here you go, this might defuse some of the stupid 360/PS3 bull i see gathering on this thread.

and some PSN MP have ran good out the box on the PS3. And not all of the 360's MP worked well on launch either....Halo3 and Gears 2 come to mind. Hell, the first MW had online issues for both 360 and PS3! i play on both systems!

...I don't think that most of us knew that it will have a 4 hour story mode. I don't think that ANY of us knew that it will have so many problems. I think most of us got the game because of COD4 which was an awesome game. Believe me when I say that the next COD from IW will not be purchased by me unless it has a minimum of 15 hour story mode. Even than I will only buy it used. Never new. I refuse to put money into IW pockes anymore.

14.5 - NO N2n,

IW just posted that they had an outage and are adding more servers! so how is this PSN's fault again? and that's why people are disagreeing with you.

and come on PS3 owners, you knew that MS was cuffing IW balls from the beginning of development. did you really thing that IW would let the 360 have that many problems from the get go? (or publicly announce them to the world like they did the PS3 version)MS has been footing the bill on almost every thing when it comes to this game! look at all the advertisement on tv.....hell, the one Wal-Mart one even says, "the best way to play this game is on the 360"!

Now they are both out in the wild and it would look kinda strange for the PS3 version to run as well as the 360 version when you add. says otherwise!

IW knows who buttered their bread and like they said," this is a business arrangement between IW and MS!"

you are truly retarded. Both versions had issues at launch but were still Playable. This Unknown Piece of Sh*t site probably decided to put ps3 Only just so they can get hits for a Crappy Flamebait Title, & BTW Cross/Party Chat doesnt even work for like 90% of the Playlists on LIVE You Stupid Douche. BTW since you're saying PSN is Crap in your examples compared to LIVE, Remember Post Holidays in 2007, Thanks to Overpopulation on COD4 you're "Superior Service" Crashed for a Week & wasn't Working Properly

bout time this article came up lol...thank god im not all up CODs ass and couldnt care less about FPS games.....i mean ya i did rent it cuz of all the hype and (third person...LOL! joke) but ya i was wandering if anybody was gonna put up the unplayable article

some of my FPS friends are dying right now, if they actually tried on the third person side and gave game specific modes it would have been very nice....the potential is there, but it just seems like it was taped on and not really good

i wont knock the game, i mean ya its a good game (aside from the issues)but that activision logo makes it a nono to me, also im sick to death of the FPS genre, even tho i do admit when this game is fixed it will prob be one of the best, hope to see it back up today!

Look at KZ2 about 97% of the time there's absolutely no problems with the online what so ever and it looks 1000x's better than Generic Warfare 2 but yet Infinity Ward find it so difficult to get it running.
