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

There is just a higher standard for Sony. That's all.

A ps3 exclusive must be, innovate, few if any bugs, fun to play, presented very well, push the industry into something new and be perfect right out of the box.

A multiplat or Xbox game must be, "Really fun to play!@#$"

Some of you twits need to give it a break and stop trying to present it as a PS3 only problem. The PC version is having much more massive problems with connecting online and to add insult to injury, finding not all maps are 9v9 but several are 6v6. This is equivalent to finding your restaurant reservation is for a table in the restroom. Activision, Kotick and Infinity Ward have basically taken a sweaty sock and collectively slapped the faces of PC gamers with it. Like it or lump it. It is unbelievably idiotic they have decided to take a PC franchise which used to have a rock solid online experience and to destroy it for consolization profits. And it is being widely recognized the PC version is a straight port of the 360 version.

- JPS' server got overloaded reaching the maximum traffic it can. It should be up shortly

IGN game MW2 graphics a 10 and this is what they give to KZ2:

9.5 Graphics

Phenomenal visuals prove that Guerrilla either met or surpassed that infamous E3 trailer. Some technical issues hold it back from being a completely flawless masterpiece.

I don't know what "technical" problems they're talking about, but I can't imagine anything worse than low screen resolution, low res textures EVERYWHERE and 2D explosions, smoke and backdrops. I suppose that 60 fps is all you need for a shooter.

16.2 - You should know how it works by now
A game on PS3 has a temporary issue with a big game, and fanboys need to come in here and beat their chest over their $50 xbox live subscription. An issue like this probably won't last longer than 48 hours tops.

17 - give the devs a break.. yeah right
all these people are saying that they don't understand why people aren't patient with game problems. when a company makes $500 million on a product in 24 hours, it should work. no excuses. if you go to a restaurant and order $60 worth of food, do you find it acceptable to wait four days to get it?

Anyway i wish people would stop believing activision is the one putting pressure on the IW good samaritan . these pasts months IW has been behaving like they jerks they might be , on their own .

And IW's boss himself keeps opening his mouth with rather irritating comments such as : “Early on – when we decided to make a sequel – Activision estimated out a ridiculous budget. And we were like: ‘No, we don’t need that’,”

Wich means activision was actually probably reading for a an actually expensive new game and every extra costs it means , given the scope of the franchise .

But no instead IW decided they'd be better off with a rushed COD4 1.5 .

XBOX LIVE works perfectly! You get what you pay for.

That's why Valve doesn't f*ck with Playstation because their online community is horrible. Wait until the numbers come to see what system sold more. If PS3 disappoints KOTICK IS GOING TO HAVE A FIELD DAY BY SAYING "I TOLD YOU SO"

How is playstation already having patches and 360 has no patches. Not bashing PS3 because I have one, but I would never play a FPS on that system. The controller isn't built for it. Even the Walmart commercial for Modern Warfare 2 tells people to buy it for Xbox. You think MS is in bed with the Walton Corp?

@ Baka-akaB

The story was shorter this time around, but set you up for part 3. Good climactic ending, but shorter than first. Capain Price and Soap are true hero's. I wanna see what happens next. I live in Washington DC and I was impressed on how they captured certain aspects in the game. I can honestly see that suburban neighborhood being in a map pack later on as DLC.Running through homes and backyards seems like fun.

The PS3 MW2 multiplayer is totally PLAYABLE.

when PSN game have issues it's because of the dev not PSN. When live games have problems it's because live is a rip off.

i got the game at midnight release, and have been playing ever since, yea they party function is a little broke, but give me a break TOTALLY UNPLAYABLE...

some sites have no class and need to inflate their headline to inflate hits... forget them

if you look at some other stories, apparently Both versions of the game need some fixes, so IW need to get their crap together, stop trying to make one console look bad over the other... I'm sick of this s***

@OPM_UK The amount of players on #MW2 PSN overwhelmed the PSN presence server which updates "what you're doing" and is essential to parties.
