Modern Warfare 2 Plagued w/ Issues, Fix Coming Soon on Both Platforms

If you picked up the latest and arguably most popular game of the year, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, then you probably have experienced some technical issues with it. Users of both the Xbox 360 and PS3 have complained about severe online multiplayer issues, as well as problems with unlockables...

that what happens when you don't have an open beta of the MP mode.

IW is really on a roll!

WildArmed5306d ago

lol.
most games come out with some issues now.
What happened to polished games? o_O

MGRogue20175306d ago

Problems??

I haven't come across any & I've completed the game, 7 hours altogether.

Multiplayer seems fine too.

Lionsguard5306d ago

Yes, because it's not happening to you, it's not happening to no one else. So far I haven't been able to invite any of my friends and it's frozen on me once. Nothing too serious but yea, let me invite my friends damnit.

hakis865306d ago

Lol, that picture is going to hurt someones feelings :P

@skv007: UC2 was actually very polished IMO

nycredude5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

Spent 4 hours playing the sp and I am at DC now. With the exception of several levels the game almost put me to sleep. I don't know what it is but the game is bland and the graphics OMFG IGN's 10 for graphics is without a doubt the most overated BS I've ever seen. Only 2 hours in before and I was already thinking I will trade this in when I am done with sp. I loved the first MW and IMO it's the better of the two. It could be that it was something fresh when it release 2 years ago because MW2 just feels so played out. It is IMO without a doubt completely overhyped and doesn't deserve 9.5 to 10. I would say between 8.5-9.

Imagine my surprised when I tried multiplayer to find out it wasn't working and frozed on me while looking for players!

I am officially spoiled by Sony exclusives. This game can't hold a candle to Killzone 2 or Uncharted 2, heck both Rachet games on the Ps3 is more fun than this. Crap. Trading in after sp for Assassin's Creed and GOW collection.

Sorry for sounding so negative but I bought into the hype and I am really disappointed. Too much brauns and not enough brains. This game is nothing but a testosterone fest geared towards younger players.

This will be the last COD game I ever buy.

Edit: This game is severely overated. The tech is last gen low res crap, story is complete crap, clipping, multiplayer is broke, so much of the same shiat that has been done 5 times before in just this franchise and yet all the reviews are 9.5 to 10 across the board!? WTF happened to gaming reviews?

nix5306d ago (Edited 5306d ago )

first they make you pay for the gimped game, then show promises of updating it with a firmware.

this is here to stay, guys. sadly, this is here to stay.

can we collectively do something about all this?

@nycredude:

you know.. all the "over-rated" rating is a good thing. people will soon stop believing the sites who's reviewing. i stopped believing in IGN when they reviewed Heavenly Sword and GTA IV. one was under-rated and the other one was over-rated.

it's good for the industry. hopefully, people will wake up one day.

and yeah.. 10/10 for graphics was the killer!

WildArmed5306d ago

I havnt played U2 yet (I'm working on it!), but judging by how polished UDF was, i can expect the same calibur on it.

MGS4 was a really polished game too.
I guess with multiplayer involved something is going to screw up

TheReaper425306d ago

i didn't get to play uncharted 2 yet. Been busy testing out the MAG beta.. can't put the controller down..

Apocwhen5306d ago

"first they make you pay for the gimped game, then show promises of updating it with a firmware.

Stop talking FUD. They've already pushed out a patch to fix the trophy issues and say till will have another on friday for party invite issues.

nix5306d ago

Orange Box says "hi".

i was talking in general terms - the next gen industry. not MW2 in specific.

Syronicus5306d ago

If you think it is fine then you have not tried to invite your buddies into a lobby and then start a game. Host migration is a bit off and the invite process is buggy. I trust they will fix it byu friday but until then, even in MP the best way to play is solo.

sikbeta5306d ago

Why this article don't surprised me....

r3xmund15306d ago

Finished SP (veteran) 7.5 hours, levelled up to 29 MP All achievements & unlockables FINE!

This story is flamebait, traffic hungry trash!

nycredude5305d ago

Reaper and Sky. If you haven't bought MW2 yet, save your money and buy Uncharted 2 instead. It's by far the superior game and experience and is an example of how to develop a game for the fans, not the money.

Alcon5305d ago (Edited 5305d ago )

I've got some problems.
I played yesterday during the night (on the PS3) for about 2h online without a problem. I started to play again today, but after some time, while I was in the lobby I couldn't do anything anymore (as if it froze). So I quit the game and restart it but now when I try to get online I'm stuck at the Online Status, so now I can't play MP.
Hope they fix this sh*t soon.

edit: BTW: since the first patch (1.01) I have problems syncing my trophies. Never had a problem before this patch. I don't even know why they needed to release this patch, because it's clearly a broken one

Beast_Master5305d ago

I couldn't connect with any friends, but the trophies seemed to work fine. I think I agree with everyone else this version is missing something, just feels bland. When looking back on this series I think more people will remember the original MW more fondly than this iteration. I even had a few guys on my friends list that where playing MW2, and by the end of the night where back to MW1.

frostypants5305d ago (Edited 5305d ago )

I find it interesting that PC fanboys like to complain about their games getting "console-ized". Releasing a game with this many bugs and patching it later used to be restricted to the PC world. In this sense, console gaming is getting PC-ized. This is unacceptable. Having an HD and internet is great for allowing improvements to a game, but not when it's used as an excuse to sell unfinished products. The higher level of QA for console games was one big reason I bought one to go with my PC in the first place. This sucks.

How did IW manage to release such a buggy version of what is essentially an update of an older game? Having any MP issues at this point is ridiculous.

Greywulf5305d ago (Edited 5305d ago )

They made Modern Warfare, and I'm pretty sure they understand how consoles work. They didn't upgrade the engine, so whats the excuse?

No, this is what happens when you have a company that knows people will buy it no matter what.

But hey, everyone is so excited that MW2 will sell more than tranformers! So.. thats better than having a good game. There is a reason people boycotted this game & Activisions actions towards gaming. At a time where everyone is hurting financially, they raise the price of their game at the same time as removing features for the original supporter of the title. Now the game is more buggy and less polished than the first..

BUT man is that airport scene sweet!- right?

Doctor Phil5305d ago

Im sure I would love this game, if I didn't have KZ2.

When playing MW2 i feel like a balloon with a gun, drifting around in plastic-land killing Kent-dolls. But it is kind of fun in it's own way.

mikepmcc5305d ago

All lies, the game is not "plagued" with issues, after completing the campaign and level 10 on multiplayer. It still baffles me why people are hating on this game so much, it's fantastic.

Either you're lying or you haven't updated your trophies.

MRMagoo1235305d ago

why would he have to be lying i have completed single player and i have no trophies i only just got the ability to collect them today via the 1.2 patch so i have to go all the way thru veteran again to get them.

on topic i think the mp is fine untill i got the newest patch now when i go to mp it stays on connecting to matchmaker server and doesnt go anywhere i am hoping its just IW making new servers for the amount of ppl playing the game i got to lvl 30 by the end of last nights session and i wanna carry on today sometime.The only problem i have had besides that is the one i mentioned above and that was not having trophies they wherent even in the trophies section it said the game had no trophies till the new patch today.

STONEY45305d ago

Yeah, I've heard about the trophy issue, so ignore the last comment.

swiftshot935306d ago

If they can fix trophies by Friday then that'll be cool. They should be on friend invites too.
Also we need a patch to get rid of the dumb kool-aid crap off the screen when you get hit. The old system was much better.

mikepmcc5305d ago

lol, it looks like someone threw a jar of jam in your face. I got used to it though.

T3L3PROOF5305d ago

I also think the Blood on your screen is annoying, it gets very distracting and it's hard to see where you are going when you are getting shot at.

Also another thing that is annoying is the way we have to invite our friends, now we cant invite multiple friends at once, they are never able to connect, and it over floods your INBOX. Not to mention. I think I.W. messed up on the online on this one, hopefully they will fix it though.

MRMagoo1235305d ago

you ever think that the point is the blood on the screen is to make it harder to see where you are going and disorientate you i mean you are getting shot after all thats the whole point.but then again maybe thats too much logic.

i3eyond the Circle5306d ago

No probs for me so far.

Been enjoying every minute.

Sorry for the people experiencing this tho.

4point7BillionLoss5306d ago

a patch consisting of a 74 hour download followed by a 3 day install for the PS3 version coming soon.

xbox patch will download AND install in under a minute and fix exactly 3 buggy glitches.

poor droids

MastaMold5305d ago

Activision & IW don't care much for the consumer, ppl be wise when u spend money

don't buy garbage. The More You Know!

ELite_Ghost5305d ago

4.7 b1tch. U have no fwcking life....

Danusaf5306d ago

I am pissed about these issues.. I got the game for both ps3 and 360 and I am pissed about the problems that both are having.. The multiplayer is loaded with problems on the 360 and there are no trophies loading up on the PS3...

I can understand the multiplayer issues.. But how they hell did the trophies problem not get fixed before the game came out!!! Did they not test it or did they just not give a crap!!????

On top of that there is way to much clipping going on... have u seen the guy sitting on top of the hummer at the beginning of the game.. if u look inside the car, his legs are almost half way through the car!

velcry5306d ago

You buying it for someone else in your household too? Like, you game on the Xbox, and your brother games on the PS3?

Because otherwise I can't think of why anyone would need two copies of this game, on separate platforms.

talltony5306d ago

I got it for 360 and my bro is playing it on ps3 Right now. But maybe he has friends on both consoles and just wants to play with them. Btw I just beat it and it was pretty freakin sick even on veteran.

MW3 shouldn’t leave Modern Warfare 2’s overlooked playlist behind

Modern Warfare 3 is set to be one of the biggest COD games yet features-wise, but it shouldn't leave out one of the best MW2 game modes in the rear view mirror.

Modern Warfare 2 Adds Pay-to-Win Items With Thermal Scope and Merlin the Dog, Here's How They Work

Some alleged Modern Warfare 2 pay-to-win elements were recently added, see what they are here and how they work.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

The DOG is legit Broken if ur hiding in a room or grass he turns his head even if ur behind a closed door he turns his head and barks letting them know where u at thats PAY TO WIN!!!!!

LucasRuinedChildhood285d ago

I hope all the assholes who buy these get stuck in lobbies with each other. I skipped new COD games for a long time and a short time with MW2 convinced me to go back to on a hiatus.

With the skill-based matchmaking (engagement-based would be more accurate), I imagine this will make the game even more miserable for most players when the matchmaking has decided it's time for a tough lobby.

I played the OG MW2 recently on the Series X and it's disheartening how much more fun it is. I don't even care about the balance issues anymore. lol

PunksOnN4G285d ago

My friends dont play with me anymore i am former pro player and i even streamed on MLG for RX gaming the team i played for... My KD is always high 5-6kd my friends who i went to school with are not good wht so ever so with SBMM kicking in its always putting us in TOP TIER lobbys and they cant hang now they dont even tell me when they getting on LOL

ManMarmalade284d ago

I recently started playing OG MW2 again and I'm having a blast. Feels like I'm in high school again.

fr0sty285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Welcome to COD under MS. It's all downhill from here, they're going to be looking to make that $68B back as fast as possible, at any expense to the player.

StarkR3ality284d ago

The deal hasn't even closed yet you pleb. CoD has been doing stuff like this since the loot boxes in WWII.

Nice try though pal.

TheColbertinator284d ago

Activision has never needed Microsoft or anybody for that matter to act like greedy bastards

PunksOnN4G284d ago

why did my 2nd comment about SBMM get downvited LOL?? Do we have people who Enjoy trash SBMM tbh make sense it caters to LOW KD players and u will never get better playing with the same trahs everyday LOL

andy85285d ago

Probably gonna see more of this BS once the deal is fully done..Gotta recoup that 70B.

Jin_Sakai285d ago (Edited 285d ago )

Look at Minecraft. The game hasn’t went anywhere since Microsoft bought them. No 4K, no 120fps, no graphics pack, and no Ray Tracing. Just some new biomes, mobs, and more skins as usual.

Same could be said about Rare. Who knows what will happen to Activision once they’re under Microsoft’s roof. We can all take a good guess though.

PunksOnN4G285d ago

TBH they did update it by accident then they pulled the update down on xsx and xss i remeber the XSX version having ray tracing but the S did not. Then after people seen that it was updated it was removed that same day

peppeaccardo285d ago

No way !!! Nobody wouild think they would monetize on items that weak asses will use to get advantage during multiplayer action !!! I would never think they would do that ... I mean is a free to play game after all ! /S
Wait once M$ will put their greasy hands all over Activizion and you will see what awaits the "lucky" ones who will play this slot machine of a game. Sooooo Lame !

jznrpg285d ago

They way it works is you give them money and more money and more money.

anast284d ago

It's a true phenomenon that people haven't figured this out yet.
