Where's the CoD4 Patch for PAL Territories?

PS3 Blog-net writes: "I remember North American CoD4 owners were able to download a patch for CoD4 that did the following:

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."

Yeah i hate it and this morning i discovered that i was hosting a match even though all i did was say 'Find Game'.

Vip3r5947d ago

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.

Afterburn5947d ago

I don't know if you looked or not..
There is a fix for error 33 on the IW forums. It might help you out. We got a patch in the US, but the online service is still awful . Same probs, can't find games, joining game halfway through, can't find anything when in a decent sized party, waitng forever for matchmaking, log in errors. It's total crap.

Absolutely stunning game destroyed by people that had no foresight.
So much fun when it works and it's been terrible for a week now. No response from IW, no response from Activision.

Jandre025946d ago

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

Afterburn5946d ago

Resistance has all of this and so much more and it's over a year old.
The visual aspect of COD is it's only saving feature. The next game that comes along that looks like this and has real features will make this nothing more than a memory. This is supposed to be "next gen" you're as good as your last game.

Neurotoxin5946d ago

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 :(

I really hope we get other activision games on GP soon. My dream would be Scarface but I know the license probably expired

P_Bomb274d ago

Love me some Scarface! I even bought the comics. Yeah, licensing would probably be an impasse.

4Sh0w274d ago

hmmm, coincidence? Either way this is a good sign for gamers after the ABK deal.

porkChop274d ago

I played through Scarface again last year and it still holds up. Such a fun game. I would love for Xbox to get the rights back to remaster Scarface and make a sequel. It sold well and they had plans for Scarface 2, 3, and 4. With how long it takes Rockstar to make games the market is wide open.

TheColbertinator274d ago

That game was so much fun. Expected a cheap GTA clone but it was a good drug empire building game.

shinoff2183274d ago

They didn't just have plans but there's actual gameplay out there for scarface 2

neutralgamer1992274d ago

Seriously man we need games like

True crime
Sleeping dogs
Watch dogs( more like original not legion)
And proper saints row

GTA can’t be the only option we need other games

P_Bomb274d ago

@neutral
Gun was Activision as well. Nice open world Wild West there imo.

neutralgamer1992272d ago

Gun is such a underrated game

None of those games had dedicated servers on console in the first place? Were always player hosted. Did something change?

Rutaprkl274d ago

Older cods like Mw, Mw2 and WaW were way better than Call of Dutys nowadays

GoodGuy09273d ago

Make activision remaster mw2 (2009) multiplayer please xbox.

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare II Alone Mission Crashes And Is Unplayable For Many

Multiplayer has worked fine but the campaign has crashed frequently and required a verification of files to continue. The Alone mission has been unplayable and it crashes at random times as seen in this video and others have reported the issue.

Garethvk524d ago

I have been working with Activision and they have no fix as of yet. I got past it yesterday but it crashed 3x before I completed the level. Run a defrag or optimize your drive, verify files, run a quick virus scan, and play. After each crash, verify files again and play. Not ideal but it did let me complete it. PC on Steam.
