Call of Duty 2 multiplayer finally patched

took awhile to notice huh joystiq lol..o well..at least its here

There is no post-game lobby afterwards if you aren't hosting the game or part of a Friend's game.

Hey. how about a CoD2 Patch for us PC owners or the game? We need it more

I turned on the 360 to play this game and was pleasantly surprised. It makes a HUGE difference and it is now what it should have been when it was released! Hopefully, all games that come out in the future for XBL should be enabled this well at the least. Finally! Minimal to no lag! =)

why would they add name tags in-game? I hope it isn't there all the time. cus that kills some of the sniping/stealth killing...

No post game lobby? You must be blind. I played 4 straight games last night, and never left the other 3 players in our private game. Once the game ended, we were back to the main lobby screen, I changed the game options, and we were into another match.

This rocks. I banished the game from my sight for two months waiting for the patch. All i got to say is, Woohooo! Played all night and saw lag like 3 times. Nothing unplayable, as before.

Like I said in the comment if you aren't hosting the game or a friend of the hoster there is no post game lobby.

#7 i dont kno what your talking about... i was definently in random games with people i didnt know, and was dumped into a post game lobby afterwards and played multiple games with the same people...

they also changed the font in game when you kill players so its smaller, so it doesnt take upthe whole damn screen like before. The score also shows X/X instead of just a number of points you or your team has... and you can talk during deathmatch games now! But there is still a problem with joining Player matches "unable to join game session" is all over the place.. ranked games work fine though..

Too little WAY too late. CoD2 was a solid early title as far as the SP mode is concerned. The lack of any apparent effort to make the MP worthwhile just left the door open to newcomers like GRAW and was, frankly, an inexcusable embarassment for Infinity Ward. Halo 2 has been out for nearly 18 months and set the golden standard for MP lobbies, hosting,etc. Let this be a lesson to game devs: the wild success of XBL should be all the proof you need when it comes time to decide how much effort you should apply to the MP aspect of your titles.

I agree with #9 - I got the "unable to join" about 20 times before any successful entry into a game. Also, if I wasn't host or in their party the postgame lobby was visible just long enough for me to see my score. On the plus side, once I WAS able to join a game, it was excellent! no lag. I too was concerned about the in-game name tags - I thought it would show everyone's position - but it wasn't like that. I would play COD2 all the time if I could join a game session without 20+ attempts - why is it that only Halo2 got this right?

How do you choose your map and game type when you are the host???
