PS3 Modern Warfare 2 experiencing multiplayer issues; patch expected Friday [final update]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA PS3 HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! hell with playstation, they suck so bad! get a 360, your life will be better off. it figures, u don't pay for nothing so it's ur loss. playstation is such a horrible system as it is, load times, server issues, network failures. F*** the PS3!!! just goes to show you, you get what you pay for but you know what, even when the patch comes, there will be a lot of server failure issues just like all the other call of duties. LONG LIVE XBOX 360!!!!! MAN THIS MODERN WARFARE 2 MULTIPLAYER IS THE SHIT!!!!! ALL THE COOL PERKS, THE KILLSTREAK PERKS & UNLOCKABLES, THE DEATHSTREAK PERKS, IT'S ALL AWSOME!! DON'T YOU WISH YOUR PLAYING RIGHT NOW?????

I never play MP but am having lots of fun with the MP with MW2 on the PC. This game has gotten me into MP gaming, thanks!

I bought this for PS3, because I don't have Live Gold yet and I can't get online right now. It keeps on saying "Connecting to Matchmaking Server." It's been like that for 10 min now, worked fine yesterday. FUCK YOU INFINITY WARD!

I also bought it for PS3, because the majority of people on Xbox Live are goddamn 9-12 year old kids scream and play awful music through their headsets.

I saw a post over at one of the other vg blogs that Walmart/Bestbuy and Gamestop? are allowing people to trade in their PS3 versions for Xbox 360 one. Some (I doubt it) are saying if you make a big stink their throwing in free stuff like pionts and gift cards etc etc. Who knows, but I'm sure these stores will stop soon if you don't act quickly. But who knows if they'll allow trade ins. too good to be true, probably.

you want headlines as proof.. ok.. Pulled from Playstation.joystiq.com from teh last few weeks...

PS3 Beatles: Rock Band DLC crashing game's servers overseas
Users report Modern Warfare 2 Trophies misfiring
Tekken 6 online patch in the works, says Namco
Bethesda now testing fix for Canadian Fallout 3 GOTY issues
Granted the last two bugs are on both systems.. another indication that the developers aren't testing very well.

I stopped looking at that point.. but going back further in my memory.. The graphics on Ghostbusters, and Bayonetta.. and also In my opinion Arkham Asylum looked slighty worse on Ps3 then it did on 360.. just slightly and not that noticable.. but still

Again Killzone 2 beautiful game.. shitty controls for a FPS, Demon Souls.. most either love it or hate it.. not played it, probably never will.. Infamous I already said was a decent game, it was the first i bought when I bought my PS3. and Uncharted 2.. well again.. best game on the system.. I am looking forward to Mag, God of War 3, and Mod Nation though.. but they are so far away currently.. and keep gettign pushed back. In the mean time.. I'll have about 10 games on my 360 that are worth playing.. such as Assassins Creed 2 and L4D2... sure Ps3 will have AC2... but give the history so far.. it will look exactly the same or worse on Ps3 than it will on 360, and on 360 I get my achievements.. whats the PS3 got to make me want on their system? Hmm nothing.

Bottom line.. you guys can sit here all day and try to defend the issues from developers.. but while your doing that.. I'll be playing MW2 online with ALL my friends on Xbox live.. where most people play because most people have a 360 while the ps3 is just now catching up because they dropped the price to make it reasonable.

I have both systems so I can play the Best games period.. not be a fanboy as you wanna call me. But It just seems the best games with the best features are on 360. I truly believe the Ps3 can be better.. as seen with the graphics in Killzone 2, but a pretty game doesn't make a good game. Andthere are some great exclusive titles COMING... but right now.. It's pretty much a glorified Blu Ray player with only a handful fo good games. Yes the 360 has issues too... plenty of them but they have the games.. and software sells hardware. It especially sells hardware when the software works

Now you guys go ahead and whine and moan and reply to this.. but I've backed up my statement with truth. Believe it or not.. so you as you wanna say.. can get the fuck out..

'the Microsoft-funded backbone of Xbox Live.'

*COUGH* gold member funded *COUGH*

this is some buuullllllllllllllllllllllllllllll shat

You guys are reading this at all are you, THIS IS AN ACTIVISION PROBLEM, not an Infinity Ward problem.

i'm pretty sure the problem isn't with the new patch seeing as it started fucking up for me before i even got the patch. also it is shite now that the servers are down of whatever, but once they have perfected everything it is going to be so sweeeet

IW should make the next CoD based on fanboy wars. With

PS3 side:

"RRoD-47 rifle, It-looks-better-on-PS3 pistol and Gran Turismo airstrike"

360 side:

"Bigger-Sales Machine Gun, PSNSucks pistol and Gears of War airstrike"

Wii side:

"WiiRemote-12 auto shotgun, MoneyMaker pistol and Super Mario Galaxy airstrike"

PC side:

"NoPC = NoConsoles sniper rifle, Modding pistol and Crysis airstrike"

i want a refund. no online=faulty product, false advertising.

I have gotten used to the fact that infinity ward has messed up like this before. Anyone remember the call of duty 2 lag on the xbox 360 when the 360 got released? Well if you don't remember you would play for 2 seconds then get dropped. But with the PSN being free and all I can't really say that they care too much about PS3. Xbox live is definitely not worth it i mean if you own an xbox wow...can't say much except good luck with the red ring of death. But anyway the psn servers are good for being free i have never had any lag problems on them (except for the ps2) but the ps3 servers are good. So I'm a little peeved but it's ok because I want to play the campaign anyway and beat it all 3 times that you have to beat it and find all the Intel. So really it's not a problem. It's a fun game and with each level the challenge increases so...I'm not here to complain just say that it seems that everyone will always shaft the ps3 because honestly it's the best system on the market but people are dumb and buy far inferior products just to be taken advantage of...seriously it's why companies rule the world. Because people put so much money into crappy products.

"Microsoft-funded backbone of Xbox Live."?? Lol. More like player-funded backbone!

Well, at lest PC fanboys now have company with their whinning. Take a number PS3 fanboys.

of course the ps3 would have problems, that's a given for pretty much any online game... was it really necessary to post about it...

PSN = You get what you pay for.

Regardless of who our server provider is, and how weak it may be right now, they should have guessed they'd have to do more work on the servers for this game PRE release because everyone knew that the game was gonna blow up online, and there would be ALOT of people playing.. for christ sake there is STILL lines to buy the game in some places. And on another note, you are playing online for free.... Xbox users pay for their online gaming, so its only fair that they get a good provider for their servers. You get what you pay for, and if your not paying... you are gonna get nothing

This is the same problem that IW had with COD4:MW. PS3 multiplayer servers get overloaded. It happens with a lot of PS3 games. I blame the developers alone.

When Microsoft controls all aspects of Live, developers are forced to adhere to those rules.

When Sony opens up the PS3 to allow all sorts of development, we get the benefits of dedicated servers (when devs want to make them) but it also allows companies to cut corners.

This problem happened with COD:4, R6 Vegas, GRAW-2, Splinter Cell, etc...

When you give people the opportunity to cut corners, they often will.

I still don't want to get an Xbox360, but I'm also not feeling bad about playing MAG for a week while IW fixes their game. Hopefully this year the problem gets fixed quickly, I traded in COD:4 after 2 months because multiplayer servers just kept going down.

Are you really surprised, what makes IW different from every other developer out there. They all seem to fuck up their PS3 online launch.

It's a conspiracy!

To be honest, I took Veteran's Day off even though our company doesn't offer it up as holiday. I'll just go back to Demon's Souls. Or watch Mad Men.

I said it before but Infinity Ward= PS3 FAIL. FAIL. FAIL.

I still don't have the trophies I earned before the patch but at least they are getting counted now. I can't sync, but at least I've got them. THANK GOD I got the trophies for finishing levels on Veteran. Some of those levels are hard as hell and I'd be more likely to break the disc in half than play it again.

Infinity Ward and their bedtime buddies at Actiwhore have ruined the game for me. I wish I did have a 360, because it doesn't sound like IW gave such a half assed attempt at a game.

They will never get another dollar from me. If I buy any game from them, it will be USED from Gamestop.

We paid $60 or more. We expect a product that works on the first day. Don't expect me to pay more for a feature that is part of the game but Activision is too damn cheap to pay for.

@CheeziePotato

I get that on the PSN too. I played an Uncharted 2 match and the two guys playing had music blasting through their headsets.

Though it happens on live more often.

this is bogus. when will this madness be over. how can they make the same mistake with both cod:mw's

Yes, that solves the PSN problem. Anyone surprised? Anyone remember the CoD4 launch on PS3? Yeah.

"Microsoft-funded backbone of Xbox Live"

Microsoft funded? Don't you mean subscription funded.. let this be a lesson folks, you get what you pay for.

Here's another lesson, when it's free, you have night right to complain, you're not a customer, you're a user.

Do you know what I don't like?
When you join a game and it lags like hell, so bad you have to quit, and by quitting, it counts as a loss!
That annoys the shit out of me when I hadn't lost a game for the first half hour I was playing it.
Oh and server overload? If that is the reason, it is shameful. "the most anticipated game of the decade" Yeah? WELL GET YOUR FUCKING SERVERS RUNNING THEN! CUNTS!

@urza i guess i do get what i paid for, a $1000 graphics engine with a built in hard drive and blu ray player that supports compatability for installing the latest windows operating system enabling the ability to play nearly any game, except for those on the wii. But if you don't have a ps3 you wouldn't know that. By the way

"PSN servers are ran and maintained by 3rd party companies hired to do so."

Im sure if sony (pulls in more revenue than microsoft) sponsored those servers, there would be no problem.

One more reason why PSN needs to cost money. Crap severs is the problem here.

HAHA all i can say... I own a PS3 & a 360... which did i buy COD MW2 for ... why funny you should ask... my 360 of course. Ive played online without the slightest hiccup. Two days in a row i might add....

you must pick your games more wisely ppl. PS3 is great to play by your self. if your going multiplayer.... its xbox all the way..... like someone said earlier..

YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR....

DEMONCHLD6669

Look its not the end of the world becuase MW2 is down, ok in the mean time why dont you play the campaign, and i understand from what i read that the trophies are not working but play the game and wait i am sure that waiting will not kill you, plus it just came out ok and this is normal this is what normally happens to games. But seriously relax wait it out and play.

If you go play split screen on the multiplayer mode, and turn on the "online" (actually play by yourself with 2 controls), then quit and go back to the regular self online play it works!!!! (PS3) TRUST ME IT WORKS WE ARE PLAYING RIGHT NOW!!

Em.........it's actually fixed, that's why "IT WORKS"

Oh my...this is sad, very sad.

My assumption about 80% of Joystiq commenters being idiots was correct...

So, when do we get a patch to fix the multiplayer issues on the pc?

Waiting is the hardest part.
