Modern Warfare 2 PS3 Multiplayer Outage Explained, Addressed

As many of you PlayStation 3 owners are likely aware, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 saw its multiplayer mode crippled last night, right around the time a patch was released to fix an issue with trophies not unlocking properly. While it was first assumed that the patch had somehow caused multiplayer to tank, Infinity Ward creative strategist Robert Bowling revealed via Twitter that the patch had nothing to do with the outage.

"Xbox Live servers are maintained and ran by Microsoft. PSN servers are ran and maintained by 3rd party companies hired to do so," Bowling explained. He went on to say, "MP doesn't require a patch. It's a server overload not a bug in the code. They're working to have servers back up ASAP."

A few hours ago, Bowling announced that a second patch had been released, which means trophy unlocks should now be working properly in single-player and multiplayer. Bowling also said that IW is adding more servers to keep up with multiplayer demand, and that a number of those servers are starting to come online as we speak. There still might be issues for some people, but it looks like things should be up and running again smoothly soon.

Should be urge to buy 360 rising.

"On what caused the Demonware servers to go down (8:eek:o ET):
<?xml:namespace prefix = ie7 /><ie7:! class="ie7_anon ie7_class3" id=ie7_psuedo5 style="OVERFLOW: hidden; content: "></ie7:!>#MW2 PS3 Update: Looks like it was the amount of connections at once that killed PSN. They&#8217;re enabling 20,000 users at a time to connect now
Demonware server died. Causing mass error messages to Sony&#8217;s server, which made it block all #MW2 connections to prevent PSN fail"

Well, OhioSaintsFan said that the night that it came out, there were 300,000 people playing it at once on PS3. Shortly after that, the servers crash, so my half mill is a roundabout number, but probably not far off.

And Mongoose posted something saying that 2.35 mill people played it on 360 the first day.
 
Estimate half mill or less for PC and thats about 3.3 mill playing online first day of release. cha ching

Yes, if you have 2 gold accounts, you both can have a headset. If he is a guest, than no. Only gold members can use headsets.
