The "Sony Games" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
This thread has been linked to the game 'Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2'.
As the most anticipated game of the year is released today, we need a place to discuss the happenings and to arrange games!
A few people asked for this to be created and so here we go.
Trusting everyone has their copy now, so let the fun begin tonight.
I, along with several others will be on Xbox but i know some are Ps3, but its the same game so no point in two threads!

No, Sony don't hire a 3rd party they allow the game companies to run their own, that's where the problem lies. The principal is very good and means a good company will have a server set up especially to cope with a specific game, but the theory doesn't allow for lazy companies not setting it up correctly!

Yes, not happy at all!
I did some reading last night, and it was due to the 3rd party who maintain the PSN servers allowing 100s of thousands of PS3 users to try and join the 'matchmaking' servers all at once. To save it crashing the entire PSN, they halted all online player access for MW2.
A fair few hours later, they put more servers online, and now allow chunks of 20k players onto the MP servers at a time.
I suppose this proves some difference between paying for Xbox Live (where Microsoft maintain the servers themselves) and using free PSN where Sony hire some 3rd party to maintain the servers. But saying that, I've never had a problem with PSN before, and hopefully all the issues should now be resolved. They'd better be resolved!

Yes, not happy at all!
I did some reading last night, and it was due to the 3rd party who maintain the PSN servers allowing 100s of thousands of PS3 users to try and join the 'matchmaking' servers all at once. To save it crashing the entire PSN, they halted all online player access for MW2.
A fair few hours later, they put more servers online, and now allow chunks of 20k players onto the MP servers at a time.
I suppose this proves some difference between paying for Xbox Live (where Microsoft maintain the servers themselves) and using free PSN where Sony hire some 3rd party to maintain the servers.

My dad is on Ps3 and the servers last night were not working or something. He could not get online to play. Any you ps3 guys experience this?
He played campaign and enjoyed it enough lol
He played campaign and enjoyed it enough lol
Suppose you guys can add me, but it seems as if only Freeola staff have PS3s :(

Got all 3 stars on the Alpha missions last night but that's all I had time for unfortunately. The sniper mission (Snipe Fi) was damn hard, until I realised you could use the predator drone after wave 1......... Just didn't see it.
D'oh! lol
Yeah i know we were struggling to stay in a group. Me and Hippy ended up playing each other, managed to get a knife kill on him : p
Managed to get to level 25 last night.
Here is a question for you all - are you going to do prestiege mode?
Getting to Lv 70 will be a mission!!

I shot Emmie in the back! No idea what's happening though, I couldn't seem to stay in a party with you and pb. My NAT is set to moderate so I'll have a tinker around and get it back to open.
