Call of Duty 5 World at War Problems: Sony PS3 and Xbox 360

everytime the game ends you get kicked from the lobby, have only stayed in same lobby probably 3 or 4 times, very frustrating when you want revenge on the team u r playing or would like to continue kicking but.
I also seem to have a problem with using my blu tooth headset, when turned on it often will freeze when trying to join game & in game it seems to generate a lot of lag – anyone else having this trouble, it never did it on cod4.

They should have done a PS3 beta to test out the code the PS3 users.

That is what the major players are doing now.

My husband has been playing COD4 online with his friends from the UK, (we are in Canada) however since we bought COD5, he can no longer play online with his friends from the UK. It still shows they are on his friends list, he can message them, he has tried to deleted them then reinvite them, we have tried everything including the download, he keeps getting a error, unable to join party message!!! Really really frustrating. Any suggestions???? Pls help!

My ps3 has been doing the same thing .I try to join parties error. I try to find a match I sit in a lobby by myself.I thought it was my internet called sony and comcast 2 days now its the game cause other ones work. So dont buy it !

Had the game since sat and not once stayed in the same team twice in a row! keep getting kicked out. Alao unable to join with friends either when i invite them or they invite me! very dissapointing

online games seem to be ok when playing death matches but when playing co-op story mode online once the mission is over you have to reboot machine. this happpens when either i set the game up or someone else does. this needs to be sorted ASAP this is the main reason me and my friends bought it so we could play through the game together

I bought C.O.D. world at war today. All the day there have been problems with the server. Cant join any games oline. When im so lucky to play it kick me of during the fight or after.

I am also having problems connecting to parties of friends in other countries. I did not have this problem whilst playing COD4 and find it immensely frustrating. I hope this gets addressed in the next update.

I am terribly disappointed, I was so excited as my copy of waw came 2 days before the european release date, however as soon as my friends purchased their copies problems began online left right and centre, ever since release date I have connected to my friends once, since then i keep getting that hated game session has ended error, I can fully accept and understand that on release, the online may have a few problems, however it is coming up to a week and I am yet to see any sort of official confirmation that yes there is errors and they are planning to fix it, I refuse to play this game until i hear that at least something is being done to fix it! I guess I still have time to get tht lvl 55 gold cross ( 25 lvls away from it!)

oh and its on my ps3 im talking about…..

I have the blutooth problem when using a headset involving the lag and im still suffering the lobby problem. Not been able to connect to a lobby from anyone, all i get is Error after Error. They should’ve done a proper Beta test.

I bought the game the first day it came out. I played through the Single Player right away and it’s awesome. However, when I try to get online I still get the “Downloading Game Settings…” and it sits there forever. At first I thought my router might’ve been blocking some ports it needed, so I added it to a DMZ, but that didn’t help. Second, I checked with my university to make sure they didn’t block any ports needed, they didn’t. I just tried deleting all the game data (thinking maybe it had something to do with the update), but they made the update mandatory, and I still can’t get online. This is really frustrating me…

I think we can all agree that we loved Call Of Duty 4, am i right? well i guess things are now changing, Call Of Duty WAW, is a awesome game, i enjoyed the single player gaming and the zombies, but since i got it i only played twice online, due to disconnecting after the match and it takes a while to even find a match. Abit of lagging with the mic on too, and the worst problem i had was not being able to play with my friends from the US or Canada. If you notice when you play online from england you will only have european players on, the american server is not connected with the european server and vice versa. This alone has made me almost stop playing the game fullstop. I am dissappointed with the game, and i have contacted Activision and still no joy. Treyarch need to stop counting all the money and offer the customers a better service by sorting this out, because more and more people are getting fed up with it, and iv almost reached my limit now. Treyarch, sort it or the game gets dumped!!!

I am having trouble getting level five.At the end it says regroup with squad and I think you have too look over the beach from the artillery postion but nothing happens I can’t seem to end the level.
Can anyone help please?.

Hi, i bought the game yesterday and got to play it once on solo mission, and today i have tried to play call of duty world at war and it wont even friken open on multiplayer or single player!!!, when it does it takes 4-5 minutes to start and then just crashes, which is bizarre because cod4 i have had no problems with at all and have completed the game. I am VERY DISSAPPOINTED so far. All it come up with when i try to start it is “directx encountered an unrecoverable error, view readme for solution”. Trouble is i cant find a bloody readme!. Any suggestions anybody??

Its mostly frustrating when I want to get lot of games in and then it kicks me out before intermission, and then I’m stuck searching for other players. It’s a big hassle and needs to get fixed very soon. Not the online play I was expecting…..dissapointing to say the least.

hey mike, if its asks u to read the readme file then that what u need to do, every game and software has a readme file somewhere in the cd. check through the files carefully and u shud find it somwer ther. U may have to delete yout old directx and download a new latest driver which normaly should come with the game.

I bought COD WAW the day it was released in Australia. Playing solo or online the game consistently mutes sound for roughly 3-4 seconds or the screen goes completely black for the same amount of time. I have swapped the game and it still does it. All of my other games work fine, no problems at all. Is it my Ps3 or the game??? Some help or advice would be muchly appreciated, thanks.

My brother and I both bought this game, so that we could play the co-op online. We were only able to do it twice and both times the game freezes afterwards. The worst thing is that after the second time, my brother’s playstation even broke. Now his playstation is not able to read any blu-ray or DVD. We called both the Sony helpdesk and activision to ask for solutions or reason what could be the problem. but both have been very unhelpfull and seem to have no knowledge about this problem at all. Both companies told me they were unknown to any problems with this game for online play, which seems to be strange to me, since so many people have problems with this game concerning online play.

hey james, iv not heard anyone having a problem with the sound and picture going out and it does infact sound like something wrong with the PS3, try putting the same game in a friends ps3 and see if it does the same problem. you will get your answer then.

whilst im here i already talked about the problems i had with the game, well its got worse, now the game is freezing and i have to switch it off from the power switch instead of shutting it down the proper way, but since getting this game its now freezing all the time with every game, this game may cost me a new PS3… DISAPPOINTED! i got a reply from activision regarding not being able to connect to friends, and their answer?? “ther is no way around this” “you can only play with friends from the same region”. cant be true if it worked fine on COD4, and since the update i can play now with SOME of my friends from the US/CANADA not all of em,

really frustrating now.

i can play online fine with no problems. not even noticing any lag ever or anything (as i often did with cod4).

however, it is simply impossible to invite friends or respond to and join an invite from friends.

really really annoying, what’s wrong with it? is it going to be fixed? preferrably NOW? as i’ve already paid the £40 for the game,

oh, p.s. my dad who im trying to connect to is about 5 MILES away, so no ‘need to be in the same region’ rubbish applies obviously.

havnt had one single problem with my xbox since buying it 2-3 years ago since bought call od duty 5 my xbox has froze too many times and now cant play on my xbox not even a different game !!!!!!!! because my t.v goes so grainy/ fuzzy you cant see anything but black but can hear sound.but normal t.v works fine tho really annoying !!!!! :@

This is seriously irritating, I get kicked out of lobbies, my stats won’t refresh, it lags in game so I can’t get points, I time out in the middle of matches and always get kicked out of the lobby at the end; and most frustrating I almost always get stuck at the setting up game screen so I just sit there doing nothing. Sort it out treyarch

This game wants you to keep playing it but the annoying thing is not being able to team up with your mates. hope they fix it soon or it’s back to cod4.

Thanks for the advice Haroon, I did manage to find the readme and installed the directx that was on the cd, unfortunately no change it still is freezing and playing up & sometimes you cant even get out of it you have to restart the computer which is crap so thanks to all that replied to my message by the looks of things a lot of people are having trouble with this game so ill take the game back today. Thanks

Mike

Things are still bad, i just played for abit and i can finally connect to some of my friends but not all of them, so i dont knw where this game is heading. are they going to get this game working perfectly or is it going to remain the same, i have a strong feeling im going to have to take COD4 back out of its case…. its a shame because codwaw is an awesome game. and future games should be getting better not bloody worse!

The game is great except for the same online problem which cod4 had.And here is a very big glitch that i found out on the ps3 version of the game that i have.I have posted the video on youtube:-
http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=M3DVw2Od434

how come i dont get points for planting r disarming the bomb on search and destroy this also happend in cod4 – anyone else have this problem.. how can i sort it?

I am still having trouble getting my friends in my party. I can sometimes get one or 2 in but it doesnt work near as well as in COD4. Very frustrating. I certainly hope they get it fixed soon. I am also irritated like many others who have posted that treyarch dont seem to be listening to their forums and posts to their site.

When we try to download update data to start the game and play online, it gets about 8% through the download and we get an error message saying either we were signed out of the PS network or an error occurred during the download operation and it’s over. Anyone gotten past this?

I am having the same problem on level , I can not regroup with my squad very frustrating what can i do

My son and hs friend bought CoD 5 and everything was fine until this morning, the game says loading and then it clicks and that is it – frozen, any ideas ?

Thanks

Brendan

I managed to play online for the first couple of days now all that happens it searches for available games and then stays on getting match quality for a moment then straight back to searching for available matches.So Frustrating

Seriously today there are some problems with it but since it was fixed it was fine cod4 had the same problems when it first came out, it will get fixed so carm down I am playing it now and it does seem to take a while to get in the game but it should be fixed tomorrow just press find game and wait it will put you in one just like it trying to put the other 90k player in a game at the same time.

My son having problem with screen freezing whilst game loading too. Have no idea what to do.

Yeah, it’s still doing it today on the 23rd and do you know what’s even more frustrating? You get a really sweet achievement and then the game is done and instead of going back to the lobby you get “server timed out” and then you check your stats only to realize that nothing was saved and you have to it AGAIN. I find that if it’s “searching” for too long, just hop back to the main screen and then go back into multiplayer and it will find you a game, but that’s frustrating as all hell, too. It seems like this issue has been getting WORSE over the last few days and definately not beter…like today, I can only get one round of a match in EVERY TIME. Haven’t done two in a row all day, so you can imagine how many times I’ve hopped back and forth from the main menu to the multiplayer menu and 50% I’ve lost whatever exp I just got…

Me and my friend were playing split screen co-op and 3 times during our play the game froze and quit and said “bad event type” and when we went back to try and play again, nothing was saved and we had to start at the beggining again.

the game freezes a lot every time i finished hosting the game and i have to pull the plug on my ps3 to restart everything.. hope i dont corrupt my hdd..

Im gettin my COD WAW in christams..it should be fixed ny then..i hope..anyway…thanks for the heads up…

I am alsohaving problems in single player on level 5. it tell me to regroup wit my sqaud and when i do nothing happens

Here it is… 11/24/08 and I cannot load COD5…everytime it tries to download match info, an error occurs…I cannot play the game online at all at the moment. Quite frustrating. I should have bought an XBOX.

well i got cod5 yesterday and ive been so lucky as to get in to two mathches it never get past the setting up game screen plz help!

Had the game for nearly two weeks now and apart from the annoying things like gettin kicked out of the lobby at the end its been fine. Yesterday tried to play using a bluetooth headset for the first time and now i cant play at all with or without it! Either freezes on the downloading game settings or leaves me sat in a lobby on my own. Spent an hour trying to get it workin last night before realising i’d spent an hour gettin stressed with it when i just wanted to relax on my ps3. Its a shame because when it works it a brilliant game but i’m staring to get fed up trying!

well i brought the game today, and i cant really get a roll on with playing the games i thing i attemped about 25 games and onli finished like 5 off them wiv out geetin kiked out and it take bout 10 mins to start to get into a game like…. also wen my m8 adds me to a party the invite doesnt cum up :S…. why is this??

also wen you click on barracks and go to view the friends scores it takes ages to download just mine foe example and most the tym tht doesnt even show up!!

I’m using a PS3 and whenever I try to invite friends to my party OR try to join a friend’s party….I always get ” server connection timed out” or ” something no longer available” and so do the friends I’m trying to connect with. It doesn’t make any sense and is extremely frustrating. I bought the game for some relatives so we could play together online, but we can’t even do that. What a waste.

What a waste of time and money my experience with this game has been !!! None of my friends can get on my games ..we been playing with random people and always after a game, it goes down… To the people of Infinity..you should had never let this Treyarch people mess with Call of Duty after you had done such an amzing job in Call Of Duty 4..

I’m getting most of the PS3 problems detailed above, kicked out at end of games after taking forever trying to get into one, have trouble connecting to friends who live less than a mile away etc etc. Are Treyarch going to be fixing this soon?

I realy do not think this game at this stadge is worth the money. i bought this game only for online play on Xbox360 and have not experience a game with so much problems. Friends trying to created games and can not, Players being kick with no reason, in game you spawn on wrong side from time to time, Battle to get connected to local games.. I hope they sorts this out or I will stick to CoD4 and sell CoD W@W….. Pitty

right i got this the day of rrelease (england) 4 the first few days online play went ok but since the 20th of november wenever the player number reaches over 70k it wont let me enter games and if it does its after waiting 5-10 minutes!
if u have any idea whats wrong reply!

It’s a problem at Treyarch’s end with their lobbies…hopefully they’ll have it all ironed out before Christmas or else things are just gonna get worse because the number of people trying to play on that ONE day is going to be insane.

I can’t even play gives me a compile script error for the 360 WTF

I bought COD5 the day it came out. I played for a couple of days by myself – had a buddy come by so we checked out the co-op play. We played for about 15 minutes before trying to quit the came. It never quit the game, had to turn it off manually from the back. Upon restarting, all settings on the PS3 were set back to original – as if I’m turning it on for the first time – I’m talking 480i. Other then the madden, I own COD4 and now COD5. When COD4 came out, it froze up my new ps3 with the game still in it. I sent it to Sony (under warranty) and they sent me a new one along w/ my original copy of COD4. Never had another problem. UNTIL NOW! COD5 completely jacked up my system once I tried to play co-op. Sony said it would cost me $160 to have it repaired or replaced. No longer under warranty. BULLSHIT on all levels! I think someone owes me some money! Don’t think I’ll be buying COD6 if they come out w/ one…………….FYI, all I really play is Madden – Think that has something to do with it???? IT SHOULDN’T!

At first i thought my internet was poor, but now i realise that other people are having the same problems as me. Firstly, my after games stats bar on the side(i.e the nemesis bit) doesnt load, and i get this weird message saying migrating hosts after every game, as well as SERVER CONNECTION HAS TIMED OUT. This is frustrating, as i cannot play more than one game at a time. Why is this happening?

I always get booted out of a game after it is over. I can never play with the same people twice in a row. Another thing is that it takes FOREVER to fine a game. I cant stand it!!! The final straw might be connection. I have an amazing internet connection but it seems that I can never get above 3 bars (usually have 2 yellow bars). Anyone have these problems? If anyone has an idea of how to fix the connection problems that would be great. Thanks tons

I got the same problem…. i can at most play 2 games in a row, then it wont let me play again… it takes about a half hour of sitting before it gets in a game. I know its not the internet because other games are fine… I went to my friends though, and he could play whenever he wanted… weird…

OMG! this has been happen to me sense i got the game. i cant ever play a whole match cuz of this. i’m about ready to just stop playin it all together.

Yeah i bought the game November 23rd. My buddy and I were playing split screen and the game froze and a “COM_EventLoop: bad event type 4096″ appeared on the screen and made me quit the game. It happens all the time, Solo campaign, multiplayer, online, all the time. So i can’t record any of my stats that I get in online matches because the game kicks me out. Also after every match online THAT WORKS, i know hard to believe, my after action report shows up recoring 0 kills 0 headshots, etc. when in the game i had kills and head shots, it also says that the server connection time timed out or something like that. This is crap!!! DON’T BUY IT. WASTE OF MONEY.

If it SEEMS like your screen has frozen, just light a smoke and wait and it will unfreeze in 30 seconds or less. If you quit the game or reboot the PS3 then you loose whatever exp you just gained. Treyarch is getting better at keepin’ their lobbies goin’ but obviously it’s still not perfect.

I am playing from Australia and am having to put up with “server connection has timed out” for 90% of the games ive played. W@W should be recalled!

1st few days the ae was fine till they did the update. since then , not able to connect with friends whatsoever , ( and no it ist my connection) also same as cod 4 , carnt get into most games and the ones that you do eventually get into you always , always get booted out by the end …..

cod 4 was bad in places but cod 5 is terrible , treyarch really need to listen to their custoers , and do something about this , a lot are reverting back to cod 4 , well me as well, now , . if they can come up with a patch to sort the problems they have the potential to have a world winner, but in its state that it is its nothing more than a 40 quid bookend…………………

Every time i load up cod5 my screen just goes blank

is this the ps3 or game?

all other games are working fine

do need advice plz

ummm…im on monkey tilt trying to play this damn game online

I’ve had a few problems online…but all of a sudden the game wont even load!! I put the disc in and wait for it to load up but nothing happens?? & its really pissed me off!! Is this a problem other people are having or should I just take my copy back and get a new one??

RE: Rory Wood…im having exactly the same issue…all my other games work fine…its just COD5…maybe i’ll wait till i take it back!!

I had problems with my connection ONLY during this game. “Downloading Game Settings” stayed onscreen all day,got a weird error message one day too. Some gibberish on the screen that didnt even form words. The only thing that was even made out was “has 128 bones.”,which is totally irrelevant to the game and game universe in general. Then it started screwing with my connection with all my other games too. I deleted my saves and stopped playing it for awhile and everything went back to normal. My gf had the game and was playing it,when it kicked her offline and bricked her PS3. She couldn’t even get the game out! I liked killing Nazi zombies,but rather have a working PS3.

I haven’t heard of it not even loading…I’d return it and exchange it for another disc, which should work….though, if it doesn’t, I have no idea what’s wrong with your PS3.

Well, i havnt had any major issues with the game, the only problem is that i cannot stay in the same lobby for two consecutive matches and once a game has closed and an error message saying a string was missing popped up.

WAW seems to be riddled with problems, hopefully IW will be able to work their magic with Cod 6

It seems to have got a bit better over the last couple of nights. Its finding games a bit quicker but there are still no ‘last game stats’ and it still struggles to migrate the host at the end of some games. Still not good though!!

sam and rory wood. Me and my brother had the same problem, only that now we cannot load any disc’s at all anymore. So I would be very carefull with your disc, since it broke our playstation.

Ok so me and one of my closest friends played cod4 online a lot with him in college and me taking a break it was our way of keeping in touch. COD WAW comes out and not only cant we play together it will not let us invite each other erros says game mode is no longer available. youd think with the success of cod4 they would have taken more time to make sure every thing went smoothly

I found that last night things were a little more smooth, so hopefully they’re ironing things out. It wasn’t perfect (leaving a lobby would cause the PS3 to temporarily freeze and make CLICK CLICK CLICK sounds like I was going through my barracks) but alot better then one game every twenty minutes!

I got the game the day before the uk release date god knows how but any way bwent and played on it straight away thought it was excellent game untikl in tried to join my freinds onli9nr all it says is trying to join potential matches and then says the game session is no longer availabl;e very dfukn dissapointing for the next world of cod

Any update on the whole freezing as soon as you put the disc in??? It would be nice to know if I should risk keep trying, wait a few more days if its in the middle of being fixed or just take it back and get a new one??? Cheers!!

I got cod 5 the day it came out and I have been having the same problems with the servers mostly after the games. The server times out after every game and the after action report shows nothing. and sometimes I have a lot of trouble getting into matches or it just takes a long time instead of jumping in like it should. Triarch should really get to work on some patches because it is very disheartening to pay this much for a game that does not work the way it should!!!!!!!!

played cod 4 brillant offline and online. got cod 5 brillant offline but rubbish online. cannot join with friends and getting very annoyed. this problem needs to be sort or they can forget about bringing any more games out cos no one will buy them.

I am having problems connecting to any games online i have just got my ps3 and I cant play any games online
I have good internet so thats not the problem i have sat on my couch for about 1 hour waiting while cod 5 looks for games but nothing comes up i really hope thay get it fixed up or i will be selling my ps3 and buying a xbox360 atleast xbox live doesnt stuff up.

Dude, check what kind of NAT connection you have – if it says NAT 3 then you’re ******…NAT 1 or 2 is good.

F*** it! Im taking mine back to get a new one…hopefully it will work…if not i will be screwing!!

mine’s gettin worse now…. its startin to mess about with my ps3, it works fine until i try to play the game then sign me out the ps network and wont let me until i restart the console. Has anyone contacted treyarch or activision or whoever’s responsible and asked if they’re doin anythin about it? ie an update or anythin? Am fed up of tryin to play it its more hassle than its worth now

Ian, your not alone alot of people around the world are having the same problem. Since i got this game my console keeps freezing from time to time, and i have to switch it off. I have been in touch with both activision and treyarch, il copy and paste their reply below.
My question to Activision:
I am having problems connecting with friends from the US/Canada, all my friends are having the same problem, we can only connect to friend from europe. This is very very annoying never had this problem with COD4. Another problem is it disconnects after a online match from the hosts on every single game and sometimes freezes and causes the ps3 to crash?

Activisions Reply:

Hello and thank you for contacting Activision Customer Support, Unfortunately you can currently only connect to other users who possess the same region game as you do. The games are running at different versions in the different regions and you cannot connect to them. Unfortunately there is no way to work around this. The PS3 crashing may have something to do with your internet connection.

My Reply:

ok so if i can oly connect with people from the same region, why is it we never had this issue with call of duty 4? games should be getting better not worse. I think its bad that this is happened as we had a very strong clan and we cant even play together anymore like we did on call of duty 4. if it worked fine on call of duty 4 then im sure there is a way around it.

Activisions response:

Call of Duty 4 was the same way when the game was initially released. However we have received no information regarding any future updates for the game. Currently you can only connect to users from the same region as from where your game was purchased.
______________________________________________________________
Well what this is saying is we had the same problems with COD4 which we did to begin with, but was ironed out. Hopefully by new year we shouldnt be having any problems.

Yeah i got a dodgey PS3 i think someone told me that it might be a retail version or something? Im going to ring sony and see what they say about it? Its so annoying ive tried playing COD5 and i can see how many ppl are online though i still cant get a games list up

PSN: D-CEAS

It sounds like they’re not even going to bother trying to create an update to fix this. Sounds like they don’t care…

when i tried cod waw online for the first time on my account, i was lvl 4 and i never even played on my account yet?

Got through the first level on Solo, and began the 2nd. Got out of the landing craft, called in the rockets on the MG’s, started forward after they blew up, FREEZE.

Tried two more times. Same.

Exchanged copy at Best Buy. Came home, put it in, loaded 2nd level, landing craft, rockets, blah, blah, blah, FREEZE.

360 is just a few weeks old, no problems with many, many other games. This one freezes at the same point each time with two different disks.

hey, when I unplugged my xbox after beating the campaign, I took it to another house and plugged it back in,but guess what, no campagn! I saved and everything, even got acheivement, but I till have 2 redo whole campaign, any help?

P.S. Xbox 360 version

have to say it was slightly better last night , i managed to stay in the same lobby for 5 games, lololololololol

Right…this game is officially f***ed!! Took mine back coz I just get a blank screen when I put the disc in…and it happens with the brand new one I got from the shop…getting a re-fund…will hopefully buy it again when the get their act together and get it sorted!!!

Sam..sounds like it might be your PS3. All your other games work fine?

Purchased my copy of World at War 4 days ago and still have been unable to join an online game. Thought it may have been my settings so checked them, deleted the update and downloaded again, still no joy. Every other game works fine online even Call of Duty 4. I am reading that the problems have been fixed from the server end so what seems to be the problem? Played a friend in split screen just to have a look at a multiplayer game and to tell you the truth, I think we have all been ripped off. They coould have just broought out a map pack or add on for Call of Duty 4 instead of a whole new game. Not much changed that needed an entire new game release. Been 4 days still haven’t played 1 single online game……

Well with my game, as soon as I got a defeat in a match, I ranked up, now whenever I look at the experience bar it has MINUS numbers going back saying how much experience I need. Say I ranked up from level 8 to 9, when I go to the menu it says I am 9, but THEN at the experience action report it says I have MINUS 197 points to level 9. Then, to top it off, I am currently LEVEL 9 and I have not unlocked a gun that is unlucked AT LEVEL 7. WTF is gongn on. Also I keep on completing challenges repeatedly, like prone 1 or grenade kill 1 over and over again. Its like Fricken Ground Hog day. HELP!

JOY JOY JOY, I am happy to make two important announcments, 1st. My COD:WAW is now working perfectly fine, after weeks of frustration, and messages to activision and treyarch, i can finally say, its sorted. I can connect to all my friends now from all other countries, online is running smoothly and no problems. 2nd. im proud to say that the next call of duty which will be COD5, will be made by Infinity Ward which is currently being made and will be released late 2009. Thankgod for that. Thanks Treyarch, but no thanks,.

how did you do it , spill the secret , lollololololo

I dont knw, since the update things have only got better, i dont think anyone should give up on the game, we did have the same problem in november 2007 when cod4 came out, so be patient and it will be sorted. mine is now fully working with no problems. Treyarch are working on it, so from region to region it will be sorted,

dementedDALEK – Dont think its my PS3…all my other games are working fine

Haroon …….. many thanks , ill be waiting with baited breath , till mine gets sorted , although as i said a couple of nights ago , it seems to be getting their .

Yeah, I played all day yesterday (the wife took the kids out Christmas shopping, so it was AWESOME!) with little to no problems, so I think they’re finally getin’ it going. One SERIOUSLY gay thing happened yesterday, though. Do you guys remember how you could get under the map in Roundhouse on the Beta version? Well, I was glad that that was fixed in the official release (it’s gay being killed by people you can’t see OR kill), but yesterday some loser had figured out how to get under the map on Castle, so that’s something that Treyarch HAS GOT to fix, because only people who have no skill climb under a map to kill people who can’t even atempt to fight back.

i am not able to connect to WAW from my ps3. It just says, “waiting for 3 more players” or however many needed to start a game. It shows 83000 people online. How am I not able to play? Any suggestions? Is it my connection, although I checked it and everything is fine?

HELP my ps3 will not let me go on line with the call of duty world at war, keeps telling me error [80710723] i have changed the game for another one and still having the same prob, what can i do to get it on line? cas i loved cod4 and cant wait to try the new one on line

i can never download my game settings and its really freakin anooying…treyarch infinity ward didnt have these gay problems they actually fixxed them thanks alot

I know this is sooooo anoying i had cod4 same problem i thought cod5 the would have fixed it i dont want paying $90 bucks for a game that works but $90 bucks for a game that doesnt work online thats bullshit if anyone finds out how 2 fix it let me know PLZ!

Dude…$90?! That’s more crazy then the problems everyone on here is havin’! Coulda got it for $55 at Wal-mart, man.

same problem on cod5 as every1 else, but more serious my console not reading my games very often anymore . dvd’s loading fine! any1 no de number for sony, only prob it’s over year and ahalf old. will they HELP me

Here’s the number for ya, buddy: 1-800-345-SONY (7669)

They’re not as helpful over the phone as the people at Xbox Live (who try to kiss my ass one the phone, but that might be because I burnt out three of their consoles and I’m usually mad as hell when I call) who are polite and courteous. The playstation people like to always tell you it’s a problem with your ISP (when having connection problems) and then you call your ISP and they say “There’s no problems on the line, sir and your speeds check out good.” so then you call the playstation people back and they tell you “They’re lying.” Seriously. I’m not even joking. I bought a PS3 three times and returned it twice because I couldn’t get it to connect (well, the first time was because I spent $700 on a 20GB model and then found out it didn’t have HALF the features of the 60GB model, but this was the month when they first came out and I couldn’t find the other model, so I returned it and got my $700 back) and I spent THREE DAYS on the phone with playstation and my ISP until I got so frustrated that I returned the system and AGAIN, got my money back. Then, two years later, I tried again with a 40GB model and now it’s all good.

Im on a winning streak and my reacord is the same. Its counting the kills, deaths and score. Just not my wins or losses. Server problem???

this is complete bullshit. i cant even get into a game period ninety percent of the time. i looks for matches then sticks me in an empty room where no one comes in.

YES, Sony will help you. If your 3 is out of warranty, they will charge you $160 and it will talk 2 weeks from when you make the call to actually getting it back. It’s totally bullshit – cod4 froze my system up but it was still under warranty so they just sent me a “refurbished” one. Cod5 did the same thing to me and it cost me some serious dough!

Ever since I bought the game I haven’t got any after action reports it just tells me how much experience I gained. Anyone have any help?

Every time my friends send me an invite to either join their party or connect to the game they are currently playing… it always comes up with a message saying that the session is no longer available… therefore i can’t accept any invites..

I love all of the CoD games. Well untill CoD 5. Not only when I was buying the game three people working at the till was fighting lol. Well seem funny until I got home and find the case empty of the disk GGGGGGRRRRR. Went back got it but wasn’t happy. Now playing the game online it works good untill I invite a friend. This was the whole reason why I got the game. It can’t be because of the region or the server because we had tried it also off the same wireless box. This is not on. We have done this many times with CoD 4 without fault. I have a PS3 and I live in London in the UK. If anyone has manage to fix this problem please let me know.

Things seem to be a little better regarding connectivity for me here in Australia. I’ve managed to play quite a few consecutive games without being booted from the lobby. It only seems to boot me when it goes through the “merging host” thinger or whatever it’s called. There is still a bit to go before I would say it’s running smoothly but it seems to have improved. For anyone that cares I emailed Sony here and asked them about the COD4/COD5 connection dramas since the 2.50 update. They got back to me within 24hours and said it’s pretty much Activion’s fault. So I emailed Activion and they still haven’t replied (emailed about 2 weeks ago). Is anyone else hanging out for Killzone 2?

Corey – sometimes when you hop into a match half way through, kill TONS of guys and win one for your team, it doesn’t register it as a win because you started late. It’s gay, I know…

After waiting for an update to finish, my son has not been able to go online on COD5 as the screen goes blank after the opening sequence. This has not affected any other user on the game, just his.
He has tried transferring his existing data onto another account, but gets a message saying “data corrupted 80010514″

Does anyone know a way round this, or will he have to start from the beginning again (he is on level 42 and will be extremely upset!)

Has this happened to anyone else??

Thanks in advance if you are able to help

Yes the same is happeneing on pc. When I invite friends it says trying to join potential matches and then unable to join. And when I refresh for co-op matchesit only gives me three to choose from?

Phil – if this happened during your update yesterday, then your dowload was corrupted and you’re screwed.

have to be honest and say for the last 3 days it hasnt been to bad my end , ive managed to get in with friends , and ive also managed to host a game with 5 friends in it and keep it going for a few hours , yipppppeeeeeeee

bet it dont last though , lolololololl

Hey,

Does anyone have this problem?

I play online with my mates from home, eventually after reseting our ps3′s over and over we finally get into a lobby together. When there is three of us my bluetooth headset works fine, when a fourth joins two people cant hear me speak, its always the same 2 and my other mate can always hear me.

Its so annoying, anyone else getting this problem?

omg how annoying is cod 5 i got it played on campain for 1 hour screen went fuzzy as hell couldnt see anything rebooted xbox played on it fine . went on it day later on live theen the same happend i couldnt hear everything but no visual.and now i cant play on my xbox it has broke my xbox cod 5 is a f***in screw up.

HELP IF ANYONE HAS HAD THISAND FIXED THIS PROBLEM.
thank you.

I have been a PC engineer for over 20 years… and am perfectly capable of making sure i’m running the correct version of DirectX, the right drivers etc etc…. BUT this game is still horribly buggy and very prone to CTD’s.I’m at Ring of steel in SP and the game simply won’t load… instead it goes to desktop with a “directX error” EVERY other game I’m running is justs fine… cod4, crysis, Bioshock etc etc. I’m not at all impressed with the games stability and reliability at all. might well be uninstall time :/

Alright, I’m officially PO’d at COD5, tryarch, and avtivision. whenever I try to join a online match it just alternates between “getting match quality” and “searching for available games.” It will do this all day if i let it. I’ve cleared my cache, rebooted xbox and connection. my internet works fine, and I can play halo and gears without a hitch. I have played a few matches already, but the past three days I’ve got nothing. any suggestions? otherwise, I quit… You win tryarch…I’m giving you away as a crappy xmas gift. toodles.

Okay, My issue is not completely getting kicked from the lobby at the end my game or match. Even thought it does this to me, i can live with it. What really ticks me off after a while is during gameplay it starts to lag, and it has nothing to do with my internet connection, because it doesnt do this with other games i play. I will be aming my crosshare one way at an enemy or something then ill be twitching around looking back and fourth between the sky and dirt. I hate this so much..i normally just stop playing. Please Help me, or give me info on how to make it better. Very Appreciated. Thanks

Liam – it’s just your Xbox. I’ve burnt out three console’s and now just stick to my PS3 and I didn’t even HAVE the new CoD when I burnt that cheap-ass console out every other time, man.

ok ok, lets just get one thing clear, XBOX OFFICIALLY SUCKS, im not suprised people are still having problems with xbox 360, im on ps3, and i had my share of problems, but thanks to our free online playing, and sony and activision and treyarch they sorted out my problems, im no longer disconnecting to games, im able to invite all my friends and get into a game quicker than taking of my boxers when i i have a girl in my bed, PS3 rules. Oh and COD5 the next cod is being made by Infinity Ward,

Yeah Khan, you mentioned that before.

Im experiencing proper bad lagging during COD 5 online games and its getting worse, (PS3 ) I use a Netgear router and have never had any problems before.
My internet connection has been checked by Virgin Media and they say its banging out the 2 gig its suppose to, The first 2 weeks of having world at war it was’nt too bad at all with just the odd “connection interuption” coming up, now after maybe 1 minute of playing a game the connection is pathetic ! I live in the North East of England……. Is this a problem with tryarch or wot ? Or do i have a problem this end ? Its realy starting to get on my nerves !! Anyone got any info ?? Cheers

My son had COD 5 working for about 4 days, and then announced it wasn’t loading at all.

If you turn the sound right up the screen goes blank and you hear a couple of beeps.

Tried it on another PS3 game worked fine, a second working copy tried on my sons PS3 still didn’t work

All other games working properly

Suggestions

Its wierd i got disconnected from xbox live and now im downloading game settings wtf its taking years any solutions?

I have been having some anoying problems with my xbox360 COD5, when i try to go to the online lobby, it says downloading game setting. I have been waiting for about 3 hours now and nothing happend at all and it is freaken anoying. I was hoping if you had any thing to help, because i cant even play solo game or anything, and i bought this game for alot of money and i really do not want to bring it back. Email me back for help plz.

I have e-mailed activision about the connection issues regarding not being able to connect to all of my friends & all they have said is that it is either down to my port forwarding on my router or poor connection between us. This is bullshit, my ports & all of my friends are configured correctly, if it was down to poor connection then why can we connect in all other games including COD4, I have e-mailed this statement back to them & as expected they have not responded as it is clearly a fault at there end not mine! Surely something needs to be done about this, there are loads of posts on here yet this is the only thing in the media referring to any problems, everyone i speak to has the same issues, it is time they acknowledeged a fault & either rectify it or recall the game.

Ugh
I want to play CoD: WaW with my friend
But I can never join their partys
I have tried multiple friends and it doesn’t work
Even co-op I can’t join online with a friend
My friend Alex can do it with his other friend just fine
But with me it won’t work
I really want to play with my buddies because online just isn’t as fun when your not playing with your friends
Please try and fix this problem quickly

Ok i got the game and then i installed it on my computer then i got a new one and installed it and now it says create online profile and and ill enter 100+ different names and it keeps repeating and will not even load it immediately shoots back to enter a online profile name

I have COD5 WaW for the PS3…I have the same problem where I get a (game no longer exists) message when I receive an invite…My friends say they get the same message coming to my rooms…It sucks…There is the best Zombie room and I cant invite friends…
Well here’s some help to play with friends…I enter a room and before it fills invite your friend really quick or wait till the round ends and hope people leave then invite them…I guess if your the host it wont let him join…

I continue to get booted in the middle of online games when my headset is connected. It happened to me for COD4 as well. This time i can make it half-way through a match before i get kicked out. When i play Nazi Zombies i can make it to round 7 before i am told i have no connection.

I just want to play and talk some trash ; D (jk)

it definitely helps on team co-op’s.

Glad it’s not just me having these problems…………I get kicked out of almost every game due to ‘server timeout’ and now never get my post-game stats, such as the nemesis figures, headshots etc.

I cant play cod 5 onlinee !!!! im stuck in between “getting match quality” and “searching for available games” this sucks !!!

I had this same problem i found that if you wrap your PS3 up in a towel and run it in a game untill it gives you a errror message then reset your machine and bingo problem fixed

I have the same issue as others, i cant accept or send party invites, all we get is party no longer exists. As of region, my backside, me, my brotehr and my sons all have a copy brought from the same store in the UK, so no region issues, here. It would appear Activision have pulled a microsoft. In other words they have relaesed a half baked half finished product not worht the good money spent on it

AJB72- I have been having the same problems as you- i.e. i can never see the post game stats. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this is happening. ANY useful suggesstions welcome. Cheers.

if you cant connect to your friends you want to try turning your internet router off for 15 secs and turn it back on and go on cod5 and you should connect 1st time

Downloading Game Settings… is back on PS3.

EVERYONE:

I had the exact same problem with my xbox 360 and now I no longer have a problem, so this method may work for you:

Go into your router settings (usually by typing in your IP into the the browser bar at the top of the page?) and dig around but dont change anything yet.

Look for an option to turn on/off your Upnp. If it is off turn it on, if it is on leave it alone.

Next look for an option where it asks for you DMZ server or something along them lines; there should be 4 bars next to it prompting to enter 4 sets of numbers. This is where you enter your IP address of your Xbox360 so it can communicate freely with your router. I typed my normal IP except it ended in .03 instead of .01.

If it works please let me know

Matt

on the ps3 i was having the same problems ( cant connect to certain freinds, lobby timed out.. ect ect,

best off to check your NAT type… go to internet connection test on console, if you have a NAT type 3 connection you are going to have continuous problems…

the best way round this without having to mess about with port forwarding, is to manually assign network using the PPPOE setting…..

select internet setting-> custom-> wired/wireless->manual->auto detect-> pppoe-> enter username and password for broadband router( can be got from your ISP) and auto everthing else, then test connection and all going well you should get a NAT 2 or even better NAT 1 type connection..

now this will not solve every connection problem with the game but will definatly make it possible to connect with friends and stay in the same group for a good number of games…

hope this helps some of you, happy gaming

Couldn’t play COD5 at all last night….’downloading game settings’ for 30 minutes and nothing! Is this happening to everyone? or at least some? This sucks.

i have been unable to join other parties with friends. An error screen says the game session is not available. Though my friends have not the slightest trouble connecting with other parties. Whats the deal? email me 4 any advise scshortboarder87@cox.net

turn ya router off for 15sec and then turn it back on and you will not have downloading game settings and you will be able to connect to your mates straight away !!!!!

turn ya internet router off for 15 seconds turn it back on and you wont get no downloading game settings and you will be able to connect with your friends straight away !!

I had this problem with COD 4, but strangely not COD 5. Re-booting the BT broadband hub always cured problems getting onto the Network.

I have cod5 on ps3. i ONLY play online but im from Australia and most other people that play are from America. Which means my connection is very very bad. Is there a way i could have a local connection only? There is NO ONE in Lan party. If ur from Aus add me: LittleMan-43

Treyarch has GOT to make a patch for the glitch on Castle – it\’s exactly like the one on Roundhouse in the Beta release and IT IS GAY. Only people who suck go under the map…

i bought the game near the release date, and no problems. All working fine, until level ten. I get the rquired XP to advance to level ten, but isntead of upgrading my level, the lobby just says im level 9 still, adn 800 XP over the requirement. I cant level up!!!! i cant get guns or anything, help me!

i cant connect to any of my freinds in the uk nore can they connect to me
this is outrageous and it is miffing me off how can we resolve this problem remember i am in the uk is there any settings that can be changed??? or is it treyarch that has cocked up??? cheers salzam

I can’t get into an online match either… it’s frustrating the hell out of me because I never bought this game to play single player in the first place!!
I sit in a lobby waiting for others to join for over half an hour… what the hell is this crap!?
Thank God for Battlefield: Bad Company!!

PS3 by the way! Not happy at all!

i bought this game for the online play… i have cod4 and 5 and i have never once played single player, online is the way to. if online doesnt work these games r as good as garabge to me

well everytime i try to find a game, it just doesnt find one, gets stuck and keeps saying getting match quality or searching for available games. i hate it.
once my frined invited me oon but i was still so laggy it was impossible to get a kill! ridiculous!
what do i do?

I can not play with my friend. Even though I can on other games.
I can not invite him to private game, its say’s : the session is no longer available?????? I’m pissed because I just spent **&&^^%$ $60.00cash that I did not have, to play with my friend that lives far away! What are you going to do about this?

You guys gotta watch the video on how to get under the map on castle (it’s on youtube) just so you can kill losers who try to make it to that point when the level starts. It’s in the main courtyard. People who need to go under the map are people who suck normally at the game!

Guys! if you want online friend request to work, you NEED both parties to have port forwarding done on your routers and PS3 with a static IP.

Some games now in days will heavily require ports to be open.
And also, place the PS3′s IP address on a DMZ (which can be found in the router setting when you’re port forwarding) this fixed all my and my friends problems.

Now I can run parties with 8 guys and do a team deathmatch in COD5. =)

I was quite happy at first that this game was my first pre-order and I was excited for the extra goodies and all the hype for such an anticipated game. Now, all I have is animosity for this 60 dollar game that I might start using as an object to throw at the wall as a stress reliever. Being highly into studies at the University, I hardly have much time to relax and when you think about games like CoD: WaW you think of the good old days of being able to hop on for 15 minutes or so and get your kick out of it.
It is December 15 right now, 4 and a half weeks since this game has hit the shelves. I gave the game some time to try to sort itself out, but now it is just getting stressful and just not worth the effort. I tried looking on help sites, tech guides, anything that would help me try to remedy some of the problems with CoD: WaW. However, this is no avail there just simply is not a thing I can do about it.
The problems are the generic ones everyone talks about: “Setting Up” takes too long, “Downloading” takes too long, Server kicks you out all the time. Yes, all that jazz that makes this game so wonderful.
It is good to take a break once and a while and relax, sit down and play a good old shooter like CoD to relieve some of the stress of the day. However, CoD seems to turn people like me into raging lunatics who stress more about making the game work than how much stress the game is supposed to relieve. I might as well use the “Setting up Game” screen as a big chat box where I can hear everyone else doing something much more interesting rather than staring at the generic background with the words “You are wasting you time” plastered on the middle of the screen, like I am right now, while writing this comment. In fact writing this comment is making me feel better already. The psychological effect is humorous in that the online makes you have to play constantly to rank up and it is always that “excited” feeling you get of making the next rank that makes you turn the game on for another go. Only if you’re like me, you never will get another go.

I do actually applaud this game for everything else. It did impress me on the story, online, zombies (I mean who doesn’t like zombies?) and other things probably worth mentioning. It is sadly, the little things that make this game a severe disappointment in my eyes. I sincerely hope the developers will make an effort to fix these problems in the future. Until then, I’ll be using the disk as tool to scrap the ice off my car or something.

yea it will not let me on at all now can u tell me whats going on ???

yea its not letting me on at all now
can u tell me wats going on ???

Zombies??!!

I am still having problmes staying connected while playing the Wii – Worlds at War…..

This is SoooOoOoO ANOYING…

same issues here.. very excited when i first got it, beat story mode unlocked nazi zombies got to lvl 2 an it froze i thought ok bad host w/e, different game, same issue, till i got fed up, tried xbox live multiplayer team deathmatch, worked good for 5 rounds then got “connection interrupted” just as i did with the nazi zombies, thought it was a 1 time problem…. 3 weeks later, it still happens, i got so pissed off, i changed from wireless to wired router and WUT THE F*CK 20 f*ckin dollars gone thanks guys at COD you really kno how to make a money pit

BEWARE… DO NOT BUY
atleast until the problem is fixed.. IF IT EVER DOES GET FIXED

i got 21 kills on s&d yesterday, an it didnt count onto my score at the end of the game… like what the … ?

Hey, Cod Waw is really getting annoying now, there’s a few of us that live in POWYS and were all friends, we played cod4 together pretty much all the time, but on Waw it wont let us! i mean its not fun when you cant play with your friends really, we have the same problem on fifa too . its not any thing to do with the ps3 or server, cuz were all on the same line! an the reply some 1 at the top got from them sayin you can only join people in your region? thats a load of bullshit, i can join some 1 from india’s party, but not 1 of my nieghbours or some 1 who lives 15 minutes away, so they need to hurry up and fix this problem tbh!

my ps3 has never frooze tho when playing the game, but it will freeze when its loading a search an destroy game now and again?
oh well hope they fix this soon!
good luck all!

saw a couple posts about the level where you regroup with squad overlooking shore and level won’t end. I had the same problem. I had to resart the level and do it over again. I noticed that before you enter the tunnels ther is a pond and one of your guys stays there. I had to get him moving t ohte water and then a boobie trap goes off and he gets killed and another enemy comes out of the water. That was the only difference I noticed and then I was able to complete the level.

I am having an issue where at the end of a match online it shows my xp but on it will not show my kills, and who my nemesis is. Anyone know how to fix it so that works? Not a huge deal but still is annoying.

i was having a few problems like said with the game settings and i am still having these…. also me and a few mates were online the other day and we searched for a search and destroy match, but it seemed to put us in a team death match, it said search and destroy but it wasnt !!!! then people started leaving and it ruins the game especially if the host was to leave, people get annoyed and treyarch should definatly listen otherwise people will get annoyed and not continue to play the game therefore resulting in many people not being interested in call of duty although it is an amazing game !!! i also find that i get kicked out of alot more matches and lobbys than i did on cod 4

Hey Geoff, I’m at level 45 on Prestige and I have NEVER had any nemesis info show up after ANY match. The thing is ALWAYS blank.

call of duty 5 will not let me on online. it will not set up a match in the lobby it will take ages to find one. i give it a couple of mintues and then just give up. WHATS HAPPENING? also i had problems with call of duty 4 onlne aswell

well its not triarch its firggin hackers anyone get the message that someone has 92 bones and get kicked out of match? happens alot tpo me only happened twice in cod4 but in cod4 it had a differnt message werid fricking hackers

Danny Rose, you need to try and re-boot your server. I had the same problem on COD 4, but a re-boot of my home-hub stopped this happening everytime. Bloody frustrating though……………

I jus got the game yesterday, and i got online asap and played a bunch of games, got to level 6, then went to bed, now the next day, im online along with 100,000 other people, and i can’t find any matches. Im pretty sure its not my connection cuz i was on the other day, so why cant i get into any matches? please help.

I just got the game and i was very pleased until i tried to play online. I waited and waited but it could not find a match for me to play in. Why cant i play online??? There is no problem with my internet connection so what is it?

Well iv’e had the same problems as some, My game will just freeze before a match starts, not after, but as soon as you get to the point were you pick your class it will freeze… and its not just online its also story mode the cinematics work fine but once it comes up the title of the mission on the left and saving on the top the game just completely freezes.

Even the PS button doesn’t work :@ I got it today and havnt even got any gaming experience out of it. If any body else has had this problem and knows how to fix it could you message back, tar

I just jump out of the lobby if it takes more then five seconds to join one and then I search for another. Haven’t had any problems (besides “server timed out”) for about a month now…

still having problems, only bought the game yesterday and xbox live was fine but now dosent work at all, says it is connecting to game but then goes back to search for another one, really pissing me off

yeh its boxing day and i cant seem to connect to any of my friends…. whenever i accept and invite it always says “game session no longer avaliable” they better fix this soon or else i be really pissed off!

I got given this game for christmas and after a painfully long wait while my friends boasted about how they were up to lvl 25 ect i went straight onto the game today. I encountered something very strange while playing online. The first map will load perfectly bt when i try to play the next game the load screen goes to the end of the bar and then says the disc is unreadable. I know it isn’t scratched as after restarting the xbox and cleaning the disc it loads again. I’m really dissapointed and would like too hear from anyone who is getting the same problem…. thanks.

I will try what you suggested dementedDALEK and see what kind of results i get, i have been able to play a little but it is still annoyingly slow.

I have also encountered problems joining games on XBL. as i sit here typing this i think the timer is at 30min of searching and no games found. anyone care to tell me more? feel free to email me at: Davo_fonzie@hotmail.com. All ur help or atleast letting me know what the F*** is going on is very very welcome

Call of duty 5…..Bouncing betties and other second devices pop up when not called on….Pull my gun trigger and out comes a betty leaving me a sitting duck……VERY FRUSTRATING…. Then it is really hard to invite friends…..Was looking for some help with that when I came across this site…Alot of times the server times out…I am using a ps3 with a router….Dsl 10 mps Tried to plug in my controler to fix the betty problem thinking it was a frequency conflict same results….

making me so angry that i cant play this game online. i only maybe play 3-4 rounds a day because i keep getting kicked from the lobby and the wait time is unbelievable. seriously fix this problem the company who makes cod, im not much of a rpg guy, i like to be the best against real people. this game right now is worthless to me.

-pissed the fuck off costumer

Everytime i goto find match, it can never EVER find one. No matter how long i leave it on for… >.<

Yeah, actually I’ve never been able to get an invite to work since I bought this back on the 11th of November, so I don’t even accept the invites anymore…I actually forgot about that till I read some of your guys comments.

i am having an isue with call of duty 5, i put the game in and everytime i kept putting the same thing would come, either clean the disc or restart the console. i do both and the game still doent work. i returned the game and got a different cod 5 and the same thing still happenes, if u no wat is happening with the game or the xbox, please email me and i will really appriciate it

and the games arent scratched so please email me back ty

cant get into a match, just sits in lobby myself. when i was in a game the connection was so bad i couldnt walk. not internet so i dont know

Hey, Tracy Green. You know what’s even worse? Planting a Betty and having it detonate in your face when NO-ONE is around to trigger it. A freshly killed enemy will trigger it if you plant one right after you kill someone, but I’m talking NO-ONE is around and BOOOOOOOOOOOOOM! Drives me crazy…

I can play any match online except nazi zombies, i sit in the lobby forever waiting to find one person and it never connects, all other type of online matches seem to work

I am getting an error Message saying CL-CGameNeedsServerCommand: A reliable command was cycled out.

I cant get into a match. it just says getting match quality and searching for availible games. connection is perfect/ ports opened. please help me somebody.

I just installed a store bought version of world at war for my pc, and even after making sure the 1.1 patch was installed, only 25 inactive (non-functioning) servers show up, the titles reading “download patch” or “callofduty.com/update”

Anyone know what gives?

i can never find a game with a good ping, most of the time i can only get yellow bars, and when i do get green bars i get kicked off at the end of every game, or the server connection times out half way through a match. i wish they had regionalised servers, i dont realy care if i only play people from my country if it means i get a good game 80% of the time then its worth it. and as for it throwing you in to a game when theres only a few seconds left, that drives me f*****g nuts.
SORT YOUR SHIT OUT PLAYSTATION NETWORK AND TREYARCH!!!!!!!!!!!
I WISH I HAD NEVER BOUGHT THIS GAME

when the game first came out i had good ping all the time everytime, then they released some patches and it hasnt been the same since. nothing but red and yellow bars. and as we all know its no fun playing with a crap ping.
I HATE THIS GAME NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

the internet is taking forever to load and play just stays on the setting up screen but i can hear the gameplay i have a full signal strength so it must ne a problem with the server, it tends to jump into battle when its half way through after waiting 5 mins …. as u can imagine it is very stresful…. please help me out

im really starting to hate COD WAW, i have multiple problems, i constantly get kicked out of games, i cant start up the game(says there is a start up problem), i have to wait for 2 hours after im done playing zombies, because the loading screen wont go away, and the level after a big wall of water comes at you in the subway, wont load..so now im thinking about taking it back and getting the measly 30$ rather than the 60 i paid for it. there’s too many problems to the point where i cant play its really annoying.

My friend got cod waw a few days before christmas and brought it over and let me play on live for like an hour. It was fun and I ended up getting it for christmas and tried logging in and I cant find a match now. I don’t kno what happened between then and now condsidering that I didn’t play any other games and my xbox just sat being turned off but it pisses me off! All I kno is that once after like 45min of searching I found a match and got disconnected within 3 min. I have tried resetting my modem and router and everything but no luck. They need to fix this shit!

heeey, if your getting kicked out of a team death match it means you have killed 3 of your OWN team mates, if you arn’t noticing it , you may be killing them with a dropped grenade when you die, you can change it by making a class and checking your 1st 2nd or 3rd perk and make sure you don’t have that perk.

uhmm, my friend and i beat the game on co op, but once we finished it kicked us out to the start screen, and then i went to see if it showed the rest of the missions and it doesnt, and im upset cuz now i cant go back and play certain missions. It had already saved the first 4 that i did with another friend. but now that we finished the game it doesnt have the rest of them to play. can ne one answer why this happend?

WOW by the looks of some of these posts TREYARCH has done just an exceptional job of making this game, but who cares if it doesnt work, as long as they make money, right? i think they havent put the effort into making a truly exceptional game like COD4 was. i mean whats the point of making an online game if people outside the US cant even get a good signal and be competitive. i will NEVER buy anothe game made by these crooks, hopefuly the next COD which is being developed by infinityward agian (thank god!!!!) will have most of these problems sorted.

CANT WAIT FOR KILLZONE 2!!!!!!!!!

Welder-man – I hate that too buddy. It\’s even worse when it loads you into a lobby that IS ALREADY DONE.

Kara – what you’re talking about is only in HARDCORE. I doubt everyone here is playing hardcore.

Slightly different subject but on COD WAW. I can’t invite friends into my lobby but can invite then in if I’m already in a game. I can invite them in on LittleBig Planet but not COD WAW for some reason. Any ideas? Thanks.

I play C.O.D WaW with my PS3.. After long wait when ‘downloading game settings’ at multiplayer, i’m frusting and go back to the menu and choose ‘Ring Of Steel’ single player at mission select.. After a cutscene, it freeze and just a BLANK screen.. after i restart and i try DISABLE my internet connection, i go back to the menu and play ‘Ring Of Steel’ at mission select again.. but now back to the normal.. no freeze and no BLANK screen.. it happen only when i enable internet connection AFTER multiplayer … it just me or anyone else..? i’m very scared because this is my 1st time freeze at during play game since 7 month ago….. T__T

On PS3. Belgium
Yesterday I tried to logon to a party invitation of a friend. Every single time it gives me immediately a connection error and the invitation comes back over and over again. If anyone has a solution to this problem, please share.
I’ve never had any big problem playing online, joining matches and such. Yah, very few times, there was a corrupted connection during the match. More and more the last few days though. I have LVL 50 or something and have had it maybe 15 times.
Reading all these previous posts, I would have never bought the game. Stil I’m very lucky that I have such a minnor problems.
I have COD4 aswell, but never played it online, don’t ask me why. Tonight I’ll try to join a party of a friend and if it works, the problem is deffinately with WAW. If so, I hope TryArch will fix this problem. If not, I will NEVER buy a game of them again.
Still, I’m impressed by the game. This is my first COD online experience and it is really an adictive game. I’ve even made some new friends on it.

i got the game saturday and when i got online it was fine then the next day i tried and i couldnt get in to any matches and i still cant when are they gonna fix my shyt i wanna enjoy my online

Nah, man. I’ve had this game freeze my PS3, too. Sometimes, if ya light a smoke and just wait, it’ll unfreeze itself before your smoke is done. Hasn’t done that to me since the patch, though…I don’t play “Ring Of Steel” though, either.

dementedDALEK.. what’s u mean smoke..? Mine freeze only at SINGLE player after long wait at “Downloading Game Settings” multiplayer.. at single player, after cutscene… normally it show ‘saving…’ at screen right..? but my PS3 freeze and just a show BLANK screen.. after restart and “DISABLE” my internet connection, everything back to normal.. NO freeze or BLANK screen.. if i want to play single player with ENABLE connection, make sure 1st play only single player, not multiplayer.. if i start play with multiplayer 1st.. my ps3 will freeze again… T__T

it must just be the treyarch servers or something, because i was getting nothing but red and yellow bars on world at war, then i put modern warefare in and had nothing but green perfect ping,

Oh yeah man, we all know it’s Treyarch. There’s no problems with any other games.

As said in previous posts, I was unable to connect or stay connected to a multiplayer game. getting match quality and searching for games is burned into my brain now!

These problems were from my router not configured properly, check out this post: http://bunker51.com/?p=6

You think you all have problems not being able to connect to servers and things like that. When i put the disk into my 360 it dosent even register as me having put anything in there or it plays a short movie to tell me to put the disk in an xbox360, console but it already is!! I have had the disk replaced twice but i still have the same problem.Originally i thourght it was my xbox but I took the game to a mates place and he has the same problem . I really need some help so even if you have an idea what might be wrong or a possible solution please say something.

It takes forever to download game settings. Than once it finally does and I get a game after waiting in the lobby for 30 min, I gotta wait till half-way thru the match for the match to even load, it says “setting up game” and I get jipped…treyarch SUCKS ASS…FUCK THIS SHIT I WANT MY 60 DOLLARS BACK UNLESS THEY FIX THIS GAY ASS SHIT

Hi all just gt a PS3 4 christmas and every time i want to play co-op online it says
” this game session is no longer available” does any1 have a solution to it????

I am having the same problems when trying to play COD World at War online. in 2008 it worked no problem ever since the new year …..nada.. hangs and that about it for COD WaW. Has Treyarch made any official comments on the issue that seemingly many users are experiencing? Seems to be a bit of a marketing blunder and a good way to lose fans!!

my ps3 works perfectly and my connectioni very strog as i have a vey fast router and have never had online probles. but we i play cod 5 onlyne i gt up 2 the stage where im waitin for the game to load perfectl and then wen “seeting up game ” comes up im either stuck ther for 1 mins , get kicked out n if im luck join the game misig about 2 minz

plz help it used 2 work fine b4

i got the game yesterday, and it was working fine the online worked, and i was able to play easily. today was a different story i went to play online and sat forever while the game said “trying to join potential matches” or “dowloading game settings”. I tryed fixing my interent but i went and played resistance and it worked fine, im sorta getting pissed of

Hey abhijeet – your console probably just can’t understand your grammar and oddly spelt words.

Faulty connection for the past 2 weeks now, was fine when it first came out and played it. Nowadays I can’t play with my friends online, have to constantly change party leaders hoping that we can all get in the same group, same goes for co-op. Even when co-op or the multiplayer does work from time to time cant hear other players but they could hear me. The connection problems are plain ridiculous it shouldnt take a half an hour to start one match only for it to be timed out or some bullshit like that. As everyone else already stated playing cod4 there isnt a single goddamn connection issue but with world at war it’s pretty pointless in even trying. Wouldnt recommend to other people to buy.

Still having problems with mine.

when i try playing online for COD5 i get an error message that says “unable to connect to Activision Matchmaking (error 33)”

what the hell is going on????

Alright, this is gonna help a lot of ps3 users. If u r having any problems at all 1.) unplug router and modem wait an hour and plug back in. 2.) COMPLETELY format your ps3 after u save ur game data onto a flash drive do not do a quik format. 3.) go into system settings and restore deafault settings. 4.) delete cod waw patch and re-download it 5.) get an intercooler, problem may be overheating. Try one of these tips and if it does not work try another. Also if the game gets an 800 error code(8009875)(8006648)(etc.) and does not work at points u need to send it to Sony to replace it. It is most likely a laser eye problem. If none of these tips work email me at deathman123214@aim.com. I check email daily.

Hi since I got this game for my PC it seems that no matter how good my PC is or my skills as a trobleshooter I can run this game.
I was able to install the game do the download 1.1 and was great until day after.
No connection to the servers. So what I did was to re-install the game again.
From that day until today no matter what I do, I get all kind of errors after the installation with patch or not pacth. Besides after the installation my PC can’t recognize the game and starts to browse looking for the game.When I see the game on my desktop !!!
I go online I down the patch 1.1 and when I like to install the patch I get this errors: 1603, 1906.
Let’s said I re-install the game after so many bugs, I clean up all the cookies from the hard disk. The game start after waiting in that black screen for 10′ and then the game crash again. What can I do I did contact Activision there is a web site that I found yesterday and there is 1300 complains for this game!!! I can’ return the game because is already open.!!! so I’m waiting to see if there is any patch to fix this. I just came to your web site becuase I don’t know what to do at this point.
Please responde to my e-mail
thanks

I have two problems

1) “unable to connect to Activision Matchmaking (error 33)” , what is this?

2) Sometimes the first topic can be solved and i cant find a match…

please answer me to my e-mail

THANK YOU

When are the guys at Sony going to pull their finger out and sort this problem ?
I mean come on !
I had to wait like 2 months for this game (thank you again mrs santa) and i find out i cant even use it properly online. I thought my router was on the fritz but it turns out Sony have dropped the ball in online quailty…Shame on them

i connect to xbox Live everything seems good, i’m clicking find match and i get to a lobby. when the loading screen comes up, loading is done. and in the middel of the screen it says “setting up game” like 1-5 min mostly i join, but that’s after like 3 min or i get kicked out of the lobby or host. I thought it was my network but i have a realy good network very fast on my computer..

I don’t know what to do when i always get kicked out of lobbies or waiting like 5 min to get in to a match..?

FIX IT, Please..

Well its been a couple of weeks since i bought the special edition of COD WaW. Well i thought the game was beautiful until i tried the online play I was enraged! I haven’t been able to find a match i sit there for an hour waiting but it can’t find anyone and there are over 200k people playing at time. I mean come on the single player is fun and nazi zombies is great but getting the game just for that is kinda lame. I spent $80 on a game that i was highly anticipated for and wanted to get online immediately but could’nt if anyone has any advice please please post it!!!!

i keep tryin to get my frienf to join my party but it always say either server full or server error or somthing and we only live a mile away if that had anything to do with it but on the odd occassio (once) it has let him join my party but then i tryed it again and it would help!

Hey

PLEASE READ!!!!!!!

i keep having this stupid problem with online co-op,
when my friend invites me to a zombie game it wont connect to him??
its soo ennoying!

ps3 gametag = nayfun90

add me if you wanna play

whenever i am in the lobby and try to connect to other friends, a pop up window says that the forum is no longr available it sucks

does anybody know if treyarch has released the date for the next update for World at War on PS3??

I cant connect to any friends online.
It keeps saying “unable to connect, session unavailable!”

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

FOR PC GAMERS–I installed this patch [CoDWaW-1.0.1017-PatchSetup.exe] which as per COD web page should help with the problem… The issue that i got is that at the end of the installation i brings and error that won’t allow proper installation in addition to removing the executable files. [Error: 1906. Failed to cahce package c:\windows\installer\abafc.msi. Error:-2147286775. Contact your support personnel.] I tried stopping the installation when the final installation part start and it allowed me to boot COD WAW Multi Player and the servers show neatly… great improvement… however, i cannot re-start MP and most of the servers appear as invalid. I re-install the original program and sort of did the same thing as explained before, however, this time another error appeared when trying to load MP [Error during initialization: could not load defaul asset 'font/consolefont' for asset type 'font;. Tried to load asset 'fonts/smalldevfont'.]
(regular game loaded without problem… WEIRd Hum)

I really dont no what the fuck is wrong, but COD Support gives a shit, and no one seems to solve the issue… however, this is something to pitch in to see if we can solve this mess.

Me and a few friends from work recently bought cod5 on the ps3 thinking it would be a good laugh to play against each other. Unfortunately in the 4 weeks of having the game we’ve only once been able to connect in a private match. We keep getting the game session has closed error. Does this seem to be a problem everyone else is having? or are we doing something wrong? Its kinda idiot proof so Im thinking the later isn’t really the problem. Some feed back would be much loved

i have it on wii and every time i go to matches it wont find any the only time i can play online is when i go to privent match and play by myself

This game sucks. Bad connections all the time, it freezes and just frustrates the hell of me. It tells me 90000+ people are online, can I get a decent game? Not a chance. There seems to be no response from the people that produced tit, so if they can’t be bothered neither can I. Selling the piece of junk tomorrow. Or failing that just binning it.

I got CoD5 at christmas, and it was working perfectly since then. But to night, wen i went into multiplayer, it read “Downloading Game settings”, so i left it for about an hour like that, and it still stayed that way, so i just got pissed and quit it. Dont know what the story is with it, but Treyarch better sort it out soon.

I had the exact same problem last night but was sure it was my PS3 HDD, just kept saying downloading game settings constantly. Rebooted the consol and my modem loads of times but no luck!!
but tries again this morning and i got straight in! Quicker than ever it seemed, but maybe cos there were only around 30000 online!
Also this morning i got the ‘Error: dodj…………….has more than 126 bones. See consol for details’ message!! Never seen that one before!

This game has way too many problems. First the maps “Castle”, “Seelow”, and “Roundhouse” can be glitched by going underneath the map, but that’s a problem for all systems and not just the PS3. Also the matchmaking is horrible. You can get stuck with the same team throughout the entire game and the game won’t auto-balance and switch teams around. So if your team was good/bad the previous round you will be good/bad throughout until you quit. Teams are so unfair. Also the “Game Lobby Closed” happens WAY too often. The “Migrating Hosts” thing is a joke and it never finds a new host. Finally as of now I get stuck on the “Downloading Game Settings” and don’t advance from there. There is a Double XP weekend right now so I can Prestige. So much for that now

I also played this game on the Xbox 360 and this game has none of the problems I mentioned above except for the map glitches. It runs as wonderfully as COD 4 does. Listen Treyarch the next time you release a game don’t shaft the PS3 users of beta tests. I kinda regret buying this game for the PS3 but I was curious to see how PSN flies compared to Xbox Live. Apparently COD: WAW set a bad example of multiplayer PS3 porting.

Also it with my understanding that COD 4 on the PS3 works just as wonderfully as the Xbox 360 version but I haven’t been able to confirm that since I do not own the PS3 version.

well over the past few days i have been seeing some diffuculities with my call of duty world at war. It has been letting me online fine but when i go onto a free for all etc it wont load up what can i do to fix this?

I seem to get onto online games on ps3 quite easily. . . . . . . its afterwards that really sucks. connection timed out shows everytime even though most of the time I remain with the group!

Plus the bit where it should tell you your game stats says 0 for everything which is bloody annoying as there is nothing better than seeing how many times you screwed your nemesis.

So now I have gone back to cod4, which has put the smile back on my face, as its bloody brilliant! shall not be playing waw until fixed properly.

Have COD WAW for PS3 -
Can not find game online.
Forwarded all the required ports, even put PS# as DMZ.
No luck – this SUCKS.
I have Comcast with a netgear cable modem, not sure if part of the problem is with them.
It is amazing all of the problems finding an online game, so many posts.
I guess they do not need to fix glitches like this if us suckers keep buying their games.

i love the cod5 game my fav game in the world but the online gets screwsed up in the lobby it always says downloading game settings or it will search for a match but never gets to one its very annoying

ya carter is right the exact same thiong happens to me it just says downloading game settings or says finding potential mathce4s but one never pops up I waited about an hou 1 day waitng i never played a match in thbat entire hour please fix this problem the game rocks go cod5

I have a ps3 and all of the sudden I cant get connected to matches on COD5 online. I have strong connection but it still doesn’t work. what is wrong.

I keep having proplem with my call od duty war at war via try to join my clan in the lobby keep saying unable to join or ERORR or more stuff it really put me off whole game now its a shame and host kicks me out for no reason and while we wait to go in main game at times never loads properly.It starts to get me very angry..

what best thing to do if things not improve i may ask for refund of the game.

Everytime I try to get one of my friends to join my party it tells them that the game session has ended. This also happens when my friends try to get me to join their parties.

got this the other day on the 360 its ok but nowhere near cod4 anyway playin it everythin fine saved it half way through a mission went back to it a few days later went to start where id left off and it said error because of the software or somethin like that and i had to start from the beging of the mission which really pissed me off even tho u get an update when you frist but it on. has anyone else had this problem and how do i solve it?

This problem is riduculous. I can’t join a party I can’t create a party not even for a private match. This problem seriously needs to be sorted as it is a very important part of the enjoyment of the game.

this sucks!!! im not even able to play 1 match. its not my internet or my settings and i downloaded the latest software so if anybody finds out whats going on plz let me know.

When I first got it, it worked perfectly no problems. Now, when I try to play online with friends it will either say “Unable to join game session” or something (I forgot). Or, it goes straight to co-op campaign on Semper Fi. I was trying to get on Nazi Zombies, FYI. Any help please? :S

Its been over a month a im only encountering problems now.
Ive found it impossible to set up a party and cant connect to alone to any of the online modes.

Still takes like 30 minutes to get a game on mine. – January 29th 2009. You’d think this sh*t would be fixed by now WTF!?!?!

I play cod5 and its getting worse every day … at the begining it was a loss of time but you could go and play, now whene you do manage to creat a group with freinds , it takes forever to get a place on a sever to play.
once you played …well either you get kicked to the lobby and have to redo a group ( forever again ) or you are lucky and the group stays.. but still takes forever to find a game.

and the latest and gratest thing of all:

I was on the 3rd prestige level passing to 4th; , guess what .. i graduated to “rd prestige .. rank 1 , but , there is a but … all my level 65 weapons are still here ;; i can create a classe allthouggh i only just passer prestige and have a level 1 soldier….
since then , 100% of all the game i play i feall the play lagging , i cant kill people like normally, ( i usually have a 3 or 4 to 1 ratios in death match ;; i can barelly keep a 1 to 1 ratio since the prob…

I Am PISSED by the programing, and i’d fire the criple who did the programing on this game … consider yourself luky you are not herre , many people would like to tell him how happy they are about spending hardly earned money on SUCH A CRAPED OUT PROGRAMED GAME !

MAN THIS SUCKS

ya i have been having the same problems and it has over 3 months and they are still having these problems. why will they not just fix it?

for some reason on my ps3 if i wait awhile b4 i play single player or if theres an update i have to start all over. this has happened to 10 other friends 2

I have the same problem but when i tell you this tell the other people seems like they need help aswell. Ok, so what i have found out is that if you have your wireless headset on (same goes for the controller) them off before a game. You will know when this works when it says ‘waiting for other players’ turn your controller of 2seconds after this comes up. Sometimes it will connect byitself but doing this i can get bored of doing it lol. Hope it works for you!

mine works fine 99% of the time but errors sometimes wen i get invited and try 2 join
but DO NOT be put of from buyi,ng its an amazing game
BUY IT NOW !!!!!!!!!!!

Whenever my mates invite me into a game on cod5 i cant join it, it says the game session has ended when it hasnt. i dunno what it is so can someone please help me?

guys, i had soooo many problems playing COD5 that i gave it up and have switched to killzone 2. since buying it a few weeks back i have had no online issues at all. the controls took a bit to get used to but it’s all good now. don’t waste your time on half-assed, sloppy games!

i had same problem and it reset everything…so watch out! now it wont let me use any of the stock guns or perks with my create a class. Please Help With Fix!!!!

I was playing my call of duty world at war on an Xbox 360 platform. I was in multiplayer when I turned off me console from the power button. When I turned on my Xbox the next time and tried to play Cod:WaW I learned that I was now all the way back at Class 1. I went down 30 classes. These flaws in the gaming need to be fixed so players can continue to get the most out of their money.

Try using Cod:4 to play because the 2 games aren’t compatible.

My biggest problem is that the new maps on cod 5 have been set to all the game types and not just the map pack. i havent got the maps yet because i cant afford them yet.

Hey all, my internet connection is showing 85% on network settings but when i go online, it takes ages to find games, and when it finally does, i press select to see the player list, every other player has full or near to signal, and i have a tiny orange bar, can anyone help because its getting really frustrating and hard to play this game it keeps lagging, im blatently shooting opponents and nothing happens, i throw grenades well away from me, and kill cam shows me im still holding it! Please help people, starting to get fed up of 200 quids worth of playstation Thanks

This issue is intermittent and it’s really really really annoying. Tried to play 2 player co-op and I get “Session is no longer available”. It’s amazing that this issue is still not resolved.

i bought codwaw for ps3 a few months after its release so i may not have seen every problem the game had at the start before any update/patch but i encounter problems too…

when i get invited to a party sometimes itll say cant join game or game session unavailable …and if friends invite me to a game of s&d thats already started ill b on the opposite team sumtimes, same stuff happens if im the 1 that invites …i noticed in cod4 alot if u enter a game of s&d n u dont wanna stay cuz of the map for example , if u leave n go bak to the lobby n try to find another s&d game to play it goes bak in the same 1 u jus left n it duz it frum time to time alot couple times each time i play it …n now since the map pack 1 and the ps3 2.70 firmware update if i invite friends to my party n try to find a game of ‘search and destroy’ in the ‘core’ type it never works n no game is even entered ..jus keeps sayin tryin to find match…n even if im lookin to enter a game of s&d by myself it will take 4ever to find 1…never used to do that before and im using wifi at a 100% signal strength so is it just the codwaw servers being weak….servers for pc games r better..it would be better if we could choose a game type first n then pick a map we wanna play thats currently available …like in counterstrike …y cant cod do that…honestly i say sony ruined the success they couldve made with the ps3 on their own sort of…jus couldve been alot better in ways…

ive been playing cod5 4 a while now and got upto level 55. the next time i logged on it started me back at level 1.. not prestige or anything.. ive also still got all my guns ive unlocked.. is there anything i can do with out having to play out all the levels again? why did this happen!!

what does CL-cGameNeedServerCommand a reliable command was cycled out! what does this mean? its taking me ages 2 join a game and then when i dont get in this message appears! any ideas how this can be fixed?

this is happening to me too when i try to join a game it says setting up game… its so annoying and its not the disk because it happens to me in cod4 too . not my connection either cause we use the ineternet all the time. any idea what it is?

on the ps3 i try to join some matchees with my freinds but it ALWAYS says error game session no longer avalable??????????

my game got stuck too, next tme dont buy a new one. it can be fixed by being stubbern.

whenever i choose find match on ps3 it either cant find it, or says migrating hosts, 1, 2 , 3 , 4, and on 5 it kicks me out. how do i fix it? oh, and it only let me go on a match once.

I am also having these issues i just downloaded the map pack 2 and would like to play with friends online but cannot. I search for a game and get stuck on trying to join potential matches for about 10 mins then itll put me in a game by myself and none of my friends can join when i invite them. this is for private matches co op zombies and for multi player. it worked for about 20 mins last night. that 20 mins was the first time ive been able to play in about 2 months. This NEEDS to be resolved b4 i make sony give me a refund for the map packs i bought and are unable to use.

takes about 5 minutes to download game settings and whenever i click find match it doesn’t find anything. i’ve restarted my internet, restarted my xbox and the problem is still there. it was fine yesterday but now it doesn’t want to do anything.

yea everytime i try to connect with my frend to play nazi zombies it sais “Games session no longer available”. i so want this fixed…..

i think i found a solution for the invite problem
go to network setting then check media server connection then disable it..it should work..worked for me..hope this helps…

hey all! cod 5 is getting on my nerves……it take me ages to get into games and wen i do im booted out…but wen i do get in my connection is 4 bars or 3 and then wen the game finishes is just keeps loading till im well booted….bugging me big time…can any1 tell me why???????????? done a speed check on my pc with the modem and its just under 8 meg and 730 kbps so i dnt understand wat it could be???????? ive move my ps3 so was finkin that its overheating n that could be why???????? any1

Everytime I get on CoD: WAW online and go to find game, it takes forever to find a game and when it eventually finds a game my signal goes down to one bar. I’ve tested my connection, reset it, restarted my PS3 and it still does the same thing. I didn’t do this before but it’s been doing it for a week now. Any solutions?

lol mine is ps3, with 54 mbps and i live in south east asia (north of australia) and online games i mostly get only 1 bar of connectivity. i sometime get 4 bars if other players are from asia or australia.the difference of 1 bar and 4 is about 1 second lag.Means i keep watching myself die in slow motion when i clearly had empty whole magazines of bullets at them at point-blank range but hit nothing:(

other connectivity issues are during online game matches had to end due to connection problem. while there is a connection problem my char sometimes start moving by itself or keeps shaking lol(harder to hit anything with lag plus a vibrating gun) this includes zombies too.

in other FPS like resistance, online game has on bars of conectivity and no lag plus its a game thats a much older game. Is the problem the amount of graphics data or the synchronization program?

im very disapointed with the the game at the moment, just cant get on at any time, i either get kicked out the lobby or frozen during a game…very very anoying

ok yea i barly even get to play online because host leaving or because it just wont connect…with the Ps3.sometimes i get lucky and get in for bout 3 rounds.

i am having problems with the stick layout….when i look up it looks down and when i look down it looks up???please help!!

I'm having problems to play online all the time the world at wars ps3 is not wroking… just some times is able to play… what is happening with SONY or with CALL OF DUTY ?

this is a shame….

I hate call of duty games

if you have a ps3 you can go to settings then network settings and you have to enable media conection (the last 1) and then it should work

if you have a ps3 you can go to settings then network settings and choose the last option ( media server connection) and then it should work fine

I have the same problem, did you find a resolution?

hey indi, it wont even get past getting match quality for me

I completed game on easy setting with no problem, but playing on next setting doing same thing as you can t get past level 5 can t be bothered 2 try hardest settin don t trust it 2work.

The same thing happened to me and I have contacted Activision finding they are as worthless as most of their product and service. Have you been able to resolve this issue?
