Having only tested Call of Duty 5: World at War for a few hours we have not been able to test everything but in this short time we have noticed something really bad with the Sony PS3 version…connecting to friends.
Surely these COD5 problems are not just with the Sony PS3 version of the game, the Xbox 360 must have them as well. If you have played the 360 COD 5 then please confirm if you have had connection problems.
Some gamers have been sharing their problems with Product Reviews, one gamer said “Had the game since sat and not once stayed in the same team twice in a row! keep getting kicked out. Also unable to join with friends either when I invite them or they invite me! Very disappointing”.
Another person who has had no problems with COD 4 connecting from Canada to UK users had this to say “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 an error, unable to join party message!!! Really really frustrating”.
Are these Call of Duty 5 gamers alone and is this issue tied to just the Playstation 3?

Sorry should have said it is a PS3 I play on…… well try to play on!!
Sorry should have said its a PS3 I play on.
i have the ps3 version and it works great ps3 kicks 360 ass !
I have had a similar problem with connectivity and i traced to the motion sensor in the controllers. if the motion sensor option is disabled the problem goes away.
Ive got a ps3 u say disable motion sensor how do u do that?
have both I got 1 for my ps3 but online was MIA so got the 360 version the same day and no problem with it. Ps3 dousnt feel like a online type of system, explaines why they dont charge you. If they did it would be considered a crime : )
i bought COD: WOW on the x-box 360 and ps3 last night, the ps3’s online works really smoothly with no problems, on the same connection on the xbox i couldnt get into a single match withou being kicked or having the host end the game. other problems with the 360 version include textures not being as good as the ps3’s, these are both un-biased views as i actualy have no preference over the ps3 or xbox 360.
i am trying 2 play online, and all i get is a message saying downloading game settings…. NOT FAIR! LOL! its not just me most of my friends (in uk) are having problems, at first it would get me into the lobby and when i go to find game it says downloading game settings,,, then,,, i restarted everything, my router, ps3 and even switched my tv off LOL! but to no effect. now all it does is before i select multi player is says downloading game settings,,, fair enough cod4 had some probs but nothing like this,,, activision make a much better script then the cod5 people,,,… p.s modern warefare set the trend, why go back to ww2? why not do like a ww3 theme,,, china against the rest of the world,,, with similar if not futuristic weapons,,, big let down.,,,, pps …also most of the top 50 are cheaters,,, doing same old moves to get up in the ranks,,, no remedy for some cheating
Got the 360 version and its started showing vertical lines on the single player!!!! Very annoying, colour changes to nearly a negative too!!! Anyone else got this problem?
