COD 5 Xbox 360 and PS3 server problems: New local options

COD 5 Xbox 360 and PS3 server problems: New local options

By: Daniel Chubb | February 4, 2009 | 8 Comments

It happened in Call of Duty modern warfare and now it’s happening again in COD 5 world at war. The issue is problems with the server and connecting with friends while playing online.

Issues are vast with problems downloading game settings, errors thanks to ISP’s blocking certain ports, problems connecting to friends and saying that the host is no longer available, games dropping thanks to a very low connection with the host that lives in another part of the world to you and many more problems (feel free to share in the comments).

So what can be done with a patch for COD 5 on the Xbox 360 and Sony PS3 to solver these server problems and what can be done to improve the online play in the next version (COD 6)?

One way to improve online gaming is with better local server options. An option to choose from local servers or to block 2 bar and below connections. Vote in this poll about COD 5 WaW local server options.

    First off, “COD5 World at War” isn’t the fifth COD in the series. its COD: World at War as it never was given a number like call of duty 4: Modern Warfare. Also, COD 5 should be out later this year if all is true.

  • Some Guy

    Nice to see product-reviews.net continuing their stellar reputation for terribly written, poorly researched drivel.

    I’m quite new to the whole online gaming thing.
    I have COD:WAW and I hate playing on int servers.
    How do I get the option of choosing only loca servers?

    in cod4 when you invite your friends to join your party then its not as bad as cod:waw cause in cod:waw it keeps getting errors sometimes and you gotta sign out and sign back in, and sometimes that dont even work too, so its messed up and when u try joining a game it says lots of players online close to a 1000 in search and destory games most of the time and then at times wen u go into a game and u dont like the map then leave and try to find a new game then it goes back to the same 1 sometimes very annoyin
