Are Modern Warfare 2 PS3 Servers Down? Online Status Hangs
Filed under: Gaming, Sony Playstation 3
Looks like we have a temporary crisis on our hands folks. It appears that online multiplayer for users with the PS3 version of Modern Warfare 2 is ‘completely down’ – following a trophy patch last night.
News is spreading like wildfire on the net, that matchmaking is hanging on the online lobby screen, leaving players with the ‘Connecting to Matchmaking Server’ screen under Online Status.
A quick peek on Robert Bowling’s Twitter account and there is no updates from his last message stating that a patch was incoming to fix the party invite problem – a completely separate issue.
Lets hope that a solution is found soon, as we’re sure theres a lot of puzzled gamers out there wondering what to do.
We’ll keep you updated asap when an official statement is released on the problem. In the meantime, let us know if your matchmaking returns to normal, as it will keep other readers informed.
( P.S..Please IW, don’t reset my stats!)

Modern Warfare 2: PS3 Servers Back Up
Modern Warfare 2: Javelin Glitch patch update for Xbox 360, PS3 soon
this is a problem….the second day and this is here? I cant fathom what type of patch they need to figure out but it seems like they dont know what to do at this point…it been too long and these experts dont take long to create a patch
not even 36 hours since the game was released,have we all the same problem,what a bag of *****
Well that explains how people were on level 40something less than 12 hours after the game had been released!
How did you get it early?
i need some help i have this game for ps3 but every time i try to go online it jus says waiting for matchmaking server, and i downloaded the latest update 1.04.. I am not sure if it is my internet settings becasue i tried by a friend and it worked PLEASE HELP ME..
no kyle, alot of people have been having this problem. It is unfortunately a PS# only problem. Currently there is update 1.06 but it only worsened things. I have been trying to play online an cant either. I would recommend you report the problem to infinity ward aswell as play either special ops or another game.
Is the problem still happening to you?
Damn it was work wen I was playing at 6 in da morning till like around 9:30 lol good thing I got it 4 days early hope my rank n updates stay da same I’m at lv 35 n I played hard for dat lv
dude i was mad scared i thought it was my ps3
lmfao. My little brother (10) was crying because he couldn’t get this game to work. he was trying for two hours.
Your 10 year old brother shouldn’t be playing a game like this – that is sad!!
Haha, kids these days. Right?
are you like batty!!!
ur brothers a *********
you little slagawag
ROFL thats hilarious. But I’m about to start crying myself.
thank god its not just me! im itching for a play though and with the single player being completed and dispensed with in under 5 hours and the covert ops not worth the time alone i got nothing to do!
you are in exactly the same boat as me. game was too short and all i wanna do is play a little TDM…….. WHAT-THE-****!!!!!
so dissapointing so dissapointing
wow me and my friend played the spec ops thing together with the servers being messed up and it was pretty funny acually, i would see him die all the time but he would say he is alive and when i died i would be kicking ass on his screen, and then i ran up to revive him and he knifed me and i died and he said he saw an enemy running up to him, everyone should try it while they have the chance with the servers down
this is crap come home from work and cant play c.o.d modern warfare 2 online its just been 1 day since the release of this game this better not be a regular occurance
I can connect to the matchmaking server, but the server will not fetch playlists or update my ranks and unlocks. Yesterday none of my friends could connect to each other. This is ridiculous for the bizillions of dollars that IW has made on this game already. It has been 2 days. This is pathetic.
I know this is so annoying. Game has been out for a day and already server is down. I have also complete campaign and I am wanting to play TDM.
11/11/09 – Very disappointing! Raced home from work to have a quick go before the misses gets home and met with – connecting to Matchmaking Server. After a while another screen comes up with Fetching Playlists, Updating Rank and Unlocks, Connecting to Matchmaking server complete and then the screen goes blank to be replaced by…..Your sign in status has changed, returning to the main menu!
Hope they get this problem sorted soon!
hahahaha i got mine for the xbox360 and this is why xbox live is a hell of a lot better then psn folks lol.
P.s anyone want to play some codmw2 my screen name is (DeathsHandxx).
Many of us on Xbox are having the same issues, genuis…
Hahaha well I’ll keep my ps3 and now pay monthly for online play and get better games with better gfx, the ability to go on the internet through it and watch blue ray on it (which is better than HDDVD). Not to mention ps3 has a kick ass store with loads of stuff to download like games and stuff to customise my UI.
You can keep you Xbox.. shit does anyone want mine? Its collecting dust.
I think he means not pay monthly.
haha you won’t be laughing when your Xbox gets the “red lights of doom”
Xbox is scamming people for money, I mean, pay per month?! thats whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack!
I would rather pay for xbox than not pay for ps3 and have downed servers. plus the xbox exclusive games are better. like gears and halo… oh and of course a working MW2 multiplayer
shut up. stupid xbots will find any reason to try and bash the ps3. go play your game then if it works and shut it!
i really hope iw will solve the problem before going to bed
do any of yoy guys remember whether servers were down shortly after cod4 release?
no this did not happen with cod 4, i am thoroughly pissed about this btw
This did happen on COD5 though, it was fixed in around 24 hours i think.
