Modern Warfare 2: PS3 Multiplayer down due to server overload
Filed under: Gaming, Sony Playstation 3
Following on from our earlier post which informed you that the multiplayer mode in the PS3 version of MW2 is completely out of action for the time being, Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling has stated that the servers went down due to a traffic overload.
If you head over to his Twitter account, you’ll see that he has been tweeting away, giving explanations and assurances to people that the PS3 multiplayer will be back up and running asap.
In his most recent message, he states that the PS3 version will not require another patch (currently at v1.02), as there is no problem with the code, just a server overload.
So there we have it. The problem is being addressed as we speak. Frustrating I know, but hey what can we do. We’ll update this report when the servers are back up.
You have to say it’s pretty disappointing just a day after the official launch. Let us know your opinions on the downtime.

Hi Guys, Ive Got Modern Warfare 2 on PS3 and it wasnt giving me some trophies so they released this patch but since i downloaded it i went to try get another trophy and i got one which i already had so i looked at my trophies and they’d all gone can anyone help please add me psn:chazlfc4wws
Well, IW’s forums and community section of the site are having issues right now as well. I think that they need to boot Demonware and find a company that can fit the bill.
And I Was Just Wondering whether its possible i will get them back or will i have to re-do the story and i want to know if ive still got my online data cos i wasnt doing too badly to be honest! add me psn:chazlfc4wws
hopefully the online data should be preserved, unless they have to clear the servers holding that data to get them back up and runnning, which i can’t see them needing to do. *fingers crossed*
phew, thats understandable though a server overload, guess ill just read a book till its back??? I CANT TAKE IT BRING IT BACK NOOOOOWWW
i cant even check out my trophies… every time i try to check them it loads half way and then an error sign comes on .. does this happen to anyone else!!!!!
I’ve had multiplayer issues on MW2 PS3 since day 1. Day 2 I can’t even play the game online. You would think that all the money being spent on this game that someone would have this figured out before launching the damn game!
Thanks for telling me about the problem.
A few hours ago i got the update and that picture came up, i was really annoyed with Infinity Ward, but i guess that it not really their fault although they should of got more servers!
HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE!!!???
u think that knowing that this was prolly gonna be the most anticipated game release ever they would have thought about that…now i am not complaining because i got a solid 5 hours of online play yesterday…i just hope it gets fixed so we can never stop killin ppl
