COD 4 PS3 online running smoothly

Posted on November 15th, 2007 at 04:33 EDT

We recently reported that Infinity Ward was working hard to end the dreaded "Downloading Game Settings" message that popped up when attempting to enter the online mode of their addicting shooter, Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. We're glad to report that everything now seems to be running smoothly for most gamers.

The issue was regarding the massive hit their servers were taking - they just didn't expect that the amount of players that bought the game were playing online. There was no patch, simply a server upgrade on their side.

I myself was able to connect to an online game for the first time today, prior to logging a flawless two-hour session (network-wise). In addition, there has been far less complaining and repetitive thread-making regarding COD4 online issues on our forums - we can only assume that's a sign of less forum-going and more COD4 online gaming. Let us know how COD4 online is running for you in the comment section.

I actually got a few games last night but was still having slight problems when trying to invite a friend into my game. I kept getting a error message everytime I tried to join his game so I just gave up in the end.

For those of you having a problem connecting with your friends, it may be something to do with your internet setting. Could be your NAT Type setting is not compatible with each other.

I was in games for 8 hours yesterday. (Yes, 8 hours). The only thing is the servers DO keep ending the games. What's up with that? I also don't like how you can't spectate for more than a few minutes. I guess that makes you do things faster so you're not sitting in idle. Otherwise you'll have to wait another 5 minutes to find a match.

Same here DParadise. I have no problem getting in and playing games, although sometimes it can be a little slow joining matches. But like you, I get errors occuring when trying to get friends to join my game or vise versa. It usually quits out my whole party session and I have to set it up again, although everyone can usually join me once I do set it up again. Apart these few little bugs, this game is brilliant! I even prefer it to Resistance now.

Ive been playing it since Tuesday and it really does run smooth. In regards to idle time I'd say its less then 5 minutes, I gotta' tell you guys though, this game is addicting, I'm already at sargent class and gotten killed 100 times!m but Ive also killed 94 poor souls, anyone with a PS3 should not miss out on Call Of Duty 4, now if only they had Split screen online mode.
