Infinity Ward says it is working on a resolution to address PS3 online problems following server troubles
Infinity Ward, the development team behind recently released next-gen shooter Call of Duty 4, has said it is hard at work on resolving the online troubles the PS3 version of the title has faced since its release last week.
Many PS3 gamers have reported that they are experiencing a number of connection errors when trying to join online games. Thankfully, the problems seem to have spared the Xbox 360 version.
The issue does not stem from the game, the developer adds, but with the servers, which are struggling to cope with the high number of players who have snapped up the title. A statement read:
"The only real issue is that the servers we're getting hit really hard, especially with the launch in Europe doubling that traffic. It’s just something that requires optimising on the server side and we've been working with the PSN COD4 Server team from the moment it started having issues assisting any way we can to help them get them up to speed faster."

Online issues...
We have had people in the store all day, with Xbox360 and PS3 copies complaing about online issues... it's just not good enough. Infinity Ward new this was going to be one of the biggest selling games of the year. The servers should have been ready before the release.
Re: Online issues...
Once again, another PS3 issue that will do nothing to dent the publics perception of this over hyped piece of s**t.
Re: Online issues...
I'm talking about the console, not the game...
Re: Online issues...
oh yeah, like the xbox 360?
Re: Online issues...
@ 2 and 3:
A badly programmed game because the developers are not very good at writing games, don't understand the console well enough, got rushed to release the game before they did thorough testing or any other reason, for that matter, does NOT mean that the console is ****.
Crikey, if that's the case, well then the X360 wins that award hands down, because you don't need to even mention a game that has problems on it.
The hardware seems to do a very good job of failing all by itself, with things like overheating and the RRoD error, without a single game disc being anywhere near it!
Stop your scaremongering and move on...There's nothing here for you XBots.
And before you ask, no I don't own a PS3 or X360 or Revolution.
Re: Online issues...
In response to Zed Zee's comments:
My whole point about the machine being overhyped is to do with the very fact that developers dont understand the hardware. What use is the console if developers cant code for it?
I'm not a big fan of Activision's releases but to imply that the developers behind COD4 are not very good at writing games is a bit weak.
Yes, Xbox has had its fair share of problems with its software but with all due respect, the 360 range of software outnumbers the PS3 catalogue by about 6 to 1. You do the math.
And just for the record, I also do not own a PS3, 360 or Revolution (Wii).
I hate all of them equally various different reasons. Microsoft and Sony for helping strip the industry of its creativity and originality and Sony and Nintendo also for how they have treated the European market for the last 10 years.
I couldnt care less about any of them to be honest, it just annoys me how everybody always backs Sony even when theres no reason too.
Hope you understand where I'm coming from now....?
Re: Online issues...
I have the same problems on PC, but Im not that fussed. Infact, Dont moan, because it was your choice to buy the game quite soon after release. Also If you can't handle getting into a game, then play something different. I have troubles sometimes. but it doesn't stop me playing. Stopping being a bunch of ****s and be patient. People 20 years ago had pacman and stuff, think yourself lucky your not stuck with that.
Re: Online issues...
Tried to play online on the 15th Nov at around 9pm, no luck

Re: Online issues...

Re: Online issues...
AND WHAT SUCKS IS ITS MY ONLY PS3 GAME ATM IT WAS SO FUN I DIDNT NEED TO BUY ANOTHER ONE YET
Re: Online issues...
Lol, we all know the ps3 is the biggest piece of over priced s**t to ever disgrace the console market. Why bother fixing something that has the online capabilities of a 486 computer..
Work with this Infiinity Ward, fix and monitor any slight issues with the X360 version and stuff the ****py PSN as it isnt worth the time or effort!
Re: Online issues...
Tired of the PS3 issues
Multiplayer character levelling resets on each restart of the
ps3 or disconnection from the network. Anyone know
what the go is here?
Re: Online issues...
on the online play every time i achieve another rank when i log off and then on again my rank is demoted to the same number every day on the PS3 platform
Re: Online issues...

i upgrade to a new rank, then i turn off my ps3
and i have to do it all over again!
Re: Online issues...
Wouldn't unfreeze on download settings (fixed now after 1 week) to not saving my progress online, nor four of my buddies progress, very aggrevating when you rank up and play for hours (level 34 to level 42) and nothing is saved as soon as you turn off the ps3, hope this is fixed soon.

Re: Online issues...
The 360 crap cant even compete with the Wii, because it does not work!
Re: Online issues...
As fast as my cable internet is (20mbps) it clearly is'nt the issue. however when i try to play online i find myself waiting all morning for 3 players to join my match. however once i do find the 3 or more players i get disconnected every now and then, which ofcourse is very fustrating
Does anyone know why the PS3 servers are overloaded and not the Xbox 360 even though there are less players online as oposed to the Xbox, and as for the PS3 (INTOX1337--we all know the ps3 is the biggest piece of over priced s**t to ever disgrace the console market) however the PS3 costs $1600 AUD to make but only sells for $1000 AUD so its a lot better to buy a PS3 thich is NOT an over priced piece of s**t in fact being underpriced.
Re: Online issues...
To all you retarded fanboys out there, XBOX is junk. No one wants to hear you whine about the ps3 because you wasted your money on a pos.
