call of duty 4 online help plz

i submitted this topic twice and it didnt come up so sorry if suddenly it got posted and there's 2 of these topics

but yea, i cant get into a match at all. i reach as far as the countdown and then it goes back to the lobby and i get a message saying ' GAME LOBBY HAS BEEN CLOSED' ' PLAYER HAS BEEN KICKED' . help plz

i just got the game and already downloaded the updates

this is messed up man..

i finally got into a match, i was like 3rd or 2nd for a while , and it took me back into the lobby and i got this message

"Trying to set client stat number 290 while connected to a server then it said DOWNLOADING SETTINGS and ' YOUR ONLINE STATS HAVE BEEN RESET TO 1'

well i guess i wasted 80 bucks cuz thats how much games cost here.

straight up BULL___

now its back to the same crap about GAME LOBBY CLOSED. then in the lobby, it keeps telling me that my stats r at level 1 and 'DOWNLOADING SETTINGS' .

hey its already 'TOMORROW ' here, 2 am. lol

i'll try again later on today. there's no such thing as 'RETURNING GAMES' here either so if this online thing doesnt workout, then i got JACKED 50 DOLLARS cuz the offline is worth 30 to me.

OMFG!!!!!!!!! i keep getting 'KICKED'

is there a way to host your own matches? it seems its the only way i can not get KICKED

this is so lame
