Modern Warfare 2: The most unreliable game ever?

Seriously, what's up with MW2's connection problems? There hasn't been a half hour of play time where my party hasn't be seperated while joining a game, a random game close with no error, the game closing while searching for a new host, and the stupid "out of memory error". Also, this game hands down has THE worst spawns I have ever seen in a game. You get spawn killed most of the time by an enemy player and 90% spawn killed when the enemy has some airplane killstreak reward. Thanks for (not) listening to my mini-rant. What does everyone think?

Last night i was getting time out errors, Host migrations (like 3 a match) and matches just not loading. Not to mention 30sec of lag at the beginning of each match. Heard alot of complaining from others on there as well. This was for 360, so its sounds as though its not console specifc.

The main problem is just the servers for MW2. I think their connection is like a paper cup and some shoe laces. No, but really, the servers were never good. It's basically like one big server trying to hold all the games. It doesn't workXx-Addict-xX

you do realize there are no servers for modern warfare.. right? its all p2p. The game does like to separate parties occasionally, but other than that, the host disconnections and timeouts are the people your playing with's connection, and urs.

lol, I always get a good laugh when people use "servers" and "Modern Warfare 2" in the same sentence like they know something about networking.

Mine is fine, it go wrong if Im downloading at the same time or if the host leave the game.

Yup, that's one of the reasons i fled to BC2 on March 2nd. WAY better than MW2... and no connection problems!

i quit COD MW2 a long time ago...

I just wanna know if this is only on the ps3 servers? cause my friends who play it on 360 have very little connection problems, while i get a whole mess more on my ps3.Grr117

Modern Warfare is less buggy from what I've played than Bad Company 2.

MW2 uses P2P. the guy who has a better connection wins the firefight often.

This is why PC gamers were pissed about no dedicated servers.

Yeah, I get the "Out of memory" message as well. Anyone know what the hell that means? I've never gotten that message over XBL.

Well it may have annoying connection issues, but its still the best multiplayer game available

As much as I hate the game, people take it to extremes saying that online is the most unreliable game ever. I rarely ever had problems due to lag but it was more so the gameplay and maps that killed it for me.ExoticAnimal

The worst connection failure I'vehad is when it says that "activision sever connection timed out" i have to wait like 10+ minutes before i can join a match again.Legallyblind795
