Updates for 11/13/2010

The browser is currently not showing all results again. The party that deals with the browser (daemonware) is aware of the issue and is currently working on it.

On our end, we are taking a close look at certain servers in locations that has a 100% working network, but showing ping variance.

Traceroutes that have been provided for each of the locations have been submitted into the networking teams at each of the locations to check on possible issues with their routing.

Overall, we have been pushing over 11,000 servers servicing a peak of 105,000 players!

While there are some problem servers, we are determined to get to the root cause of each and every issue that arises.

If you have noticed, some of the locations are now on a waitlist which will have the actual ETA on new servers. Our provisioning department is working as quickly as they can to add additional servers to each of the locations along with additional network gear.

Man the lag from shooting is driving me nuts.

 

[Gtx Gaming]

nice don't see any servers fml >.<

 

[Insint]

I played some wager matches now. I was owned, lol. I lost some money but when I left the game. I could not see any servers again. :/

 

[Isengard]

Oh well my entire Saturday that I had hoped to play online has gone to waste. One can only hope this servers browser issue is resolved by tomorrow.

The lag is still hectic hey. I'm using a 4mb unshaped IS account and I still can't shoot people that is bouncing around my screen. My ping is 40.

 

[Cube3]

Anyone know if there is a way to show only RSA servers ? I hope they add a filter for location

 

[Gtx Gaming]

yes just click favorites then show the low ping servers aka s.a

 

[EtienneK]

Perhaps you can point me to one review, pre-release date, which predicted this catastrophe?

You come across as a glass is half empty kind of guy. A semi-sadist to boot.

Why pre-release date? Didn't you read my comment? I said don't buy a game on release any more. Rather wait for reviews and if there's no game-breaking issues, then go and buy it.

 

[Captian Morgan]

This game must be the biggest load of *** ever released, wow I cannot even connect to bloody server, without the game crashing out, I wish there was a way to ask for our money back cos Treyarch must be smiling all the way too the bank.

That's not how it came across. More like you, laughing your ass off, at us fools for not knowing the game was going to be broken out of the box. There are always hiccups when new games are released, but this would be the first one which is unplayable from day one, in my experience. In your world, nobody buys the game on release and issues with it just won't ever stick their nasty little heads out.

Nah dude. There will always be idiots that buy it on release, so you don't have to worry about that.

Just don't be one of them.

unfortunately this idiot knows about half made games and expected this game to be in working condition since treyarch made cod waw and it was working on launch day for me, so i expected this one to work the same since its the same @#$ but no , they asked the shower man to write the code and in return it almost landed in the bin like gothic 4. "almost"

 

[Rudimental]

Lag and stuttering aside, I think this post on the steam forums about sums up the game:

You just died!
What killed you?


A: An Explosive

B: Famas

C: Killstreak (RC-XD!)

D: Ak74u

E: Knife
