is there a way to get four players online for one xbox 360? and yes there is some kinda of glitch because i just finished a game with 300 kills for an hour and it was 5 on 4 thats 9 people instead on the 8 it promised, it has something to do with hosting a game from the system like page im not too sure

needless to say I’m not buying Infinityward games. They dont deserve my money.

Stick with a company that knows how to code great games from the start. UBISOFT!

Thanks for contacting us again. Activision is aware of connection issues and a Live update is being worked on that should address the problem. We do not have a release date yet for this fix but as soon as it is available you will be able to download it via XBox Live.

Infinityward are rubbish, We have been waiting for a patch to resolve the online issues for nearly 3 months. So much for their company moto:

“Commited to excellence. Commited for life” My A$$ it should be more ” Commited to taking your money & not giving a stuff”

Customer service is pathetic they dont reply to e-mails or anything.

There’s rumors floating around the CoD2 patch got postponed. I haven’t been able to verify that against a reliable source yet though.

err, that last post was supposed to say WOULDN’T STEER CURRY WRONG…

heh, spell check FTW!

Steve_HOCP — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 22:03:35 +0000

I would never steer you guys wrong! And I certainly would steer Curry and the gang wrong (and vice versa).

Curry had the scoop, we have a few people that work at MS, we confirmed.

When we got a heads up on the patch that Xboxic broke the news on, we passed the info on to Curry ASAP.

the patch wou ld probably auto update whenever u sign into xbox live. it probably wont show until after 8 pm pacific time, as that seems to be when things have been updated so far such as demos and arcade games. it could be after midnight before it comes out here on the east coast.

I suppose the patch will be downloadable on xbox live marketplace? of somewhere else?

RP is correct, as long as Microsoft doesn’t officially confirm it it should be considered ‘rumor’. The number of inside sources confirming it unofficially makes it a well-founded rumor though.

By: Heist

Heist — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 05:21:29 +0000

RP, if you look here (http://forums.xbox.com/1663493/ShowPost.aspx) it’s an official post from IW and they talk about fixing lag, nothing to do with Game Saves.

By: RP

RP — Mon, 30 Jan 2006 03:30:25 +0000

[a] “Steve” (Hypothermia) has nothing to do with MS, so he knows nothing more than anyone else.

[b] If MS does not post a date and time then it is merely a rumor

[c] IW only stated they were working on a fix for the CoD2 save issue. They have not stated anywhere that they are doing anything else, so anything else is either rumor or wishful thinking only.

This Dashboard update betta bring all the stuff they promised us at E3 2004 and this new CD 2 patch betta fix lag, the so called “unable to join game session” problem,ranking issue, and hosting issues.

Will 99.99% sure be automatic and forced when you connect to Xbox Live.

Microsoft didn’t make Madden, and games like PDZ and PGR3 prove there’s no fundamental problem with Xbox Live. So yes, go complain to EA.

What they need to do and not forget about is Maddens 2006 freaking lag!…OH MY GOD, the game sucks so much without any true online gaming, it lags, and lags, and lags and lags….ect. Microsoft! HOW BOUT THAT? huh? anyways, i haven’t heard anyone complaining about that i decided to.

freon: the Dashboard update is supposed to solve most generic problems such as lost achievements and lockups

Why is everyone acting like CoD is the only 360 with software issues? Fix alll lthe frickin $70 titles, not just COD.

[…] Dashboard and CoD 2 updates early next week [Xboxic] […]

By: Norante

I believe it’s true, the information has been circulating around the net for a while with confirmation at least about the Dashboard update. Infinity Ward also said they were looking at the CoD2 issues, and it needs fixing bad, it’s giving them a bad name.

It should all be automated, with the Dashboard updating as soon as you connect to Live and CoD2 as soon as you start the game (or multiplayer).

I really hope they at least double the amount of players on CoD2 multiplyaer. Some maps are just too empty with only 8 people around.

yes, wait for a update along time to CoD2

“If its not on Major Nelsons blog, the its not true.”

More correct would be to say: “if he denies it it is not true”. Considering he doesn’t flat out deny this news, you can safely assume it is true

By: Curry

Curry — Sat, 28 Jan 2006 16:31:36 +0000

It’s not a first actually, first time you connected your Xbox 360 to Live you got an automatic update as well. Best to assume is that the Dashboard update is likewise fully automated when you connect. For CoD2 I think it will be automatic when you start the game, otherwise perhaps a marketplace download indeed.
