Man, I hope it gets fixed soon. COD2’s the only X360 game I’m any good at.

Don’t think it’ll be so on the X360 since you’re already paying for Xbox Live.

Do you know if you will have to pay for a seperate subscription to the game. Because some of my mates have told me you have to for some of the pcs mmo games.

JizMonkey: this very year Huxley, an MMOFPS, will hit your 360. From IGN:

“Huxley is a massively multiplayer online first person shooting game utilizing the UNREAL3 engine to create a world of up to 5,000 players in the same gaming environment.”

Don’t look forward too far or you might miss what’s very near

The maps in cod2 were not designed for 8 players because they are the same maps as the pc version, and i have played a 64 player match on the pc, on the same map ive played on my 360. Altho it was a round based game were you didnt respawn until your whole team was dead But ive happily played these maps with 32 players on the pc.

I just look forward to the days, probably in about 10 years time, when we have full scale online wars with 512 odd players and huge maps.

Clearly this is not true. 27 people??…Come on…You would have to have a mighty good connection for that type of game. and I highly doubt they will make it a 64 player game when the maps were designed for 8 ppl. Id say 12-16 players max…No way it will be 64…nothing but BS internet rumors

About time they did something about it but im not sure i will play it much once a few of these new games are out.

Would have been nice to have worked properly from the beginning for the £49 i paid for it!

Steve: added an extra disclaimer that we also consider the email to have an 80% bogus chance

Let’s hope there is a fix coming out, but I am afraid that I think the e-mail you received from the person with “close ties with one of the developers” is bogus !

Come on xboxic, has no one there played the game on the 360 ? There is no way on earth the existing maps would support 64 players! Not unless you wanted a game of spawn, die, spawn, die !!!!

I know you have this listed as rumour, but surely the e-mail would have been better off just being deleted rather than published on the site !

Once GRAW comes out i will never EVER EVER EVEERRRRRRR play this crap online again.

Lets wait until GRAW comes out eh, before we pass judgement on it? It could be shit. Yes, the patch is late, but if what is said in the article is what ends up being added to the game, then i’ll be playing, stop moaning. 12 vs 12 makes for a very frantic match in the current levels, so im sure some more bigger levels will be on their way too to compensate for the new player additions. I’m pissed at IW & Activision too, but when it works online its still a brilliant multiplayer game so I’m still glad for a fix.

I don’t give a damn about whether MS wanted a FPS at launch or not. 4 months have passed and still no friggin patch is total bullshit. I agree with you all here, it’s just way too late for COD. GRAW > COD anyways.

wow…… i think i would have to agree 100% with the posters above, because i dont feel like typing that much.

i am not saying i won’t play it if they fix it, but in the life curve of this game, it has already peaked. it’s almost over, and as gamers, we pretty much all got screwed. yes, the single player campaign was great, but that pretty much means rental only for me. i payed good ass money for the multi player experience, and it not only sucks in terms of options, the lag is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. this game will be obsolete when the new round of games comes out next month, so one more time…

I guess everyone is jumping on the blame Activision and I.W. wagon… not thinking that Microsoft pretty much wanted at least one first person shooter at launch. Probably threatening to revoke game production rights for 360 if it was not pushed out for launch.

If it would have been GRAW on 11.22.2005… then we might see the same issues or less than the March 2006 release (if memory serves me right, GRAW pulled out at the last minute… oh yes, I had a pre-order for GRAW since 10.8.2005, expecting it on 11.29.2005). Since MS had its first person shooter, it was OK with GRAW not being ready.

I am not 100% happy with COD2… but, for the choices… it is the best game so far. If and when they get it fixed, I will be glad to play it.

Signed

Huge GR Fan… but, thankful for COD2 as well.

They are 2 different games. As long as they fix the lag, make good lobbies and friends only games, I will play this just as much as GRAW, if not more. Don’t own any of the GR games so it’s not like I am creaming in my pants waiting for this one to come out.

Agree with everyone else, it’s just too late now. As more games arrive players will move onwards towards other online games. They’ve had utterly ages to bring in an update and they didn’t even have the nerve to release a statement telling gamers that they were working on the problem. I’ve yet to even play multi on cod2 because my disc cracked, still awaiting a replacement :/

Anthony — Tue, 14 Feb 2006 17:12:05 +0000

Yes, to late indeed. Patch will be released just intime for GRAW. Nice try to hold that jump start on the market, but IW already screwed way to many people and the word is out.

true that–I preordered GRAW the first time I played COD2 online…too little, too late

Way way too late for me, they’ve had months to sort this. I.W & Activision couldn’t care less about customers once they’ve got the money.
