I wonder if this patch stops the system link LIVE glitch? That would just be the cherry on the sundae, wouldn't it?

They better hope those whips magically produce money when snapped, then, 'cause I ain't buyin' COD3 unless the MP issue for COD2 is properly addressed.
TXB seems to believe there is some sort of multiplayer patch being worked on. Maybe theyre just hoping along with everyone else?

didnt want to start a new thread for this...
but hill 400, veteran, the game just keeps spawning germans doesnt it? i'm at the top of the hill and have eliminated the 2 mortar crews and the armored vehicle, but i've spent the past hour killing an endless supply of these guys to try and overtake the final bunker. but the wave of em never ends. :/

WTF, fuck you Infinity Ward. I really love the controls/maps for this game, but the lobby is fundamentally broken and the lag is unbearable at times. This is such bullshit.

Wait... Live Silver is free and good for updates. There's no net connection available at all for your 360?

its pretty bad. you'll get into lots of matches that are laggy as hell, others where your teammates icons never show up on the radar. some where enemies are completely invisible (other then the large country marker above their head...!!!). but, worst of all, is the glitch where you have to try for 10 minutes trying to find a game and being unable to play. oh, and no lobby or real way to play with friends is damning as well.
its not all bad though. when it works, its a damn fine game (making the bugs and lobby omission even more shitty)

didn't want to start a new thread over this, so i figured i'd post it here.
Over live, is there a way to have guests play on COD2? Kind of like how you could have someone split screen with you on Live playing Halo 2?

no.
by the way, is everyone familiar with the glitch to allow you to start your own server, choose gametype and modifiers and increase the number of total players?
player1 and i messed around with it for quite a while last night, and it made online a blast. funny that some bug made the game significantly better.
a quick recap if your unfamiliar with it;
one player (hopefully someone with a good connection, as they'll be host) sets up a system link game. he'll choose map, gamemode and modifiers, then just wait at that lobby screen (dont start the match).
the second player should have cod2 in the xbox, but launch a multiplayer arcade title. you can use any other 360 multiplayer game, but a live title makes it so you wont have to swap discs. from the live arcade game, send an invite to player one. player one should accept the invite, but when asked to leave cod2 should chose the option not to leave. bam, your system link game is now magically a live lobby.
player 2 just needs to go to his buddy list and find player one and join before the room fills

I tried that part many different ways and ultimitely you'll just have to gang rush the door. The Germans DO spawn until you reach the door. For me, the best strategy was to lay down smoke grenades all the way to the door...once your at the door, you reach your checkpoint.

yeah, i had passed the level yesterday.
i almost drop kicked my xbox though, as after finishing hill 400, i didnt get the achivement for it. thankfully it wasnt a bug or anything, i had just skipped the very first mission of that level and just had to clear out the town at the beginning to get the achievemnet for it.
too little, too late. ghost recon comes out soon and then i really wont care at all about cod2 (im pretty sure a lot of people are on this boat).
if cod2 had PROPER multiplayer from the get-go i know for a FACT that myself and about 3 of my buddies would have bought the game. fuck activision, sell it on ebay and just get ghost recon.

playing multiplayer via the glitch was pretty fun and I could imagine playing for hours if you could play it properly without getting booted to the main menu after every game. I hope we dont see a regression on the part of developers with regards to multiplayer mode.
if developers or MS arent going to step up and offer dedicated servers they need to at least get back to the practice of allowing players to set up their box as a dedicated server. back in the Ghost Recon and Unreal Championship days of Xbox it was nice to see a part of the community be willing to offer dedicated servers for players when the devs or MS wouldnt do it.
COD is fun in MP but it would require some really good modes to make it last. with no vehicles to play with its up to the maps, which I like, and the game modes to keep the gameplay fun. the little bit that i played last night showed me that it can be fun but I only got to play the one mode. regular death match does nothing for me but its always nice to have.

I didn't get an y lag last night when I played. What ruined it for me was the damn snipers. Brutal they are.
