Before going all IT Crowd on your gaming equipment or router, we suggest checking the Modern Warfare 2 server status and the status of your platform's network.

To check the server status for your favorite Call of Duty title, including Modern Warfare 2, simply head to Activision's Online Services page and select a specific game.

On the Online Services page, gamers can also find options to check the status of platform networks, such as PSN, Xbox Live, Battle.net, and more.

We also suggest players follow the Activision Support account on Twitter and Infinity Ward's Twitter account for quick updates.

If connection issues persist, we advise gamers to contact Activision support via Online Services and test their internet connection in another title to ensure it isn't a user error.

We suggest using a Wired connection instead of Wi-Fi and closing any bandwidth-heavy applications before playing a competitive multiplayer title such as Modern Warfare 2.
