I don't really mean to revive a dead thread here, but I've been "experiencing this issue" for a few months now, does anyone know how to fix it yet?

[ICANHAZCOOKIE?]

I've also been experiencing the issue a lot this weekend.

Man, look at the pageviews for this thread alone. I personally haven't had the problem but it's obviously a massive one ... maybe this (http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1572385) may help guys.

[RoyalPredator]

Same error for two days.

[BreckR]

So instead of posting in the other threads you necro'd a thread that is over a year old??

[dimaal]

the same is here in Germany since two days. Wtf? Is there any official thread/message about lost of service?

Its been posted many times but...




Hello all,



Many people have been running into server problems and disconnects as they attempt to play Modern Warfare 2, World at War and Black Ops. This is due to Hurricane Sandy currently causing power outages on the North Eastern Coast.

I'll also do my best to keep this announcement updated with any information I receive.

So the problem must be very serious if they cant fixed this until now...For 3 days the game is "OFF LINE" on the multiplayer mode...And we are waiting the BO2 in a few days...

[loin'd]

Power is out...

[modar]

don't they have generators or something for christ's sake.

[loin'd]

power could be out weeks...

[pistawful]

Its back on line.

[loin'd]

yeah...but i dont see servers...

[loin'd]

now i see some...prepare for destruction...

[Capt_Spalding]

I wonder if the storm/server issue will cause problems with Blops II ?

[KINGmatan]

it's not back online for me. I still can't connect - both to zombies and multiplayer. status on PC says DEFCON 1.

[V O L T R O N]

They fixed the problem for 1-2 days and i think from yesterday we have the same situation again with the same error:"Black Ops server is not available at this time..."

[Bongo87]

PCdev said on twitter they have another power failure. This is silly that we in Europe cant play because some storm in us.....

Another hurricane again??? :mad:

[dropdeadboy]

Enough is enough, screw black ops 2, they ain't gonna get my money this time.

[aoetje]

Oh cool, the hurricane is in US and I can't play my BO in Europe...how lame the devs made it...I don't even want to log to treyarch servers, i will go play private servers...

[V O L T R O N]

Ok ok the "good guy" can say this...For every thing happens responsible is the hurricane and in a few days we can play again the game -we hope as soon as possible-. :( But the "bad guy" can say that maybe all this is deliberately and not accidentally to forgot the BO and starting to thinking the BO2 from now???!!!Like to pre-order the game or buy it also in the 1st days...Because i beleive the BO has a large community something like COD4 and they want to transfer the players with any case... :confused: :mad: :eek:

[modar]

can I be the bad guy.

[V O L T R O N]

can I be the bad guy.

LooooL you can be anything you want! :cool: I hope that the "good guy's" :) is much more than the "bad guy's" :mad: But i think we forgot and the "ugly guy" also!And this type doesn't care for anything... :o

[Whiplashr]

Frankly, the "bad guy" is synonymous with "conspiratorial minded buffoon" in my opinion.

People sitting here making such a stink over a game, when there was a natural disaster that killed many people. And still many suffering.

What do you want. The power is down. This is the location that their authentication servers are hosted. That's just the way it is.

Anyone who seriously expects them to have had contingency for storms that happen maybe once or twice a century is utterly unrealistic and just simply whining. And being very selfish and dismissive of the fact that there are many people who have lost their lives, their homes..

it's just pitiful. Someone has to say it. I am gonna say it. I don't care if people disagree and want to think such utter stupidity. It doesn't make it true.

And frankly, like most conspiracy theories, it doesn't even make sense. Taking down servers for the previous game in some way makes people more apt to buy the new one? If you think that through, you'd realize that is insanely stupid. If anything it would have the opposite effect. Making people question the overall stability of the game series in general. And it's not like they can suddenly switch to BO2 right this minute.

It's just idiotic. And I rant about this stuff because this kind of cynical, conspiratorial minded thinking is something that is the bane of human enlightenment. It just holds us back..too many people believing too much nonsense and holding up real progress and knowledge. It's the kind of thinking that perpetuates superstition, religion, and the most insane conspiracy theories.

I'm not happy about it either. I want to play. It's why I am looking at these threads.. for news.. But I have perspective and sympathy/empathy for the victims of this disaster. And I'm not a completely selfish whiner.

Everyone understand this disaster and all we agree that the human life is much important than something else...I didn't say nothing bad for the victims!I just wonder why happening this because im playing more than 10 years on-line games and i never see before problem like this...and as i said in my post later the "good guys" i hope is much more than the "bad guys" and they know that all will be ok soon...And i am one of the "good guys"...I believe that everything is hapenned now in US is not a "game" behind us but a reality without considerations...

THE GAME IS A PART OF OUR LIVES :)

[Amy]

I wish they could make a patch to make us able to play zombies offline.

I wish i could play before playing black ops 2. I hope it won't affect Black Ops 2 either.

[LifesSerpen]

That seems rather dumb, why would Wii,PC,PS3 servers be located all at same location in NYC, but not xbox 360 one?... one Hurricane and poof, servers dead.

[Infinity7]

It's back online. We can do multiplayer now. At least at the moment.

[Bongo87]

Yep works again, play till it runs :-)

Just 8 more days and Bo2 is here!

[Jokerman_]

mmm can connect to the master server but can't connect to the actual game servers...anyone having this issue with lost connection to host?
