Call of Duty 2 Patch Underway
Infinity Ward to repair multiplayer mode.
by Charles Onyett
January 10, 2006 - Since the title's release, almost everyone who'd tried out Call of Duty 2's for the Xbox 360 has been clamoring for an update to the online multiplayer component. Well, apparently the developers have been listening, or have known all along. According to a post by Infinity Ward on xbox.com, a multiplayer patch is indeed in the works.
According to the post, the patch will target persistent issues with lag. "Infinity Ward is aware that some players have experienced challenges with lag issues," says Infinity Ward, "and we are currently working with Microsoft to create an update that will resolve it." Whether or not lag is the only issue that's being worked on is unclear, as the post is rather short. It does, however, mention that, "we [Infinity Ward] are aware of the issues at hand," which very well means they could be working on some other issues in addition to the lag. Perhaps we might even see a retooling of the online server search interface.
For now, we'll have to remain content with the knowledge that Call of Duty 2's online issues are recognized and the process of rectifying them is underway. Call of Duty 2 was named best overall game by IGN Xbox 360 for its stellar single player campaign and immersive atmosphere. If the multiplayer mode is significantly improved, this already great game could evolve into something even better. Stay tuned to IGN for more.
Interested in this game? Add it to your wishlist. If you already own it, be sure to add it to your collection. You can keep track of the games you've got, check personalized stats, get tips and cheats by email, and more.
