Forums - Sony - PS3 FW 2.01 breaks CoD 4?

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/article.php?id=175999

 Today's 2.01 PS3 firmware update was released solely to fix instability issues on the console, but it's suspected it may have done the complete opposite for Activision's best-FPS-on-the-platform shooter, Call of Duty 4.

Dozens of angry gamers have hit the official forums to report that, since updating their PS3s this morning, they have been unable to play the online mode in the game. They obviously blame Sony's new firmware.

Some users, however, say they managed around two hours of play after updating before the errors began to occur. So is the FW update at fault? Or something else? CoD 4 servers have been annoyingly temperamental over the past few days...

We spoke with both Sony and Activision, both seemingly oblivious to the problem, but we hope to update with their feedback soon.

----------------------------------------------

 Just a warning for those with cod4 as is one of the best games online if you want to keep playing you may want to wait for FW 2.02 or something.  Man these updates are starting to become like windows updates where they seem break more stuff then they actually fix LOL.



Around the Network

Hmm, I'd like to hear what Infinity Ward has to say since they have had some trouble with the servers for the PS3 online (as stated in your post).



How long until the next firmware update?  It should be coming pretty soon due to this problem right?



I believe 2.01 came out either today or will this week.



I really don't like where console gaming is heading. Firmware issues have affected all three consoles. One of the main draws of console gaming was stability. Which no longer seems to exist anymore.

The major software screwups in this generation are starting to accumulate:

- PES 2008 (especially the PS3 version, but also the 360 one; still not patched)
- Guitar Hero 3 Wii version (mono audio)
- this

Welcome to the world of PC gaming.



Well, on the bright side, with the instability issues, the PS3 doesn't look as attractive a pirating system as the PSP, even with a mod chip.



A flashy-first game is awesome when it comes out. A great-first game is awesome forever.
