Call of Duty outage fears 'allayed' | | 2009/11/13 | | Fears over widespread internet outages following the release of Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 have not been realised, it has been reported.
According to Techwatch, the national broadband network stood up to the demands placed on it by a rise in online gamer traffic this week.
Fears had been raised that increased demand for bandwidth could lead to connection difficulties – potentially prompting the use of website monitoring services.
However, the website reported that "most of the UK's gamers are going around with a huge smile on their faces" as their enjoyment of the new release has not been affected by service quality issues.
"It seems the broadband network stayed intact," Techwatch stated, adding: "Online gaming is huge, but the user requires a decent connection to fully enjoy the game without experiencing any lag."
The Call of Duty release – the latest in a franchise which dates back to 2003 – is available to internet users with access to a PC, PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. |
