The problems, which saw the Playstation Network rejecting all Modern Warfare 2 traffic after a problem with a thirdparty server led to a flurry of error messages, were quickly fixed on the server side, but a patch for the game is expected on Friday to repair the party system.
Infinity Ward’s Robert Bowling, who used Twitter to keep PS3 gamers updated on the progress of the fix, said he expected “smooth skies ahead” after the patch was applied. Players were returned to the game slowly, 20,000 at a time, before the game returned to full capacity, with no further problems being reported.
