REGION LOCK IS BACK!!! Remove THIS!!!!
I can`t find any matches! I Pay for ELITE PREMIUM, and what I get? REGION LOCK!
I have the same problem. I live in Russia. Elite Premium
Same thing in greece ...no games found
Oh great, now they have to make yet another update.
it will take three months
I haven't been home yet to get on. There is another patch that came out today????
yes, this patch introduces a region lock
How do you know a region lock has actually been put in place?? Source??
yeah is back ![]()
what we can do !!
the game is not for UK AND USA Players ![]()
That is where you are wrong. I live in the US. And I only found 3 matches in an hour worth of searching on elite. where even on elite I could find matches in just a few minutes. So yes the region lock/matchmaking protocol effects US players as well.
it will take three months
and robert bowling say every day
yeah yeah we addressing that problem
I haven't seen any patches and I've just gone online and found a game straight away with my NAT on Moderate.
I just turned on my PS3 to see whats up. So far everything is normal. My NAT is Open. Found game right away. Playing on Underground. Works for me.
i cant find any games with the new maps. what was the point of bringing back region lock just put eu together, usa by its self. and so forth. or give us a choice like in black ops............. .mine is for the xbox
What is this nonsense!? Fix it IW.
I can barely play the game now.
yea,...I'm Canadian.. and 70% of the people I played againt today were damned Quebecians...not only do they not play the objective of the game, but they don't speak a damn word of english!
Like honestly I heard my name caleld a few times "Rainbow"but I had no idea what the hell they were saying....Fix the region lock! I hate playing with Quebecians....though I did manage to dominate on my team....even with a "clan" on my team I still got top score over all...and won the game for us.
Dont fix the region lock im glad they brought it back
Good, I was getting tired of the 10 percent of laggy foreign people breaking the game for the other 90 percent of people. Not that it really matters anyways, the game is still a completely broken pile of **** even if you connect to 12 people who all live in the same building. The patch didn't fix ****.
Yep, In poland u can play Only Team Deatchmatch ;]
U pay for game and u can't get fun from it...
MW3 is MULTIPLAYER GAME !!! NO REGION GAME.
I don't understand why they can't just add a Local Search/Region Lock Search Option in the Find game menu for the players that want it?
To those who can find game:
You're from USA and England, right?
Inhabitants of large countries will find games easily.
HOWEVER, as a Norwegian -- searching for games...
Lobby 1: 5/5 players are norwegian
Lobby 2: 12/12 players are norwegian
Lobby 3: 7/8 players are norwegian, the last is an englishman in a party with norwegians -- or norwegian with his location set to Great Britain.
Lobby 25: 12/12 players are norwegian.
It seems they locked the regions to individual COUNTRIES, at least temporarily.
I don't believe they intend for this change to be permanent.
If they do, well.
They had better reduce the game modes to:
Deathmatch: Team Deathmatch, kill confirmed
Flags: Domination, capture the flag
Bombs: Search and Destroy, Demoliton
Then always have the option to vote for each game mode, because finding games took very long.
(Remember Counter-Strike? It only had Search and Destroy and Rescue the Hostages aka team deathmatch)
They should have option so ya can play local or outside your country. I rather play local because the lag otherwise ruins the game.
They should actually just get rid of region locks and have a ping lock so that you cannot connect to a game if you have a ping higher than 75ms. Or better yet, group people by ping and take longer than 3 seconds worth of searching to put you in a lobby. Why not search 50ms and if you get into that lobby then everybody else should be 50ms. If you can't find a 50ms ping then bump it up to 60ms and do they same thing. There is absolutely no point in searching by ping if I can connect to a good local host and then have the other 10 people with 200ms pings ruin the game. Another problem is that it switches host before the match starts so if you get a good 50ms ping host it just ends up picking a different host before the match starts. I really don't understand why these idiots can't figure out how to do match making properly.
The problem is parties.
Parties within one long, wide or large country can have 70 ping between them.
Then if that party connects to another host from another location, the ping can easily become 70 ping + the ping from the party leader to the host.
