i have now been playing for over 1 hour and the struggling to get in a game. the ones i do get in seem to be americ an of foreign lobbies and i'm host. now confused. Perhaps i'm just being too impatient and i need to weight for others to download the patch. i hope it improves because it just got worse !! fingers crossed
I have the same problem, before the patch i used to always get 2-3 bar of connection now i am always on a 1 bar. And to make matters worse i cant even party up with my friends, by the way we all have open NAT type. I f you find a solution to this promblem let me know because it has made mw3 unplayble for me.
I still have my 4 bar, but after the patch i see mutch more other people that have a 1/2 bar..
My NAT is open btw.
Same thing is happening to me too. I think you may be in a low populated area, so it searches for players closer to you. This morning I only found one game, but later in the day I found more.
I think you should just wait until tomorrow, and everything should be normal
just played a game eventually. 1 game found 50ms......... 1 game found 75...... 1 game found 100 ms..... no games found. merging. end up with 4 bars. pedro, eduardo, garcia, luigi all with 1 bar. i go 26 - 12 pedro eduardo garcia and luigi all go big negative. i have 30 down 3 up - its messed up.
hopefully i am being to eager to complain but feel i need to say something.
sorry just want to add i'm not actually not that far from London. perhaps i was first down south to download the patch lol
Me to mate 125ms to 150ms lobbies

This makes the most sense, but has not happened in the past on update days. Not to mention, if this is the case, then the majority of those who have downloaded the patch 1.15 are a bunch of hackers. I keep ending up in games that are just painfully obvious hacked lobbies.
From aircraft finding me even tho Im Blind Eye Pro and Assasin Pro to dudes who take me out with a MUCH less powerful weapon than I have as I empty my entire clip in them, some of them have even started shooting back AFTER they turn cause Im shooting them.
So Iv been wondering if the big hack on PSN last year had little to do with gathering much of OUR information but perhaps the inforamtion that concerns IP's of servers used to detect cheating or PSN Names that are techs searching for cheaters (after all thats what Id hack a game for If I had intereset in cheating... all so they can make a lot of us look wak't when we come to complain about apparent hacking...?
Wait for more people to get home and download it. It will get better then. Though, also more LAGGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No, something is definately wrong.
There cannot be exactly 1 game per ping cycle for everybody on EVERY game mode.
Just it give it time dude. Trust me. People need to get off work. It just goes to show that there are more adults that play this game than kids that suck on their moms teets and ask for anything at the drop of a dime. Chill. Go outside and play. Tonight it will be better.
And there are also people that think America is the world, clearly.
Ever heard of time zones?
We in the UK are in PEAK TIME for playing. Yes it is 9PM over here.
And the patch has been out for a few hours now.
Meaning many people have been returning from work, having their evening meal, turning the PS3 on only to find they can't get in a single game.
Trust me, I've been an 'early adopter' of a patch before and it has NEVER had this problem. 1 potential game found per ping cycle from the very second the patch installed until present, hours after it was released.
I'm playing right now in the US and having no troubles......
I bet you are...
They've confirmed there is an issue now - so maybe next time you think you'll be all big and clever, making mistakes like assuming people should be working when it is in fact their evening and night times, you'll think twice?
still no troubles here sir. pull you're head out of your ass.
Thank God, i thought it was jsut me, i used to find matches on 75 ms ping but not i am getting 125 ms ping and sometimes i mgiht not even find any match which is soo annoying
This has been the same with most of the patches. Looks like you where one of the first to get the patch when it went live. Just need to wait till the other players sign on and get the patch too. I had this happen with the last patch. Took a few hours before the game ran smoothly again
Given the amount of players that they claim play per day there must be on average around 2-3k players signing on every minute.
Now that is across all consoles, but even so the patch has been out for a couple of hours now and this has never happened so bad like this previously.
I could understand finding 1 game at 50ms, 3 games at 75ms, 2 games at 100ms and it gradually increasing, but ONE game EVERY cycle and EVERY mode. Nah. Something more at play here.
I cant reaaly give any input on this patch yet. I am in work and wont find out till i get home. hopefully its not as bad as i believe it is
Same problem here, except I didn't download a patch. I have exited and entered the game a few times now and have gotten no prompt to do so.
lol @ go outside and play
mature gamer here. probably put my hip out
as of right now, I think the update is only available in certain regions...so if it's not prompting you to update after you exit and re-enter into the game, then there's a good chance the update hasn't been released in the region you are in yet.
im sure the elite drop is the 14th in the uk hence the update i could be wrong
Since the patch I am getting worse pings and while I can run a test for DL/UL and get a consistant 30MBPS with a 14ms ping, the game is putting me in 100>ms ping lobbies.
because it is only finding one potential game.
IW have tweeted saying they realise there is a problem and they are looking into it.

in the meantime go play mw2, Its playing awesome just now. had 3 nukes in the last few days. been great fun (if you avoid the hackers)
classic I/W release a patch to fix a few things and mess up the big things.
i never thought they'd actually be successful in fixing things, but didnt think they'd make it 10 times worse. Thankfully i aint downloaded the patch yet or played it. after reading this im gonna leave it. maybe play tomorrow since face off will be out.
Yeah this is horseshit , finding only 1 potential game also, takes 20 minutes to get in a game then everyone just backs out !
Yeah I am going to throw in MOH and play some of that to gear up for the warfighter release.
For the last week or so my connection and matchmaking had finally leveled out to the point the game was somewhat enjoyable again. Now I am afraid that I am destined for 2 weeks of frustration with MW3 while they figure this latest bs out
"Looking into it..." Let's hope they can fix it by tomorrow.
They really should just release BOPS 2 (I know it isn't IW) now so by the time it is time for the actual release, we consumers would have had enough time to find most of the bad issues in the game.
On that note, why are we testing their program? This is the poorest attempt at software engineering that has made money. Seriously, did any of their programers or project managers take any formal classes about software engineering?
1 Game per ping cycle here for me too,UK gamer.
When it does eventualy find a game it will just put one more person in the lobby.
Don't care what kids like the american loads of posts above this thinks.
Game is broke worse now,me and my clan normaly get 80+ kills in HQ PRO and we just all went like 5-30 and didn't even capture 1 HQ because of insta kills,out of sync gaming,genral Bad Patch effects..........
And no the other team didn't tacticly beat us,they just wouldn't f**king die like normal,example:Friend throws semtex,hitmarker,friend proceeds to smaw same person he hitmarkers,gets a second hitmarker,then proceeds to put a full clip in to said guy only to get out gunned LOL.
P.s this is all due to the americans all been at work (eyes roll >.>)
Nice to see they are looking into it. i've sat through lots of patches and dlc for COD and know there are issues, normally bit of extra lag while everyone downloads but this just wasn't playing right.
lets see what tomorrow brings
Two hours of game play. Scrolls straight through the <50 to <150ms ping with no more than a 10% search. Had 4-5 games all in foriegn lobbies all with a red dot. Open Nat, usually 3-4 bar. I have read the update on Patch 1.15 but I think they got something terribly wrong.
yepp same for me too. it's searching till 3-4% and then it goes straight up to 88%. only found games above 150ms ping. with those pings i usually don't play.
It looks like somehow they have sperated a large amount of players creating inability to match few players together.
It is definitely *ed. Have had the patch for three hours and with 10 mins of constant searching pulling out prior to 200ms ping I WILL NOT find a game. 1 good game every cycle.
This might be something on playstations end...
Having same issues 1 good game per ping, didnt have this issue before the last update please fix.

Hmm. We really need to do a better job of consolidating threads!
What I came in here to tell you is first and foremost, we're very sorry for the inconvenience with matchmaking today. It's finally resolved (as of 20 minutes ago), and want you to know that there shouldn't be any more problems.
What did you guys do / try to the matchmaking that has caused that to happen? When will we see actual host improvements on ps3? As in No constant frame skipping / drops (messing up aim / easy shots) and insta-deaths (against laggy 3 bar players)?
spent half an hour to get into a lobby with a full party, 5 mins in a party of two
wtf!?
