NAT's being moderate or Strict don't stop you completely, it just limits the number of games you can enter, after all, nothing more annoying than someone with a funny connection joining a game. If everyone has an Open NAT they get better game access, not just in MW2, but in all games.

I'm not entirely convinced it's NAT settings causing the problems anyway, though it's still amusing/lazy that the PC version directs you to instructions to fix it on a 360.

Either way though, there are plenty of people completely unable to play the MP at the moment.

I've heard 6 hours on normal, not vet. Took me 10 hours on vet according to my stats, not sure if it counts time paused though as I did lots of that during my play through.

Been on the MP tonight and I love it!

Just got back from queuing for an hour in Game at Teesside Park to collect my new Super Elite, wasn't expecting so many people and the queue at HMV next door was just as bad!

Spoke to a mate yesterday evening who has been playing it on the PC, apparently a host left the game after 5 mins and it was unable to migrate so he was booted back to the main menu. With that i wrote off the game on the PC; things like that just shouldn't be happening tbh.

Well I popped to Sainsbury's this morning for just after 7am and there was a queue of about 20/30 people waiting to pay. I saw the £26 price tag, picked up a copy and now it's installing to the HD

Might be a slow work day today

Went to Tesco and Sainsburys this morning, neither had the PC version. Pfft. Will have to go into town later. Today is going to be a very long work day.

For those who can't get to Sainsbury's, Morrisons are selling it for £25.99.

It's also rumoured Asda will price match if you take in the advert in the papers

Just had 2 x £26 copies in my hand but they'd only let me buy one

BTW, if anyone wants me to grab another copy from Sainsburys I'm more than happy to try again tonight
