They don't have backup servers in alternate location to take over in case of an emergency? That's just horrible infrastructure planning. Worldwide service used by millions, and they don't have a clue or a plan. I'm okay now... Then what do you think it will cost to run all these servers if they have to back them up from another location? It's Activision, not some cheep-ass, no-name, mom & pop operation. Activision. You know, the guys people are complaining about for adopting a pay-as-you-go, or pay-to-level-up revenue model. I think we might expect a backup data center from these guys given the sheer volume of traffic they generate on a daily basis, not to mention as a good way to balance the load during non-emergency times. IMHO. Awards

IMHO. Agree dj. It is unconscionable that they wouldn't have a mirrored platform elsewhere, or a plan to immediately switch to an alternate location in case the building housing their servers burned down. Pathetic!!! All the authentication server does is receive a packet, authenticate the user from a database, and respond. You could run that function off a typical desktop. How many people worldwide are playing COD5 any given moment? Awards

Clan mate and I like to do some zombies in the evenings occasionally and we can't even do that.

Some of us - ran across Power today - are getting reacquainted with old friends in COD4 DM. Forgot how fast that games moves; getting my arse handed to me in there but the maps are a nice change.
