Info: Cod & Gh Servers Disrupted By Hurricane Sandy

[cpl-chPetz]

As you are probably well aware, Hurricane Sandy is teaching the east coast a whole new defintion of the phrase “disruptive change.” New York was hit very hard by the storm; flights are grounded, trains are not running, and as an ex-New Yorker myself, I find it hard to comprehend these images of subways full of water. And in addition to being the home of the Ghostbusters firehouse and delicious dirty water dogs, it’s also the home for lots of data centers — including some for Activision games. Until the power is stabilized, you may have some trouble connecting in the following games:

• Call of Duty: World at War (all platforms)
  
• Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (PS3)
  
• Call of Duty: Black Ops (PS3, PC, Wii)
  
• Guitar Hero (all titles and platforms)
  

Activision is working on restoring full functionality as soon as possible, but I don’t know when that will be. Your patience while they deal with the storm’s effects is appreciated.
