Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 is finally out, and it’s chaos worldwide. Apparently, the game’s servers have crashed within an hour of release, as fans reported about it on Twitter. Four hours back, Infinity Ward made the most-awaited announcement, confirming the game going live. And with the massive ongoing hype, thousands of players logged in to get their hands on it. Sadly, they had to wait until further updates as each of them faced some issue or other. 

Modern Warfare 2 was the most anticipated game of the year, and the franchise did a fantastic job to lure millions of players, before the official release. They conducted multiple marketing campaigns, game sneak-peeks, early access to a few, and a beta for the community. Plus, Activision opened the campaign version two days earlier, giving fans a massive surprise. So, with all this on the line, fans were not ready to waste a single minute to get into a game. But sadly, they faced multiple issues logging in, limiting them to the main screen until further updates.
