How to Check Modern Warfare 2 Server Status?

If you’re having problems getting Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 (2022) to work, your first stop should be Activision’s Online Services page. Let’s say there’s a widespread outage; this would be where they’d make the announcement, aside from the official Twitter account for Infinity Ward.

If you’re still experiencing issues, but there are no reported outages, the Online Services page might be able to help with that! It offers connection tips, such as restarting your router or checking your internet speed. Speaking of — there could be problems with your personal ‘net connection! If other games aren’t working as they should, be sure to give your ISP a call at your earliest convenience!

But, assuming there are no reported outages and everything is fine with your internet, the problem could be local. Be sure to check your hardware specs and ensure there’s no conflicts with the requirements to run Modern Warfare 2! Or, just give it some time, and try to load up the game later on!
