If you're wondering if the Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 servers are down, it's likely that you've had connection problems or other issues that have prevented you from getting into the game. This is far from ideal, as although the Modern Warfare 2 campaign is still accessible offline, we all know that the multiplayer modes are where the real action is. While we're past the MW2 initial launch period, we've got plenty more significant updates due for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC, such as the recent launch of the free-to-play Warzone 2. These can all cause a temporary disruption to proceedings while the various systems adjust to cope, so here's what you need to know about the Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 servers being down, and how to check for the latest information.
Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 server status
At time of writing the Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 servers are having issues, though some players have been able to get in with minimal problems. This is due to the release of the Warzone 2 Season 2 for both the battle royale and Modern Warfare 2, so there's currently a huge influx of new players arriving on the scene. You'll see some error codes, but if you're patient and retry connecting when necessary you should be able to play.
Given the additional server stress occurring due to this, there's likely to be at least some connectivity issues during this time, so we advise keeping an eye on the Call of Duty Twitter and other social pages for any server warnings and updates if problems should emerge. Hopefully any downtime during this period will only be temporary, while they work to manage the increased traffic. Usually this will affect players universally, though if you see any specific Warzone 2 and Modern Warfare 2 error codes then there may be a fix for that particular problem, especially if you're experiencing the Modern Warfare 2 status installing glitch.
If you are having issues connecting to the Modern Warfare 2 servers and can't see anything confirmed about them, try checking the Activision online services page for the official position or the Downdetector status page for Call of Duty to see if others are having similar connection issues. If this does not appear to be the case, then it’s likely the connection issue is on your end. Try restarting the game, turning your console or PC off and on, or switching off your router for a few minutes before turning it back on to try and sort out the issue.
