Modern Warfare 2 developer Infinity𒅌 Ward is still "investigating" an issue that is preventing Xbox players in parties of more than three players from successfully ma♈tchmaking.

The developer confirmed there was an issue early on Saturday, but at the time of writing there's been no further update from IW, and the team's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 card remains unchanged.

"We're investigatin꧑gꦏ an issue where some Xbox players in a party of more than three are having issues queuing up/matchmaking," Infinity Ward announced on its social media channels. "Stay tuned for further updates."

For now, Xbox players should probably break up parties larger than three players until the issue has been resolved. As always, we'll report 🌌back just as soon as we know more and/or the problem has been fixed.

Unhappy Warzone 2.0 players are reporting that the free-to-play battle royale is locking them out of the game because they don't own Modern Warfare 2. It appears that after a handful of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Warzone 2 games - and sometimes even when they doꦆ indeed own the premium shooter Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2, apparently 𒊎- the game locks them out by displaying a pop-up that instructs players that they need to "purchase Modern Warfare 2 to have access to everything".

Warzone 2 is completely free-to-play and, in theory at least, a different game, so players 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:shouldn't require Modern Warfare 2 to access Warzone 2. 🥃Hundreds have now upvoted the po🀅st, however, with many commenting that they too are experiencing the same issue.

Warzone 2 officially launched earlier this week but its Steam page is already inundated with negative reviews and cu☂rrently boasts a "Mostly Negative" rating from over 8,000+ reviews - less than 3,000 of which are positive. 

"Warzone 2 makes a good first impression," we said in GameRadar+'s 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Warzone 2 review-in-progress. "W💫hile it shares some similꦯarities with its predecessor, Infinity Ward has delivered a more tactical battle royale that smartly subverts expectations."
