PS3 Fanboy's 2007 Game of the Year sure is a giant when it comes to online play. How huge is it? "Monstrously huge," according to Call of Duty 4 producer Mark Rubin. Although he was vague about the actual daily count of PSN CoD4 players, we imagine that the exact number shouldn't be too far behind the 1.2-1.3 million players on Xbox Live every day.
He stated that "PS3 numbers are monstrously huge. No other game has come close, either online current, or total unique users in a day." He continues to say that this trend has been carrying on for the past couple of month, seven days a week. Since Mr. Rubin can't provide a number for us, we'll have to start tallying for ourselves. How many of you are feeding the monster?

I've never liked COD games, so I've stayed away from it.
I'll wait for Socom. Even if Socom has 1/3 the amount of players as COD, it's still enough to always have games to play.

CoD4 is a great game, but the online broken. The lag is horrible, matchmaking is a joke, lobby system is bad. Infinity Ward is a terrible company. They take back their words, and are currently neglecting cod4 ps3 players. The recent patch was suppose to fix common problems, but didn't. It was suppose to provide HOST MIGRATION, but doesn't; it does on the cr@pbox3fixme version though. The matchmaking was suppose to group you with a host closer to your regional location, it doesn't. Why must I be grouped together with some European player?! I don't want the Laaa....ag. It was suppose to do a lot of things, but it didn't. They even made the new maps a 21 day exclusive for cr@pbox3fixme. If you want to know more, go to the official infinity ward ps3 forums. I'm tired of their lies and excuses.
To reiterate, cod4 is a great game, but has bad support.

I've never had any of those problems, and I play about 4 hours a day since I bought it. Also, I play all my multiplatform games on PS3 since I'm a huge Sony fan, and I still find your "cr@pbox3fixme" lame and idiotic.
In summary, I think you are a douche who needs to learn to stop complaining and enjoy your games.

Lag use to be bad for me when I first played it. It depends on your router. I upgraded to a WRT-100 by Linksys and enabled QoS and I make my PS3's IP the DMZ. I experience no lag what-so-ever now.
My only frustrating complaint is how the host can end the game early before the game even gets underway. Especially if it ends in a loss. Activision really should do something to penalize the host for doing this. It's getting really ridiculous and more frequent lately.

Did any of you get play the same game I played BEFORE January 9th. The day the so called playlist/patch was released? I bought the game the first day it came out. Call me a douche, I don't care, but when the majority of people complain about the same thing, then it isn't a lie. There hasn't been a single reply to the PS3 CoD4 community about the problems. In fact, they don't even acknowledge the problems. You say you don't have any problems, but that's what you want to believe. When I played before Jan 9, m16+stopping power took out anyone with 1 single burst shot. Now I have to shoot several. The lag is mostly because of people with crappy connections downloading pr0n or people overseas. The latency is too high, therefore it needs more network hops. Go look it up if you have to.

Hey man i was on CharlieOscarDelta Also,guess what? i got PermBanned lol, from posting my awesome jokes in the jokes thread, also for calling fourzerotwo a deuche which he is.
but anyways IW sux and the online is broken for a lot of people, just check their own forums. Me personally i had the damn Downloading Game Settings for about 2 months, till i learned DeamonWare was forwarding itself on my router. COD4 was fun at first but now it sux.

Seems if the PS3 numbers actually were good, they would share them, just as they shared the (very good) Xbox numbers. And while he is almost certainly right, how would the Infinity Ward producer know the usage numbers of other games when he says "no other game has come close"?

COD4 is pretty much all I play online; I just got Warhawk off PSN and I really enjoy that, and once in a while I'll throw in Dynasty Warriors 6 to try and get top Rampage scores.
Remember for COD4 that If you see matahtak in the game, it's probably only for a quick second before you die. See you all in the suck ;)

There was a point in time (spring break) where whenever I'd close my eyes I'd picture myself with an MP5 shooting people in Overgrown. idk if thats something to brag about.

Unfortunately, I too feed the monster. I say unfortunately because IW hates us PS3 users*. :(
