Okay I seen alot of people posting asking why are they not aloud to connect to the server?
First thing everyone said they were Banned No actually your not but people who are on backup count this as you being lucky.
What is really wrong?
Well for the starter point tryarch said "They are not banning anyone until the full media release" Meaning "YOUR NOT BANNED"
Also 90% of people are saying they where playing for not even 10 minutes and already been kicked off which does not mean your console or account banned. Do you think tryarch would even let your console connect to the server if you were console banned?
So what really is wrong with it your asking well In my research I have gathered 3 conclusions on this.
Conclusion 1
In my own experience in a game I was asking by other players in the game which I did not know they where Developers until they mentioned it also following up with a question "How are you accessing the online servers?" So what I thought there was wdf I am special I got on but after winning a match I had been kicked off thinking one of them had "Banned me"
Conclusion 2
The website says Defcon 3 but what caught my eye was "OCCASIONAL DISCONNECTS SHOULD BE EXPECTED." Now but what if they have not put the full bread server yet? Meaning what if the server has a player limit and we are just on a hold list because if they put more players on the server it might either "Crash" or "Shut down" Because they are modifying the server's while players are on them which is possibly straining tryarch so they limited the players so that they can work on it stress free? (Remember the servers are only fresh so they are not 100% at all yet"
Conclusion 3
They have some detection system in their game to detect a "Pirated" Game but the problem with this theory is that my game is legit and on the disc so I highly doubt it is this..Also if they do have a detection system what if it is a possible issue and they made a wrong code now so on the 1.02 update and has messed with some people's games?
Also I will be posting here on the updates of the server to see if it is up in the united kingdom
DEFCON 3
MATCHMAKING SERVICES ARE ENABLED. ALL OTHER SERVICES ARE UNDERGOING CONTINUED MAINTENANCE IN PREPARATION FOR LAUNCH (FILMS, EMBLEM EDITOR, CODTV, LEADERBOARDS, RECENT GAMES, ETC). OCCASIONAL DISCONNECTS SHOULD BE EXPECTED.
Look, about this i dont know but i'll say exactly what happened.
9TH OF NOVEMBER.
Buying the game with my friends, went back home & none of us can connect
10TH OF NOVEMBER.
My friends were able to connect and they are playing it flawless. I Join the fun only to receive the server error. following until now i'm not able to connect.
MY CONCLUSION
Both me and my friends own a modded PS3, however, only i was having this Which means it's completely random because i see no reason to prevent someone from playing the game. So, these aren't bans and i'm sure of it. if you still worry. here is my reasons.
PS3: 4.31 OFW
GAME: RETAIL/LEGIT
BANNED ON PREVIOUS COD'S: NONE OF THEM
DEVELOPERS ADMIT THEY ARE NOT BANNING YET.
This should make your worries off. What's next?
As Reznet said, its on DEFCON 3. we should wait for DEFCON 5 to make things clear.
