The highly anticipated Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was finally released last week. Despite being a triple A title from a renowned studio, the first-person shooter lacks polish and quality. This can be observed in the various glitches, bugs, and network issues present in the game.

Modern Warfare 2 is one of the most hyped releases of 2022, with fans eagerly waiting for its launch ever since the beta testing phase concluded on September 26. Unfortunately, the day one release experience left players disappointed. While some were unable to access the game, others' games were crashing when they queued with a party size of more than two players.

Clearly, this requires fixes and solutions from the developers, but that may not always the case. Before making changes to one's system, users must ensure that the problem is on their end and not on the game's servers.

This guide takes a closer look into the process of checking if Modern Warfare 2 servers are online at the moment or not.
