I heard that MW2 has no search preferences.which means no local play only.which means playing Americans and a bad connection.If this is true whats the point.I wont be buying it.

Yes, its true although they said that they improved Matchmaking so you would be match up woth people in your area. But how often does that work?

if olive oil comes from olives, then where does baby oil come from

this was discussed a while back. From what i remember MW2 does have the locale search function that was in WAW however it is just that this option is permanently enable (which means they didnt need to show it at all). So in theory when you search it should throw u into the closest available game.

That's bs , when searching it will connect u to quickest games which is why most aus gamers are playing on yellow/red bar. Bring on cod 7 .

Youll noticed my post was from before the game came out right? I was going off what IW had said, not my fault it didnt turn out as expected.

I must say that I did buy the game and was pissed off  when I could get a local game.But I soon realized that I was kick'n USA quantum singularity.I found there was no problem with yellow even red, I was ok. finnishing in the top 3 most of the time.

yea a lot of my games are red-yellow, best time to play is early in the morning USA time, kinda unfare if you live in Australia/NZ seeing as we paid full price as well. we need a fix.

FIX THE PING ISSUE WITH MODERN WARFARE 2

Not sure if you noticed, but when you first look for a game in a party or alone you may be put in a room by your self. This is an opertunity to invite friends to play with you, you need 8 to start team deathmatch etc, if you don't get enough people it will then look for a game with the best connection for all players now in that screenand put you in there.    best advise, Get at least 8 players befor you look then invite them on that first screen (they cant join via the "joinable" option from dash), as the old way dosen't work.

Adapt or die, in game as in real life

what was the point in making warfare 2 then all it is are new maps, perks and other class changes without the search preference that was in cod 5 its useless

agreed!! they spent all that time on the wow factor and pretty much forgot about the online playability!......

Yeh im finding myself in a lot of American rooms too. I dont know if it'll help much but there is a online petition someone has started on the Infinity Ward forum. There is currently around 50pages of signatures to it so far, and its basically requesting that Infinity Ward implement a local search only function like what was included with World at War. Here is the link if your interested in having your say... http://www.infinityward.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=165194
