MW2 Multiplayer Doens’t Work, Can’t Launch MW2 Multiplayer Fix

Before we proceed, make sure to know exactly at what time Modern Warfare 2 launches in your region and on your platform. I know we’re stating the obvious here, but the reason might be as simple as the game not yet being available in your region or on your platform. The game goes live on PC at 6 am CEST / 5 pm BST / 12 am ET / 9 pm PT. If that turns out to be true, simply wait until it launches and you should be able to play multiplayer.

However, if that’s not the case, and the game has launched in your region, read on. We hope that you didn’t meddle with switching your time to New Zealand and your location there. Some players do that to try to play early. And that might have messed up your account. If even that is not the reason, then there’s a third solution. What you need to do is go to your Activision account, and make sure that it is registered to your country. This has proven to be a reliable fix for many players with the same problem. So there you have it, this is how to fix the “MW2 Can’t Access Multiplayer” issue. Nonetheless, we will make sure to update the article if we find any other potential workarounds!

    I cannot access at all, when I boot up multiplayer it takes me to the PS store to rate the game and view terms. I’ve already approved all terms. When I try and join a friend I get an error about Xbox live even though I’m on PS4

    I found the fix.
    You need to launch the game when you try to connect in the server you press O/B then you choose play as offline
    Now you have a main menu you need to press the button to get back online and boom you are login in multiplayer menu

    You are welcome. Have fun

    it says that there are multiple logins on my account even though i’m not game sharing? help?

    1. Try this – Go to activision.com, head to your account and unlink your PlayStation/Xbox account. Then open Call of Duty and sign back in.
