Hi All

I managed to connect my PS3 online for the first time last night, very excited.

I unfortunately for now have to connect with a crosswire cable through my Laptop with my 3G (USB Modem) and changing the IP manually etc.

I am now connected and have played Need for Speed online / been to the store etc.

However, when I load up COD and choose Multiplayer / online mode I get to the find game screen, I see myself obviously as Rank 1, I have 3 choices if I remember correctly (Free for all, team deathmatch and some other deathmatch), I chose one and nothing happens which ever one I chose, In the top right hand corner it carries on saying "Finding Match Quality" and then something else about searching . I can wait on this screen for 5 minutes with nothing else happening and then I quit back and try again.

My questions:
Does it always take this long to find a game?

Is it something to do with just starting out?

Is it something to do with NAT 3?

Am I just being stupid?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply, someone else mentioned the servers might have been the problem so will retry this weekend.

Although the servers are bad at times. For the past few days, I have had no problems. Lyndon is right about checking your settings. Otherwise, there should be no reason for not connecting.

theres no real problems with the severs if your having issues put it doen to providers or local hardware.
