Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II is known for bringing thousands of players into its servers so from time to time there are sure to be server malfunctions. In turn, this can keep people locked out from multiplayer so knowing exactly how to check if there is a server issue is vital. Although there may even be an error code such as ‘stuck on installing’ keeping you from playing the game which you can learn how to fix. If you are not getting any error codes and it is indeed the servers, here is how to check if the Modern Warfare 2 servers are down.

How to Check if the Modern Warfare 2 Servers Are Down

First off, if you are struggling with logging into Modern Warfare 2, you might need to update your game with the latest patch or look for a fix to an error. If this isn’t your issue, double-check the Modern Warfare 2 global release time to make sure the game is unlocked for you.

The first place you want to visit to determine if the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 servers are down is Activision Support. Once you are on this site, you can select Modern Warfare 2 from the drop-down and scroll to see if the servers are active and on which platforms.

Unfortunately, since Modern Warfare 2 isn’t officially out yet, you’ll need to rely on a third-party server checker like Down Detector. This site takes user input to determine if any Call of Duty servers are down.

By simply checking the servers, you can quickly determine if any errors you are running into are on the game’s end or your end.

So, whether you are trying to hop in to experience the new third-person modes or you want to play the new Prisoner Rescue game mode, make sure the servers are up first. The last thing you want is to blame yourself for any Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 server problems.

Call of Duty Modern Warfare II is available now on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC.
