Remember the glory days around this past Christmas? The days when Xbox Live just didn’t work? Last night, the servers had an acid flashback. This time, Call of Duty 4 and the new Variety Map Pack were the culprit. So many users hopped online to download the maps and play the game that they broke things for everyone.
Above a screen grab of what’s posted on the official Game of the Year edition website, where users who picked up the GoTY game enter their codes to get the maps. Yeah, even Activision put it up on their website that Live was having issues.
All seems to be fine now as people have decided to get some sleep. I’d except things to get a little hairy again later today, though, as more people get on to grab the maps.
Did you have any troubles last night? Let us know in the comments.
