CoD MW2 servers: How to check if Activision's servers are down
It should be Task Force 141 going dark – not the MW2 servers.
With a game as big and as popular as Modern Warfare 2, it's no surprise that there's an odd MW2 server issue from time to time.
This is likely due to planned maintenance which requires scheduled periods of server downtime, especially around the launch of Season 4, which brings a new Warzone map to Call of Duty.
This maintenance is important in the long term even if it means a break from blowing up cars on Santa Sena Border Crossing.
It's also nice to know that your Internet isn't at fault, especially if you have one of those pesky CoD MW2 error codes – so read on below to see if MW2 is down right now.
Is CoD MW2 down?
The official Activision channels claim that Cod MW2 is not down at the time of this article being updated.
The Warzone 2.0 servers are also running smoothly at the current time, according to Activision's pages.
How to check if MW2 servers are down
If you want to check if MW2 servers are down, it's best to check Activision's dedicated online services page, which includes the server status for each platform, connection tips and recently resolved issues.
As with most online services, you can also check Down Detector. As a community-generated site, you can see if anyone else has the same problems as you. There's also a comment section which can be useful if the servers are up but you're still experiencing issues.
