This could be an issue with the activision servers, but have you tried port forwarding with a few solutions in my guide?

Not that it will fix the servers issue from activision's master servers.
But here's the link.

When you go to this link, just click on the picture that says "fix" to get to the guide.

Find the port forwarding in the guide, but like I said, it's probably the master servers from activision, although I don't see anything like that in game about servers down.

Oh I think I know what you are talking about.., right after you login in the game, then you go to the multiplayer area too fast or you go into a hosted game lobby and back out too fast, it will boot you to the main menu telling you the servers are down, you have to slow down when you do this, just relog in the game, with your in game name, and then try again, just slow down when doing this, the connection has to find the servers and loads you into the multiplayer area at the same time, like it does with left 4 dead 2, but it doesn't hurt to open up some ports for port forwarding on the game, if you have a router, or something like cable internet, as this allows more access/throughput so that more bandwidth goes through it during the game, this allows your connection to be faster in it and for your connection to have less ping to servers, other than trying to block and filter out alot of packets.
The best solution is to turn off the router's firewalls within the router, but this is risky for hackers or other issues, although it opens the connection to breath more, by sending more bandwidth through the game while you have the game running and less packet filtering, which is like a check list at the border of a state when you drive up to it with your car, or just use your cable modem if it allows it, and if your cable modem doesn't have a web page of its own, then do this for just the game. The guide explains alot of this already though.

You're very welcome. Come back and ask anytime if you need help. :-)

Have you also tried everything in the guide such as motherboard drivers and other downloads with solutions? If so, thank you for checking it out and I'm glad your pc is all set at best. =)

oddly, i cant get multiplayer to connect at home, but when im on campus at uofl i have no problem. does that mean my router and modum at home cant support it?

That's possible, have you also tried port forwarding from the links I gave in my guide? With the 3 port types?

i play team fortress 2 with no problems, and ive checked to make sure fire wall wasnt in the way, and i cant seem to get to where i port forward. ive looked at a dozen sites to learn how and i cant seem to get to it with either tutorial

Yes but team fortress 2 is a different game, you have to port forward each game unless you can manage to disable all firewalls hardware or software types.

That is also something I mentioned in some links through the guide, that each router is going to have a different web page of its own, and will be more complicated to figure out, I would suggest buying or trying a few others if your service provider will let you try them before buying, you can also rent a few modems/routers per month as well. Don't forget to use the docsis 3.0 router/modem versions for the best performance, it's in the newer hardware, that came out around 2010 - 2011, as I mentioned that in the guide links as well.

I hope you can get it figured out, but yes each game has its own port forwarding ports, my guide will show 3 of them.

You might have to try and unplug the router and just try the modem, but I would call your service provider about the issues, as they can block alot from their end as well, and ask for suggestions on routers/modems and port forwarding, to see also what might be the best router/modem to have. I used to call up my cable company back in 2011 about some of these issues, as they are picky and do control alot from their end, and each internet service provider is going to be different.

just did the port forward. no results. its a new router and modem, only a year old. ATT Uverse and internet service. i even disabled firewalls and all programs and still nothing. i went to class today and it worked no problem, only problem is here at home when i have the time to even play. I guess ATT doesnt want me to play :c

Yes but it depends on the modem and router types, as one will be more complicated than the other, and other modems will have a different web page, and since it's ATT, yeah that sounds bad, can you switch to charter internet? I don't totally recommend comcast internet as I've heard things in the past about how they limited their internet bandwidth per month, although my aunt seems to get nice speeds with no limit, but that's possibly because she doesn't over use it, but that would be a better route possibly to call charter internet, and I would go to charter's website and recommend they put service in your area, you can offer the area for a chance to have them come and do that, might take a long time though, keep calling and putting pressure on them, they might eventually do that, it's because one customer isn't seen over the many, and that's a harsh situation to live in for that one customer, I've had to go through that.

But if you can, try before you buy other routers and modems, as different modems will possibly work better, and make sure you use compatible modems/routers. When I tried different routers/modems back in 2011 on cable, I was playing this game and the different routers/modems or the combo router and modem, actually had different and some more complicated web pages to understand the port forwarding, almost impossible to figure out, but it really depends on the router/modem, also if both have a built in web page, be sure to port forward both of them or disable the firewalls in one of them, probably the modem.
