Hello. I'm having some problems and thought you all might be able to help me out.
I'll try to keep this brief. Multiplayer doesn't seem to work for me. Here's what's happening:
1)When I enter the multiplayer server screen, usually I get no rooms. When I do get rooms (which is very rare), it only shows 4-8 rooms tops.
2)I click "refresh" and "get new list", but nothing happens...no new list, and if I was lucky enough to get a few rooms to pop up before clicking one of these, *poof*, they're gone
3)I click a room to join or enter an IP for a computer that I know is hosting a game, and it goes to the "connecting to server" screen, but that's it. It stays on that screen forever.
I'm behind a router, and I know that Activision says "we don't support playing through shared internet connections or behind a firewall", but let's get 100% serious...most people in this country are going to use either one or both of those. Does anybody have any ideas on what I can try? I'm using a D-Link DI604 router. I have no problem playing other games (Counter-strike and Warcraft III, to name 2), but this one has caused me a lot of grief in the short 24 hours that it's been out. Any help or any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
