It just means that theres no spaces left in the game, you moron.

Either that or the host had closed down the game.

Which Call of Duty is it?

[tim99r]

call of duty 5

[sworddude198]

Ah right, I have no real experience with that.

Though from my experience from CoD4, I'll say this: The online is utter crap when it comes to friends, even with private matches/parties.

[tim99r]

1st swordude - try asking questions before you start abusing folk, eh?!

One thing to try is to put your PS3 into a DMZ (demilitarized zone) which assigns your PS3 a static IP address rather than the dynamic (constantly changing) on it gives itself. That has helped me with W@W a bit 0- but the fact that the servers are crap doesnt help matters any.

Good luck
