Modern Warfare 2 and xbox live issues

[Rob1256]

I recently bought MW2 for my xbox as I thought xbox live worked properly at uni because my other games do.

Now i know that the NAT type is strict and that there probably isn't a way to change this, its just annoying though because i can't find any games but if i join a game one of my friends is already playing it works fine!

So i was just wondering if anyone knows of a workaround or something similar? Cos' it's really annoying that I can only paly this game if one of my friends are playing

Thanks for any help in advance.

Hey, Im not actually officially part of LUGS, but just happened across these forums when I was googling something about resnet (speed / bandwidth cap on DLs)...

Anyway - MW2 on 360 works but it can take AGES to find a game (or sometimes it goes really quick).

Generally you have the best luck searching for games on TDM Express, but it can take up to 10 mins to find a game, don't be disheartened, your game will come.

That said, it's MUCH easier to find a game on MW2 than it is on GOW2.

I wonder if MW2 works online on PCs given the shitty IWNet (only reason I didn't get it on PC tbh).

Dunno about a workaround, but i heard from a friend of mine that apparently the NAT is really relaxed about 5-9am xD I know it's not ideal, but y'know i guess it's some sort of workaround
