How to fix the error
There are a few different reasons why you may be encountering error code, so follow these steps to fix your Modern Warfare 2 install:
- The most likely source is that there is either server maintenance or an update - simply restart your game or check out the Infinity Ward Twitter.

- Check for updates or verify the integrity of your game files. This is the last resort but may end up fixing your issues.
- On PlayStation, press the 'Options' button on the Modern Warfare 2 icon and choose the 'Check for updates' option.
