Call of Duty 4: PS3 Connectivity Patch Coming

Robert Bowling, social relations manager of Infinity Ward, updated the Charlie Oscar Delta forums today about an upcoming patch making it's way to the PLAYSTATION 3 version of Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare. The new PLAYSTATION 3 exclusive connectivity patch will include the following.

US Data Center For NAT Server
Will make all US players connect to US data center and EU users connect to EU data center. This will optimize performance for all users in those areas.

Fixed 'Downloading Game Settings' Error
Fixed error with conflicting packet interaction.

Port 3095 Issue Corrected
Players were required to have port 3095 open in order to host. Now players who have port 3095 blocked can still host matches.

Matchmaking Optimization
Server search will end upon acquiring a certain number of good servers. Added "prefer" servers with best ping, this will optimize and expedite players finding and joining good matches.

The patch is set to hit sometime in the year future. No actual date was mentioned.
