connecting to online services (time out)

I am trying to play in Modern Warfare 3. I can execute the program but when I hit "Play" it says "connecting to online services" for about 1 minute. Then a message comes up "The Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 server is not available at this time. Please try again later or visit calofduty.com - shooter games,video games Resources and Information. for updates".

I have checked my router, talked to my ISP, searched the internet, reinstalled, verified cache etc. but nothing helps. Am I banned?


Why can't I log on to the servers? This is very frustrating. Thanks.

i don't know i have the same problem.

if i hit play it says the same. but i have no router ... we need really help whit this.
