Call of Duty: WWII limits some social features in wake of rocky launch

After Call of Duty: WWII launched last week, many players found the game struggling to maintain a solid connection. Through its November 3 launch and into the weekend, fans reported issues getting into multiplayer games. By Sunday, however, developer Sledgehammer had launched a patch to deal with the problem.

Since the update, WWII’s stability has improved a lot. I’ve had no issues finding online multiplayer gunfights. But Sledgehammer’s fix is a bandage; it beefed up its servers while also disabling a number of other features.
