2.01 Firmware Update Kills CoD4?

There are reports that the the 2.01 PlayStation 3 firmware update has negatively affected Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare:
…it appears as if the patch may have created problems for Call of Duty 4 players, who took to the official forums (registration required) en masse to complain of critical errors while trying to play the game online now. Many also report getting the same error: “DW update file error 102 - ‘BD_EXCEPTION_IN_DB’ ” when trying to start a new character. Apparently, firmware 2.01 … is a hippie. Neither Sony nor Activision have responded to the the issue, but we’ll let you know when they do. We also don’t know if this extends to any other games. Have any of you had similar problems?
Have you had any problems with CoD4 since the firmware update?
(Thanks, Joystiq.)

Call of Duty working fine 2.0, came home last night to play a good 5 hours online, downloaded 2.1( it makes you before you could play ) then that error came up. Call of Duty is out of commission, error comes up everywere. they should fix this problem since this is the only ps3 game i own.

Hey james, i have had COD4 for the Ps3 for awhile now. I have had no problems what so ever. Make sure you go to system update when you turn you ps3 on. After that, which may take awhile depending on your connection, you simply click on the multiplayer option after you turn call of duty 4 on and than click play online and it should update settings right there also. After all of that you should be able to succesfully get online and start to play.
thanks,
