To fix the connection failed Puget Altus error for Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2, there are a few things players can try. Here’s a step-by-step guide on all of the methods you can try to fix this connection error:

  1. First, check the Modern Warfare 2 & Warzone 2 server status using the Activision support website.
