In a Reddit post on November 16, a player called out Activision and Sledgehammer Games for neglecting to fix a glaring bug in Modern Warfare 3. This bug prevents players from receiving XP for destroying an Overwatch Helo, and it is the same bug that was present in Modern Warfare 2. Despite players bringing attention to this issue for over a year, the developers have failed to address it.
Another bug that players have been frustrated with is the malfunctioning EOD Padding perk. This perk does not work against certain grenades, resulting in players taking full damage. These bugs, along with performance hiccups and other issues affecting gameplay mechanics, highlight the disappointing state of Modern Warfare 3.
Given that Modern Warfare 3 is a recent release, players expected the developers to be actively working on fixing these common launch issues. However, the community’s hope for improvement is dwindling, as they feel that the game is simply a rehashed version of its predecessor.
| Issue | Description |
|---|---|
| XP Bug | Players do not receive XP for destroying an Overwatch Helo, a bug carried over from Modern Warfare 2. |
| EOD Padding Perk | The perk fails to protect against certain grenades, causing players to take full damage. |
| Performance Hiccups | Rampant packet loss and other bugs affecting crucial mechanics have been reported by players. |
