Since 6 AM, you can play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. With a new release, various bugs are to be expected. However, the multiplayer spawns at the release of CoD are already almost legendary. And there is currently a game-breaking bug in MW3 that can end your match quickly.
What kind of bug is it? The bug in question can contribute to ending your matches early. It ensures that players in the hardpoint mode in multiplayer appear at the same spawn point on the map Quarry.
What is Hardpoint?
Hardpoint is a multiplayer mode from many CoD games. Here, you need to capture a point and hold it with your team. Older points eventually disappear and new ones are generated. This keeps you constantly moving.
In CoD: MW3, the mode is called Stellung
in German.
This means that players with the fastest reaction and/or the best aim have the chance to eliminate most of their opponents within seconds. The defeated players are left with no choice but to queue again for a map. Of course, hoping not to land on Quarry again.
The bloodbath resulting from the bug can make the map challenging for more sensitive players: The match starts and instead of the expected game, you are caught in a loud storm of gunfire, blood splatters, and falling bodies. Anyone playing CoD: MW3 will know what they’re getting into with a shooter, but such a massacre can still be surprising.
Here is a snippet of what the bloodbath can look like – posted by a user on X.com:

Does the bug also have advantages? The bug does indeed have advantages – Yes. You can gather a lot of experience points within a short time thanks to the bug. If you are among the players with quick reactions and/or good aim mentioned above.
The game then serves you all your potential kills on a silver platter, and you just have to pull the trigger. This helps you level up faster and gain more items and prestige.
Is Activision already working on a fix? Most likely yes. Spawn bugs in particular ruin the fun of many players. Furthermore, it is not intended that you eliminate your opponents so quickly and accumulate the corresponding experience points. This is supposed to happen gradually with the game time.
In the past, Activision has always shown quick fingers and swift fixes for such bugs. There is no reason to believe this will be any different. The predecessor CoD: MW2, for example, was a playground for trickshotters at release. The developers simply disabled the weapon attachments responsible for the glitch back then.
According to a tweet from @CODUpdates on X.com (formerly Twitter), the affected map has now been removed from the hardpoint rotation. The maps Rundown and Scrapyard have also been temporarily disabled.
