Here’s What Modern Warfare 3 Devs are Working On, Have Planned
Infinity Ward’s Mark Rubin has been busy keeping the Modern Warfare 3 community up-to-date with what’s going on behind the scenes at the studio, and what’s next for the game. In his latest update, Rubin gives us a thorough briefing on what the team are working on now, and have planned for the near future. Lag compensation, matchmaking, spawning, PS3 DLC Issues and more weapon balancing are all on the horizon.
Lag Comp (Xbox & PS3)
TDM has some settings that replicate to an extent MW2 lag comp settings. More to be done here. Moving to all playlists soon. Probably sometime next week barring any issues. PC is still being worked on as well but is a different code path.
Matchmaking (Xbox)
Domination has a new matchmaking schema. It no longer uses Hilbert regions but rather country code based on your IP. Improvements to that coming in upcoming patch. But if you have been matchmaking a lot with people from other countries please try this out and see if it is better.
Spawning (All)
Faceoff maps have had more spawn points added and a slight tweak to the logic. Should reduce the amount of spawn trapping. But the maps are small so spawning will always feel dangerous. Part of the fun of the mode. A full re-write on spawn logic is in the works but will be some time before it is ready.
DLC
Terminal is out for everyone on Xbox. I’ll be able to announce the date for Ps3 and PC sometime soon pending PR approval. Probably next week or so. Yes Terminal will be free for everyone just as it is on Xbox.
PS3 DLC Issues
Some of the issues with PS3 DLC have been resolved. There are still isolated cases of people losing their Elite Subscription (me included) and also of some DLC content that seems to be either unplayable or un-downloadable. We are still working with Sony on those issues. Hit up @candyslexia for possible solutions for DLC issues.
Weapon Balance
We have started our pass on weapons here at the studio and are testing out some changes. We are just hitting ARs and SMGs at first. Our current philosophy on this right now is not to nerf but rather to buff those weapons that are under-performing. Not sure yet on the eta of when these changes will go live.
Playlist Updates
I don’t have any info yet on Playlist updates just yet. Hoping to get to that soon.

I thought you possibly couldn’t make this game MORE unrealistic
But if you actually want me for this please fix this:
a Barret 50 Cal. can pierce 9-inch’s of solid metal
a Barret 50 Cal. to the Head at Point Blank Range can’t pierce the Sunglasses on a Juggernaut
and why can’t you shoot down the helicopter with a predator missile
how ’bout make a great game by doing the only thing every game hasen’t done
MAKE A END,
it’s not realistic seeing how they give you Guns, Grenades, Missiles and Crew Airdropped but they don’t wait 2 seconds to get you out of there
This is why the US Army uses Battlefield to train troops before actually training they said and quote “We didn’t use the Newly Released MW3, because after seeing if our Men could get experience it was found very unrealistic”
Also this is why 35,000,000 People play Minecraft, because we are sick of f******g Activision using crappy games
and fix another god damn thing in Village or whatever its called when you die from fall damage that B.S. first of all you won’t die heres what would happen:
A* Falling then getting damage and surviving a few minutes before die-ing
or
B* YOU LIVE because I’ve fallen farther in real life and didn’t even have a scratch
FIX YOUR GOD DAMN GAME, YOU ARE RUING THE VERY NAME: Video Game
Do us ALL a favor and listen to your GOD DAMN Customers
Don’t let a 5 Year Old come up with the Idea of Modern F***** 3, let your customers decide what THEY WANT,
Oh yeah thats why 35 Million People play games
2 Million+ every week, better make a better game
SO SUCK MY BALLLLLLLLLSSSS

All your questions can be answered by a single answer
This is just a game, realism doesn’t always exist in games
because this is the thing that make games the games they should be
to be played and have fun with.
PS. You can shoot down a helicopter with a predator missile, you’re just too incompetent and too impatient to try
You think BF3 is realistic?
Then try to carry a a full loadout and an LMG then try to sprint without stopping ?
or maybe you should jump out of a jet then try to climb back inside again ?
or better yet
Find a war where every bullet is a fucking tracer ?
So Shut up and just play the game, if you don’t want to then don’t
no one is actually forcing you to play anyway, you look like someone retarded enough to rage about a game which you even played, stop playing it and just shut up, you’re speculations are somewhat wrong anyways
Have a Good Day sir ^_^
