~~UPDATE :Xbox 360/one and Playstation 3 seem to have their player numbers fixed and displaying accurately. I have my main PSN account that i never changed, and i do not plan to get rid of it.
MW3 OFFLINE EDITOR PS3 PS3
Not dead yet!Īlso, to address any future replies or PMs asking me if I have a spare ps3 account, as much as i wish i had a million of them to give away, i do not. I love doing things like this for the game I love. And the ones still playing are the ones to thank. I'm thankful that 10 years later i can still be able to even play this game. No matter the platform, we are MW3 players, small in numbers, but tight knight, brothers in (virtual) arms. You are the core community, the ones keeping it going, keeping it fun. If you are reading this, and actively play the game. Another possible way to spot a hacker is if a player has a high kill count with ZERO deaths. If you get killed from literally nothing but on the killcam you where knifed by an invisible player, or notice on the killcam a player is instantly snapping to player heads and always dropping headshots through walls. Its recommended to just play pluto/tekno rather than steam. POWER OFF YOUR CONSOLE MID GAME! DO NOT LEAVE THE MATCH! Doing this will not save your progress to the activision servers and your stats will be safe as they where before you played the hacked match.Īs for PC, hackers are very very abundant. If you encounter a hacker, keep an eye out for a colored clan tag, keep an eye out for strange messages in the kill feed such as "name changes", and if you find you've been killed by one of these annoying basement dwellers. Some will reset your rank! Thankfully there are ways to prevent being reset, but if you act of out panic and use the "Leave game" option in the pause menu. The toxic hacker will cause you to lag, make themselves unkillable or invisible, and just ruin the whole fun.

These wont use their hacks to give you rank (unless you ask, sometimes they just do it :/), Aimbot, ESP, etc, etc. At the same time however, there are some what I like to call "Anti-Hackers" who are hackers, that get rid of the hackers and keeps the game fair for everyone. You haven't met the scum who hack a nearly 10 year old game to win. If you thought campers with akimbo FMG9's where a pain. Visit here to talk with a Sony Support Person Maybe ask a friend if they have one? But if the main account you play on has played mw3 in the past, call Sony and ask them if they can change your name back to the original username. The solution for my fellow PS3 gamers? Well, it's twisty, So you'll need an account that has played MW3 before the name change update.

As far as I am concerned this does not affect Xbox players or PC players.
MW3 OFFLINE EDITOR PS3 UPDATE
Also, new accounts made AFTER the name change update will get this error too. And after reaching out to some folks over at Activision's support forum, it turns out the culprit was the PS4's ability to change the account name. This is a very common issue, especially on the PS3. So heres a copy+paste from last years guide as it still holds true. Its 2021 and we STILL have this issue, specifically on PS3. "Communication with the Activision servers has been interrupted" Plutonium is the most trustworthy as i've heard talks of exploits on TeknoMW3. Sometimes Tekno will have more players, but also Plutonium will have more. Pinning down which has more players is a challenge. You can also refer to SteamCharts for players currently running the game via Steam, but not necessarily in a match.Īlternatively, PC has a few different flavors of third-party, community ran servers via Plutonium or TeknoMW3. At peak times you may see around 500-700 players, but as low as 50-100 depending on location and time of day. The in-game player counter is somehow not glitched like console. PC on the other hand has two ways to see how many players are playing. If you have an account that has played MW3 pre-name change update but you changed your name, it's been said that reverting your name back to its original via Sony support will allow you to play again. Only accounts that have played the game pre-name change update to PSN can play as name changes seem to cause the issue. PS3 seems to have a dedicated core community, but becoming a part of that community may be much much harder than you think. I do not own an xbox to conduct my own testing, but i've gathered information from various sources. Although, according to YouTuber Fortunate, who's most recent video at the time of this writing is on MW3 Xbox 360 says that it took him a long time to find a lobby of TDM, with no luck in any other game modes.

The approximate numbers are not known at the moment. Do not be fooled by this as it is simply glitched. Let's begin with playercounts (Multiplayer)Īlright over on console (Ps3/Xbox 360/One via BC) the playercounts on the multiplayer menu are still gitched.
