MW3 players fed up with being penalized for “piss poor” server disconnections
ActivisionMW3 players are frustrated after being disconnected from Ranked Play due to the servers going down.
With the release of Ranked Play in MW3’s recent Season 1 Reloaded update, many players were looking forward to a game mode where the stakes were higher.
In Ranked Play, they are punished for poor performance and penalized for quitting a match early to encourage everyone sticking it out.
However, the game seems to be suffering some connectivity issues, resulting in players being forced out of matches, and the fans are not happy about the penalties.
MW3 players are upset with forced disconnection penalties
The conversation began over on the MW3 subreddit, where a fan laid out why they are so unhappy with Ranked Play.
They say that while they’ve had some fun with the mode, they’ve repeatedly been kicked out of games for “no reason.”
“This has happened three times and just now the whole menu froze and I get more SR loss for inactivity.”
This player is not the only one experiencing problems like this either, as plenty of others in MW3 are coming forward to share their own stories about being penalized for doing nothing wrong.
One user didn’t hold back in their feelings about it: “Penalizing people for piss poor servers and game crashes is enough to make me want to delete this.”
Another person mentioned that they hit the cancel button right before joining a match when they were given the option, and the game still gave them a penalty for leaving a match early.
“We all got hit with a suspension for ‘leaving a match’ and we lost SR as well. We never even left the lobby screen and there was no warning about a penalty…”
These issues, while annoying, wouldn’t be as frustrating if they weren’t happening during Ranked Play, where the players are losing quite a bit when they are dropped from a game.
As of now, there has been no official word on if this is being looked at by the MW3 devs, but with so many players mentioning it, they are surely aware of the problem.
