Call of Duty: MW3 Season 3 Update Is Having Some Problems

It seems as though the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 update is causing some headaches for players. The brand-new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 update is available to download right now across all platforms. It gives players access to a slew of new content across the game’s multiplayer and Zombies modes, plus plenty of big updates for the Warzone battle royale as well.

When it comes to Warzone, the Season 3 update brings back the fan favorite Rebirth Island, while MW3 multiplayer fans have new maps, weapons, and Operators to check out. There has been a great deal of anticipation for the Season 3 update, but unfortunately, it looks like things aren’t going quite as planned. Numerous users online have reported issues with the recently-released Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 update.

Players are encountering a variety of issues with the new Call of Duty update. An Xbox-specific problem is forcing players to download 229.84 GB of data, which will keep some fans from being able to jump in to Season 3 in a timely manner. This has been a recurring problem for Call of Duty on Xbox, and it’s unfortunate that it keeps happening. A separate issue, impacting all platforms, is causing players to encounter a black screen whenever they try to launch the game or navigate a menu.

Call of Duty: MW3 Season 3 Having Problems

These problems are unfortunate, but the good news is that Activision is well aware of the problems currently plaguing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. A tweet was sent out acknowledging the black screen issue, so hopefully a fix for that is released sooner rather than later. In the meantime, those that have been able to get into Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 can continue playing without issue.

Season 3 marks the end of an era when it comes to Modern Warfare 3 updates. It was confirmed that Treyarch is done working on Modern Warfare 3 Zombies as of the launch of Season 3, with the team moving on to a new project. It’s speculated that Treyarch is focusing its efforts on a Zombies mode for the 2024 Call of Duty game that has yet to be revealed. But while fans still don’t have much in the way of concrete details about the 2024 Call of Duty, rumors persist that it will be called Call of Duty: Black Ops Gulf War and launch later this year.
