Call of Duty: MW3 and Warzone Plagued by Progression Bug; Microsoft Blamed

Developers scramble to fix issues affecting player progression and matchmaking, offering compensation and sparking debate among the community.

Microsoft's acquisition of Activision Blizzard is blamed for the current issues in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone, including a bug that halted player progression and affected skill-based matchmaking (SBMM).
The bug led to a temporary shutdown of SBMM, causing mixed reactions among players, with some enjoying the more relaxed matchmaking.
Developers are actively working on resolving the issues, with some modes temporarily disabled and compensation offered to affected players.
Despite efforts to fix the problems, the Call of Duty community remains frustrated, with calls for the removal of SBMM from the game.
The issues have sparked a broader discussion about the management of the game, including concerns over hackers and the cost of in-game items.
