A recent statement from an Activision representative revealed an uptick in player activity within the Call of Duty community, particularly with Modern Warfare 3. Compared to its predecessor, Modern Warfare 3 has experienced a surge in total player engagement.
Initially released on November 10, Modern Warfare 3 faced criticism due to a rocky beta and numerous bugs upon launch. Despite these issues, many players praised the multiplayer experience of Modern Warfare 3, noting significant improvements over its predecessor. This positive reception translated into strong sales, with Modern Warfare 3 becoming the best-selling game in the United States for November.

Despite the implementation of thousands of bans by developers, the problem seems to be escalating over time.
