and yes, they do actually have every right to disable it. Doesn't mean people aren't gonna be p!ssed about it because Activisions to lazy to test these issues correctly in the first place or at least not disable parts of the game and give us a hotfix or something, a coupe of losers taking advantage of an explout DOES NOT affect me whereas removing features of the game does

Foolish?? When Treyarch's gamemode vault never failed me?? I don't think it's unreasonable to expect a game feature to work correctly when it is has been included in the publishers other games and it IS a key feature for us when my friends and I use it on a daily basis Also so what if our SO rank is stored on a local file there must be onlne records of people purchasing sleight of hand or something else that requires lvl 50. As well as having the achievements for purchasing all survival equipment (i'm lucky my rank reset and came back next console restart)

I will also add that I don't seem to have ANY matchmaking issues, I always seem to find a lobby of my native Aussies

BTW "Palm meets face" = I know that guy is right but I wanna try and make him look stupid and I dont know what else to say, try again kid.

and thank you to @candyslexia for the straight answer

The patch would not return your stats, just would prevent others from having the same problem. Your SO stats are stored locally and not on their servers so they can not just restore them form a stored file somewhere.

Actually you do realize that if you make it using their tools in the game it is not just your property anymore and since it interacts with the game they have every right to disable it, if there could be an issue with it.

And the vault was not really a key feature of the game. it was an addition to the game, and the first of iw's game to have it, so to expect that on the first time it was going to work perfectly when they never tried before is just sort of foolish.

I don't think the TU was meant to restore the stats, but rather, to prevent it from happening again.

So, summing up, IW has stopped us using a key feature of the game because of a mistake that they made developing the game in effect punishing us fans for a mistake they made and for a bunch of losers that they can't be bothered policing.

Custom game modes are enabled again, it just took us a bit to get them back up.

Re: Modern Warfare 3 Title Update and Hot Fix Notes

donotreply@activision.com — Thu, 28 Jun 2012 14:55:14 GMT

DL update.. playing for 10mins and have to rage quit a lot.. why?
because obviously Canada has borders with California, not to my knowledge, but whatever...
so this canadian player god mode killing everything , u see him sprinting and while he s sprinting he just shot bullets from his eyes..
another game in maybe 30 seconds, somebody allready score like 10-2, really???..

right now i got into match, 3seconds after start, host migration, then again..
it s really sad, i hope u guys fix this game somehow, because nothing is more frustrating than "god mode" players running around with insane scores, and u cant even kill him from back lol, and host being punished for being host
my router is fine for rest of PC, XBOX 360 games, so i dont think problem is on our end

suggestion- can there by little flag by default on our emblem, so we know who s from what country?
