The Collection 4 DLC has what is I am sure is a reproducible bug on some consoles other than mine.
If I download all 5 maps I cannot start the game anymore - it leaves the dashboard and the screen goes black but it appears to be stuck in a loop. If I go to my dash menu where "Play Modern Warfare 3" & the disc icon are, it repeatedly switches between enabled/disabled.
IF I go to my hard drive and remove any single map of the five new ones (it does not matter which), then I can load the game. However I cannot play in the "collection 4" maps since I do not have all 5.
This is the message I get: "Playing with original maps only. download all DLC content you are entitled to from the STORE in order to play on DLC maps." Which leads me to believe that the Collection 4 is fully installed I cannot play on ANY of my PRIOR DLC maps. I have not confirmed this but that's what the message says. I did manage to load a game which was on the free-to-public map "Terminal".
So this issue is pretty huge, and I'm sure there's got to be some others with this issue. RECAP:
1. Collection 4 renders MW3 absolutely unplayable
2. Removing any one of the Collection 4 maps allows MW3 to load but the remaining maps of Collection 4 cannot be played, and possibly other collections are unplayable too.
i tried to call activision to confirm the collection 4 bug but their helpline unfortunatly closed 30 minutes ago and isnt open over the weekend... This was the australian activison so maybe someone from america try call the american activison and find out whats going on!
Go here they know about it:

Here are the steps:
Basically you have to keep all the maps and just delete the "collection 4" since it's just a authorization for downloading the maps.
i have the black screen problem but i didn't get the collections as i got the dlc each month and now i've got the issue, and theres nothing about premium members getting it on websites, what do i do?
im getting the same problem as are my mates, this takes the mickey seeing as we paid the money for it and they have not said anything about it or even said we are now trying to reslove the problem sorry for the S***
This is some messsed up s*** paid for it and now cant play it hope they release the patch soon![]()

to solve this problem just delete the marketplace content stuff, it works
now they just need to fix the game killing lag...
