Additionally, the Activision Online Services can redirect you to the network statuses of specific platforms, including Steam and Battle.net for PC, Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network.
Visit Call of Duty’s official social media pages
Call of Duty and its primary game developers maintain active social media channels where they post important updates, including the MW3 server status and errors that prevent you from accessing the game.
Here’s a list of pages you can visit:
- Call of Duty

If you’re encountering persistent connection problems despite the Activision Online Services indicating favorable MW3 server status and absence of reported errors on Call of Duty’s pages, the issue likely resides within your setup.
To address this, consider troubleshooting steps such as restarting your game, device, or router. A simple reboot can often resolve temporary glitches.
