Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 recently launched for all players, and many have already voiced frustration over certain aspects of the game. However, one thing that's prompted an immediate response from the developer is the spawn rate in online matches, which is wreaking havoc for players diving into multiplayer.
Per IGN, Activision has pulled several maps from Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 for "unfavorable spawns," which were trapping some players in near-endless loops of spawning and death.

So far, Quarry, Rundown, and Scrapyard - specifically in the Hardpoint playlist - are the only maps that Activision has pulled offline. These maps also happen to be popular picks from previous Call of Duty games that were notable for their close-quarters design and/or dense map structure. While playing these maps led to experiences where players would die quickly in previous games, the frequency of online users getting killed in Modern Warfare 3 has reached comical levels.
On social media, players have shared videos of their experiences playing Modern Warfare 3 on the Quarry map, which has become a hotbed for the spawn rate. In online videos, matches would come near a standstill as one team would stand at a particular spawn point and pick off enemy players who would rejoin the match.
