It seems as though the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 update is causing some headaches for players. The brand-new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 update is available to download right now across all platforms. It gives players access to a slew of new content across the game's multiplayer and Zombies modes, plus plenty of big updates for the Warzone battle royale as well.

When it comes to Warzone, the Season 3 update brings back the fan favorite Rebirth Island, while MW3 multiplayer fans have new maps, weapons, and Operators to check out. There has been a great deal of anticipation for the Season 3 update, but unfortunately, it looks like things aren't going quite as planned. Numerous users online have reported issues with the recently-released Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone Season 3 update.

Players are encountering a variety of issues with the new Call of Duty update. An Xbox-specific problem is forcing players to download 229.84 GB of data, which will keep some fans from being able to jump in to Season 3 in a timely manner. This has been a recurring problem for Call of Duty on Xbox, and it's unfortunate that it keeps happening. A separate issue, impacting all platforms, is causing players to encounter a black screen whenever they try to launch the game or navigate a menu.

These problems are unfortunate, but the good news is that Activision is well aware of the problems currently plaguing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone. A tweet was sent out acknowledging the black screen issue, so hopefully a fix for that is released sooner rather than later. In the meantime, those that have been able to get into Modern Warfare 3 Season 3 can continue playing without issue.

Season 3 marks the end of an era when it comes to Modern Warfare 3 updates. It was confirmed that Treyarch is done working on Modern Warfare 3 Zombies as of the launch of Season 3, with the team moving on to a new project. It's speculated that Treyarch is focusing its efforts on a Zombies mode
