If you’re one of the many players who logged into Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 today and found out you’re now level 1, you aren’t alone.

It seems like the loadout problems might just be with the menus themselves displaying false information. Though my experience is purely anecdotal.

One is a bug with aiming the Cruise Missile killstreak, which is one of the most popular options to use, especially in ranked play. Another is the wrong items appearing in buy stations in Warzone.
