Well, it’s finally here. COD: Modern Warfare 3 was fully released on November 10, 2023, for all major platforms except for the Switch, and so far, whatever reception it has been getting from critics and fans doesn’t look good. A short and undercooked campaign, coupled with few improvements and rushed development, has certainly resulted in MW3 being one of the worst-reviewed COD titles in recent years. But in the end, it’s COD, so more or less, it will be selling like hotcakes. After all, the game’s multiplayer is one of the most attractive aspects. And speaking of multiplayer, you might want to know how to turn off crossplay in the game, and this guide will help you with that.
