War criminal Vladimir Makarov poses the biggest danger to Captain Price and Task Force 141, as he threatens to start another World War in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The game is on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, but some may have trouble connecting to the game server.

How to Check Call of Duty: MW3 Server Status

Go to Activision Support to check if Modern Warfare 3 servers are down. You should see the server status at the top of the screen. The site has links that also allow you to check the status of a platform's network. Blizzard will let you report outages via this website so your concerns will be heard. You can also follow Activision Support on X if you prefer to reach them that way. If you’re looking for a community to give you server status updates, the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 discord and subreddit won’t let you down.

Third-party websites also make staying updated about Modern Warfare 3’s servers easy. Downdetector, for example, compiles several reports about different game issues. It lets people publicly record game problems so others can figure out why something’s not working. 

When Do Call of Duty: MW3 Servers Usually Go Down?

As annoying as it is, sometimes developers have to shut off servers. During maintenance, they usually do this for a while to make the game run smoothly for everyone. They’ll also go down when a game gets a major update or added content.

Players who have determined there aren’t any outages should do the following to try to solve connection issues.

  1. Check Your Internet Connection 
  2. Reset Router
  3. Restart MW3 Application 
  4. Clear Cache 
  5. Perform a Connection Test
