The Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone devs have offered players compensation for the major server issues that affected both games, but players aren’t impressed with the rewards being handed out.
Like all online games, Modern Warfare 3 and Warzone can occasionally run into server issues, leaving the community unable to play. That’s exactly what happened on Friday, February 23, when players were suddenly booted from matches due to a major server outage.
Both games were offline for hours, but to make matters worse, many also found their accounts had been temporarily reset, meaning their ranks, weapon levels, and Battle Pass progress had been lost.
The issues also affected Ranked Play, with players finding themselves back in Bronze 1 despite their hours of grinding. Then, the servers also went down again on February 26, albeit for a much shorter period than the previous one.
Now, the MW3 and Warzone devs have released compensation as an apology to players and to make up for the lost time.
The official Call of Duty X (formerly Twitter) account announced that the Double XP event had been extended by one day, while everyone will receive one Double XP Token for player rank, weapons, and Battle Pass.

However, the CoD community has slammed the bonuses that have been handed out, claiming they aren’t enough when you consider the size of the outage.
“One hour is laughable seeing as the game was broken for around 12 hours. May as well not bother,” said one reply to a CharlieIntel post, before another added: “Doesn’t make up for anything.”
Others pointed out that most players already have plenty of Double XP Tokens stored up, so felt that the devs should have picked something more useful for the compensation.
“Wow they do not know how to treat fans of the game, easily give the battle pass or COD points, or give skins or complete a weekly aftermarket part,” added another fan.
While server issues are inevitable in games that are always online, MW3 and Warzone players will be hoping that we don’t see an outage of this scale again for a while.
