There is growing concern among Modern Warfare 3 players that one of the game's more popular modes may soon be removed. This particular issue has especially gripped players who believe that this mode is less affected by skill-based matchmaking (SBMM), compared to other modes.
Modern Warfare 3 has been released for just several weeks now, and it's certainly safe to say that the game has been very successful. Many players have already acknowledged it as one of the most solid entries in the series over past years, with especial praise for its multiplayer functionality.
However, the launch has not been without its problems. Numerous players have expressed complaints about SBMM and its impact on lobbies. The game developers have assured players that they will begin addressing this issue in the coming weeks.
Players have been navigating around the stricter SBMM by engaging in the 10v10 mosh pit playlist. However, there are now concerns that this could be removed from the game soon. Fans are passionately appealing for the mode to stay.
Potential Removal of 10v10 Mosh Pit
Alarmingly, some players fear that the 10v10 mode could be shifted as an unexpected countdown has surfaced next to the playlist for certain players.
Players have expressed their displeasure with comments like 'Removing 10v10 will be your biggest L since pre-patch WWII', and 'If they take it out, I'm only playing zombies lmao.' Others question the need for limited-time modes and the constant rotation of game content instead of making it a permanent feature.
One player stated that in their opinion, this mode is arguably the best in the game. 'Fun, mixed lobbies at times, killstreaks feel OP, and there are some teammates trying to push the objective. Removing this will be deeply disappointing.'
Players have speculated that the larger mode offers 'reduced' SBMM because of the mix of actual players and bots that constitute the 10v10. However, there is no acknowledged proof of this claim.
The Future of 10v10
Should the 10v10 mode be removed, it is likely it will be reintroduced at a later date. However, the span of the potential waiting period remains unknown.
