MW3 players slam AFK bots for \u201cruining\u201d their lobbies Activision BlizzardCall of Duty: MW3 players are shocked by how many AFK bots they keep encountering while playing various game modes. AFK bots, or away from keyboard players, have long been an issue in Call of Duty titles. They\u2019re typically used as a means for farming XP in modes without a player actually having to participate in the in-game action. Some people like to speed up the XP grind by employing this often frowned-upon technique. Meanwhile, others long for the day when AFK bots will finally be removed in full. Such talk didn\u2019t stop with the recent release of Modern Warfare 3. In fact, players seem shocked by how often they\u2019re running into AFK bots in lobbies. MW3 players say AFK bots are \u201cruining\u201d game lobbies As previously mentioned, AFK bots are far from a new problem in the world of Call of Duty. However, fans seem to have noticed an uptick in the number of bots crowding game lobbies. One player asked fellow users in a recent Reddit post, \u201canybody else noticed an insane amount of players AFK on gunfight?\u201d A couple of people replied that they had noticed the issue, with one calling it \u201cannoying af.\u201d Others argued that it\u2019s likely people \u201cAFK\u2019ing the battlepass.\u201d And someone else noted that the original poster should probably take advantage of lobbies like this, since they can be good for knocking out MW3\u2019s camo challenges. In a separate Reddit thread, an MW3 player shared footage of half a dozen AFK bots running around a concentrated area and shooting at the ground. \u201cAFK bots ruining lobbies,\u201d the caption read. The user added, \u201cNot really sure how this is even a thing.\u201d While some said they\u2019ve yet to run across this many bots, others argued they\u2019re likely accounts \u201ccreated to boost and sell.\u201d Still, some tend to believe that the divisive skill-based matchmaking is at fault. In either case, it would seem Call of Duty\u2019s AFK bot problem isn\u2019t going anywhere anytime soon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
