A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 player encounters a frustrating bug in the Zombie game mode that suddenly teleports them to their death.
Highlights
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies players are dying unexpectedly due to a frustrating bug that teleports them out of bounds.
The bug occurs when players are firing at zombies and suddenly get teleported, leaving them with only ten seconds to return before being killed.
The bug affects multiple players and may be related to poor connection and the complexity of the game's massive maps. A future patch may resolve the issue.
A Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies player found a frustrating bug that teleported them to their death. There are a lot of ways that Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 players can die in the Zombies mode, but this may be one of the least expected ones.
Similar to many of its predecessors, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 includes the Zombies game mode. While Zombies are traditionally a Treyarch Call of Duty feature, Sledgehammer Games had a unique take on the mode for the latest title. Like the Modern Warfare 3 Campaign, Zombies takes place on a massive map that resembles one found in Warzone. The huge space provides a range of ways for Zombies fans to play the game, and it dwarfs TranZit from Black Ops 2. This Call of Duty Zombies fan came across a bug that resulted in an untimely death after being suddenly teleported.
Reddit user GarryH97 recently shared a Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 Zombies clip highlighting an unfortunate bug. The clip begins with the player running along the border of the Exclusion Zone and killing a small group of zombies with a Carbon Fate blueprint. The Modern Warfare 3 Vault Edition exclusive AMR9 shoots explosive rounds at the zombies, causing instant deaths. After killing seven zombies, the player is teleported out of bounds by a bug that seemingly made them fire at random just beforehand. As the player was transported out of the map, they only had ten seconds to return to the combat area. Having no recourse, the soldier is killed before they're able to accomplish the Prestige Mastery challenge they were working on.
Despite the countdown never stopping, the video shows GarryH97 is able to return to the Modern Warfare 3 Zombies map, but their efforts are fruitless. As they reach their prior area, they're transported back out of bounds, resulting in an inevitable death. It's currently unclear if or how the Zombies fan could've escaped dying once they were teleported out of the combat area. GarryH97 isn't alone in experiencing this game-ending bug, as other players have expressed similar stories. Because the player was lagging, their poor connection may have negatively impacted their gameplay.
While there are a handful of bugs in the latest Call of Duty, this Zombies one may be responsible for ending multiple late-game matches. The massive maps for Campaign and Warzone have also had bugs like this, which suggests the map size adds more complexity to the back end. As Activision continues to update Modern Warfare 3, this bug may be resolved in a future patch.
