Outages have become a big deal in the multiplayer gaming world, as millions upon millions of fans are staying busy playing their favorite games year round.

What do you think?”
It’s a small perk, but at least it’s something. So far, we haven’t heard an explanation for the outage or how widespread it was. Modern Warfare 3 outages have been rare.
Meanwhile, Bowling also tweeted, “Do not accept game invites or join Private Matches from any player you don’t know & trust in #MW3. There are dirtbags up to dirtbag things.” That seems like a reference to hackers who take over your Xbox Live account and make unauthorized purchases.
