Summary
Some unpleasant members of the gaming community are ruining the fun for others by screwing up contracts inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Zombies matches. Since launching last November, the latest iteration of the long running shooter series has received a lukewarm response from fans and critics. Despite this disappointing reception, however, the game’s zombies mode has arguably stood out as a bright spot with aCall of Dutyexec claimingModern Warfare 3’sZombies is the highest rated “third mode” in years.
Veterans ofCall of Dutyand theModern Warfareseries are likely familiar with past Zombies modes and have likely been spending the past few months becoming acquainted with the new version of post-apocalyptic gameplay. This time around, Zombies mode is taking some lessons fromWarzone’sDMZ, featuring larger maps, exfiltration mechanics, as well as missions and contracts to complete. The largelist ofCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Zombies contractsis undoubtedly a big draw for many fans and keeps matches fresh and interesting over numerous playthroughs. Some trolls, however, are now setting out to spoil this element of the game for others.
On Reddit, user SaladOfReasons has shared a video of a recent Zombies match inCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3which shows another player using a grenade launcher to deliberately destroy cargo that needed to be recovered for a contract. The clip makes it very clear that this is no accident, with the player firing several rounds in a row directly at the vehicle carrying the cargo as soon as a garage door is opened. The result is that the contract fails as soon as it begins with nothing to show for the effort the other players took to get to the cargo in the first place.
Sadly, gamers tend to be familiar with trolls and griefing behavior, but this level of pettiness still managed to shock other Redditors. The comments to the post are full of criticism of these actions and speculation about why someone would do something so mean and nasty unprovoked. Some more helpful fans also chimed in with suggestions for how to prevent similar trolling in the future.
Of course, trolls and griefers are a minority in the gaming community and some players can take comfort in knowing that many of their fellow fans are kind and positive people. For example, aCall of Duty: Modern Warfare 3Zombies player went to great lengths to save an AFK player, which shows the camaraderie and goodwill that can be found online. Still, the bad apples can often stand out and ruin a good time for everyone else when they turn up.

Operators will want to be careful who they trust and how they approach cargo going forward.
