The new Call of Duty, Modern Warfare 3, was released on Friday, and already multiple maps have been pulled from the game's multiplayer suite after players en masse were gunned down thanks to some truly miserable spawn points.
The primary culprit was the map Quarry, which, when played in the Hardpoint game mode, would endlessly respawn players in the same spot, making them easy prey for the ruthless opposing team. Rundown and Scrapyard have also been temporarily removed for the same reasons, as well as Karachi being pulled from the Cutthroat playlist, where Activision says it will "work to resolve an issue causing a player to spawn alongside enemies".
A report out of Bloomberg revealed that MW3 was developed in just half the time normally allotted to a mainline title in the long-running series. Revel in the misery of others in the clips showcasing the carnage below (thanks, IGN):

What a gigantic mess this has been. Really stinks that Sony paid to market this release and to launch the new model with this crap bundled in.
And somehow it will still be the top selling game this year because gamers are dumb
Glad i have not bothered with this years expansion. Just for once i'd like to see a call of duty game with much larger maps for team death match etc. I really like the invasion maps as the scope for much mote tactical play was a much needed breath of fresh air..
Shame it'll make millions despite its obvious flaws.
Not having much interest in military shooters to begin with, I've never bought any COD games. I'd like to think even if I was into them, I'd refuse to buy this game. Sadly, if Pokemon gen 9 taught me anything it's that consumers are morons.
This looks exactly the same as the one COD game I bought 10 years ago, only now it's buggy. Why are people still buying these if it's literally the same game, but worse?
What was fun in many PvP fantasy games now comes to modern. Never gets old.
