Modern Warfare 3: Players Convinced AI Bots Are Being Placed Into Real Matches

Have you ever played a multiplayer match in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 and it felt liken you were either going up against bots or playing with one? If you do, you’re not the only one, as multiple reports from players have surfaced stating that they believe they are playing with/or against AI controlled bots!

Check out the flood of threads posted about it in the Modern Warfare 3 subreddit:

I’m convinced there are AI bots in MW3 lobbies

Actual AI bots in mw3.

Tin foil hat time… could it be true, are AI bots really in MP.

There’s even a YouTube video about it (though that doesn’t make this claim true).

Of course, these are all theories and whatnot, and we honestly cannot verify if Activision has secretly added AI bots into multiplayer matches in order to make players feel good about themselves. However, based on my personal experience playing MW3 multiplayer, I have seen a player act very oddly in a match with the way they crouched walked and how they generally acted. Like, I’ve seen newbie players and bad players in action before, but this was different in the sense that it wasn’t natural. But still, it could very well be a new player coming to grips with the controls and whatnot, no?

Have you ever played a Modern Warfare 3 match where you felt that you were playing with or against AI bots? If so, leave a comment below and let us know what happened.

I had a match yesterday and a few times in the match players were all the way in the back of the map looking like statues, one player then in another corner, another one looking into the wall
