The biggest battles in Call of Duty 3 online right now are not between happy ga𒁏mers, but between users and an apparently bug ridden service. An online petition has sprung up calling for Activision, the game's developers, to rectify the situation by producing and making available a patch, however according to the petition, currently the software giant seems unwilling to accept there is even an issue.

The problems noted in the petition include:

• Regularly being dropped from ranked match lobbies after the timer has reached zero.
• Receiving a "Game session no longer available" message in player matches.
• Falling through the map floor in ranked matches.
• Players unable to shoot an enemy, with the crosshair failing to turn red when they move over that player even at close range, and the bullets failing to hit them.
