If you tend to be someone who starts a game only to get up and do other things, then chances are you’ve been kicked for inactivity. As you know, this is a common problem for Modern Warfare 3 players, especially for those who actually are active. The message reads ‘Kicked for Inactivity,’ which is meant to eliminate players who are idle so that they can’t passively earn XP. It’s definitely frustrating if you’re a player who is just trying to have fun. If you’re trying to avoid being kicked for inactivity in MW3, then read the instructions that we’ve laid out below.
How To Stop Getting Kicked For Inactivity in MW3
The easiest and most efficient way to avoid being kicked for inactivity in Modern Warfare 3 is to keep moving in the lobby. Players have even reported that standing still to reload was enough to get them kicked from the game. In our experience, it looks as though players who are in the same spot for over a minute are the ones who are most at risk.
With that in mind, you’ll also want to ensure you don’t mount your weapon too long. You can try counting it out if you really want, but we recommend putting it down if nothing crosses your path after a few seconds. Fortunately, Modern Warfare 3 is a fast-paced shooter, so you shouldn’t be cemented to one spot for too long anyway. If you’re still struggling with this for some reason, we recommend restarting MW3 and even checking the Trello page to see if there are currently any fixes for the issue.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is available on PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
