Members of the MW3 community praised Sledgehammer Games for announcing that they will be testing lobbies that will not disband.
Sledgehammer Games has been transparent with community members regarding the studio’s plan for MW3. During the first few weeks of the game, the developers implemented updates to address enemy visibility, inconsistent spawning, and tactical sprint lag.
On top of that, the developers joined COD content creator Repullze on the stream to answer hard-hitting questions, such as revealing the game’s prestige system. To also ensure that community members’ voices are heard, MW3 features an experimental playlist to test features before they go live in multiplayer.

More recently, Sledgehammer Games hosted a Q&A session on Reddit and answered other pressing questions. The team did not cover all the topics presented, but finally responded to the long-awaited prayers to eliminate the dissolving pressure groups.
MW3 Developers Address Concerns About Disbanding Lobby
After a multiplayer match in MW3 ends, the lobby dissolves and users enter a new match with a different group of players. Previously, classic COD titles kept lobbies together, adding an extra element of community building as players met new friends and rivals.

COD fans have been begging for the feature to be removed since COD Vanguard, and their complaints have fallen on deaf ears so far.
On November 20, Sledgehammer Games announced: “In a future game update, we will test lobbies that do not dissolve with a cohort of players to determine the performance of such a change. If these tests go well, we will explore an implementation for all players.”

One player responded: “Okay, now we are going in the right direction. Hopefully this comes sooner rather than later.”
A second user added: “Thank you from the entire community.”
To drive home the point, a third player relived the glory days and argued: “Squads facing each other, back-to-back games. I’m here for it.”
Sledgehammer Games did not tell players when they should expect the update. But this will surely be music to the ears of MW3 fans who waited a long time for this announcement.
