Contents of the guide: This guide will provide instructions on how to turn off crossplay in MW3.

How to Deactivate Crossplay in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3

Multiple MW3 players

If you don't want to meet users from other platforms, you can turn off crossplay. Without further ado, let's take a look at how to do it:

  • Launch your MW3 and go to the multiplayer mode.
  • Now, your next step is to go to Settings. Look for the gear icon, which is located in the upper-right corner of the screen.
  • At the bottom of the list on the left side of the screen, go to the Account & Network tab.
  • And here, the first setting you will see is crossplay.

Make sure that you are not at a party or in a match because you cannot turn off this function during this time.

There is also a method to just stop hearing people from other platforms. I don't know why this is an option besides the normal mute function, but here is how you can activate/deactivate it:

  • Go to Settings.
  • Open the Account & Network tab at the very end of the list.
  • Right below the crossplay setting, you will find crossplay communication. Turn it off if it makes you uncomfortable to hear opponents from other platforms.

Unfortunately, you can not deactivate crossplay in Modern Warfare 3 on PC. Developer Sledgehammer did not give any statement on why they did not implement it in MW3.  As a PC player myself, I can understand everyone who desperately wants to deactivate crossplay on PC. Console Players have a very strong aim assist that allows easy aim and its hard to tell if someones cheating or just using aim assist. Sounds hard? Here's a video backing up my concerns:
