Why Can’t I Join Friend’s Party?
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is a live service title. So you may want to play with your friends. However, players have reported that trying to join a friend’s party in multiplayer mode does nothing. The problem is mainly found in the PC version of the game.
The problem is supposedly a bug, and many players have reported to face this on multiple Steam and Reddit Threads.
Possible Workaround
Mainly, the PC players are experiencing this issue while joining a friend’s party. Some players have reported that this problem is related to specific Steam or Battle.net accounts. For some players, changing accounts on the same hardware has been proven to work.
