Developers accommodated these players by adding features like crossplay. This way, players can get into lobbies faster. But is it possible to turn off crossplay in Modern Warfare 3?

There are plenty of valid reasons to turn off crossplay in Modern Warfare 3. Although it will likely slow down the time players will find lobbies, it prevents mismatching platforms from playing against each other. Most notably, it prevents PC players from playing Modern Warfare 3 with console players.

PC players will have an easier time playing against console players due to how much clunkier it is to play an FPS game on a console. So in Modern Warfare 3, PC players have a natural advantage over console players. Turning off crossplay will help make the game easier. It is also notoriously easier to get cheats turned on with PC platforms as well. The number of cheaters console players will face in Modern Warfare 3 will decrease with crossplay turned off.
