Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 is best played with friends, but for certain reasons, if you prefer to go solo without being noticed online, you can choose to appear offline. This is especially useful when you want to play with specific squads without alerting your other friends or when you want to grind your account level, weapon levels, or complete missions alone.
When you're offline, you won't appear in your friends' lists while playing the game, allowing you to enjoy your solo sessions. In this article, we will try to provide a comprehensive guide on how to appear offline in Modern Warfare 3 across all platforms.
Procedure to appear offline in Modern Warfare 3
In Modern Warfare 3, there's no built-in option to appear offline. When your friends launch the game and check the Social option, they will see you online if you have the game open. However, players often rely on their platform's interface to see who's playing rather than opening the game specifically.
