    Like the title says, I can't stay connected to mw3 for a whole match. I can play like 3/4 of the match. And even very rarely I can finish one. But 90% of the time it just tells me connection lost. It's getting annoying because I dont get any xp or anything thing for what I did in the game.

    I can stay connected to games like WoW and D3, even though I can't play it cuz of the horrid micro studdering, f**king blizzard. I was just wondering if there is anything I can do. My NAT says moderate and I've tryed tuning off my firewall, making firewall exceptions, turning off my router firewall, switching some other settings on my router. I have a killer wireless card so it "should" hold a gaming connection. Any ideas would help.

    P.s. I'm at work right now so I won't be able to physically test your ideas for about 11 hours or so but i figured I'd let the brainstorming start early.

    are you running steam or disk.

    this has happened a few times with me since release day.
    you would think it would happen more with me as my nat has been strict with both mw2 and mw3
    as its p2p the usual problem used to be whoever it chooses to host the game leaves before end which either picks a new host or messages lost connection.
    as its happening to most of your games im guessing its not that happening all the time.
    could be something to do with your ping

    might be worth posting on the mw3 steam forum HERE
    or contacting Steam Support
