Since launch some PlayStation 3 owners have been complaining that their rank on Call of Duty Modern Warfare 3 had dropped costing them hours of XP after simply restarting their game.

Now it seems Infinity Ward has finally realised the problem and has set out to solve the problem although do admit they can do nothing about the ranks that have been lost. Talking on the social networking website Twitter commented that the reason behind the loss of rank is “if you common error out or lose connection, you stop writing stats to the server.”

Unfortunately he went onto add that “there is no way to get what you lost back, but if you notice an error while playing ever, reboot your PS3 before playing more.” Now Infinity Ward knows about the issue hopefully it will be dealt with swiftly in a patch.
