Modern Warfare 3 Dev Error 12502 – Latest Update Bugs Offline Multiplayer

Dev errors can be a real pain; thankfully, they have not impacted MW3 as much as they did in MW2, but still, they pop up from time to time for players to ruin the gaming experience. The error message is usually vague and does not point to any specific issue, which makes solving these errors that much harder. A new dev error has popped up that’s running users’ experience. Here is what the support says you need to do.
