MW3 relies heavily on official servers, progress synchronization, and the proprietary RICOCHET Anti-Cheat system , which utilizes a kernel-level driver on PC. If you attempt to launch a modified or cracked "highly compressed" version, the anti-cheat or network authentication will block the game from connecting, making it impossible to play multiplayer or access seasonal content.
