This usually means you're connecting to a blacklisted host so it's actually to aid you.

Yep,it has stopped happening for now.Btw,is there any way for me to kick or ban hackers in my games? There's an awful lot of them

[The Instabilium]

There's a tool that allows you to ban people. Forgot the name but just Google it. Honestly though I feel people abuse it too much in thinking people hack while they don't (happens to me alot).

Well, that statement is not 100% accurate.
Maybe he got kicked and that’s why the message showed up...
But most people will get another message when they got kick.
Its "Server Connection Timed Out".

However "Disconnected by host" is just a message the MW3 network routine gives you when:

It could indeed be many reasons but I remembered when they patched it this was in the Release Notes:


"The latest PC patch includes added security measures to prevent our legitimate players from matching with players that are known cheaters and hackers.

Every time a legitimate player automatically quits a lobby or game due to a bad host or client they will receive a message.

For example:
"Disconnected due to bad client"

This means that we've prevented continuing play where some players had an unfair advantage (aka hackers). These players are also reported and banned when appropriate.

We believe that our legitimate players should only be matched with others that play without cheats/hacks. We realize that this may cause some issues in the short term as we begin to find and ban the bad players.

Please be patient as we let the system do its job, which is to provide you with a fair and balanced multiplayer experience as it was intended by our designers."
