It appears that matchmaking for older Call of Duty games, including Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Modern Warfare 2, and Modern Warfare 3, has been fixed on Xbox 360. Previously, Xbox 360 players were unable to load into matches, despite the active communities across each game.
This comes by way of a tweet from Zekco Trickshots, who shared a video featuring the matchmaking for older Call of Duty games functioning properly. In the video, Zekco can be seen loading into matches across all three games in the original Modern Warfare trilogy with no problems.

Before today, players attempting to load into matches on older Xbox 360 Call of Duty games were never able to launch into a game due to seemingly a lack of players. However, it only takes around eight players to load into certain match types, so there was something clearly wrong with the matchmaking prior to today’s surprise fix.
