You can also create separate batch files to start up many game instances with only one MW3 folder.

All you do is make sure you set server name in batch file using sv_hostname <name> along with other settings, also make a separate default.dsp file that will contain maps/rotations/gametye etc. Change the maprotation_default to the new dsp name you made.

example of my 3 servers running of one instance of MW3

server 1:
C:\Program Files (x86)\call of duty modern warfare 3\iw5mp_server.exe +set dedicated 2 +seta sv_allowClientConsole "1" +set nep_port 27015 +set net_authPort 8766 +seta net_masterServerPort 27016 +seta rcon_password "******" +seta sv_privatePassword "******" +set sv_hostname "whatever" +set sv_maprotation default +start_map_rotate

server 2:
C:\Program Files (x86)\call of duty modern warfare 3\iw5mp_server.exe +set dedicated 2 +seta sv_allowClientConsole "1" +set nep_port 27017 +set net_authPort 8766 +seta net_masterServerPort 27018 +seta rcon_password "******" +seta sv_privatePassword "******" +set sv_hostname "whatever" +set sv_maprotation default1 +start_map_rotate

server 3:
C:\Program Files (x86)\call of duty modern warfare 3\iw5mp_server.exe +set dedicated 2 +seta sv_allowClientConsole "1" +set nep_port 27019 +set net_authPort 8766 +seta net_masterServerPort 27020 +seta rcon_password "******" +seta sv_privatePassword "******" +set sv_hostname "whatever" +set sv_maprotation default2 +start_map_rotate

These will all use the same addons/plugins so you do not need to double everything up and use up disk space.

Hope it is helpful
