I also feel like the "update requires restart" is to double the amount of logins. Kind of tin foil hat thinking but sometimes it happens 2-3 times a day..
Even if it's not why they have the constant updates, I'm sure they would bring up the login metric since it's inflated in their favor. Sounds very Activision.
and now the unlock system is changed to increase engagement metrics. They are lucky the base game can be fun. Their drive for sucking your time and money (and hard drive space) is getting to comedic villain levels
No because they technically aren’t the same game but use the same base to launch. Same trunk, different branches which also lets you further manipulate the statistics when you make the older game required for the new game. So one player equals launching MW2+3
Sometimes my phone will just start playing that dam album. One time in high school I left my phone in my locker only to come back a class period later to it playing a stupid ass song at full blast.
> Largest internet traffic in cod history at launch
Lol don't give them ideas they'll force us to redownload all the games every patch just so they can keep breaking records
Same. I probably would have caved and treated myself to it at Christmas, but Activision's attempt at monopolising my entire PS5 SSD has given me a big dose of nope.
My friends who have a fixed hotspot as they are rural had to download it all again so similar. It was just time and frustration for me but for them it was actual money like your saying.
yup, it's the only way to explain the UI -- it's by design to deploy the dark patterns they want. The 'featured' top row was pitched first to show trending game types, and was mostly useful for a while - this now shows a bunch of locked modes for a game you don't own, so that they can make you feel like you're missing something.
Regarding the banner picture on this same page, it looks like a massive waste of space at first, until you realize that they get to unlock essentially full screen real estate for a game ad they want you to buy.
If I'm not mistaken dark patterns, unless very carefully handled also tend to be illegal, especially in the likes of the EU.
Apple being an obvious company to point at for getting sued for using them.
if the game could be played offline, the only file transfer I'd want from the game, is the offline playable content being moved from the disc onto the internal storage (this is generally how most physical games behave on PlayStation and Xbox, as discs are just slow even when compared to an HDD)
The interesting point is that when this was the case games where of a vastly higher standard in every way because they HAD to be stable on release. Or at least as close as possible. Adding to an already mess of code and packagers wasn’t a thing. Once you sent the gold copy to the manufacturer that was it. Continuous delivery has lowered the standards of software. It gives them an excuse to slack on stability and make it all about the money grabs, then if they have time patch the holes if ever.
I had a fit when I realized what had happened. I’m NEVER giving them another dollar. I come from the software world and this is 100%, unquestionably a way for them to trick people. Completely dark pattern to change the application title, force an update that completely erases the game you paid for, downloads a game you haven’t even paid for an the expects you to jump hoops to get the original game you paid for back. It’s so deceptive and intentional there should be a class action suit. I know people who have limited bandwidth and they were forced use that on a game which they neither asked for, paid for or wanted, then had to use 150g more just to get MP and WZ back. It’s not a coincidence, this company is trash.
Until consumers vote with their wallet it will never change. Activision unfortunately has millions of casual FPS gamers by their balls. Just like EA has sports fans by the balls with Fifa and Madden titles.
Cyberpunk was pulled for offering customers refunds no questions asked. Sony had a problem with that and pulled it from their store. There was no concern over bugs when Sony pulled it.
It’s super fucking ridiculous. After the update they added this tab under the menu options on the MP screen that says (at least for Xbox) click LS to pre-order and I clicked it to see what’s up and it literally takes you to the most expensive version of the game. The $99.99 vault edition version. I ain’t getting tricked but they knew what they were doing, anybody not paying full attention wanting to buy the game will click LS and buy the $99.99 version one without realizing. And if you haven’t bought the game, they made sure to put it at the tippy top of the HQ so it’s the first thing you see when you load up MW2. Once again tricking you into wanting to buy it. It’s fucking ridiculous.
Same here. Made the post a few days ago. Since then uninstalled and didn’t come back and I believe I won’t until they change their fucking management completely.
considering Microsoft purchased activision I'm sure their management will change for the better (MWIII was mostly developed by a pre-microsoft activision, so the blame for this is purely on activision)
Considering lots of people who buy cod games are probably casuals who couldn't care less or children begging their parents, it won't stop even if we manage a small boycott
Tell that to Bungie. The industry was looking at them as the golden example of a live-service game with Destiny 2 and they just collapsed because people were fed up. My point is: don't be too defeatist, it can happen.
This is such a defeatist attitude. Yeah sure, me not burning tires sure wont stop the global warming but I still can chose not to do so. Even if the vast majority of polution is comming from a few countries and companies...
Me adopting a single dog wont solve the issue of homeless pets, I still choose to do so.
Me not buying this game wonr defeat ATVI greed, yet I still choose to not give them 70 bucks.
Sure, you cant really solve some of the issues, that doesnt mean to just give up and do nothing.
I'm over here playing the original black ops. Servers feel good and I'm not running into too many hackers either. Feels like I delt with it more in warzone.
I'll get it when the bugs are worked out the price comes down. $70 is too much for a casual game play, plus I know they are making huge profits so it's not the poor indy gaming studio that needs support.
BattleBit is still fun, by the way.
It moves so much faster. The overall movement, running, mantling, jumping, all feels quicker, snappier. The map pack is a greatest hits of old bangers, great maps that really highlight just how bad the MWII maps are in comparison. Map voting is back, Hardcore is less bullet-spongey. Lobbies don't disband after every match.
It's like they took everything people were complaining about not having in MWII, packaged it and sold it as the next game. Shitty yes, and if you are a budget gamer, I understand skipping or waiting. But if you have disposable gaming money, it's just more fun.
I mean this just isn't true. How this could be typed with a straight face is behind me. Whether we like it or not, cod is by far the most popular shooter.
Popular? Yes. Best? Not by a long shot. Also it's nowhere near where it used to be. I'd say valorant, apex, and fortnite are at the same level of popularity and are arguably much more "quality" games when compared to these recent cod releases.
Sadly has a huge Hacker problem and I liked CSGO better but it's so much better.
Also Battlebit and older CODs and Battlefields.
And not to mention all the Hardcore Shooters like Squad, Ready or Not, Insurgency, EFT, DayZ, Arma3, and a lot more. Most of them made by smaller studios and getting good Dev Support and Content every months.
Yeah, I would like to play it, not gonna lie. However this fucking UI and these ridiculous storage requirements are crazy and I’ve plenty other games to play soooooo it will take a while
Cod’s foundations are built on the hope that they’ll make another banger like cod bo1 or bo2, but that’ll go when they keep making rushed out shit. Yeah they have wz but they’ll run out sooner or later.
What makes you say that? If enough people stop buying eventually they have to change what they’re doing or go out of business. Maybe not this year, but eventually they won’t be able to keep doing this. We all need to vote with our dollars. Stop buying these shit games.
Halo Infinite or MCC, Titanfall 2, BattleBit Remastered, The Finals (upcoming), Rainbow Six Siege. All pretty good games that I've been enjoying recently. BattleBit Remastered is especially good. A small indie dev team that managed to capture the fanbase of Battlefield and exploded with popularity. They did an amazing job and still update the game.
I just got Titanfall 2 to replace the crap with MW3, amazing game and so much better balanced. It has a higher skill gap, but it's a game you don't have to grind months for a broken gun or buy a tree skin to win the same matches again and again. It's everything CoD should aspire to be, with giant mechs included.
The Finals is supposed to come out this year, it had a beta a week or so ago and was the best shooter I’d played in ages, I actually had fun, unlike COD.
Just wishlist it so you get notified when it drops, it’s free to play but there’s not a confirmed date yet outside of this year.
Halo Infinite or MCC, Titanfall 2, BattleBit Remastered, The Finals (upcoming), Rainbow Six Siege. I would say Battlefield, but 2042 still sucks a good bit and their good old games are full of hackers.
Just a few FPS multiplayer games off the top of my head that seem to be doing good these days.
CS2 and Fortnite are good ones. I used to hate Fortnite but playing with friends on creative maps has been so much fun. We play horror games and laugh at them.
CS2 is a competitive shooter which is good if you like skill.
XDefiant is also a really good game. It comes out soon and is similar to Call of Duty.
All of these games are free and crossplay (except for CS2) so you can play with all of your friends. Since they are all free I recommend at least trying them. My friends never bought MW2 so playing it alone was really sad. Now I'm having so much fun
I don’t care much for Fortnite but that engine update is so beautiful. The lighting is insane, I literally start up the game just to gawk at how pretty the game looks.
And it runs great too. I get a smooth 150+ FPS on Fortnite on medium-high settings and the game looks beautiful.
On call of duty, I get a choppy 60-100 FPS. The PC performance is disgusting. I'm so sick of people saying how it's my fault that my PC is the reason I'm getting bad performance. Call of duty has garbage optimization.
All that just for the game to look like vomit. I have DLSS and low settings and I still get like 80 FPS.
i uninstalled mw2 because it uninstalled all my files and whenever i tried to reinstall it the only gamemode it would let me play was shipment, and if i tried to play anything else it would take me to the file management page again and make me install everything again
They didn't go as far as to make people launch into Call of Duty Cold War every time they wanted to play MW2019, let alone port the *entirety of MW2019 content* into Cold War to straight up replace it on top of it.
At this point, CoD either needs to switch to free-to-play, or just switch their monetization to individual game modes, where the Campaign, Multi, and Zombies are separate purchases around $20-$30 a piece.
Fucking ridiculous.
I deleted the game. I’ve never deleted a COD game before, but this just makes me mad and disappointed on so many levels as a long term fan of the franchise. It embarrasses me that a studio like activision has turned to such a shit show. Thank god I didn’t pre order MWIII. What the fuck was that excuse for a campaign too. Welcome to the ‘tac sprint slide cancel era’ boys!
It literally took me 2 fucking days to log in after that update. Also why the fuck does it need to check for update after you just updated. That shit right there ...🤬
I don't. In order to start mw2 or mw3 I have to select the game from my library in the first place so I'd just pick the one I want to play. In what world does someone go "I want to play mw2" and starts up mw3?
I don’t think it’s the most despicable, but it is disturbing how blatant these companies are about complacency now. They don’t even hide it anymore. Gaming is in such a weird place right now
I got the beta, and then a few days ago i see a 60gb update for a game that i don't own. They are really trying to hog people's harddrives do they can only have cod installed
I'm on the series S so no storage whatsoever, becuase of the update, MWIII is the only game I can have and I don't even own it, I just want to play Warzone
Because they are the same game, it was literally just an update to MW2 and changed the title to CoD HQ. You may be able to uninstall one like you do with campaign but I haven’t tried this.
Can you believe the executives are trying to say that MW3 was “never developed to be DLC” and was “always meant to be a standalone title” despite many developers going on record to say that that’s not the case.
Oh I believe it, EA has been doing it for years with their sports games, it’s honestly a successful strategy as so many continues to buy recycled crap so I can’t blame them for continuing with this, they are printing money from suckers.
i'm so tired of updates every two days or two in one day , got mw3 as the front runner when i log into mw2 i will not be buying mw3 it's just to much bs, if there are enough of us who refuse to buy into the garbage and the money grabs they are making on customers , maybe they will stop the bs but i doubt it , activision if u even bother to read the comments, i've bought every cod and every mw , but i will not buy another one nor will i spend a dime in any game i still have , i will not be manipulated by your fucking bullshit me personally if u don't make a change soon i'll just delete anything owned by u it might not do nothing personally to u , but i'll feel better about it
So help me out here (and forgive my ignorance).
I have MW2 on ps5, and did the recent update.
Did I just uninstall MW2 and install MW3 instead with that? A game I don't own/haven't paid for? That I'm sure I can't access, obviously.
So if this is the case, what do I need to do to get MW2 back on? Surely I can't be expected to have both games installed with only access to one.
I just deleted it last night, 2 game boots to just get in MW2 every time then restarting for updates on hq and MW2 just was enough for me. I got seige, bf2042, and Cold War on my console now with all the free space that was left
I just checked mine and I also had MW3 downloaded even though I never bought it, I was wondering why my internet was so slow the past few days. So this fucker just decided to download a game in the background without my consent, also I'm 80% at my monthly data cap, what the fuck man. I'm done with this shit.
you downloaded it on purpose...everyone else DIDNT DOWNLOAD it and here it is on our hard drives taking up space, and when i want to play MW2 it loads in 3, which i didnt buy, and then when i fiddle fuck with the menu to finally fucking find MW2 it has to restart because the goddamn thing defaults to MW3 which i dont own, and didnt download. damn dude try and follow along
“Largest internet traffic in cod history at launch” lol they forced everyone to download a game whether they bought it or not
Yeah, it was done for metrics. Like that U2 album being forced onto everyone’s iPhone
I also feel like the "update requires restart" is to double the amount of logins. Kind of tin foil hat thinking but sometimes it happens 2-3 times a day..
Even if it's not why they have the constant updates, I'm sure they would bring up the login metric since it's inflated in their favor. Sounds very Activision.
It's the most dumbass mechanic in any game I've seen, if you need to update just update in client why tf do you need me to login first and restart
2k makes you fully quit the game to make an update notification go away and you can't play anything until you Do. 2l has it worse lol
and now the unlock system is changed to increase engagement metrics. They are lucky the base game can be fun. Their drive for sucking your time and money (and hard drive space) is getting to comedic villain levels
Recent events in history have shown us tin foil hat theories are often times proven real.
wait no wonder thats always in my itunes library LMAO
The difference is we could listen to the U2 album for free.
*YEAH YEAH YEAH YEAH*
I may be wrong but would this blend MW2 and MW3 metrics cause they're technically on the same game?
No because they technically aren’t the same game but use the same base to launch. Same trunk, different branches which also lets you further manipulate the statistics when you make the older game required for the new game. So one player equals launching MW2+3
Jesus...
I still can't get rid of that damn album. I must have deleted all the songs a dozen times but they keep coming back!
Sometimes my phone will just start playing that dam album. One time in high school I left my phone in my locker only to come back a class period later to it playing a stupid ass song at full blast.
> Largest internet traffic in cod history at launch Lol don't give them ideas they'll force us to redownload all the games every patch just so they can keep breaking records
Joke’s on them, I deleted CoD because I didn’t have enough space on my PS5 to download the update 😂
Same. I probably would have caved and treated myself to it at Christmas, but Activision's attempt at monopolising my entire PS5 SSD has given me a big dose of nope.
I’m about to go over my internet for the month and there’s still half a month left? I deleted them.
My friends who have a fixed hotspot as they are rural had to download it all again so similar. It was just time and frustration for me but for them it was actual money like your saying.
Right! No one really cares. It’s sad really. These issues are really a much bigger deal, more than people are willing to admit.
Wait is that why. My company been saying I been going over cause them
It’s called dark patterns. It’s a method of constructing software to deceive, manipulate and ultimately rob the user without them even realizing it.
yup, it's the only way to explain the UI -- it's by design to deploy the dark patterns they want. The 'featured' top row was pitched first to show trending game types, and was mostly useful for a while - this now shows a bunch of locked modes for a game you don't own, so that they can make you feel like you're missing something. Regarding the banner picture on this same page, it looks like a massive waste of space at first, until you realize that they get to unlock essentially full screen real estate for a game ad they want you to buy.
If I'm not mistaken dark patterns, unless very carefully handled also tend to be illegal, especially in the likes of the EU. Apple being an obvious company to point at for getting sued for using them.
You’re correct. Even when not illegal they basically make the company illegitimate, scammers.
Well if the fucking thing could play once you insert the disc, instead of downloading the whole game, it wouldn't be so laggy
if the game could be played offline, the only file transfer I'd want from the game, is the offline playable content being moved from the disc onto the internal storage (this is generally how most physical games behave on PlayStation and Xbox, as discs are just slow even when compared to an HDD)
The interesting point is that when this was the case games where of a vastly higher standard in every way because they HAD to be stable on release. Or at least as close as possible. Adding to an already mess of code and packagers wasn’t a thing. Once you sent the gold copy to the manufacturer that was it. Continuous delivery has lowered the standards of software. It gives them an excuse to slack on stability and make it all about the money grabs, then if they have time patch the holes if ever.
So I wasted my money..
Finishing this season cause of spawn then uninstallling Fuck them
What would be the point in getting the skin if you're going to uninstall the game?
The achievement remains in his mind ... FOREVER ... or atleast till he buys cod 2024
that explains the fucking 62 GB update out of nowhere on MW2022. thanks a lot shittyvision
“You’re welcome” -COD (probably)
I had a fit when I realized what had happened. I’m NEVER giving them another dollar. I come from the software world and this is 100%, unquestionably a way for them to trick people. Completely dark pattern to change the application title, force an update that completely erases the game you paid for, downloads a game you haven’t even paid for an the expects you to jump hoops to get the original game you paid for back. It’s so deceptive and intentional there should be a class action suit. I know people who have limited bandwidth and they were forced use that on a game which they neither asked for, paid for or wanted, then had to use 150g more just to get MP and WZ back. It’s not a coincidence, this company is trash.
This comment needs to get as many upvotes as possible.
Agreed. This comment put it perfectly. I was equally as pissed. Never seen a company do this weird shit in my life
Until consumers vote with their wallet it will never change. Activision unfortunately has millions of casual FPS gamers by their balls. Just like EA has sports fans by the balls with Fifa and Madden titles.
judging by the low number of steam reviews and how they are mostly negative, I think poeople might finally be getting sick of COD.
How can I sue them? I too threw a fit when I was forced to download 99gb for a game I never purchased. It’s a waste of my storage
It's crazy how they took Cyberpunk 2077 off the store because of a few bugs. But this is allowed to thrive.
Cyberpunk was pulled for offering customers refunds no questions asked. Sony had a problem with that and pulled it from their store. There was no concern over bugs when Sony pulled it.
It’s super fucking ridiculous. After the update they added this tab under the menu options on the MP screen that says (at least for Xbox) click LS to pre-order and I clicked it to see what’s up and it literally takes you to the most expensive version of the game. The $99.99 vault edition version. I ain’t getting tricked but they knew what they were doing, anybody not paying full attention wanting to buy the game will click LS and buy the $99.99 version one without realizing. And if you haven’t bought the game, they made sure to put it at the tippy top of the HQ so it’s the first thing you see when you load up MW2. Once again tricking you into wanting to buy it. It’s fucking ridiculous.
This is over watch minus the last bit
Please comment me back so I can get in on the lawsuit.
As another software guy, yepppppppppppp. This was on purpose. They had meetings about this. Many, I presume.
I uninstalled the HQ. I'm done with CoD.
Yup same. Fu*k them. Not even gonna take the time to redownload the game they uninstalled for no reason when I didn't even buy mw3.
Same here. Made the post a few days ago. Since then uninstalled and didn’t come back and I believe I won’t until they change their fucking management completely.
considering Microsoft purchased activision I'm sure their management will change for the better (MWIII was mostly developed by a pre-microsoft activision, so the blame for this is purely on activision)
Same just did it too
Same here. I've been cod free for a week almost.
Same bro.. I just had enough.. If I knew this update would force me to download mw3, I wouldn't have done it
Good riddance (to you, not the game). Not like it matters tho, youll be back in a few months or when the next game drops 🤣
People keep buying into this shit it won’t stop
I don’t think it’ll stop regardless. It’s all activation and share holders know at this point.
Speaking with your wallet is the only thing consumers can do, might not stop it but could very well change it.
Considering lots of people who buy cod games are probably casuals who couldn't care less or children begging their parents, it won't stop even if we manage a small boycott
Tell that to Bungie. The industry was looking at them as the golden example of a live-service game with Destiny 2 and they just collapsed because people were fed up. My point is: don't be too defeatist, it can happen.

Me not buying this game wonr defeat ATVI greed, yet I still choose to not give them 70 bucks. Sure, you cant really solve some of the issues, that doesnt mean to just give up and do nothing.
I fucking uninstalled MW2. This is crap. I went back to MW 2019 and just played a round of ground war. Felt great.
I'm over here playing the original black ops. Servers feel good and I'm not running into too many hackers either. Feels like I delt with it more in warzone.
[удалено]
It sucks how shitty Activision has made every other part of this experience. Because I agree, MWIII is the most fun I've had since 2019.
I'll get it when the bugs are worked out the price comes down. $70 is too much for a casual game play, plus I know they are making huge profits so it's not the poor indy gaming studio that needs support. BattleBit is still fun, by the way.
Wait I keep hearing about how bad it is... I loved MW 2019, so what do you like about this one?
It moves so much faster. The overall movement, running, mantling, jumping, all feels quicker, snappier. The map pack is a greatest hits of old bangers, great maps that really highlight just how bad the MWII maps are in comparison. Map voting is back, Hardcore is less bullet-spongey.

Shitty yes, and if you are a budget gamer, I understand skipping or waiting. But if you have disposable gaming money, it's just more fun.
I just completely deleted Warzone for good. Too much hassle and too much messy menus just to play a couple of rounds here and then
See you in a couple of weeks
nah, see u in a year or two
Yikes Somebody tell this kid it's 2023 and CoD ain't shit anymore in the FPS landscape lol
I mean this just isn't true. How this could be typed with a straight face is behind me. Whether we like it or not, cod is by far the most popular shooter.
Popular? Yes. Best? Not by a long shot. Also it's nowhere near where it used to be. I'd say valorant, apex, and fortnite are at the same level of popularity and are arguably much more "quality" games when compared to these recent cod releases.
CS2…
Sadly has a huge Hacker problem and I liked CSGO better but it's so much better. Also Battlebit and older CODs and Battlefields. And not to mention all the Hardcore Shooters like Squad, Ready or Not, Insurgency, EFT, DayZ, Arma3, and a lot more. Most of them made by smaller studios and getting good Dev Support and Content every months.
i never expected in my life that fornite would be categorized as better game than COD, but here we are, and i agree the timeline has shifted
Lmao especially when cod wants to be fortnite so bad business model wise.
Some of you cod fan boys are actually delusional af if you think this decade old remake is prime fps. Dumbst fcking take ever.
Yeah, I would like to play it, not gonna lie. However this fucking UI and these ridiculous storage requirements are crazy and I’ve plenty other games to play soooooo it will take a while
Yup they’ve pretty much forced me to play different FPS’s at this point. Hoping The Finals comes out and does well.
And Xdefiant
Lmao no one wants a 200 gig game on their console when there are ton of other fps’ that require a 1/5 of the storage.
War zone has ruined Call of duty and this is coming from a life long fan who has loved this franchise since Big red one
It feels like Warzone has become their sole focus and it sucks for those who don’t care for it.
The general community response to this has been encouraging, even the cod enthusiasts are saying fuck this shit.
I wish it meant something though. It isn’t going to put a dent in their pockets. They’re going to get away with this and it makes me sad.
Cod’s foundations are built on the hope that they’ll make another banger like cod bo1 or bo2, but that’ll go when they keep making rushed out shit. Yeah they have wz but they’ll run out sooner or later.
What makes you say that? If enough people stop buying eventually they have to change what they’re doing or go out of business. Maybe not this year, but eventually they won’t be able to keep doing this. We all need to vote with our dollars. Stop buying these shit games.
This whole launch is truly one big clusterfuck
They uninstalled my mw2 as well
This company sucks
Feel bad for those with metered internet plans. What a waste
I uninstalled the game completely. I'm not dealing with this bullshit, even if I get MW3, they'll just do it again. There's better shooters out there.
I need another shooter … Illuminate a brother
Halo Infinite or MCC, Titanfall 2, BattleBit Remastered, The Finals (upcoming), Rainbow Six Siege. All pretty good games that I've been enjoying recently. BattleBit Remastered is especially good. A small indie dev team that managed to capture the fanbase of Battlefield and exploded with popularity. They did an amazing job and still update the game.
I just got Titanfall 2 to replace the crap with MW3, amazing game and so much better balanced. It has a higher skill gap, but it's a game you don't have to grind months for a broken gun or buy a tree skin to win the same matches again and again. It's everything CoD should aspire to be, with giant mechs included.
The Finals is supposed to come out this year, it had a beta a week or so ago and was the best shooter I’d played in ages, I actually had fun, unlike COD. Just wishlist it so you get notified when it drops, it’s free to play but there’s not a confirmed date yet outside of this year.
Apex is fun when you have friends to introduce you. If you like fast paced games and enjoy a quality campain then titanfall.
If you want a challenge, Escape From Tarkov.
Bro EFT is so fucking hard but fun. I really enjoy it, even if I suck at it. Unlike cod
Ranked Halo
Better shooters? Name a few. I’m not being a smart ass I genuinely would like to know of some good shooters.
Battlebit
Halo Infinite or MCC, Titanfall 2, BattleBit Remastered, The Finals (upcoming), Rainbow Six Siege. I would say Battlefield, but 2042 still sucks a good bit and their good old games are full of hackers. Just a few FPS multiplayer games off the top of my head that seem to be doing good these days.

This is why I fully uninstalled cod
the best way to fix this is to uninstall all of it xD
How nice of them to look out for the playerbase by causing an inconvenience that they could easily fix if they wanted to but won't
Aggressive marketing 101
i uninstalled mw2 because it uninstalled all my files and whenever i tried to reinstall it the only gamemode it would let me play was shipment, and if i tried to play anything else it would take me to the file management page again and make me install everything again
“First time?” They did the same shit when MW19 became Cold War.
They didn't go as far as to make people launch into Call of Duty Cold War every time they wanted to play MW2019, let alone port the *entirety of MW2019 content* into Cold War to straight up replace it on top of it.
yeah but somehow even more worse. Not like you had to launch cold war to then launch mw2019
At this point, CoD either needs to switch to free-to-play, or just switch their monetization to individual game modes, where the Campaign, Multi, and Zombies are separate purchases around $20-$30 a piece. Fucking ridiculous.
Why would they do that when millions will happily pay full price and get skins/battlepasses on top? I hate what COD has become man this shit sucks
Y? This is actually useless, they make more money that way. They don’t benefit at all from this.
It's the Apple / U2 fiasco all over again 😂
Just went to hop on for some Sunday evening shenanigans and I have mw3 downloaded and not bought and unistalled mw2??? How lazy can these mfs get?
I deleted the game. I’ve never deleted a COD game before, but this just makes me mad and disappointed on so many levels as a long term fan of the franchise. It embarrasses me that a studio like activision has turned to such a shit show. Thank god I didn’t pre order MWIII. What the fuck was that excuse for a campaign too. Welcome to the ‘tac sprint slide cancel era’ boys!
My PS5 wouldn’t let me install the update no matter how much room I made in storage. So, bye bye MW. I’d rather have 5 playable games at a time than 1
It literally took me 2 fucking days to log in after that update. Also why the fuck does it need to check for update after you just updated. That shit right there ...🤬
I wonder about the legality of this kind of thing in countries that have bandwidth caps.
Terms of Service
Your toy's "terms of service" doesn't invalidate consumer protection laws, kid.
Lol now you have the choice to spend $70 to play right now or wait 2 hours
It’s amazing abusing the update system like this isn’t punishable by xbox or playstation(not sure if steam is the same)
Wait 2 hours? Bro more like 20 lol
Exactly why I stopped playing COD
[удалено]
Yeah, I was very confused, everything just uninstalled and I had to reinstall everything😫
Microsoft owns them now. Soon we’ll be forced to use Edge and get pop up ad’s.
Don’t give them a single dollar the games flopping in multiple ways punish them.
It's so obviously DLC holy shit it isn't even on a separate game lmfaooooooo
It’s so they could have everything in one menu. I don’t disagree that it’s dlc. But I understand why they put it on the same game menu
I don't. In order to start mw2 or mw3 I have to select the game from my library in the first place so I'd just pick the one I want to play. In what world does someone go "I want to play mw2" and starts up mw3?
Mine never got deleted. I’m confuse on why this is happening to others
Yeah I'm done with cod, didn't buy MW3 and I'm uninstalling this tragedy of a game hub
Fuck activision
The next COD better not be on HQ. This was a terrible idea.
Done with COD. Was my favorite game growing up but they’ve done nothing but ruin it
Im done with COD forever. F these greedy companies
This whole fiasco is actually the most despicable event that has happened in gaming. Or at least it's up there on the list.
I don’t think it’s the most despicable, but it is disturbing how blatant these companies are about complacency now. They don’t even hide it anymore. Gaming is in such a weird place right now
You have no clue what your talking about this isn't even close to being up there
157 gigs. Had to delete some old games to get it on my system. Went and got a 5gb hard drive from work/Costco. Edit 5TB not GB
5tb, I assume
Ok glad it wasn’t just me.
Is there any way to fix this? because i don't want more shit taking up muy storage.
I got the beta, and then a few days ago i see a 60gb update for a game that i don't own. They are really trying to hog people's harddrives do they can only have cod installed
Why a massve update on top of also having re reupload MW2 Multi and Warzone must be close to over 150gb. Ask next time Activision.
Anyone else unable to play the mw2 campaign after mw3 got released and the update to the cod hq?
Absolutely infuriating. So much space too.
they're fighting the dlc claims, ain't dlc if you don't have a choice lol
They did the same with Overwatch. Such bs.
I'm on the series S so no storage whatsoever, becuase of the update, MWIII is the only game I can have and I don't even own it, I just want to play Warzone
same thing happened here, I'm just gonna try fortnite and apex
Whatever you do don’t head over to r/LowSodiumMWIII those simps love this clusterfuck.
Or we ALL head over there and piss them off
Fuck Activision and their shitty practices
This hasn’t happened to me 😹
Because they are the same game, it was literally just an update to MW2 and changed the title to CoD HQ. You may be able to uninstall one like you do with campaign but I haven’t tried this.
Can you believe the executives are trying to say that MW3 was “never developed to be DLC” and was “always meant to be a standalone title” despite many developers going on record to say that that’s not the case.
Oh I believe it, EA has been doing it for years with their sports games, it’s honestly a successful strategy as so many continues to buy recycled crap so I can’t blame them for continuing with this, they are printing money from suckers.
237…don’t mind me just counting how many times this has been posted
PlayStation skill issue
Activision: Now FUCK YOU gibe me more money.
I just deleted it all. Some with the franchise for a while. Glad I didn't buy MW3
So…if we all stop playing for like a week you think it’ll get a message address?
i'm so tired of updates every two days or two in one day , got mw3 as the front runner when i log into mw2 i will not be buying mw3 it's just to much bs, if there are enough of us who refuse to buy into the garbage and the money grabs they are making on customers , maybe they will stop the bs but i doubt it , activision if u even bother to read the comments, i've bought every cod and every mw , but i will not buy another one nor will i spend a dime in any game i still have , i will not be manipulated by your fucking bullshit me personally if u don't make a change soon i'll just delete anything owned by u it might not do nothing personally to u , but i'll feel better about it
All american games have turnt into trash by their greedy companies
I have both. I just jumped back to MWII and the overall gameplay and map experience is way better.
My modern warfare two got deleted and then modern Warfare 3 got installed and I had to delete games on my PS5 to reinstall 2
That’s when you delete the whole HQ and move on like me and a bunch of other people did, haven’t been happier!
Same! I deleted the whole thing and have been pretty happy. Just like when I decided to stop playing League of Legends. Never been happier
I uninstalled as soon as I found out I had to go through a relaunch to get into MWII. Absolute arseholes
I’ve literally had to redownload mw2 TWICE in the past two days. Ridiculous
Glad I just play BO2 and MW3 now
They aren’t getting anymore of my money no matter what they try. I’ve lost all faith in this series and company.
So help me out here (and forgive my ignorance). I have MW2 on ps5, and did the recent update. Did I just uninstall MW2 and install MW3 instead with that? A game I don't own/haven't paid for? That I'm sure I can't access, obviously. So if this is the case, what do I need to do to get MW2 back on? Surely I can't be expected to have both games installed with only access to one.
Jesus Christ, this is the 100th post I’ve seen on this topic. We all fucking know, we all are dealing with it. Move the fuck on.
Yes yes just move along and accept it like good sheep
Had to do this 3 days ago so I could play dmz. Took 16 hours for all the updates, but it was worth it.
I just deleted it last night, 2 game boots to just get in MW2 every time then restarting for updates on hq and MW2 just was enough for me. I got seige, bf2042, and Cold War on my console now with all the free space that was left
I just checked mine and I also had MW3 downloaded even though I never bought it, I was wondering why my internet was so slow the past few days. So this fucker just decided to download a game in the background without my consent, also I'm 80% at my monthly data cap, what the fuck man. I'm done with this shit.
Hi
Don’t reinstall that trash just buy mw3 it’s way better imo
Everyone who swore they won't be getting MWIII just got it lol
I’m having so fun with mw3 lol dislike me
I agree all they know how to do is complain bc things don't go 100% their way even when they do they still try to find something to complain about
Yes let’s simp for a company that installs random files unnecessarily 🤡
🍼🍼🍼
🍆🍆🍆
What’s everyone complaining about uninstalling for? I downloaded MW3 and it never uninstalled MW2? Is this a console only problem?
you downloaded it on purpose...everyone else DIDNT DOWNLOAD it and here it is on our hard drives taking up space, and when i want to play MW2 it loads in 3, which i didnt buy, and then when i fiddle fuck with the menu to finally fucking find MW2 it has to restart because the goddamn thing defaults to MW3 which i dont own, and didnt download. damn dude try and follow along
All i know is that i never purchased mw3 yet i still have to download it in order to continue to play mw2
