I…what the…HUH??
Absolutely baffling!
"I’ll explain: Before you can launch Modern Warfare 3, you have to launch Modern Warfare 2 first. Seriously. “Call of Duty HQ” is just the Modern Warfare 2/Warzone client under a new name.
Switching between Modern Warfares 2 and 3 from the HQ is not like switching modes. Once you’re on the main menu, you could jump immediately into Warzone or a multiplayer match of MW2. Clicking the Modern Warfare 3 button, however, closes the HQ app and launches an entirely different executable called Modern Warfare 3. There is no option to just launch Modern Warfare 3, because “Modern Warfare 3” is not its own game. It’s buried, literally, inside CoD HQ as a piece of add-on content.
The result? It takes 70-90 seconds to launch Modern Warfare 3—at least, those are the times I’m getting. That’s an eternity for CoD, but what’s baffling is that these extra steps serve no discernable purpose for players. Perhaps Activision pitched the CoD HQ with consoles in mind, where games aren’t so easily organized by series and an app that switches between the handful of still-active CoDs is useful."
Then you can’t run MW3. If not for the date, I’d honestly have suspected that Activision were doing a huge April fool’s prank!
I doubt that. I bet they package the client with 3 but you don’t get any actual mw2 content.
Wait, WHAT!?! Really tells me they could just add content to the same game for 2 or 3 years as DLC and stop with the annual releases. Now THAT, I’d like.
At this point being into the MW series is basically having a humilliation fetish with a side order of findoming.
Really? Your worst fear? You got nothing scarier going on in your life?
Do I have to download both torrents?
