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.

"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."

What if you don’t own MW2?

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.

You can actually download it without buying . I wanted to play warzone on ps5 . Took forever to find the download for it but it basically makes you download all of modern warfare 2 just to play the free to play parts .

That is dumb. When will game studios realise shit like that kills their game?

Edit: not you just to make it clear, the situation.

When they’re done shoveling all the money this brought them. Sadly.
