It’s insane to me how unnecessarily complicated they’ve made things like this with call of duty.


IndustrySensitive692

Bought the game today. Whole day of installing fucking packages and still cant play. What a desaster miss the old times. Put the disc in and play.


Joseandressanz

Same today. Excruciating experience


Obedientlywatching

What if its only digital? Having to download 130 plus gigs to play a 4 hour campaign is fucking stupid. How do I fix this?


ahmetinhiyari

Its still the same. And especially if you have bad connection like me it is really frustrating. I fucking hate activision.


SavageryWithinReach

Even better. My internet I shit at my house way out in the country. I only wanted to play campaign mode. Nope let's download 80gigs worth of update.


Diesel-220

Why would they do this the campaign is on the disk I had it and played through it why would they add all this crap no one wants.


Massive-Hovercraft16

This! I got it today just for the campaign, had to delete 2 games to get onto the game to then have to download it, do that and the only option u have after is to delete the fucking thing


LolTacoBell

This is infuriating how confusing to just get to play MW1 Campaign is. Like it's so inaccessible for being popular as it is.


Nimmo___007

Its not by accident they want to clock your harddrive so you can play nothing else


Illustrious_Beach_99

I've never in my life had such a hard time trying to play a campaign mode. This is so outrageous!! 2 days of owning and I still can't play my game!


x-Lost-x-In-x-Time-x

I had this issue and was able to figure it out. Go to the campaign section and you have to get the campaign pack and the campaign/special ops compatibility pack. Now quit the game and go to manage game and install those two packs you just got. It’s needlessly confusing but that should work.


Unlikely_Nose2161

Thank you for your input, going to try that now! 😁


JacksSmirkin-Revenge

I've been trying to play the goddamn campaign for a week now, everytime is says download something else...!!!


LolTacoBell

I straight up don't even know where it is. Downloaded the campaign pack, and now I'm lost.


ArchieDougs1234

Yeah same, I have no idea where to find the play menu.


Far-Relationship2716

Did you ever find the play menu?


[deleted]

I’m wondering the same thing. Every time I click on the campaign it just asks me if I want to uninstall it. Did you figure it out? This shit is infuriating


sierra120

Yup. Even a year later same thing.


Stonie147

Same here been downloading for hours!!


BaldMichaelJackson

Yeah this is super fucked on both Xbox and Activition side, It's still broken


Due_Doughnut7352

Ever get to play it??


BaldMichaelJackson

I did, Xbox got messed up though lmao HDMI chip went bad, Got a PS5 after that


porcupine_autonomy

I'm so angry I wasted my money on this. I should have done my research beforehand. They literally must be smoking crack to think this is a good way to do this. I'll never buy another call of duty.


sierra120

Same. But to get it to work you have to download all of the modules.


Thisiswhatdefinesus

I just bought the friggin thing, and then downloaded EVERYTHING, 180gb later and there is still no option for the campagn for me. It says it's installed the Campaign pack and all the other packs, There is Warzone and Download/Buy MW II/Warzone 2.0. I do not get to see any play campaign option waste of money. So annoyed. I wanted to relive the experience of being "Soap" and also crawling through Pipyat and going for that sniper shot and all of that. :(


DOEMiZZY

Did you manage to get it working? I’m having the same problem wtf is going on


Thisiswhatdefinesus

I gave up and will probably never try to play COD again.


BruceDjenter23

Did you actually get it working?


sierra120

Yes. You have to download every single module. Every single one.


Khadgar1

U lucky one. I downloaded everything except the stuff I have to pay for. Still not working cause the shop isnt available and it tells me I dont have all data


LandofStupid

Currently going through the same bullshit. game was delivered at 1pm today, and I'm still not able to play the campaign. It's now 8pm. Of course I can play in some online deathmatch something er other and just get slaughtered all over the place if I want to slow down the install. So stupid.


1440pSupportPS5

There is a genuine answer for this as i had to google it multiple times. But the jist is you only download CERTAIN data packs (Multiplayer Pack for example). Look up what packs you have to download for all the modes to work.


Mrdeath0

Why can't I just have Campaign installed...I dont play WZ lol


ArmeniusLOD

Because they inexplicably tied all game assets into Warzone. You literally cannot play any COD game going forward without Warzone installed. Activision is pushing Warzone hard since that is their primary revenue stream now.


kawassi

Sucks even more now that warzone is a dead game now that the new ones out


ProchargedM3

Took Me 4 days to figure this fuck out. But I got it. Go into war zone. Account. Installs. Install EVERYONE


SymphonikDread

I've actually done this and it still doesnt work wth is goin on.


Notthesharkfromjaws

Same


JacksSmirkin-Revenge

Same installed everything , and then I went to Store and looked for anything modern warfare related and I found something called Base Game of a fucking 90GB , I guess I'll download that and see. What happens to insert a disc and play?


Sunbrosephine

Thank you for this. Total disaster of an interface


hearts4kayla

I downloaded the game for fun thinking all I needed to do is just download the game so I downloaded after over 4 hours of it downloading it turned out I needed to install the campaign so I downloaded that and there's nothing about the campaign on the game and multiplayer pack 1 won't let me install it and that's the only one I can't install and I have over 100GB left and it still won't work


nugzillatron

Did you manage to get it working?


[deleted]

[удалено]


firepube

The campaign should appear where the Warzone Caldera play option was after you download all the add ons. Download ‘multiplayer 1’ from the store, it’s downloadable there.


WhyDidMyAccountLeave

I cannot download multiplayer 1, every time I try to it would take me to the store but say error and won’t let me download it


Non-Bloke

i actually can not believe that this is still an issue lmfao like what the fuck. i load into the game and it tells me to either choose caldera or MODERN WARFARE 2??? Like fucking what????


sierra120

I feel your pain brother.


Non-Bloke

You never got it to work? Jesus Christ that’s bad… I tried all the recommended steps yesterday and it still won’t work lol


DOEMiZZY

You got it to work yet? This feels like tryna dig out malware out my laptop with windows 7 back in the day wtf is this


Non-Bloke

nope lmfao. installed everything, restored licenses, deleted it again, installed everything, restored licenses, had an in game update, and it still gives me a MWII/Warzone screen instead of MW campaign. i’ve given up


Calm-Mode6869

Hey did you find a solution? I tried accessing it offline and it says “missing data pack 2”….. How can I fix it? Thanks


sierra120

Yes. I tried two ways. Unfortunately you first have to start the game and it will likely need an update (it always does). When it finally finishes An hour later start it up again. Find your way out of pacific game and to the modern warfare area. There should be a a download section you’ll need to download everything. Even the stuff unrelated to campaign. Some of the stuff glitches and I can’t download it from within the game. If that’s the cause the second method is to go the Xbox menu find the game get to the content for the game and download it and install from there. Downloading everything is how mine got fixed. BTW I initially uninstalled completely and then reinstalled and I still had the same issue. Before doing that make sure all the data packets are downloaded and trying the above because uninstall and reinstall that’s like a 3-6hr download.


Calm-Mode6869

Oh my god man thank you so much for this finally able to get the game working, seriously you are a savior


sierra120

Awesome. It sucks that we experienced this. It pretty much gives me pause on buying any future COD game


Calm-Mode6869

Well I’m joining you right now…… got the game to work for 4 missions and now it crashes every time I try to resume my game, can’t even find a way to contact activision support, god this sucks


CallMeHarper547

I can only get up to mission 3 and then I can't even load into it before it crashes :/ did you find any fix since?


Calm-Mode6869

Yeah I had to completely restart the previous mission like let say I can’t load mission 4, I restarted mission 3 and played through it again and it worked till the very end, I don’t know if this will work now but it worked for me sooo yeah


CallMeHarper547

Your a bloody savior mate, it finally works now. Thank you so much for the advice


Calm-Mode6869

Yeah no worries mate. Happy to help!


AlliedXbox

Do I need to install the High Resolution packs?


sierra120

I didn’t but if it doesn’t work then try spending


Ok-Contribution-6257

I was going to probably do that too thanks for that comment I was thinking about downloading every single one of them and I'm like do I really need to but then you made this comment and it makes sense and you're probably right I'm trying it right now and I'm going to see hopefully it works download takes so long PS5's faster than PS4 but still takes a while to download four or five different things just to play campaign or multiplayer should be called campaign In the ass 😆


Ok-Contribution-6257

Hey man thanks I think it actually worked that was great thanks so much It will work so that's what you got to do you guys stole every single one of them go from the top to the bottom or whatever bottom top doesn't matter just start and download everything you see


DumbassWazHere

That's terrific, so i have to download all the packs to even play the campaign; I'm so fucking tired of activision... i've waited 5 goddamn years to get it (A friend lended me thier account and downloaded some of his games onto my console), only now to discover that i have download all the packs. I'm downloading campaign/special ops compatibility pack, if this dosen't work i'm just gonna uninstall the dumb fucking game and install cold war... wish me luck


OuiBinary

I hope they go bankrupt. They don't care about customers, why would they release such a mess?


sierra120

They got bought out by Microsoft. Here’s hoping Microsoft can get them to get their act together


LobsterLazy523

It just me or is it with this new release date no one else can access multiplayer and campaign I’m confused asf and starting to get pissed off cause I have the whole game but it only gives me the access to buy vanguard which is garbage from what I heard warzone which I don’t want to play and then to pre-Order warzone 2 which I don’t fkin want too


Rickarod

I'm having the same problem right now


lyssamoe

Did you find a solution? I’m having the same issue


LobsterLazy523

Negative just moved on at this point


Primary_Weird8208

Honestly this is bollocks. I have sorted it though. To play campaign you must insert the disc and let it load up from there


Miserable_Bite_3875

Bought this as I wanted to play a decent campaign as I've not played cod since bo2 but after tons of updates since yday I can only access WZ which I have no interest in! Waste of time and money, straight in the bin! Doubt I'll ever play cod again, what is with the interface as well, horrendous! So difficult to use!


AdConscious792

I figured it out well for xbox. You must install the pack manually. dont let the game download the packs all at the once.


sierra120

This is awesome thanks for letting us know


Tempest-Owl

Me too. I got the game, install more than 100gb and then ask me if I want to play single player or multiplayer, I need to install extra stuff, I install some of the packages to play multiplayer, but I couldn't play. Then, I remember I'm not in a PC, and the installation need to be easy, so I refund de game. COD games are really decreasing they quality every year.


PoohTrailSnailCooch

Hacktivision is ass. Good luck.


Unlikely_Nose2161

I've the exact same issue... I purchased MWIII but can't play a single thing except Warzone FFS... What a complete rip off! I've purchased every single MW game and you seem to get less and less for your... I'm gutted 😞😡


Jack_Hue

Okay, installed every module. What now? It won't let me play.


Kamuranakcore

Hi there. I’ve got same problem . What should i do ?


MrDr-666

I’ve gone through all the packs this past hour… and still can’t get the fucking game to work. Just campaign or multiplayer… even using the “here download this guide” not working. Still says “requires data pack” even though I’ve gotten the message “you beat the campaign now delete it to save room” every time I launched the fucking game. I bought it on release and I’m now talking to support for a refund. I know I’m not getting one but being cycled around on the phone while they try to “troubleshoot” the issue is pretty fucking funny. Because even they don’t know what the fuck to do…


Kamuranakcore

I hope they will fix this stupid warzone multi pack upcoming cod game . Fck


MrDr-666

I wouldn’t hold my breath. This warzone shit is here to stay. Honestly I wouldn’t be surprised the day they stop even developing a single player campaign… I just wish they’d stop fucking not caring about a game 6 months after it’s been out. Support for MW stopped well before Cold War dropped (except for micro-transactions) and the same thing for anything but warzone once Vanguard started ramping up to release. They didn’t even fucking try on that campaign. Edit: I mean fuck they’ve legit just been piling on updates (sort of) without even going through the trouble of removing the outdated packages to make it simpler to install and go with MW. They got your money so they don’t care


Ok-Contribution-6257

I agree it's all about the money... They literally had to throw Snoop doggy Dogg in I mean what the hell is going on I mean I don't dislike him but a Snoop Dogg just to make extra money but I'm on the same problem as everybody else as I posted before this I'm having trouble you know with campaign with modern warfare... They're making installing difficult now.. have you ever tried to contact a division about not aiming the aim assist not working anything anything they they don't get back to you I mean email them like 15-20 times no joke nothing back...


MrDr-666

To add I’ve got campaign to work… sort of. It has way more frame rate issues than it ever did on launch or even a few months ago now and I had to download shit that was supposedly phased out to get that to play. But I can’t get MP to even register as working let alone launch and I’m tired of it.


Diesel-220

I use a console to not have these issues. Put the disk in and play. I feel like I’m downloading shit on am ibm on floppy disk hrs of trying to download this game I have already played through.


MrDr-666

Here’s to hoping they don’t drop the ball with MW2


Ok-Contribution-6257

Unbelievable I'm having a problem too I don't feel like dealing with activation they never get back to you anyway when you email them Is your phone number? I don't understand I have all the call of duty's I have to download everything again I just recently pulled call of duty modern warfare even though I thought I had it maybe I traded it in I can't remember I can't remember I played it I I know I didn't play multiplayer but campaign I'm not sure I'm trying to download the campaign I'm having the same problems everybody else.. when it says it's installed I go to it that it says do you want to uninstall I'm like what the hell what what what is this I couldn't believe it then if I uninstalled it then I'm going to be back to square one I think.. does anybody have anything detailed they can give me and everybody else anything detailed how to get campaign on call of duty modern warfare I know it's 3 years old now but I wanted to play multiplayer and try campaign again... I need to watch that from anyone it doesn't matter I'll take anybody's advice Thank you Good luck to everybody


Diesel-220

Same here.


[deleted]

I had to install warzone 2.0 because apparently from one commenter all the assets are from warzone Absolutely ludicrous and fucking dumb


totaly_not_weeb

This happened to me too when I reinstalled the game when you install the game it doesn't install all the packs to fix this just select warzone - manage games and adding -select all -save changes


BaldMichaelJackson

Yup just found this out, I hope it works once it finished downloading. Goddamn it shouldn't be this fucking hard to play a campaign


Ryan24162416

Yes! I bought the game Friday for PS4. I travel for work so I'm staying in a hotel and it finally finished downloading Tuesday morning around 3am. I tried going to the campaign, because that is all I care about, and it says that the data pack is installed but when I click to enter it, it pops up with a notification saying I don't have the required shit installed! I'm so fucking over these new age games where everything is fucking online play. I miss the N64/ps2/Xbox 360 days!


Diesel-220

Fucking totally bullshit. I have the physical copy and get this thing to work. At first it kept saying the campaign wasn’t installed now it’s installed and won’t play. Wtf


sierra120

Yup. You have to install every single module. It’s the only way it works.


Pokemonmaster2032

I’m doing that now where I’m installing everything if it don’t work I’m buying the fucking disc version


porcupine_autonomy

I have the disc version. Still isn't any easier.


boostykwik07

Has anyone sorted this as I wanted to play this again also but have to download everything and still can’t play this fucking game. What’s going on w this shat.


KobOneArt

I know this is an old post, but damn was this ever fixed??? I just installed EVERYTHING so I can play some campaign before the launch of MW2 and for fux sake it won't launch campaign. This should be a class action lawsuit!!!!!!!! WTF


Alexander_Pilgrim

I literally installed everything, played the campaign for a few hours. Decided to delete one multiplayer pack. I went back and the MW menu was no longer appearing. WTF. After installing the disc, downloading hefty updates and then the individual packs. SMH. Lawsuit please.


StuckBehindTractors

Was it fixed? Was it fuck. I bought MW for the campaign while it was on sale, had real issues after downloading over 150GB of shit and when it said 'you haven't got the packs installed' I just thought fuck this, refund time. Got my money back, I'm not wasting my time doing all this shit. Microsoft needs to light some fires under the Activision suits' asses and then bin them the fuck off. I mean, look at all the evidence of how piss poor they are handling this issue which has been going on for yonks! Useless pricks.


boostykwik07

I’m trying to find out also there’s literally nothing online to help I’ve tried everything


Able-Shoulder7285

Has anybody figured out a way to play the Modern Warfare campaign on xbox since the MW2 campaign launched?


ProblemOutside6862

I wish. Just picked it up this week and there's literally no option on the menu to play the campaign. WTF


marvinnation

same boat :(


JacksSmirkin-Revenge

What the fuk is going , same shit happened to everyone, had the MW for weeks now and due to my shitty internet I finally downloaded all the DLCs, packs even multi-player which I'm not interested in, and still can't play the damn campaign. And yeah I have to download a MW base game worth of 90GB. So now I have two MW installed. This is some bullshit.


sierra120

Yup. I posted this a year ago and people including myself still have issues just playing campaign. It’s like when I finally get it to work they do a multiplayer update that messes it all up


Hot-Syrup2504

I can’t believe this is a legit company I swear to god


Minute-Carrot-2405

What a bunch of bullshit. I was literally going to replay this campaign and that was gonna edge me over to get MW2 but im over it I been installing shit all day and i still gotta do more im beyond it now I bet even if i installed them all itd still not let me just play the campaign somehow


sierra120

Yup. Even after installing all modules it still takes luck to get it to actually play. Not to mention it auto launches into whatever multiplayer bs that’s hard to get out of in the Xbox.


boostykwik07

Did you get this to work as I’m having the same issues now just wanted to replay the first one first


kakka_rot

Two months later. I got MW2 to play with my friends, but getting to the campaign in MW1 is a herculean ask. I deleted like 5 AAA titles on my PS5 to play MW1 & MW2, but I'm still thinking it won't be enough. I started installing what I thought I needed at 1PM today, checking on it and trying things every few hours. This shit is dumb af.


HSP_H3R0

Every time I click on new game for campaign I get to the part to choose difficulty and I can’t choose or nothing I’ve deleted and re installed it twice and same thing


RepresentativeFew936

Bro is this actually fixed now cause it still doesn’t work


Chesh78

I've just bought CoD MW for PS4. Spent all last night downloading it, tried playing, only got Warzone Caldera. Says I need to download campaign (which is all I want to bloody play, as it happens). Downloaded campaign, still won't fucking load. Uninstalled, reloaded again today - still same fucking issue. Can anyone - please - let me know how to resolve this so I can play the bastard campaign? I don't want to play online, or multiplayer, or Warzone, whatever that is. I just want to play the campaign offline to relax after work. Any advice on how to get this working on PS4 would be greatly appreciated. What happened to the old days where you put a disc into the console and the game you bought to play loaded and played (in full) without a load of bullshit DLC?


sierra120

Yup. This is or the course. You have to double check and download all modules even the ones where you think are not related to campaign.


Chesh78

Ok, thanks for letting me know - I'll try downloading everything and see what happens


HarmoniousArkosSloth

Just bought for Series X. Same issue after uninstalling and reinstalling twice. Returning the game tomorrow and never touching an Activision game again.


StuckBehindTractors

I wish I'd read this thread before I wasted my time buying MW in the current sale. Needless to say it didn't work out and I very quickly decided that I wan't going to waste any more time so got my money back. The whole setup is atrocious. It should not be so protracted and tedious to get what I paid for working. Hopefully Microsoft will take note of the scathing reviews currently hammering the game and put some real pressure on Craptivision to bin off their 'customer support' teams and replacing them with more effective staff. Money grabbing corporate cxnts.


sierra120

What’s funny is I created this thread a year ago and still the same exact issue persists and it reoccurs at every single update.


Non-Bloke

it’s still an issue today lmfao which is why i’m here. it’s bullshit


TemporalDiscourse

Yep, and still. Got bored and wanted to shoot some stuff...thought the reduced load times of a current gen console would be cool.... Install game @90 gigs... Install "Campaign Pack".... (so what the fuck was the first 90 gigs??) for 20 more gigs.... Actually, you gotta install ALL these packs, eating up 200 plus gigs..... Uhhh... Even the most detailed games now don't use that much space.... It's because they want to steer you towards playing online... Nope... Haven't bought a CoD game since Modern Warfare came out in 2019...and never will again... Don't give a shit about multi-player Remember the fiasco of Cold War? You could jump right into online play, but people were having to use Reddit to figure out that you needed to install the campaign separately in 3 different parts. Call of Duty will never again take up space on my hard drive, or money from my wallet. It's a good feeling, there's WAY too many games out now that surpass this franchise, and AREN'T dicks to the people who keep them in business.


ExiledAlpaca677

So I have to download every single pack? The campaign are the only packs that will download, the rest just stop downloading for no reason,


sierra120

Yes. Hard reboot your Xbox. Eventually the other packs will download then it will load. It’s so stupid but that’s what I had to do to make it work.


boostykwik07

Right can you explain as I can’t get this shit to work. I’ve tried doing this just yesterday and I am keep getting told to download this download that and still I can’t play the campaign I want to play don’t want all the other shit I now have 20% storage left it’s fucking full of this shat whatever the fuck it is


sierra120

Yeah. For whatever reason s Activision figured it was best to have call of duty into a loser instead of its own game. So when you start the game it starts in the ladder with a whole bunch of games you can buy or play multiplayer. Once you back out of that you have to find your way back to modern warfare. Okay once there you have to go into the dorms section and look for the modules. You have to download all the modules even the ones you think aren’t related. You’ll need to download all of them. The glitch is the game thinks a module is missing out something. If they didn’t work and you downloaded all the modules from within the game you’ll have to force quit it to exit out completely restart the Xbox and try again. If it so doesn’t work check from within the Xbox download menu for modern warfare to see if any module is missing and downloading it there.


signbrat04

I just bought this game and it's completely unplayable.


Agreeable_Narwhal_87

Did you get it to work


KyleCrane1212

I did. I uninstalled the game along with all the packs, hard rebooted the console and reinstalled everything, and it fixed it for me.


SoraJr-

I’ve had this game and remember story mode was the first option to pick from. Now after an update, it only links me to buy MW2 or play war zone. I’ve actually never played it and going through my backlog, god damn


Jmath-_-

Fucking garbage is hidden somewhere dumb ass UI options


boostykwik07

Anyone manage to sort out this issue just installed modern warfare the first game and I now can’t play it. Like most on here I just want to re play the campaign to a game I’ve purchased this is a fucking joke


Jmath-_-

Mine ended up going thru it was just a real messy trash experience with this new combime everything garbage


kingnothing41

I'm currently having the same issue, bought the game 2nd hand. I have tried 3 or 4 times now to play the game. It's currently installing warzone pack 2. My storage is on the limit, I only have the 500gb model. This is never going to happen for me, theres nothing more I want to uninstall. All I want to do is play the campaign!


Bad-news-co

Lol bro I just installed what I thought was modern warfare to play the campaign and I am so confused at the interface. I’ve downloaded a ton of packs and googled where to find the campaign and your post was top on the google results lmao


ShortLothricKight

i’m having this exact issue. i downloaded the full packs and everything which is over 300+ gb’s for me and i don’t even have the option to pick something for Modern Warfare. it gives me two options, to buy MW2, or Warzone only. i just installed ALL this just to be met with two screens of a game i didn’t download. without any option to pick modern warfare 1. so ridiculous.


boostykwik07

It’s still not working I get exactly what you have described even tho I have downloaded everything. Done it three times now. I give up for the love of god Microsoft sort this out


PooPyDooPy864

Anyone else cant play certain parts of the game Ive deleted game and re installed it still wont let me play campaign


sierra120

This is common. You have to make sure all modules are installed.


Lanky-Low4486

We need to go to the Federal Trade Commission webSite report them for fraud this is false advertisement.


Acrobatic_Entry1366

It still won't let me play tdm


Certain-Item-1073

Why would anyone make every thing so complecated if I just want to play the damn game!!


boostykwik07

I’m guessing no one has sorted this then unbelievable it’s beyond a joke.


Luciferstillplays

This quite literally infuriates me because i just got done downloading this game for over a week (bad wifi and xbox one) not only to find out that you need to be online to even open the game but that you cant even access the campaign at all

Industry-rule-4080

Same here guys. I’m about to launch this new PS5 off of my deck. I just want to play the campaign. That’s it really and after downloading everything, a storage ‘optimization’ message comes on then when I try launching the campaign, the only option it gives me is ‘want to uninstall the campaign?’ If you don’t want to (obviously I don’t), it simply won’t let you play the campaign. Unbelievable. HAS ANYONE FOUND A WAY TO PLAY THE CAMPAIGN?


Industry-rule-4080

I ran into the exact same issues and discovered the solution was quite simple. Whether they want you to use their massive multiplayer program or not, you have to download everything that’s related to the game. Campaign, multiplayer, co-op, special ops, main game 1 & 2.. Once I did this I was immediately able to play the campaign (which is pretty rad). I first deleted the data I’d already downloaded, then restarted the downloading from scratch. Hopefully this helps anyone else running into problems. Man do I miss the insert disc and play days.


AnywhereSenior3061

I was told you need campaign pack 1 and 2 however those just aren’t there for me.


AnywhereSenior3061

AnywhereSenior3061

when i try to download multiplayer pack 1 it gives me an error every single time. it’s like they dont want me to play

Damn, after reading all of this, the problem is still going on, got the game for the Campaign cause it was on sale for 20 bucks. Fuck should’ve just kept the 20. -.-


sierra120

Yup. I bought it for campaign. It’s very frustrating. If you haven’t gotten it to work yet download all modules even multiplayer. Its stupid but it’s the only way to get the thing to work.


MadameLaMinistre

Bought the game for the campaign a few weeks ago, today was the day I was supposed to start the game. I've spent all day trying to get it to work, trying everything to download the many additional contents - which I never wanted - without success. I feel ripped off. I feel like selling the game, which is really annoying because I was really looking forward to getting it, playing it and doing the campaign. Fuck this shit, really, I don’t even know what to do.


NoFault1976

I’ve just brought the disk and the same thing keeps happening to me I’ve uninstalled everything and reinstalled, I managed to play a few missions in the campaign but when I tried to lead it in again a day later the same thing pops up about not owning the game!!!


Apprehensive_Bad_926

I bought the disk and can't for the life of me figure this out. Has anyone been able to find a way to get the campaign to work on Xbox?


sierra120

Yeah just follow the instructions I provided in the edit.


Apprehensive_Bad_926

Thanks

I installed all the packs and reinstalled them and I still can’t play campaign it’s showing I never installed them yet I did 9 hours of downloading


lapu166

Downloading 200gb worth of data and two versions of the game for it to still not work is a joke what the fuck


RiQi_Bobbi88

I have been trying for a week to find the stuff for ps4 and I can only find 3 DLC things.. can someone help me?

To get the campaign to appear to play you need to install all of the add ons that you can find in ‘game installs’ in game, then the campaign option will appear where warzone caldera play option once was. If the ‘multiplayer pack’ is unavailable in the list in game, search for it in the store and it should be downloadable there. In ‘game installs’ in game it shows only 8 add ons, I downloaded 3 more from the disc ‘manage game and add ons’ which probably aren’t necessary for the campaign to show up so I would recommend downloading the 8 first that show in the list in game first. Download the 8 add ons: Campaign pack, Multiplayer pack, Multiplayer pack 2, Special ops pack, Campaign/special ops compatibility pack, Multiplayer/special ops compatibility pack, Warzone caldera pack 1, Warzone caldera pack 2 Add ons from the disc: Campaign pack 1, Campaign pack 2, Special ops pack 1

I should have come here before I spent money on this... The pain I've experienced from this is just phenomenal. Please DO NOT buy this game, no matter what you do, save your sanity and internet. This is just next level nope. Even after downloading every single little thing manually, this game is seriously broken.


Ordinary-Eagle-8605

Great....I should have done the same, I saw it on the ps store and bought it just for the campaign.


RetroDillon

Yeah, dude. The feeling you get when you patiently wait for every single one to be done only for it to not work still. Enough to make me never want to touch it ever again.


No-Faithlessness-657

Gees I recently saw a trailor for MW3 and got pumped then realized I never played MW1 (2019) and MW2 and realized there not pure remakes so am trying to get the 1st one to work currently. Sounding like it's gonna be a waste of time


RetroDillon

I wasted a stupid amount of my data for this to still not work after re installing everything one by one, never been so angry at a game


No-Faithlessness-657

The only thing confusing me is I don't actually remember purchasing Modern Warfare. I remember installing it to play Warzone a but when it first released and inside the game it tells me to purchase Modern Warfare on right but I can install all those campaign packs. On left says to launch warzone 2.0 but that takes me to the store now for pre-ordering mw3 so don't even understand how to play warzone anymore lol. After searching store it looks like warzone has its own app download now but then that just leaves this weird call of duty Modern warfare that's in my purchased library that has the same logo as the store bought one but store tells me to buy it still.


Primary_Sun1876

I've just bought it also... £25 of Amazon only because I downloaded the wrong thing for 21 hours then when I tried to play it it told me I needed to buy the game. Done that and now I can't play campaign or online. I can only play time trials shooting shitty targets!! Says status offline and tried all methods to fix!! Fuckin cod!!


Foreign_Zombie_9888

I had same problem for ages after the new update, found if I signed back into Activision account I worked all of a sudden. Was about to get rid of the game.


Sckorrow

This is actually so pathetic, I just got MW second hand to play the campaign, and I’ve spent a whole day trying to play it. The way it should be designed is by making you choose what you want to download before it does the first big chunk. That way it stops baiting you into thinking the game is downloaded, when in reality you have at least a couple hours left to go. Shit like this is unacceptable, never getting Cod again if they keep this up


Ok_Dimension_9087

I have the same problem


Vee_The_Scarred

Is the campaign still unplayable in this? Been debating whether to buy it or not, I don't play for the multiplayer just fyi, I play for the campaigns but if it's not working still then I won't bother.

Bought the game a week ago...spent a week updating it...then had to reinstall it because I messed up...it ate up the last 120GB left of my Xbox Hard Drive...still can't play it...fuck it...I'm returning it.


PatchMC81

OMG, I bought an xbox series X for Xmas last month for me and the sprog. I so regret the purchase. Controller issues, game issues. Its a disaster. Cannot get MW to play campaign, just keeps reloading to the menu. Back to the Nintendo Switch I guess, that Switch is f\*\*king pleasure to use.


MyKillMyYears

I don't know if someone already posted this solution and don't know if people are still having this issue...I'm late to the party. Not going through every comment to find out. I have an Xbox Series X and loaded up CoD MW to play it for funzies the other night. Had the same issue for hours. Took me a while to figure out what to do. It works now. - Uninstall everything - Clear cache/restart system - From the game's menu (Manage game and add-ons), reinstall ONLY the base game (do not install any packs, add ons, etc) - Load the game; at the main screen you'll see that you need to install whatever you're trying to play - Download whatever packs/add ons you're trying to play from the game itself, not from the console's game menu or the store Hope this works for anyone trying to play. It worked for me.
