Call of Duty: Modern Warfare has officially launched, but unfortunately, some players are already experiencing issues with the title.
Multiple players are reporting an inability to log in to Call of Duty: Modern Warfare. Activision Support has already acknowledged the issue, and is working on it, but apparently doesn't have a fix as of yet.
It's unclear what exactly is causing this problem. Some players simply have an inability to log in, which is likely due to an abundance of server traffic. However, others have claimed that the game is producing disc error messages when attempting to play a purely digital copy. Xbox One CoD: Modern Warfare players are also allegedly seeing crashes. Activision Support has already acknowledged the problems and claims that some players have been able to log in. According to Activision, those who are logged in shouldn't have any connection difficulties. However, this leaves gamers in the difficult situation where if they need to log out, they may not be able to log back in.
It's unfortunate that this problem is happening at launch, though not entirely unexpected. Many games suffer problems like this on launch day due to the huge amount of players that are trying to log in all at once. However, given the long-standing popularity of Call of Duty, one would think that Activision would have been ready for a launch-day server crush. This should be especially true, since CoD: Modern Warfare broke its street date and could allegedly be played with friends prior to launch. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be the case.
Thankfully, gamers should have plenty to enjoy once they can successfully log in to the game. Burger King recently teased the return of the Burger Town map to Call of Duty, and the game has also received praise for its lack of loot boxes in favor of a battle pass. Unfortunately for Russian CoD players, they may not be able to play Call of Duty: Modern Warfare digitally on the PS4. With any luck, though, this will be the last of the issues facing Modern Warfare players and the game itself will be worth waiting for.
Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
