Call of Duty Modern Warfare Didn't Work for Me (2019 - XBox One)
3We are taking a trip to the year of 2019 when Cal of Duty Modern Warfare was released. This video was created for journalistic purposes.
I was looking forward to trying this game. It is a more modern instalment to this franchise compared to many of the previous instalments I played. This as I try and give this franchise another attempt to impress me.
What I was expecting was probably a bland and boring campaign with very little in the way of innovation. What I got was something that fell short of even those expectations.
When I installed the game off the disc, it had all sorts of multiplayer and single player packs along with the main install of the game. An odd way of handling this, I thought, but I'll go ahead and let the game install anyway and hope that the game works.
Well, it didn't work.
Instead, I got a message saying that the single player campaign DLC wasn't installed... even though it was. This after I skipped the lousy registration requirement thinking that I won't be needing it for anything other than multiplayer. Since I was going for single player mode, I didn't think it was needed.
So, I did what any reasonable player is expected to do in this situation: trouble shoot to see if it is anything they did wrong to try and play the game. Solutions ranged from installing an Arabic language pack to registering for the single player experience. The problem is that the solutions are in reference to the PC and Playstation ports, not the XBox port.
Nevertheless, registering an account with Activision was certainly an idea I could try. So, that's what I did.
What I got was a different screen telling me that the single player "DLC" wasn't installed... even though it was. So, I let the game take care of downloading the DLC that was already on my machine.
9GB of wasted bandwidth later, the game re-downloaded and re-installed the "DLC" for the single player campaign. Great, right? Nope. When I went back into the game, the screens changed and I got what you see in the video. It asked me to redownload and reinstall the single player DLC in order to begin playing the game.
At that point, I basically got fed up and recorded the video as you see here. This wasn't even a game I had high hopes would be any good in the first place and I didn't see the point in trying to get this one to work. Maybe it works for others, but it didn't work for me. Hey, I at least tried and took a chance on this. Sometimes, unexpected things like this happen and the end results isn't what I would hope. Oh well, on to the next game I guess.
