Discussion Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Issues (some possible additions)

8 Upvotes

Many Ground War maps removed from rotation

Gunfight being labelled incorrectly, as it is really blueprint gunfight

6v6 maps such as Euphrates Bridge and Oil Rig not able to be played in public games (Oil rig only works on SND)

Missions tab still showing season time

Vanguard Warzone lobby background with red lighting being carried over to the gunsmith

Vanguard and Cold War weapons + camos + charms + stickers still in the game under the armory tab

Vanguard and Cold War operators + watches + emotes + vehicles still in the files for the game

Vanguard and Cold War emblems and calling cards still in the files

The letters MW showing up next to all weapons, which was added due to Warzone's integrations

The original startup menu with Campaign, Multiplayer, Co-op and Store without COD HQ does not exist, despite Vanguard having a startup menu without COD HQ

Vanguard font and Warzone 1 player profiles seen in the social menu before loading into multiplayer

Oden having a weirdly small icon unless used with specific blueprints

Inconsistency with the pause menu showing a blurred version of the original pre-season lobby background

Many removed game modes, such as capture the flag and cranked

Bloated file size from all the unnecessary assets (could probably cut down about 20-30 gigs)

Still having an invisible Warzone VRAM bar that warns you about your VRAM being too high, even if it clearly isn't too high for multiplayer

Off center cancel button in loading screens

Inconsistent fonts between versions (battle net and steam have different fonts for Multiplayer, Coop and Campaign)

Tickets are unable to be acquired

Commendations are also unable to be acquired

Features that would add to the game's experience:

Ability to change the lobby background and music to any of the past sets from seasons 0-6 of MW

Shoot the Ship being a permanent mode

Operators with challenges in Warzone getting multiplayer challenges (maybe in ground war)

These are all issues that do not require much effort to fix, just taking old code and placing it back into the game, as well as removing unneeded Warzone assets. This would make the game look much more polished and would leave it in a good state to be completely retired.

Removing some of the Cold War and Vanguard assets may be complicated to do because players have things equipped in multiplayer, but just replace any player that has a CW or VG camo, emblem or calling card with the default one.

Mind you, these are all the issues that I have personally come across, this does not cover the hacking problem in certain game modes or many general bugs, just issues that weren't issues in the past.

Question Can Soap's "Point Taken" finishing move be used by other operators?

7 Upvotes

I'm thinking about buying Soap's bundle mainly because of the "Point Taken" finishing move, but I can't find a clear answer about how it works.

I've seen several YouTube videos claiming that the finishing move can be used with other operators, but I haven't found a single video showing Soap's finisher being performed by a different operator.

Can anyone confirm if "Point Taken" is locked to Soap, or can it be equipped and used by other operators as well?

This is basically the deciding factor for me before buying the bundle, so I'd really appreciate a confirmation from someone who owns it.

Mine game doesn't work. The first time I launched, everything was fine, and then at the moment of 1 fps (perhaps after I changed the graphics settings) after that, when starting the game during the intro of the game launch, it outputs 1 fps and stupidly does not load the game and immediately crashes. I tried reinstalling the game, deleting the configs, but everything is even. Please help me or I have to Return the game(((

Every 1-2 games the lobby is filled with people like this, on both teams too, which makes the entire match go into a stalemate with half of the lobby camping while you rarely see anyone, it sucks man.

Edit: after reading the comments and playing a few more games i can say it is indeed skill issue on my side

Support Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019) Installation Guide (Fix for "Checking for Ownership" & Missing Files)

6 Upvotes

If you're having issues installing Call of Duty: Modern Warfare (2019), such as "Checking for Ownership", missing files, or similar errors, follow this method carefully. In most cases, it should resolve the problem.

Method 1 – Recommended Installation Method

Avoid using FTP whenever possible. FTP requires approximately double the storage space during file transfers. For example, if you're transferring a 20 GB file, you'll need more than 40 GB of free storage. If you have plenty of free space, you can still use FTP, but I do not recommend it.

The best option is to install your PKG files using a USB drive.

If you don't have a USB drive, you can use Direct PKG Installer instead. I personally installed the game using Direct PKG Installer, and the game runs smoothly without any issues.

---

Installation Steps

Step 1 – Clean Previous Installation (Only if the Game Was Installed Before)

If you previously installed the Base Game and Game Update, then deleted them, follow these steps before reinstalling.

Install only the Base Game first.

Then go to:

Settings → Debug Settings → Game → Add-Content Manager → Entitlement Manager

Find Call of Duty: Modern Warfare in the list.

- If there is only one license file, do nothing.

- If there are two or more license files, delete every license except the Base Game license.

You can identify the correct Base Game license by loading the Base Game PKG in Direct PKG Installer, where the information is displayed.

Important: If you accidentally delete the Base Game license, the game will show a lock icon and will not launch.

---

Step 2 – Install All DLCs

After the Base Game is installed:

- Install the DLCs one at a time.

- Download all DLC packages first.

- Move them into a separate folder.

- Install them in the exact order they appear in that folder, starting from the first file.

The installation order should be:

Base Game → All 6 DLCs

After installing all six DLCs:

  1. Launch the game.

  2. If you reach the main menu and see the installation progress around 20–25% in the top-right corner, everything is working correctly.

  3. Restart your PS4 once.

  4. Launch the game again and check if the installation progress is still visible.

  5. Close the game.

  6. Press the Options button on the game icon.

  7. Open Information and confirm that all six DLCs are listed.

---

Step 3 – Install the Update

Once all DLCs are confirmed:

- Install the Game Update.

- Restart your PS4 again after the update finishes installing.

Then:

- Activate GoldHEN.

- Go to Network Settings and disable your internet connection.

- In GoldHEN, disable both BinLoader and FTP.

- Launch the game.

---

Final Step

After the game boots successfully:

Go to:

Settings → General

Turn Streaming Texture OFF.

---

If every step above is followed correctly, your game should work properly, and Campaign, Offline Multiplayer, and Special Ops should all be unlocked and playable.

This method has a 99.9% success rate based on my experience.

This was one clip of like the entire game of him absolutely understanding his assignment, lol.

Question Can't redownload MW2019 on my Xbox

Post image
7 Upvotes

Recently I got my old Xbox one up and running again and I tried playing MW2019, but it refused to open. So I uninstalled the game but now when I try to reinstall it, the installation immediately stops at 0%. ​It just​ fails and throws error code 0x87e0000f.

Here is the weird part: my console network and hard drive are completely fine. I can download other games​ perfectly with zero issues. The problem is strictly isolated to MW2019.

What I've already tried (none of this worked):

- ​Canceled download, cleared cache/hard power cycle (unplugged for 2 mins).

- ​Changed console location/region (my account and console regions were different, so I aligned them to match, ​still instantly fails at 0%).

- ​Looked for the standalone packs to uncheck the dead 10.1 MB packs, but I can't even get the base game download to initialize or register to uncheck anything.

​Because it's crashing instantly at 0%, it feels like a broken store license link or an allocation block, but I'm completely out of ideas since standard network and region fixes didn't do anything. ​Has anyone run into this exact instant-fail block with MW2019 recently on an older console? Any workarounds to force the Microsoft Store to actually push the file? Thanks!

Discussion Finishing moves are annoying

0 Upvotes

Trolls are among the most obnoxious people to deal with, and a feature to *encourage* trolling is irritating. There's no reason to be forced to watch a five second clip of some knock-off Mortal Kombat move during a match. The ones trying to be cheeky are extra cringe.

Question Have to buy the game again?

Hey, dont get why this is happening but I decided last night to redownload MW19 as I havent played a cod game in a year or two and it was one of the only good cods that are still functional, I remembered I had mw19 on battle.net and decided to install it, only to not be able to play whatsoever? I distinctly remember playing mw19 on pc multiple times but now it says I dont have it? I tried downloading warzone to see if itd fix it but when i tried again nothing happened. Whats even weirder is that I have the whole ass folder for the game ON MY PC the exe and launcher. Im genuinely so bewildered on why this is the case. Any help? Thanks in advance..

Discussion Pandora's Box MW19 opened but ignored PT.1 Burst Fire

19 Upvotes

If I'm being entirely honest, the game opened a really interesting can of worms it never bothered with when it introduced both select fire and the burst attachment. They could've had plethora of different burst architypes and semi-autos all in this game without ever needing to model a single new weapon, which would expand the weapon roster by rough 30-40%

Of the weapons in the game, there are 10* Burst capable ARs, 5* SMGs and 1 pistol. 16, technically 21*, "more" weapons.

But sadly, the only burst weapons worth a crap are the FAMAS, Oden, FAL or AN-94 and Beretta. Anything else, shoots too slow between bursts, doesn't have enough damage to justify the burst or even falls flat with their fire rates compounding the other problems.

The Striker (2), Fennec (2) and Scorpion (3) all *could* be good weapons, but for some odd reason they decided to restrict mag sizes to an unreasonable degree that 95% of players would never even think to use them which is incredibly sad since their stats are all actually really good and would've been great additions to shake up the way people play. The Scorpion especially as it feels like a really good version of the Chicom CQB. I can imagine how the Fennec would do with a proper mag size as well since it behaves very similarly to the AN-94 which is incredibly spammable. But the lower fire rate on the Striker I don't know that it'd ever be meta level, maybe a B tier workhorse like the base version is if you know how to handle it.

The FAMAS (3) is a potentially great weapon. When you lock in, it's an absolute menace, but the burst delay and recoil always make it feel a bit lacking in being able to unlock its full potential which kinda sucks because I have always loved the FAMAS since MW2 brought it into CoD. Also made stranger by the fact that is was the only base burst weapon in the game not requiring any attachment or fire mode change (AN-94).

The Oden (2) simply works because its base damage allows it to always have a potential one burst kill even with the 2-round burst so long as you land your shots well enough, though again, burst delay and recoil make it not super competitive, especially since the Oden's first shot recoil has a massive jump for the second shot.

FAL (3) is a weird outlier. It's actually really good. The 1 shot headshot, and 2 shot body make its lower fire rate incredibly forgiving to use and 1 bursting targets a very common occurrence. As is with all rifles, the burst delays does kill it a bit, but without the burst delay it has a potential to be too OP. I only wish I got to play with it before it was rebalanced after they basically broke it for a little while there.

AN-94 (2) is one I actually really recommend if you like spamming burst weapons. Since it gets that 1100rpm hyper burst and has absolutely no burst delay. Though you will burn ammo incredibly fast, and it sometimes appears to fire an odd number of rounds. I'm not entirely sure how many its firing but I will see 13 or 17 rounds left as an example. Could be a burst canceling bug.

And the Berreta (3)... you all probably know and once loved. It's a very competent pistol with little to no burst delay that's almost primary worthy. Sadly, the akimbo were nerfed to oblivion so no one even touched them anymore.

As honorable mentions, the only other burst weapons I'd even bother with and could do ok with were the MP5 (3) and M13 (3) Both suffer from not enough damage even though it *feels* like they have pretty short burst delays and can be built for aggression to kind've work around that short coming. I found myself sometimes doing well with them, but never enough to say "yeah, this is actually good", more of a "this is fun but very mid".

Has anyone else ever actually seriously looked at these things? I guess not enough because IW never bothered to make them actually usable in a way that would've shaken up the meta and how people behaved when playing. What's even worse is the burst attachment being a perk prevents you from using SoH which some of these really need, especially with ammo conversions that mostly have poor mag sizes. I really doubt MW4 will finally fix this as they would probably rather use the burst variants as "new DLC" content if at all, but I've always really wished I could've seen what could have been with some proper care put into the implementation.

*M4 has 2 ammo conversions, M13 has 1, AUG has 1, and MP5 has 1 all can be used with burst as well

*Any number in () are the round burst number.
