Activision issues warning about changing regions to gain early access

Please be aware that Activision has sent out a warning about changing your region in order to access the game early. Doing so can lock players out of the game until the official launch in their region. 

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 launch time

Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 will launch on November 16 alongside the DMZ and Battle Royale modes as well as Modern Warfare II Season 1. Warzone 2.0 will kick off with a new Al Mazrah map while the DMZ is a new game mode that will be available for Call of Duty players. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II Vault Edition players will get access to the Battle Pass for free and will be able to skip 50 Tiers right at the start. 

Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer launch patch 

There have been several changes made to the multiplayer game modes of Call of Duty Modern Warfare II ahead of the launch. These changes were made based on the feedback received during the beta phase. Changes to enemy visibility and third-person were made while some weapons were tweaked. Movement and matchmaking along with audio and UI have also been improved with this new Modern Warfare 2 multiplayer launch patch. Players can find all the changes made on the official patch note. 

Modern Warfare 2’s physical disc edition allegedly has only 70MB data

Modern Warfare 2’s physical disc edition apparently only has just 70MB data, as claimed by Does It Play. They’re a social media account that tests physical video games so as to confirm if they can be completely played offline or not. 

If that turns out to be true, Modern Warfare 2’s disc would be taking up less than 1% of the store on a standard PS5 which has 100GB of storage. Players would then have to download almost the entire game in order to play. For obvious reasons, it’s a move that comes with criticism. The tweet below sums up the situation.
