Call of Duty: Warzone 2 Bug Locks Players Out, Advices Modern Warfare 2 Purchase

A nasty new Call of Duty: Warzone 2 glitch is not only locking players out of the experience, but then asks them to purchase Modern Warfare 2.

The latest Call of Duty: Warzone glitch not only locks players out of the free to play experience, but then requires that they purchase Modern Warfare 2 to gain access. So far, fans have seemingly taken to the new Warzone 2 experience, with the updated Gulag mechanics, multiple safe zones, as well as just exploring the map of Al Mazrah in general. However, its launch has seen a number of issues pop up, which is to be expected for an online only game such as this.

Players have seen a variety of glitches and bugs already including a Fetching Online Profile party invite bug, which has since gotten a workaround solution. Some of the bigger bugs are still a work in progress, such as one that instantly kills Warzone players instead of allowing them to go into a downed state to be revived. The latest bug fans have come across is particularly nasty and is proving to be a big game breaking experience for many trying to enjoy the game.

Following a recent update, Call of Duty: Warzone 2 players have begun noticing a glitch that is quickly becoming widespread. After playing several matches, a pop-up window suddenly appears with a message telling the player to “Purchase Modern Warfare 2 to have access to everything.” While that may seem like a simple way for Activision to try and push for more sales, the game won’t start after the message is dismissed, essentially locking players out completely.

Players have attempted to find a workaround, including restarting the game, though to this point nothing has worked. Unfortunately, some players have taken the advice and purchased Modern Warfare 2, even though both games are considered different experiences. Regardless, purchasing MW2 has not resolved the issue either. At the time of this article, Raven, Infinity Ward, or Activision have not acknowledged the issue, and it has yet to appear on the Raven Software’s Trello board of known issues. However, considering how widespread an issue this is rapidly becoming, it stands to reason that a fix will quickly become priority.
