- ChrisAWJBethel4 years agoSeasoned Ace@tyl0413 You have to be online to play the Campaign for Modern Warfare?? Are you playing on console?
- tyl04134 years agoSeasoned Veteran@ChrisAWJBethel Console can play Modern Warfare and Black Ops Cold War offline, PC version is always online though, can't even launch the game without a connection, if you lose connection while playing you get kicked from the game.
- ChrisAWJBethel4 years agoSeasoned Ace@tyl0413 I strongly suggest you buy Call of Duty for console. It fully supports offline play and is therefore the superior experience.
- tyl04134 years agoSeasoned Veteran@ChrisAWJBethel Got it free with my graphics card so can't complain too much, i wouldn't pay for an always online game. It's one of the few forms of DRM i can not tolerate.
@tyl0413 I was in the same situation. I received the code fo MW 2019 bundled with a graphics card. Not only was I unable to play for days but even if I did manage to get to the main menu and start a mission, if I got disconnected for a fraction of a second then it would kick me out of the game and I would lose all my progress.
I can think of nothing worse for a game than "always online".
Also I will never buy another CoD. Activision lets console players play offline but treats all PC players like they're thieves enforcing always on DRM on all of their titles, even single player ones.
- @Strelok_1284 Always online is one of the most unneeded thing we got in modern gaming and not only does it hurt player's enjoyment of the game it draws some questionable practices into play. I see you already experienced it as did others, myself included.
I think we at least need something like battlefield 4 has with the firing range, its somewhere that you can use to tweak your settings and get used to each weapons recoil freely
we need this as it give us and other players i.e. new players the chance to improve or start off so that they can get better at the game but also so that it's a break away from the online world
- ChrisAWJBethel4 years agoSeasoned Ace@Strelok_1284 Wow. That sucks. But I would suggest not swearing off CoD (even though you're completely right to), but instead to emulate what we're doing here in this thread and petition for full offline play on PC. I also recommend buying CoD for console.
- ChrisAWJBethel4 years agoSeasoned Ace@bishtop That's a good idea, but it's not enough. There needs to be an (offline) test range along with an offline version of Battlefield multiplayer with bots (and splitscreen) so players can fully enjoy the game.
