This is very different from the Activision of just a few years ago where players could purchase a special edition of Modern Warfare (2019) which contained disc with the full campaign and night-vision goggles.Įurogamer has asked Activision for comment. The publisher is already incentivising digital pre-orders to gain early-access to the campaign and to purchase the special "vault" edition. Unfortunately, this appears to be part of an emerging strategy by Activision to move away from physical releases. Game preservationists also criticise such moves as it prevents players from keeping a hard copy of the single-player campaign long after Sony and Microsoft have shut down their servers. And this doesn't even consider the environmental impact of potentially millions of consoles left on for a download, or the production of millions of discs with no functional use without an internet connection. Moreover, with the cost-of-living crisis afflicting much of Europe, the necessity to keep a console on at idle just to download data can become a costly affair. Whether getting the drop by using the newly activated subway or crashing the gates in the Armored Royale limited-time mode, one thing is clear: Be ready for a fight. Indeed, this tends to be the primary reason players may opt for a physical copy of a game. The newest season of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare and Warzone brings an arsenal of content and a whole lot of trouble for Zakhaev. Such dummy discs have come under severe criticism, as it places the burden on the player to obtain the rest of the game through the internet, which can be a slow and expensive process for those with low internet speeds and data caps.
