Call of Duty Games Released as Standalone Downloads

As of 9 AM PT on July 29, Activision has made a significant move by allowing players to download Modern Warfare 2 and Modern Warfare 3 as standalone titles. This decision follows growing public demand to eliminate the need for the much-maligned Call of Duty HQ launcher, which has caused frustrations among players since its release.

Key Points:

• Activision’s Announcement: Activision confirmed that players who own either MWII or MWIII can access these titles directly by redownloading them.
• Storage Space Management: In a subsequent update, the company specified that legacy content for these games would be automatically removed on August 7, freeing up valuable storage space for gamers.
• Future Plans: There are hints that this change may mark a shift in how Activision handles its game launchers, especially with the anticipated release of Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 later this year.

This development is being viewed positively, as it allows players greater flexibility and ease of access to popular titles in the franchise.
