Modern Warfare 2 went live on October 28, 2022, and fans couldn’t keep their excitement content. They were finally happy to get access to this exciting title, as they had manifested it for years. However, their smiles faded away in seconds as the servers crashed right after release. Multiple users reported this issue, posting photos, videos, and updates about the same. 

As a result, Activision and Infinity Ward instantly addressed the issue, promising a solution soon. But users were still not content about it, starting another controversy against them. They claimed that the franchise did an injustice to the masses as the content creators could play the game bug-free. Their statements were fair, as the most anticipated game of the year led to disappointment at the start.
