The latest installment in the series is Call of Duty Modern Warfare and Warzone 2. The former is a reboot of the much-acclaimed 2009 classic, with the same name. It is the nineteenth installment in the series. Meanwhile, Warzone 2 is a free-to-play multiplayer FPS with Battle Royal modes. It was promised that the games are separate entities and fans don’t need to have both of them to play each. 

But the players are reporting something else. According to the community, there is a bug that is forcing the players to buy MW2 to keep enjoying the free-to-play Warzone 2. Many players are facing this issue as the internet is filling with complaints.

According to the reports, there is a bug in the menus that makes a pop-up window appear saying, “Purchase Modern Warfare 2 to have access to everything.” After this, the game doesn’t respond anymore, locking the players on this screen. Even restarting doesn’t help with the issue. 

What did fans say about this bug? 

A Reddit user shed light on the issue by publishing a post on the platform. They wrote, “when I click Battle Royale Solos I get the “Purchase Modern Warfare II to have access to everything” window”. That post ignited the fanbase as other users also poured in to report the same issue they are facing.
