My COD MW2 won't get off the press a to start screen?

This will depend on you, but if you would like to play the game campaign, you'll need to download the whole game.

Hi, I hope you're doing great out there. I am an Independent advisor and I am here to help you in regard to your concern.

Will you be playing the game online multiplayer or single-player campaign?

If you will be playing the game online, please make sure that you have an active Xbox Live Gold subscription by following the steps below:

Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide, and then select System > Settings > Account > Subscriptions.

If you will be playing the game single player campaign, please follow the steps below:

Settings > General > Network Settings > Go Offline > Launch the game.

If I don't have Xbox game pass and I didn't download the campaign would I have to refund the game?

Did you uninstall and reinstall the game? I get how frustrating it is as I was dealing with the same issue and Xbox Customer Support told me it was “a publisher issue” (Activision). I reached out to them as well with no response as of yet..

Trying to think I of all things I tried:

-uninstall & reinstall

-clear cache (hold Xbox button on console for 10sec until shuts off - let sit for 1 min- restart)

-router reset

-punched myself in the face

-hard reset (keeping games)

Fortunately the hard reset worked for me but I would note that if the game is messed up, that won’t work. So I would do the uninstall and reinstall first.

Still hasnt worked as of 10:45 pm PST 12/22/22. Followed every step and then some. Reset console, uninstalled and re-installed. Restarted and powred off console. The game I ust bought for $70 is unplayable.
