New COD Modern Warfare Password Issue

JustWantToPlay# · Mar 6, 2020

Hello Gamers,

I am at my wits end just trying to simply play the game. Can someone help before the game disc ends up in my shredder?

After months of not playing anything, I switched on the Xbox One a few weeks back to play the new COD Modern Warfare. I only ever play campaign mode. I'm not interested in multiplayer, online Xbox Live or whatever it's called. Very simple.

Problem #1: Massive Xbox One update required that I didn't ask for and didn't want. 3 hours wasted.

Problem #2: I had to install the game (so what's the point of having the disc?). About an hour wasted.

Problem #3: Massive update required to a game I hadn't even played. 2 hours wasted. I gave up.

Problem #4: Several days later I tried again. Another massive update to a game I still hadn't played. An hour wasted.

Problem #5: Finally I get to set the screen size, choose audio settings, etc. Then I'm forced to create an Activision account! Why? OMG!!!

Problem #6: Then I'm forced to provide the password to my MS email account because apparently I'm trying to access "sensitive info". I'm not making this up. Absolutely furious, I did this one time and finally got the see the game. Played for about 10 minutes
and quit.

So today I decide to carry on. After firing up the game I'm being asked for my MS email password again. This is insane. It's like I have to ask permission to play a video game in my own home. I'm in my 50s FFS. I will NOT be dictated to by MS, an Xbox or
a video game.

There has got to be a way to turn this password requirement off. Can someone tell me what it is before I put my foot through the TV, set fire to the Xbox and shred the game disc? Thanks!!

:)

Thanks for your reply, schnurren. I do appreciate it very much.

I've been into those settings and everything is set to not ask me anything when I turn on the Xbox. There are no other profiles setup on my Xbox One. It's just me, so it should be dead simple. When it powers up it says hello and signs me into something (I
have no idea what). Maybe Xbox Live, but I don't know what that is. As I mentioned, I don't do anything online/multiplayer. I just want to slap a disc in and start shooting things 30 seconds later. I could on the 360. The Xbox One has made that impossible.

This password **** does not happen with any other game, just the new COD. So logically, it must be something to do with the game rather than the settings of the console itself. If I'm reading between the lines correctly, I think you might be implying this
password challenge is not a normal part of playing the game. Is that correct? As a casual FPS gamer, I should not have to type in a password every time I want to play a game. That is beyond unacceptable.

Thanks!

Hello JustWantToPlay#,

For the install question, consoles disc drivers are very slow while reading from this, and that is why the games needs to be installed in the hard drive.

For the pasword question, it seems you have some policy in place that will ask you for it at every thing you do.

Please read this FAQ were you can find more info regarding that : https://beta.support.xbox.com/help/account-profile/signin-security/change-signin-preferences

I literally just bit the bullet and went all in for the CoD: Modern Warfare Operator Enhanced edition.

I'm actually not a huge fan of the COD B04 unrealistic nature of the game, but MW looks amazing.

Fingers crossed.

Here's a link breaking down the different CoD:

Quite a lot to choose from, but the new COD : Modern Warfar would be rather nice as a freebie
