By Encountering issues? Here’s how to resolve them

Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 arrives on Xbox Game Pass today – offering a narrative campaign, cooperative play, and competitive multiplayer. However, MWII is integrated within the larger ‘Call of Duty’ application, and the installation process is not particularly straightforward.
Although the Call of Duty core game, MWII cooperative mode, and MWII multiplayer installations can be easily accessed on your Xbox console, the campaign mode may inexplicably be absent from the installation options. This is because, for some unknown reason, you need to manually locate an Xbox Store ‘Campaign Pack’ in order for the campaign mode to appear for installation.
Here’s the simplest method to rectify this and start playing the Modern Warfare 2 campaign on Xbox Game Pass:
Note: this procedure will only be effective once the game is actively available on Xbox Game Pass or if you have purchased it outright.
- Log into your Microsoft account on the Xbox website.
- Click this Campaign Pack 1 link and add it to your wishlist.
- Navigate to the Xbox Store on your console and access your wishlist.
- Press ‘Get’ on the Modern Warfare 2 Campaign Pack.
- You can either install the pack from here or return to Call of Duty’s ‘Manage game’ section to locate the MWII campaign pack.
- Once installed along with the ‘Call of Duty’ core game, you will be able to engage in the Modern Warfare 2 campaign.
As mentioned when the game first debuted in late 2022, Modern Warfare 2 offers an outstanding campaign experience, ranking alongside last year’s Black Ops 6 as two of the finest COD campaigns in recent times. Sorting this out and giving it a try is definitely worthwhile!
