Activision Decouples Modern Warfare II and III From COD HQ Launcher

The separation frees up hundreds of gigabytes of player storage ahead of Black Ops 7.

Overview

  • Activision removed Modern Warfare II and Modern Warfare III from the COD HQ launcher at 9 am PT on July 29, making both titles available only as standalone downloads that must be redownloaded.
  • All legacy content related to MWII and MWIII modes within the main launcher will be automatically purged on August 7 to reclaim an estimated 300 GB of storage.
  • Operators and weapon skins from Modern Warfare II and III will continue to function in Warzone without interruption.
  • Splitting the games has unlocked separate achievement and trophy lists, earning praise from completionists for improved access.
  • The move clears space in the COD HQ launcher for the expected Black Ops 7 beta and full launch later this year.
