Xbox One Users Say Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Is Bricking Consoles

4
The anticipation for Infinity Ward's reboot of one of the greatest Call of Duty entries in franchise history has not been perfect for the developer, and now Activision is having to deal with some big issues that are plaguing Xbox One players. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare launched with major server errors that prevented players from accessing the online features, arguably the biggest draw of the series, and now they're facing an issue that could brick consoles for some players. Infinity Ward is aware of the issue, but it's not clear when the game will be safe to play.

According to the Subreddit dedicated to Modern Warfare, the developer is currently working on a fix and issued the following statement:

"We have identified an issue that is affecting some players on Xbox One X. Players affected are experiencing crashes. We are working with Microsoft to address the issue. We genuinely can’t thank you all enough for providing us with your ongoing feedback this launch, every bit of information helps. Stand by for more updates on this issue soon, and thank you for your patience and your help while we work towards a solution."


There have been responses to the post with claims of Modern Warfare bricking Xbox consoles, though these claims have yet to be verified. While the game might freeze and the console might become unresponsive, one user named Jason--Todd said that this specific outcome is unlikely.

"Because most people don't even try to hard reset their xbox," they wrote. "No game in recent memory has EVER bricked a console, despite people claiming it for Anthem and Borderlands 3. The game would literally have to somehow delete the console OS or overheat it beyond the safety settings built into the motherboard itself."


At this point, it's probably safer for Xbox One players to steer clear of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for the time being, especially until Infinity Ward rolls out a fix for these issues. This is the second major issue to plague the launch weekend of the game, as server outages prevented fans from playing online earlier.

sus Damn, just shows how garbage this game really is.


Shoes how garbage XBOX really is. There. Fixed it for you.


So it's Microsoft's problem that the developer had software that didn't run properly on it? Seems like something a PS4 user would say.


Can't we all just get along and realize we're all gamers with our different preferences? Some people pay 300 bucks to play, some pay 400, some pay a grand and up, but at the end of the day, we're all gamers, with our strengths and weaknesses.

Just because the PS4 doesn't feel right in my man-sized hands and I have an Xbox doesn't mean a PS4 player can't absolutely destroy me, or vice versa, same goes for PC, I play PC and Xbox and I still don't understand the whole console war. If it really was an actual factor, PC beats them all in terms of performance, backwards compatibility, doing more than just games, basically the whole list, but that doesn't matter, so we should quit bickering about it and just play the console we're comfortable with and let our skills do the talking.

It's crazy how people are still religious about console wars in 2019. Just enjoy gaming on whatever platform you want. I own all consoles and each one has it's pros and cons.


As crossplay becomes more common nowadays. I don't even argue about what gaming platform is better because at the end of the day it comes down to skill. I'm an Xbox players destroying PC and PS4 players on CoD.

Shame really, incredible game. But there are a few issues they need to fix.

LoodPosted:

This game has MAJOR issues on every platform. It's a shame really. The best CoD gameplay wise to come out in many years, cross platform, and an incredible campaign and yet all of these issues.
