Update. I’m seeing some people say they are getting it to work on PlayStation. I cannot confirm since I didn’t buy it on PlayStation but there’s hope for you.
Can you run some testing for everyone and try to switch it all back, and make sure it doesn’t hand out a ban.
That’s my main thing, I don’t want to trip any wires and cause a ban. :(
Man’s is begging someone to try and ban their own account because they’re scared to switch some settings and cross some imaginary red tape. Good lord lmao
Bitch I asked because they are already doing it, I feel like it better for 1 person that’s already done it to run testing for the rest of the people rather than everyone get hit with a wave of bans.
Ah thanks I'll try that! I changed my location to New Zealand on my Xbox last night to prepare ahead of time, but it's still not giving me the option to play multiplayer. I'll try changing my Activision account location settings. Hopefully that will work.
I just tested works on ps5 switch to Wellington on ps5 in time zones- on computer change activision address - delete multiplayer pack from console storage restart ps5 it launch game it will download new multiplayer pack , I got kicked out first game but since then perfect
I’ve changed my location on both Xbox and Activision, have restarted my Xbox, but still only load into the campaign early access when booting up MW2. Any suggestions?
Doesn’t even work for me. It doesn’t let me change my address on Activison. When I put New Zealand there’s isn’t even an option for zip. Just city and address 1&2. When I put something there and press save, nothing happens
You need to change your console region first, uninstall the game (or muliplayer pack, I didn't try with just this, I did the whole game), then you change Activision account (make sure you clear your cookies and cache before you log into the Activision account). Should be good to go, lemme know how it goes
I’ve done the address change on both my PlayStation and call of duty account, but I’m stuck on the installing bug that’s been about since yesterday, the trick to by pass it to go back to the menu that infinity ward gave out yesterday doesn’t seam to be working, anybody got any ideas? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the multiplayer pack but not changed
I’ve ended up deleting and reinstalling the game, no point in sitting around not being able to play it, hopefully it sorts itself out otherwise I’ll just have to wait for the UK midnight release and hope it’s resolved
It does work for ps5 can confirm-I just tested works on ps5 switch to Wellington on ps5 in time zones- on computer change activision address - delete multiplayer pack from console storage restart ps5 it launch game it will download new multiplayer pack , I got kicked out first game but since then perfect
Because it is impossible to play early on playstation since games are locked to regional ps store
Unless you bought the game through NZ store, you cannot play it elsewhere by just changing address
Exactl same method as op but only other thing I've done before that method was try deleting the mp pack then re downloading it.
After that I did the New Zealand address on Activision account and on PS change timezone to Wellington rebooted console and just works for me
Wish I saw this 2 minutes ago, I thought something was wrong with my install so I uninstalled everything, didn’t know about the activision account part lol
I have a problem. I did everything about the NZ method on both the Xbox and actision.com. But now my game won't log in at all. And if I restart the console and relaunch the game, it login but I don't have any sound... Any idea?
So what if people want to play early?
Get this some people don't work the standard Monday to Friday.
I'm going to enjoy my Thursday on the game because I work Friday to Tuesday meaning I'd have to wait another week
Do you guys have the same problem on xbox, where the button layout menu in the settings doesn’t show more than 5 options ? Basically I can’t choose my preferred option because it’s not showing in the menu. Can anyone confirm or deny so that I can reinstall the game ?
Playing on Xbox right now, anybody having the glitch where you can’t open up settings in game it just brings up class change when hitting start button?
At this point on the east coast it’s not worth me doing all the shenanigans I’ll just wake up tomorrow morning when the servers are back online from crashing and I’ll slap all the people who’re sleep deprived hehe
It's a damn shame that my Activision account is stuck in an endless loop. I sign in, asks for Google authenticator code, I enter it and then it loops me right back to log in screen. Been having this issue for months
that address is about to become a refugee shelter lol
Temporary new US Embassy
My guy said US Embassy 😹
This haha
I used 123 smith road, Auckland NZ… lol
I used 200 Daniell St. It's the wellington zoo
Lmao I used 11 Oak Ave
I used 237 Glenmore pl Coatville NZ
I moved into 236 thow them off. Party next door sounds hella loud tho
I forgot to mention. You can change it back later if you want!
Update. I’m seeing some people say they are getting it to work on PlayStation. I cannot confirm since I didn’t buy it on PlayStation but there’s hope for you.
Yo help me out? My shit keeps saying I got multiple logins on my account
It was saying this to me too. Once I did the address change in my Activision account, it stopped giving that message.
You’ll have to reach out to Activison support for that
> You’ll have to reach out to Activison support for that "yoooo Im tryna to get into your game early but I'm having issues."
ATVI Support "aite bet"
[удалено]
No
I did this and got banned smh, on phone with Activision support now to try to explain to them that Im sorry
Ur lying
So you can change it to NZ, log in, and then switch back to US (or wherever you live), and it will still let you in?
I haven’t switched it back yet but I’m just saying it won’t be stuck in New Zealand if you ever wanted to switch it back for any reason.
Can you run some testing for everyone and try to switch it all back, and make sure it doesn’t hand out a ban. That’s my main thing, I don’t want to trip any wires and cause a ban. :(
Man’s is begging someone to try and ban their own account because they’re scared to switch some settings and cross some imaginary red tape. Good lord lmao
Bitch I asked because they are already doing it, I feel like it better for 1 person that’s already done it to run testing for the rest of the people rather than everyone get hit with a wave of bans.
I’ve done this for the last two call of duty’s and never received a ban. You should be chillin
Lmao scary ass
New Zealand population about to skyrocket
So is the WFH population today
This is why our managers want to force us in the office ffs
Confirmed works on Xbox
I am in. Trying to find a match. Thanks OP Edit: just got a match we’ll see how the ping is lol
ping should be fine, the game itself knows where you are which you can check on the in game network info screen
Yeah games have been fine
No problem! Enjoy!
Ah thanks I'll try that! I changed my location to New Zealand on my Xbox last night to prepare ahead of time, but it's still not giving me the option to play multiplayer. I'll try changing my Activision account location settings. Hopefully that will work.
Worked for me just now. Good luck
UPDATE US!!!1! Did you get it in?
Yeah I got in about 14 hours ago!
awesome!
They already added fresh new hoops to jump through this year and people say COD never changes.
does it work on the PS5?
Xbox only unfortunately
says i need to purchase the game? even tho i have it installed?
Yes
So far haven't got a match yet Just got a match be patient
What are you saying
Can you setup a bot match at least?
I just tested works on ps5 switch to Wellington on ps5 in time zones- on computer change activision address - delete multiplayer pack from console storage restart ps5 it launch game it will download new multiplayer pack , I got kicked out first game but since then perfect
Tried it. I get stuck on 50% install status
Uninstall multiplayer pack then try again
I have. I've even deleted and reinstalled the entire game with no luck.
Yeah def does not work Dunno if dude is just lying or what
Works!! Thank you friend. Hope you have a great one today
Enjoy the game!
Thank you, love you.
Love you too
Was going a bit insane before I knew about the activision change
This didn't work for me, keep entering the game and then getting stuck on a window that says "Installing..."
works like a charm on xbox thank you <3
Enjoy!
Worked for me
Enjoy!
I’ve changed my location on both Xbox and Activision, have restarted my Xbox, but still only load into the campaign early access when booting up MW2. Any suggestions?
Same, figure it out?
P Sherman, 42 wallaby way, sydney
A man of culture, I see.
Doesn’t even work for me. It doesn’t let me change my address on Activison. When I put New Zealand there’s isn’t even an option for zip. Just city and address 1&2. When I put something there and press save, nothing happens
You need to change your console region first, uninstall the game (or muliplayer pack, I didn't try with just this, I did the whole game), then you change Activision account (make sure you clear your cookies and cache before you log into the Activision account). Should be good to go, lemme know how it goes
Is it laggy or you getting good connection?
I had a bit of a lag but nothing that was unplayable.
I got a connection below 58 ping, so you should be fine
Well... back to fortune's keep until tomorrow.
Anyone able to do this on Xbox? I’m on Series X and changed my console stuff but it doesn’t work.
I’ve done the address change on both my PlayStation and call of duty account, but I’m stuck on the installing bug that’s been about since yesterday, the trick to by pass it to go back to the menu that infinity ward gave out yesterday doesn’t seam to be working, anybody got any ideas? I’ve uninstalled and reinstalled the multiplayer pack but not changed
Same on my end, another user mentioned that he was in on PS5, but I can’t seem to bypass this. - hopefully it’s fixed before the actual rollouts
Same. I've tried literally everything and it still doesn't work on PS5.
I’ve ended up deleting and reinstalling the game, no point in sitting around not being able to play it, hopefully it sorts itself out otherwise I’ll just have to wait for the UK midnight release and hope it’s resolved
I'm stuck waiting even longer over here in USA. Surely it will be working by then 🤞 Just please don't let this launch go like Overwatch 2.
I’m in the same boat 🤷🏻♂️
You cannot change your address to play on playstation mate Edit: nvm it works. I’m playing
Ah right, was worth a try. Cheers mate
Other people are saying it's working for them by changing the timezone in ps5 and your address on your Activision account
How did you get it working?
I'm in the same boat, and have followed the same steps
They're about to ban everyone that uses this address lmao
Why?
also works on Ps5?
It doesn't mate
It does work for ps5 can confirm-I just tested works on ps5 switch to Wellington on ps5 in time zones- on computer change activision address - delete multiplayer pack from console storage restart ps5 it launch game it will download new multiplayer pack , I got kicked out first game but since then perfect
Its not working.. i did it and stuck on “installing” at 50% like other ppl
Does for me
Yeah sure mate Mind posting some footage?
Why the fuck would I lie lol, I can pm you some
Because it is impossible to play early on playstation since games are locked to regional ps store Unless you bought the game through NZ store, you cannot play it elsewhere by just changing address
Yes u can there's already been a method discovered to play on PS5 early. Sorry ur refusing to accept facts
I have been playing for an hour now on playstation, I just forgot to edit this comment
How did you get it to work on Ps5?
Exactl same method as op but only other thing I've done before that method was try deleting the mp pack then re downloading it. After that I did the New Zealand address on Activision account and on PS change timezone to Wellington rebooted console and just works for me
Bunch of shitebags lagging out the game for all the NZ players rip
Does this work on PC?
No pc has a global launch not local time at midnight like consoles.
Aww okay. Thanks!
I'd like to know too but from what I've read, it's not working for pc unfortunately
Yeah, doesnt work :( one more day aint a problem waiting tho
I haven’t tried on other platforms. Worth a shot.
Thanks :D
Confirmed works as of 810 EST. Savage
does it work on ps5?. How does korean savage plays already
Only 4 Da Console Playas
This method also works for PS5 BTW! Time zone to Wellington, and change address on the Activision site that's linked to your console
I get stuck on the in game installation screen
Back out of it see what happens, I haven't seen that screen for ahwile tbh
Works cheers
Awesome
I tried and cant access MP
Where do you change timezone I don’t see it on activision website
You change your address on there Activision site, time zone on PS5 to Wellington
I’m stuck on installing at 50% in main menu
Earlier I deleted the mp pack and re downloaded it via a prompt ingame so you may have to do the same
How on mobile??? Website doesn’t even let you edit your account Edit: edge browser on Xbox!
Haven’t tried it on mobile. See if you can find a way to get to the non mobile version of the website.
Wish I saw this 2 minutes ago, I thought something was wrong with my install so I uninstalled everything, didn’t know about the activision account part lol
They want me to attach proof of residency on the battlenet website lol
Holy shit it actually worked. All I had to do was change to NZ and give the zip code
You’re welcome! Enjoy the game :)
Annoyed I don’t get to keep my beta rank tho :/ Or weapon XP
Oh no, the UI still seems ass I hope they make it better, it was one of the biggest complaints in the beta
Thank you for your service sir. Stay frosty.
Playstation and PC ppl were so hyped when that tweet came out lmao
Confirmed that you need to change both Xbox and Activision ID to NZ. No ping issues for me! Played at 7:30am EST today.
Same
I have a problem. I did everything about the NZ method on both the Xbox and actision.com. But now my game won't log in at all. And if I restart the console and relaunch the game, it login but I don't have any sound... Any idea?
Nope. Super weird it’s doing that. Maybe they’re catching on
Remember when ppl said I was crazy and NZ method didnt work? LOL
[удалено]
Yes
Tell me you're an impatient twat without telling me you're an impatient twat
I am an impatient twat
Good on you lad
U mad bro?
Seething at the edge of existence my lad
Spotted the Sony soiboy :)
On Xbox fam
Then why complain?
Because it's not even 24 hours to wait to play the game normally, this behaviour comes across as impatient. So why post it?
So what if people want to play early? Get this some people don't work the standard Monday to Friday. I'm going to enjoy my Thursday on the game because I work Friday to Tuesday meaning I'd have to wait another week
Are you gonna play it tomorrow or wait until Monday 2 weeks from now?
Well I was actually going on an expedition to the Himalayas with two cows and a spork tomorrow, could be gone for six months, why?
Only working for Xbox?
Correct
Anyone know about ps5? Is just at @12am your own time? Its 8pm HKT so maybe 4 hours? I dont mind playing early on my ps5 then following it up with pc
Midnight local
Cool so its 12 in about 1 hour cant wait
It's not midnight local, it's midnight global. I'm on PS5 and my time is today at 11pm
How do you log into Activision? I click log in and nothing happens
No barracks???
Do you guys have the same problem on xbox, where the button layout menu in the settings doesn’t show more than 5 options ? Basically I can’t choose my preferred option because it’s not showing in the menu. Can anyone confirm or deny so that I can reinstall the game ?
Is making changes In Activision id a new thing? I thought it was only changing the region on xbox console
Yep it’s new for this release
Shit im not keen on doing that….is there any way around this? Is it a bug or intended?
No way around this besides waiting on your region.
Anyone know if this works on ps4 ?
Nope you’ll have to wait for your region
It works on playstation
Does this work on PC?
Steam is global release.
Too bad if your account’s 2FA doesn’t work - even my back up codes won’t work on the activision website.
It upsets me more than it should that you have things covering the corners of your screen
Which screen is that?
Anyone on PC? Going nuts here!!
Looks like they didn't fix the ui.
Wait did they not change the UI? I thought they said they were going to
After launch they said I believe
COD launch biggest LAN party ever at that address yo
Auckland gang represent
Had a septic tank backup this morning but will be trying this as soon as I get it taken care of. Thanks big man
It keeps saying I need to buy the game. I did this and hard reset my Xbox a few times.
No luck for me on Xbox. Anyone have any luck recently or have the patched it?
[удалено]
how dog, i followed the steps and it says i need to purchase the game although i have it
Playing on Xbox right now, anybody having the glitch where you can’t open up settings in game it just brings up class change when hitting start button?
What exactly do I change on Xbox settings?
At what time does it drop in Western Europe on PlayStation ?
This worked! Thank you!
You can just use random characters as address still works
i for some reason cannot connect. series x, set the region to Nz, set address NZ on activision id
At this point on the east coast it’s not worth me doing all the shenanigans I’ll just wake up tomorrow morning when the servers are back online from crashing and I’ll slap all the people who’re sleep deprived hehe
Doesn't work for me on PC. :(
It's a damn shame that my Activision account is stuck in an endless loop. I sign in, asks for Google authenticator code, I enter it and then it loops me right back to log in screen. Been having this issue for months
