Step 1. Launch Call of Duty
Step 2. The Battle.net launcher opens up. Click on Play.
Step 3. Get bombarded with credits on all the studios it takes to make this dumb fucking game, skip it
Step 4. Advertisement! Buy the battle pass! Look! skip this too
Step 5. Now you're in the actual hub where you can finally pick WHICH Call of Duty game you want to play, even though you only have one. Select that one.
Step 6. The hub closes, and re-launches the actual game you wanted to play in the first place.
Step 7. Call of Duty Modern Warfare II has an update, you must quit to desktop and restart.
Step 8. Go through steps 1-6 again
Step 9. Sit through the intro credits movie for this game for a bit until you can skip it.
Step 10. Now you can finally fucking play your fucking game
I remember OG MW2 where it was literally
Step 1. Insert disc
Step 2. mash the A button to very quickly skip through the intro stuff
Step 3. select multiplayer
Step 4. search for game
and it took like 10 seconds
Looked up how the hell I can just launch the actual game I want to play and skip all that other shit and apparently there's not a way to actually do this
