Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2's multiplayer dropped just a little under a week ago. While fans are having a great time in the latest franchise entry, there have been a significant number of issues in the title that are making the experience less than optimal.

Performance errors, bugs, and game crashes are all too common a complaint, and while most of these issues are not all that difficult to deal with, there are certain glitches that are making the shooter unplayable.

One such issue that many in the community are facing is the “Activision account could not be linked” error. When this occurs, you will not be able to log into the game, let alone queue up for a match.

This usually happens when there is a bug in the game files if the servers are facing an issue or if something went wrong with the linking process.

While there is no permanent fix to the problem, today’s guide will, however, go over some steps that will allow you to temporarily solve the “Activision account could not be linked” error in Modern Warfare 2.

As mentioned the “Activision account could not be linked” error in Modern Warfare 2 usually occurs when there is an issue with the linking process or if the game's servers are facing a problem.

Hence, to be able to fix it temporarily, here are a few things that you can do:
