The early access of the Modern Warfare 3 campaign is now live instead of reliving the magic, players everywhere are experiencing a myriad of bugs and errors.

Modern Warfare 3 PlayStation players are running into a random disc required error even if they own the game digitally and haven’t ever played MW2, PC players are experiencing video freezes and crashing on missions one and two, Xbox players experiencing overheating issues. Everywhere you look on Reddit, there’s another player down.

Reddit user IMGONNAGETBANNEDS00N says that after installing the game, restarting COD HQ four times, and launching into the first mission, he experienced an instant video freeze while the audio continued and then the game crashed entirely. This is on PC and their system is well above the recommended specs.

Strangely, it seems like some people are dodging the bullet. On the same Reddit thread, Solaceqt said they aren’t having any issues and are getting 110+ FPS and they have a barely better PC. Whether you do or don’t experience errors and bugs when trying to get into the MW3 early access campaign, this launch is undeniably abysmal.

If, instead of pre-ordering Modern Warfare 3 and taking the day off to enjoy it, you waited because you knew it was going to be a disaster, congratulations, you made the right call.
